I don't believe in such superstitions and I'm not familiar with people who have these thoughts, so it's hard for me to judge. I've just seen behaviors like that in some movies' characters, what was really strange to imagine people could act like that in real life, especially the part they think by watching games with relatives the winning chances of the team they bet on increases considerably.

Maybe this kind of gambler believes good moments with pleasant people generate positive energies that will also influence their teams positively, since that is what they most desire at the currently moment, however, it's not the fans who are playing the game, it's the players. So the players' mindset, strategy and physical preparation are always the most important and decisive factors here.

Glad he did it publicly, that is a good incentive for another tech enthusiasts to also invest in bitcoin. It would be very nice if another big entrepreneurs and businessmen were also transparent about their interest and investments in bitcoin, just like Tim Cook. I bet the key players of business world are all bitcoin adopters, although they keep this fact hidden from the media and from anyone else who could leak this information.

As I see you have an average of 77 satoshis, RPs or lottery tickets per spin. That is above the minimum rewards rates of 34 satoshis, RPs or lottery tickets per spin. Maybe you have hit some 340 satoshis, RPs or tickets rewards too besides the lowest prizes? I imagine it's quite hard to check the rewards accurately with so many consecutive spins to be used.

Probably the best strategy for now is to use the spins when you think bitcoin is at its lowest price level, as the rewards will be slightly superior.

Cockfight isn't an exclusivity of Phillipines. I know there are people in another countries who are also adepts of this gambling category and wish to legalize it in their own countries. Personally I'm totally against cockfight, not because it's a betting activity financially harmful to gamblers involved on it as justified by the article, but because it totally disrespects and abuses the animals that are incapable of rational thinking. I consider cockfight torture of the worse kind, especially because it includes mutilation. It's a very sadistic practice to put two animals to fight for entertainment purposes. So it really should be suppressed by authorities, land based or online ones.

You are right. In my opinion it's better to play by the games' rules. The worse thing a player can attempt to do is to take advantage of the game and another players illegally. When this happens, sooner or later the player is going to be punished without any rights of appealing and since it's a very expensive pay to play game, the impact of a ban will be really harsh financially speaking.

The point is simple: just don't be greedy and it will be fine.

I consider myself lucky enough if I'm able to pay for the transactions fees with the profit made from a dice game session always I need it. It's not possible to have great expectations on dice due to the obvious disadvantage players have against the house, so I try to keep my goals humble and low on this matter.

It's always nice to see experiments involving bitcoin, but in this case I ask myself if it wouldn't be more worthful to invest in already existing structures (cities) when adopting geothermal energy and offering all those tax free policies to salvadorean citizens.

In fact there is going to be lots of criticisms, because people from another cities will inquire the government about the benefits residents from this new city are going to have, which won't be disponible for everyone else at same time.

Being realistic, if that survey corresponded to the truth, bitcoin adoption would be in a much more expressive level than it actually is at this moment. It's not easy to make an accurate survey. Interviewers need to collect people's feedback from different social classes, from different areas (even inside a same country) and from different ages. Also, people need to be approached by interviewers to answer the survey, it can't be exclusively spontaneous , because if it is, the survey will be biased, as it will collect opinions only from people who have a primary interest for that matter.

These are unfortunate news. It's really sad to hear a 33 years old soccer player can't continue his career because cardiac arrhythmia. Let's hope he can overcome his diagnosis and all the implications it will have on his life. I see he can count with the solidarity of many soccer enthusiasts and especially his countrymen teammates from Argentina, what is already a very good beginning in a difficult moment like this.
Probably he will keep working in the soccer industry, although not as a player anymore.

They can, but they won't, because to work in cooperation with the government is always profitable for them. And even though someone influent inside a national bank challenged a government's decision, this person would be instantly replaced by someone else aligned with the government's policies.

Of course banks are working for the government and for their own personal benefit. What the people want isn't important for them, that is a secondary matter.

Banks can't operate freely, because every countries have regulations which force the banks to adapt to them. The problem is when the country abuses these regulations in order to limit citizens' individual rights and to increase taxes abusively. In this case the best thing to do is to move yourself to a foreigner decent country faster as possible to live worthily.

Their situation is the best as possible at the top 1 of Group G without any menace against their leadership. I must say they were really lucky to join a group without any tier 1 teams to fight against, but at same time it doesn't take out all their merit. Taking their performace during this stage in consideration, Netherlands is going to be one of the favorite teams for the next world cup in Qatar.

For a game to be sustainable it has to have a sustainable in-game economy. Most of these games are just ponzi schemes which use the investments made by players to pump the in-game currency price, what means at some point it inevitably fails and every late investors lose money.

But if the game is good and entertaining it can work on long run, because there will be competitive players with legit interest for the game, especially those addicted players who desire to reach the top positions of the ranking. These players don't bother spending tons of money to boost their progress and have some advantage over their pairs. When it happens I think we could say competitive players feed farmers players who are there just for money, so the game becomes sustainable.

About ETH fees, well, that is easy to solve: just don't use it like many games are already doing right now.

I suppose it's a marketing strategy to promote bitcoin among young students, because it really doesn't make a lot of difference if home tuition support is paid in fiat or bitcoin currency. I don't know what are the intentions behind this good action, but I think it's positive for bitcoin anyway. The more people talk about it, the better.
News like this make people's interest for bitcoin increase, what helps to raise demand, also boosting bitcoin price towards a new ATH that must happen before this year finishes yet.

Maybe the decreasement in tickets number between previous and currently rounds was due to the fact Wheel's winning chances for better rewards were reduced considerably. It's harder to accumulate tickets from Wheel right now, because people are hitting the lowest prizes more often. But it doesn't look an issue, because people in general have the same winning chances they had before, as everyone is probably receiving less tickets proportionally.

To ban private crypto currencies doesn't mean people are going to stop using them.

To launch a state-isued crypto currency doesn't mean people are going to adopt it.

In other words, nothing significant would happen if the proposal of Union Finance Ministry went ahead. Bitcoin would still be the favorite one and their national crypto would be nothing...

This is actually already happening through the so many regulations being passed in different countries and also noticiable through sudden changes of mind by another countries, like China, for an example, which has already admitted they can regulate bitcoin at some point, instead of completely banning it.

Even the friendly bitcoin adoption by El Salvador is a good indicator the traditional system which rules the world is trying to take advantage of crypto currency to prolong their domination in every local socities.

The only skill a gambler can use in slots games is bankroll and bet size management, so he can play for longer, losing less money, consequently increasing the probability of winning money (considering the longer he plays, higher are the chances he hits a decent prize). However it doesn't prevent him from losing on long run, after many slots sessions, anyway.
Only very few people will be able to make profit from slots and those are the ones who hit the jackpot and never come back to play again in an attempt to be lucky again.

A comedy movie involving bitcoin would be interesting to decrease the tension created around it always connecting the crypto currency to illegal schemes, criminals and a lot of negativity. So I think a movie showing someone changing his life for the better thanks to bitcoin would look great and inspire many people to see bitcoin in a fresh way. If possible, it should be a comedy movie with the same vibe 90's and early 2000's had. I mean, a very funny spontaneous plot, without any political agendas like the infamous political correctness on it.

Actually "responsability" is another positive trait to be developed by gamblers. Gambling can help people become more responsible with their money and impulses. Even though it may not happen suddenly, there is always a chance to develop this trait after commiting many mistakes during betting sessions. It's valid to notice the most important lessons in life are learned during the hardest and mind consuming challenges we face.

Well, I see the launchment of BetDex decentralized casino is scheduled for 2022, but there is also XFUN (decentralized) Casino, from the same developers of FreeBitco.in, which is scheduled to be launched by the end of this year, featuring fully decentralized peer to peer sportsbook, casino games, social games and financial trading games.

There is going to be a lot of competition on this field and the most prepared, innovative and generous casino will prevail, for sure. However, if this category of casino is going to overcome the traditional ones that is another story which only time can tell.
