4821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Michael Jordan’s gambling history revisited. on: May 05, 2020, 09:23:45 PM
Furthermore Jordan also admitted his love for blackjack, but it isn’t clear if he visited any online casinos to play blackjack or no, but what do you’ll think is there a possibility that he visits online crypto casinos to play blackjack as a hidden user?.

Didn't able to watch the gambling part on his documentary but on what period does this Blackjack activity happened?

If it's on his prime days as a player in NBA, I doubt online casinos are hype at that time so it's possible he is actually visiting a physical casino but not just shown in public news. If it's current, then I don't see any big deal if he plays in an online casino.

Like any sports personality, they have their own gambling experience history. As for Jordan, he treating it as entertainment.

Are you always playing alongside each other and it can be viewed in your history? I think a practice needs to be done first before we came up with the real game. By the way, if I would be teaming up I think it would be nice if it's really from the same country to better understand easily as what you suggest on having mic on and able to convey the easiest since you know what language to speak of. I admit I'm not that still good on English verbally and chatting while playing is kind of nuisance and yeah that character limits too. Are your teammates also a member in this forum?

My teammates are from a nearby city and others are in the province. We usually have a mic on for better communication. In Part 1, my teammates are also at this forum and some are workmates. I don't know if they are still actively playing today.

I'd like to team up with others. Actually, I have a very good teammates or let's say squad playing for months now. They are all in the top rankings, but that would be unfair since I check your account.

Yeah but I'm still interested to play against your team. Maybe we can arrange that later on.  If others will saw your monster team, my real purpose of having a tournament here might not happen lol. Let's see if we can invite more teams here. If none for the next few days or a week, then we can arrange the deal with your top rankings teammates so that we can now post a game record here for a start. Smiley

is this open even if non Bitcointalk members?because i have a team in real life but they know nothing about crypto though i can encourage them to play with me here(only if alowed)

Yes, it's allowed as long as one of the players on that team is from bitcointalk although there's no way to check it. Anyhow, it's fine. Smiley

They have an escrow in the part one,  it was listed by OP.

For a single match and if both forum users are on a decent rank, we don't need an escrow. I doubt someone on that rank will show their true colors for a small amount. For tournaments, if ever, we will consider using an escrow, or I can do it instead.

We're currently trying to form a team in our local but so far we're not pro players  Grin Grin

I'm looking forward to this. Let's have some fun.

I also checked OP's account and all I can say is, he is just bringing the fun here without the purpose of being a hard competitive one. Specifically for casual players. The reason also why bets can be made at just around $10-$15.

Or maybe he is just using that harizen account as a trap to show that his main account is not on the Mythic rank haha just kidding. I just checked his last game at Epic match. He is the MVP with 14 kills with 0 deaths and they are only 4 on the team. Unlike Dota where the 4-man team can still win, in Mobile Legends it's hard to play in an incomplete lineup.

I will use my harizen account for the match here. Cheesy

So you and @asu are the last visitors on my profile. That match you are talking about is close to losing if I don't urge my teammates to end the game quickly. One of our teammates left 2 minutes after the game start. Good thing, we managed to slow down the opponent's late-game heroes. Hey, come on join us here.



I read all the suggestions and all are good.

Livestream
We will try this as possible. I'm also one of the participants so I think it can affect the performance of my device while playing unless I will use another device. Since this needs extra work, maybe I will consider this on the tournament finals, if ever and for a single match, a replay is enough.

Betting
Honestly, no need for a facilitator to this. If you saw an upcoming match here, you can ask here who wants to bet against you. Smiley Just do those safety measures to avoid being scammed.

Non-forum players
This is allowed because I doubt we can form a good number of teams here from Bitcointalk users only.



The reason I make this challenge, back in Part 1, is to really have a tournament - WINNER TAKE ALL. So for a start, I will accept any challenge, even how pro or good they are, to served as reference and somehow attract others to join. Yes, a single match. And not just against us, but other teams can challenge other teams here too.

If we can manage to form at least 4 to 6 teams here, we can now proceed with the tournament.

Proposal: Winner-Take-All
if 4 teams; bracketed by 2, Best-of-3,
if 6 teams, bracketed by 3, Best-of-3, Finals, best-of-5.

It seems like there will be no PBA season this year as it's possible that it will be cancelled.
https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/cancelling-season-now-a-possibility-as-pba-to-decide-by-august-a795-20200502?ref=feed_1_section

Quote
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said the board met on Saturday to discuss the plans of the remainder of the year in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, and they have set an August timeline as to how the 2020 season will be played.

we will know by August then.

The upcoming GCQ after May 15th will not allow any sports events. Businesses will slowly open but all workers aren't allowed to report for work every day, still, they will be on the skeletal work mode system. The number of confirmed cases in the country increases every day. Some who recovered are not totally virus free. It means there is no shortcut to have 100% virus-free within 3 months even today the vaccine will be available.

PBA board of governors should already know that 3 months timeframe to see what's the progress of the Covid-19 in the country shouldn't be the basis if they will still push the current season. "Virus-free or not within 3 months", they must not engage quickly into mass gathering activity because it might trigger again the gun.

I'm positive that we will have good progress within 3 months but let the whole community back to normal slowly without going back literally to where we are or what we do prior to the pandemic virus.

Resetting the PBA season next year will not really harm the current season since only a single game played and they are just in the first conference of the season. Or if they really like to continue the season, as we understand their employees also need to come back at work, extend their timeframe by a month or two, and only push the AFC. Limiting the crowd, or totally not having a crowd can also consider. Even fans missed watching the PBA live I doubt they will consider doing it right away even the government will say, it's now ok to go outside without any caution.

So I think that's that. My funds are safe but I can play at OneHash any time i want with VPN. Case closed, I think?

Yes, case closed but "for the meantime".

The same problem might happen in the future since you are bypassing the IP logs.

Anyways, if you accept and understand the risks then go. After all, OneHash is the only mutual betting site I know here in the crypto-gambling world.

You may also consider locking this thread if there's no other concern.
4825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mobile Legends Gambling [Part II] on: May 04, 2020, 07:03:03 AM

Also OP should know that there maybe lag in a different server according to my experience when i've joined players in different region those players is from Singapore and the lag really hinders the gaming experience.

There is no SG region server. The server of ML is global. Once you joined a match, all of you will be on the same server regardless of what's the country. Maybe it's your ISP.

Singapore do have lots of best performing ML players too. This means no problem at all about the ML server.

Connection stability would be a main problem with this one since not all players participating is residing on one country.This should be put up in consideration because playing on lag or high ping isnt always preferable.

If you play regularly, your teammates and opponents might come from other countries. Watch the weekly MCL you will also see that players came from a different country. Their server is not only designed to support one country. In fairness, since their inception, ML devs really worked hard to solved the connectivity issues. If ever there's a lag, it's unfair to just point it because of the ML server but the ISP itself might also be the problem. That's why it's advisable to record the game so that we can see the ping distribution throughout the match so that in case of a loss, no excuse or reason at all.

Botton line, rather than we speculate here, let's give this a try:)

There's a ping test game for at least 5 minutes before the actual match. That's the usual practice before the custom game starts.

As for OP, it would be great if you would record the game and post it here on the link so that other players can watch. I think there are some Mobile Legenda player here, but some would be solo players without a solid team.

Definitely I will. Smiley

I think it will be just good if you just team up with same country, the ping performance will really make a difference. I think Philippines and other SEA country has vast of players, I guess many will join in it. Does the past teams that played will be able to play, I guess you can contact them again. I wanted to join but only for Philippines and does it have a required rank to join to? I guess even custom still required rank requirements to be able to play with the other level ranks.

If just for ping performance, I see no problem teaming up from another country. The advantage of teaming up with players from the same country is to have the best coordination since they can understand each other easily (voice chat).

In Part 1, our opponent came from Indonesia if I'm not mistaken and I think not all of them came from the said country but rather they teamed up because they usually play together. I just checked the profile of Habie but it seems not active anymore.

Anyways, the custom game doesn't require minimum rank requirements.

Only need 1. If you want aside from a small bet amount ($10-$15), we can set each game into Best-Of-3 and not on a single round only. Cheesy We are not pro. We are just a casual player too. You can check my game history using my username here in the forum. And my teammates live in another region (province) of our country. I didn't even know them personally. Cheesy

He is in good hands now with Dallas. If I am Mark Cuban I would keep this guy just like Doncic.

Unfortunately, Cuban is known for not retaining a role player. He is always focused on the main core. Kind of, rushing things while building up. A famous one is when he destroyed their championship lineup, the season after they get their first NBA title. I never forget his bad move about that as a long Mavericks enthusiast lol. And he always does that kind of moves every season although I like the last one which is transferring DSJ to Knicks as I noticed, this guy's chemistry with Doncic is not that good.

Seth is also inconsistent in every game. He can be fired up today but the other day, poor performance. The reason that Cuban might look into the future.

But in fairness, Cuban maybe see something to Seth that's why they consider having him back to the team. No way they will just offer a 4-year contract to this guy without a good reason.

..if not maybe you can held a tournament with 1v1 i believe a few users will try to join and we will have multiple matches for the tournament.

1v1 is kind of boring. I will wait for a group. Smiley

Interesting. You're trying to create your gambling desk on a mobile game. Can you send 1st part's link for us?
Did you record the game? It would be good. And we could watch it on youtube. Who knows, you may earn some money for next round  Grin

That was way back in 2018. I doubt I can still see the replay in-game. Cheesy Didn't able to record it using a third-party app.

I can say that the Habiez team is really a pro.

Been looking for people that still plays this game. Whats your id number btw? Perhaps we could arrange some time for friendly spar or play together  Smiley

Btw different region might resulted in higher ping which could resulted in disadvantage for some team

You can check my worst performance game here, IGN: harizen Cheesy

About ping, we will have first a test ping game before the actual game. I suggest having the game recorded so that we can see if ping spiked up during the game. I'm looking forward to your team or you can invite others here to form a team.



I'm thinking about joining that game but I will still see if there are others that are also interested in joining.

Nice! I hope others will join you.

Part 1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2773081

Recently come back from playing after a year of just pure casual gaming with no effort to climb on ranks. Actually, just because of the quarantine period that's why I have a time again to play. Also, found new set of teammates so I decided to make an another Mobile Legends challenge here. Only 1 team participated in Part 1 and we never won against them Cheesy Hope there will be more this time.

This is definitely a game for fun. The amount involved can start to minimum $10-$15 per match (small amount? yes because purely for fun but we are open for bets higher than that).

If there are good number of interested teams who wants to joined we can setup a tournament instead for a single round robin , winner-take-all mode.

How:

We are looking for challenge.
Formed a team (or you can teamed up with others members here)
Shoot me a PM here in Bitcointalk or on my Telegram @harizen so we can fixed the date of the match. We are available everyday until the 15th of May.

Rules:

5v5

No official rules in general. All will depend on our conversation before the game.

Custom Banning. No Auto BAN.

LET'S GET IT ON
4830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: List of Gambling Platforms. on: May 02, 2020, 12:35:57 AM
I  don't understand why people never mention Augur here...  Huh
It's because it doesn't do marketing?
Augur had been made in the spirit of decentralization, on the blockchain technology. But it seems cryptogmablers don't care about that...  Undecided

Because most blockchain-based gambling sites are only limited to specific cryptocurrencies, as it was supposed to be.

Not also familiar with the site you have mentioned and I try to visit the site it but I can't find the page for the sports betting option. Something like the site is upgrading to V2 or what. Is this site covers also sports betting? One factor that gamblers are looking for is how large the betting options there. Provided odds also plays a big role.

And yes, marketing is no doubt really a must.
4831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sport betting site offering bets on the Covid-19 pandemic. Worst site now. on: May 02, 2020, 12:14:10 AM
That's why i am interested to know what is the particular type of bet, or what is written.
I can't just make a judgement if what they are is unethical or not if I can't review the site OP is referring.

There are shared sites in the previous post.

Some bets props are:

- Bets on city shutdowns
- Toilet paper shortages
- The vaccine being developed (when, where, etc)

As for the illegal gambling sites:

- Last digit of the number of daily new cases announced by Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
- Bet on whether the number is even or odd, and if the latest number in the respective countries is higher than the previous day's.

Hey people. Are you expecting a correction in the next days. A lot of talk about a price dump around 10% before the halving starts. How serious can this be?

Actually not in the next days but always. The recent price increase drove speculation that we might see another leap so others join the party. FOMO or not, should be taken seriously and don't be carried away although it's always a good entry point at below $10,000.

What should we expect in the next following days? Damn, that was really unpredictable. If you think halving can bring the price up without any hype, then just made an entry point today. Honestly, looking at indicators will just give you more confusion although always take note of what they are directing and considered that as your reference.
4834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you committed, or considered committing, illegal act to finance gambling? on: May 01, 2020, 01:13:16 AM
This keeps me wondering if there are still gamblers who haven't carried out an illegal act just to satisfy their urge in gambling.

Why think of that. Of course, there is. The gambling community is so vast and the situation you shared is just one of the negative effects of doing gambling. Don't generalized it on a whole.

That kind of act is human nature and not just happening in the gambling world. It's like Situation A = Effect, Situation B = Effect etc. These people failed on their main purposes why they do a certain thing so the time they failed they will do something, even illegally to cover the hole.

That won't be stopped. It really depends on a person how they will handle the stress of being a failure.
4835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Takes Place Amidst Pandemic on: May 01, 2020, 12:52:49 AM
The kind of boxing where all people wear a facemask, even the boxers, will somehow be marked in history lol. This is the first time.
The boxers did not wear a face mask, it is impossible to fight with masks in a real professional bout  Tongue.

-slapface-

It should be obvious that what I'm pointing is prior and after the fight. Boxers wear a mask but of course not during the fight. We are not on kinder days to take that statement literally.

But surely, if such an event never resulted in another related case to Covid-19 on their country, expect that more organizers, not just in the sports industry, will follow the same since they will think of it as safe and no problem.
They are taking the risk which is not advised in a situation of pandemic and no one really knows the extend and how long we will be in a state of hiatus and we cannot shut everything down for a long period of time but for that we need to find a solution to cure the virus if not they are putting everyone at risk including the fighters family members.

They take risks because their situation is different compare to other countries. Meaning even with the 1st and 2nd wave of the virus spread from another country, they still managed to minimize their cases and successfully maintain the low number of confirmed cases. So rather than shut downing completely all the business, they push for it with great caution.

However, I don't know why they consider having a crowd. They can push without it as part of precaution. I don't know what happens after the fight. All people there must be put on self-quarantine before going again in public.

It seems the mayor of Las Vegas only wants profit and do not understand the pandemic, in a recent interview with Cnn anchor Anderson Copper she wants the business open including casinos, hotels, and stadium. what do you think about this

Didn't watch the interview as responses here is enough to tell me what happened. Even how the Mayor likes it to happen, I doubt business owners will consider doing it. And local government can't just mandate it just because they want it. Since we are talking about the global pandemic virus, they need to comply with the government's current ruling and policy.

Criticisms will surely raised and the Mayor will be aware of that. I want to see what will be her next move.
4837  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think sport betting and gambling casinos are the first business to get up on: April 29, 2020, 08:15:57 PM
This Pandemic will last for 6 to 8 months more and it will definitely take a toll on the gambling casino business.
Do you think it's one of the businesses that will get up or recover their losses immediately after this pandemic is over
or it will take some time because people will have to take care of business first or go back to work first.

In most of the cases, a regular player of physical casinos is well-funded and actually rich. They will surely back on their habit once the situation eased.

However, it still depends on how hard these casino's respective areas got hit. Even everyone is eager to make a comeback in their casino gambling experience, if those casino areas were reported as one with the most confirmed Covid-19 cases, people might get worried.

I don't really see that money is a problem here since surely some have money. It can't even be used in a place that got heavily affected by the virus, especially during a total lockdown where all services are closed. Money is totally useless to these places to the point that they just saved it.

About sports betting, I see it will not take long before it gained again on its average betting percentage. As we all know, sports betting is mostly done online. Totally safe from physical interaction with other people.
4838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: April 29, 2020, 12:49:40 AM
Hard foul (physical one) turns out to what new era now the being soft foul of what we called Flapping. Pistons where the reason why the recent flagrant foul has been implemented. Cheesy

Flagrant foul should be really implemented. Pistons being called "bad boys" means they are aggressively fighting physically on offense and defense especially on the paint. It's fine to get hurt as long as it wasn't intentional as it was normal to have physical contact on the court. Yes, there are times that it looked intentional, and if these players are just intended to hurt a player every game, it destroys the whole game. So the implementation of flagrant foul is necessary.

We should blame the refs for today's soft era. Even a skin contact or a no contact at all is considered as foul. Therefore, why play hard on defense if that's the case.

And aside from that, outside shooting became trendy that even most of the big man does have a stroke of it. The reason why we only see a few dominant physical plays on the paint unlike before where having a big man is always a big deal in every team.

4840  Economy / Speculation / Re: What this Bitcoin halving bring? Does the Bitcoin price go up or down? on: April 28, 2020, 10:39:31 PM
It was presumed that with this halving Bitcoin price will go up, but due to the ongoing pandemic of Coronavirus situation is changing drastically, therefore, now on the basis of these scenarios it will be interesting to see that, what this Bitcoin halving bring? Does the Bitcoin price go up or down?

How come you conclude already that bitcoin price changes its path due to the Covid-19? In the last halving, it takes time before bitcoin manages to get some fuel before pushing up but still ended to where it is now.

Surely, most people really have a mindset that the exact meaning of halving is moon price. It should be changed.



It's suppose to result to an increase of price, but it seems like the corona virus in a bad timing, bitcoin could have been trading over $10,000 now if there was no pandemic, but then we can't undo what has happen already, and despite of that, the market is quite bullish now, so I'll say halving something did a magic for crypto not to dump again.

I tend to disagree. Bitcoin has difficulty climbing even at $8,000-$9,000 before Covid-19 freezes the economic activities of the majority of the countries in the world. Meaning, with this pandemic virus, which happened or not, we might still see today the same price movement behavior.



Just trust the process.

If the pandemic virus really has a strong negative impact on bitcoin, the price should be playing at $2,000 to $3,000 now with no signs of green light. Totally different from what is currently happening.
