Good luck to the brave people that bet the Heat moneyline hehehe.

NBA experts, what has changed with the Heat in this game? My heart was telling me to bet Heat +9.5 and over 216.5, however, my head was telling me it might only be throwing away money.

Little surprise there.

One of the enduring mysteries of this arena is the willingness of people to throw their Bitcoin away in a way I'm certain they'd think twice about with dollars. How you can favour retaining the currency that's only going to reduce your spending power and piss away the one that may ensure your future is beyond me.

Fuck 'em.

Similar to ICO gamblers hehe.

In any case, I am skeptical of loot.bet's statistics. Their study should have a comparison with the largest fiat sportsbooks in the world. The article only appears to be a paid for advertisment.

Just looking at a couple of games on the surface with not doing an in depth review, I like the Giants to cover the spread but I am waiting to see if it is pushed out to +14 or +14.5 as I would feel more comfortable. I also like the Bills to cover the spread, what do you guys think of these two picks?

We are together on the Bills hehe. I also like the Washington Redskins to cover +13.5 - +14. I speculate the Ravens' mood will not be very positive after the loss to the Chiefs. Lamar might be thinking Herbert is better than him hehehehe.

Also, I know everyone hates the Cowboys in here, however, they might cover -4.5 in their home stadium.

Who has Chiefs -7? That was lucky. Cam Newton has the coronavirus.
4844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: October 03, 2020, 02:52:19 AM
I might bet on the Heat game 3 if the sportsbooks give us +16 hehehe. I have stopped watching the game, this again is another complete decimation by the Lakers. 4 - 0.

the author of this post can be a good preditionist ( something that is good at predictions or predicting ) . he was right that eth 2.0 got delayed again .but are  are there leaked infos  before , before he post this thread at the month of febuary ?

 i knew it , that the fate of eth 2.0 is getting simillar to the etf but i think that etf thing is more worster because people have assumed and posted so many threads or updates and in the end there is still no clear answer to them .

I disagree hehehe. I might only be one of the quicker people to accept when there is something wrong during the middle of the pump and the hype.

You observe the craziness in the cryptospace for 5 years hehehe.
4846  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi hacks [history] on: October 02, 2020, 11:41:57 PM
I try to keep track of all defi hacks in this thread. Considering that this topic has become popular in 2020, we can conclude that the number of hacks is not so much,
the amount of stolen funds is much less than the centralized exchanges lose.

Fresh good news

Hehe the skeptical me is thinking that the whitehat hacker might also be someone from their development team trying to make it appear a 3rd party has audited their code and make the project appear more trustworthy.

@GreatArkansas. They want everyone to relax hehehe.

Bitmex mass withdrawals might occur similar to a bank run after release of this news, I reckon. Its users should try to withdraw, however, it would not be shocking if Bitmex blocked them.

There is also the danger of a government takedown of the domain.

This appears to be the cause of the small dump on bitcoin.

However, that might not be the real problem. The real problem might be, are the executives of Bitfinex, Tether and iFinex next?

In any case, Bitmex domain has not yet been seized.

4849  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-09-28] Grayscale Investments now controls 2.4% of the current BTC supply on: October 02, 2020, 03:02:37 AM
I did a bit of research about Grayscale Investments. One thing I liked about them is that 44% of their funding comes from non-institutional investors. This include individual investors, as well as retirement investors. However, I heard that their fees is quite high. From what I have heard, they charge 2% per year in fees. For comparison, most of the mutual funds have an annual fund maintenance fee of 0.25% to 0.50%.

What are the names of those individual investors? They might be the whales of the cryptospace that have a professional relationship with Barry Silbert. I am quite certain they are not poor like us hehehe.

@wheelz1200. The Lakers are presently leading the game by 30 points. I might have gotten very excited to witness Miami lead by 11 points in the 1st quarter hehehe.
4851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: US 2020 Elections data, polls and bets on: October 01, 2020, 02:07:42 AM
Are opinion polls more accurate or are the sportsbooks odds more accurate? I had this discussion with @bryant.coleman.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237990.msg55259079#msg55259079

Would the whale bettors not treat this similar to a new of an injured player before a basketball game and move the odds if the opinion polls were more accurate?
4852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: October 01, 2020, 01:29:46 AM
I think this might be one of the easiest bets in the playoffs so far.  I think the lakers win by 15 here.  Lebron smells blood and he is not going down 1-0 to the heat no way.  Good chance dude posts a triple double tonight and AD scores 30+.  Predict a boring lakers championship 4 or 5 games.

How many games have the Miami Heat have beaten the spread in this playoffs? I reckon they are being very underestimated. Their win versus the Bucks should have proven that they might have a better odds to win against any team.

Also, Erik Spoelstra might know how to play against Lebron hehehe.

It appears that Pacman and Conor might be the promoters of this fight. I am not certain how trustworthy is this journalist, however. The source was not mentioned.

In any case, I am hoping for the MMA fans to hype Conor for better odds on Pacman hehehe.



Statement from Senator @MannyPacquiao (1 of x): “At the present time, I do not have an existing management contract with @AudieAttar. I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: (MORE)

It has taken Filecoin development team 3 years before launching their network. How much more years does everyone predict will the Ethereum development team launch Eth 2.0? Also 3?

Three years after its $205 million initial coin offering (ICO), Filecoin has said its live network is about to launch.

4855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Openbazaar needs your support on: September 30, 2020, 11:56:35 PM
The article is outdated, they were able to secure funds for until this year so those supporting services to OB and their app won't shutdown in Oct 1. The end game doesn't change though, unless they can fix what they lacked-- enough users/working business model.  Relying on donations to run without enough userbase won't work either as it is unsustainable.

BREAKING NEWS!

An anonymous donor has agreed to cover the costs to run OpenBazaar infrastructure through at least the end of the year.

and looks like OB1 won't be the main dev?

The future of @openbazaar will be more independence from @OB1Company. More news on that soon.

The tweet mentioned that the donation was only good for until the end of this year, however.

Also, this does not change the description that Openbazaar might be something similar to a webbrowser that is only wanted by a very small segment of users.
4856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi hacks [history] on: September 30, 2020, 04:49:29 AM
@zasad@. The skeptical me thinks that this is the beginning of the Defi exit scams. He tweeted about his not completed and unaudited smart contract and then suddenly from his deployer account, an attacker deposited $8 million?

4857  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Openbazaar needs your support on: September 30, 2020, 04:11:57 AM
OpenBazaar made a nice attempt. Buy after a few years of peripherally watching their platform, it doesn't seem like they moved that much forward unfortunately; and quite surprisingly too since I don't think they even have a close competitor.

Imo it seems like their time is cut short unfortunately, but I applaud them for their attempt.

They certainly deserve the applause. However, would you give them support by donating to their address or do you reckon they should stop and accept defeat?

@Darker45. This is not a good sign if we can only hope for the genuine supporters to be sincere in their advocacy of bitcoin.

What they say might be different from what they do.
4859  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Openbazaar needs your support on: September 30, 2020, 01:27:08 AM
After 6 years, it appears that this implies that the cryptospace does not need a decentralized marketplace. There were also people in the community that described Openbazaar as something similar to a webbrowser for a very small segment of users. Thy are slowly proven to be correct.

It needs your support.


Over the past several months, we have been relying on OpenBazaar’s donation funds to support these infrastructure costs, but those funds will be depleted shortly. At OB1, we have desperately tried to secure more funding to not only maintain OpenBazaar’s support costs, but execute the next phase of the protocol that we believe can unlock explosive user adoption. Sadly, we have been unsuccessful and have no choice but to discontinue these supporting services.
We would like to apologize for the short notice, which is the result of last minute funding plans falling-through. We will do everything in our power to try and extend the window so that users can safely withdraw their funds from their OpenBazaar and Haven wallets.

If you have been positively impacted by OpenBazaar or you believe in the mission & vision of a global decentralized marketplace, we need your financial support today. Please consider donating at the following addresses:

The Ravens defense is not as good against the Chiefs in this game, I reckon. The score is 34 - 20 with only 7:00 in the clock on the 4th quarter.

Lamar is taking risks throwing the ball far and long.

Also, what sportsbook in the cryptospace offers NFL MVP futures? Josh Allen is my bet for MVP hehe.
