4881  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers are betting on Trotting and Marbles due to Coronavirus on: April 14, 2020, 11:13:00 PM

I think the demand is on fiat online sportsbook although maybe the number is not that high. It's just that, they noticed a significant increase compared to its usual.

And as for the article related to what OP shared, trotting is popular in Sweden. For the record, Sweden currently has 11,445 confirmed cases on which have 1,033 death and 381 recoveries. Australia, one of the countries where horse racing is also popular (also on trotting) has 6,400 confirmed cases on which have 61 deaths and 3,598 recoveries.

How come they can freely play sports? Or maybe it was done in another country? I can't think of another country or region that is COVID-free that this kind of sport is popular.

People are hella bored and thankfully there is online stuff that could entertain you right? Is there any way to join the fun but in crypto?

For marbles, I can't found some.

Nice reference. Good work OP. If I'm not mistaken, only a few users did this kind of stuff of recording their bankroll investment. And somehow, other sites that are popular before on bankroll investment already halted their service of bankroll investment feature that's why I believed, only a few push the idea.

Amazed by your guts as even those sites you choose has already build up a good number of investors and large bankroll, you still ride the wave. As always, the house always wins and good luck.

I thought Yolodice stopped their service about bankroll investing so now they back? Anyways, upon checking, their 2% dilution fee was disabled till 4/16/2020 so for those who want to ride the wave and care much for 2%, better plan quickly. Anyhow, even with a dilution fee of 2%, surely in the long run it will be earned back.

So let's see how this goes in a month, maybe you can update us about that for us to know if these sites are good to invest with.

Don't worry, OP mentioned that he will give a weekly/monthly update.

But don't expect a nice return on that duration. Bankroll investment is a long-term investment.
4883  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best time to begin your gambling affiliate journey. on: April 14, 2020, 09:31:06 PM
I simply agree with OP because everyone is witnessing more increased activities on gambling because of everyone is staying within their home to safeguard themselves against corona outbreak. I believe this trend will continue even after lockdown restrictions will be lifted out because physical casino may remain closed as government may not allow them to operate as that could lead to spreading out virus when more people gather at one place.

Mind telling us some valid sources that show there's a significant increase in online gambling activities amid the current situation? Or people here just noticed it because it was most mentioned on some discussion here in the gambling section?

I'm also with the thinking that online gambling is now on-trend since the worldwide lockdown implemented but that changed while the situation got worsen every day. I do believe that some gamblers who are into playing at physical casinos literally stopped their gambling activity, not shifted on online gambling or just try it in the early weeks, and now instead focus on important things especially at those countries and areas that got hit struck by the virus. Instead of putting their money into entertainment purposes, they are allocating it instead to their basic needs e.g medicine, foods, essentials, etc.

So, this must be very right time to make people signing up using our referral link so that we may start earning some passive income and also may share some percentage of revenue with those people as a gratitude which is known as ref.back in PTC industry.

Actually, it's not about the right timing. Anytime is a good time.

It's a matter of effort. Even some people say that this is the right time for doing an affiliate program, without an effort, that is totally useless. Don't just depend on the thinking that people will signup easily at these platforms in a time like this. I'm seeing no changes at the difficulty of gathering referrals with or without the pandemic virus that struck the whole world.
4884  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 14, 2020, 01:07:56 AM

Honestly, canceling the whole season may not actually harm the current standing since All-Filipino, the first conference of the season has just started (only a single game played).
They can cancel the season but I think it's not necessary, why not just wait until the pandemic in the Philippines is over, and then start the conference based on scheduled, it doesn't matter if 2 conference will be cancelled as long as we can see the PBA resume.

I just actually gave a scenario on my whole post that leads to my bottom point of view.

The timeline of commencing PBA again really depends on how far PH will handle the pandemic virus.

I'm hoping for good progress even it will take a year but I hope not that long. We don't want to deal with the virus for long, it will be a disaster.
4885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 13, 2020, 11:42:34 PM
My question is, which conference will be suspended if it will be implemented that the two conference only will played in this season?

The Philippine cup has just started, so it means this conference will implemented? do they have a final words already about this?

As for the PBA's management final decision, there is no official announcement yet.

But if I will answer that based on my own view, the All-Filipino Conference can be canceled for good since it just started and continue to the next conference instead (Commissioners Cup - around June). But knowing the current Philippine medical status, it's impossible to fully control the pandemic virus within just a 2-3 month period. We might see a decline in the numbers of confirmed cases and an increase to recovery in the following weeks but to fully execute the PBA comeback, it needs at least 100% assurance that it's now safe to social gather.

Now, if we add another 3 months and let's say the virus was totally controlled (I hope so here in PH), PBA can now proceed to the last conference which is the Governor's Cup instead (officially commences at around the month of September), canceling totally the first 2 conferences.

Bottom line:

Honestly, canceling the whole season may not actually harm the current standing since All-Filipino, the first conference of the season has just started (only a single game played). Not difficult to implement it unlike in NBA where they are now in 3/4 of the season and just around 20 games left before the playoffs. As for the contract, they can adjust it instead as players organization should already aware of that.
4886  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cleaned out stake.com balance! on: April 10, 2020, 09:38:43 PM

Difficult to imagine for me that the dice bets were placed just after the moment you placed your bet on the sports.

And it all happened within just a minute. Did you review your sports bet history?

Anyhow, only Stake can answer this. I saw you already addressed this on their thread so I hope you got an answer. Knowing Stake, they are one of the reputable gambling sites here so you can expect they will respond* eventhough the support already tells you they won't investigate this. Just try and try.
4887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown on: April 10, 2020, 09:18:07 PM

If I'm not mistaken, the Las Vegas entertainment haven was shut down on March 21,22 or around that day (someone can correct me on this).

Supposedly, workers should still have the salary to collect today or that was already distributed? I also don't know the whole story but are the workers literally got nothing from their employers since the outbreak happen?

At least somehow, the company should understand the situation. It's not that they will support those workers until the situation got back to normal but at least, they should arrange a fair compensation as support even it will just last a couple of weeks. People will now depend on their LGU's after that.
4888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitstarz stealing money again and accuse people of being criminal.... on: April 10, 2020, 08:56:28 PM
Just for clarification, you just used your son's email to reply right? And for the BitStarz account, you only have one registered on your IP? How come they say you broke the rule of welcome bonus more than once?

How much is your deposit? If you can afford to lose that, maybe you just need to move on. What matters here is, you post your experience to warn others. Sorry for your loss.

Yes I only used my sons email to reply, using one of he's old laptops and the windows live program is set up with sending out with he's email I do receive all mails on my own email though.

Luckily I didn't get to deposit much on that site, i only made around 200$ in deposits total, last deposit was 30$ i think, where i was lucky enough to win on monopoly live witch got me up to 4380$ that would have been really nice to get since its about what i get from 3 months in pensions so yeah that is a lot of money to me, but on the bright side i didn't lose much at this casino.

And yes that's the main reason I am making posts around the web to warn others so they don't run into the same thing.

That means you only have 1 single account on Bitstarz so we should now remove the IP issue here since the welcome bonus doesn't abuse as well but the site support still insists on the IP issue, right? Well then as you also mentioned after you offer them lots of options to prove that you are the only one who speaks to them, even doing a video call, they didn't bother now to reply to you and almost closed the ticket. Unprofessionally in my case.

My response here is solely based on how I look and understand the story. Don't like to be one-sided as we need Bitstarz's own response about this although, as I said, the site reputation doesn't seem to be good overall and honestly. Aside from that, I don't like the way their support is talking to you.

You have 2 options:

a) Continue to talk them nicely even how annoyed you are until your patience level reached its critical level
b) Accept that you are now unable to get that amount and move on
4889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: April 10, 2020, 01:25:10 AM
That's correct but the risk is more on the audience as not all of them are healthy and not all of them have the capacity to spend money when hospitalized, when the crowd is in big risk, the NBA can't sell their game to the crowd.

We really need a vaccine where people will not be affected by the virus and that they will be cure right away once infected.

Right, that's the sad reality.

As for the vaccine, I'm not expecting it will be made right away but I hope for a good. Once it made, except that only a limited production will be made and the cost of it is also a concern. We are still dealing with the previous viruses without a vaccine.

That's why as part of precaution just in case, let's say the world now finally controls the situation 3-4 months later, the NBA can use another couple or more months for extra works to make sure everything is ok for the current NBA season to resume. Not rushing for the return. It means the game will continue but the plan for no audience will still push. The season will continue even it will take place next year. No need to reset. They will just sacrifice the 2021 NBA season or whenever they will return but damn, thinking it will happen means we still need to deal with the current situation for a long period.
4890  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Simple trading advise for newbe that should follow on: April 09, 2020, 11:55:33 PM

It's better for me to see newbies failing in doing trades on their early phase of trading journey. They will never be used in handling the risks if things are always going easy. As long as they learning every time they lose and not giving up to try again, that's good.

Reading basics is a must preparation prior to entering the trade but a newbie will just understand the deep meaning of those basics once they experienced it in actual. Professional traders today still got wrecked on decision making but since they are used to experience loss, they can deal with it anytime.

There's no shortcut to progress. Losing experience is a strong foundation that professional traders have. I'm not saying newbies should always suffer from a deep loss but they must experience the wrath of losing so that they will seriously try to avoid it next time.
4891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My record of information about gambling investments. on: April 09, 2020, 11:33:47 PM
I understand mate, still for me investing is better than saving money because I do not like to stay on what I am now, so I want to make more money for me, and investing will help me to do it, I know that there is a risk of losing money but I would still take for it,
Having a good skills ang techniques will be a good advantage in investing so I keep learning on it.

Don't tell me this kind of investment is your only choice?

I like your mindset about investing vs savings but I do hope that it doesn't limit yourself into only considering gambling bankroll investment schemes. Technically, investing in a gambling bankroll is the investment you can't rely on long-term to support your needs. That should be considered as a side investment only alongside your stable investments.

P.S You can multi-quote messages in a single reply post.

On top of breaking that rule, the rule of using the welcome bonus more than once on the same IP has been broken too.

Just for clarification, you just used your son's email to reply right? And for the BitStarz account, you only have one registered on your IP? How come they say you broke the rule of welcome bonus more than once?

Bitstarz reputation here is not that good, why you end up using that site?

4893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: List of Gambling Platforms. on: April 08, 2020, 10:14:15 PM

Nice to see a list that redirects into their respective ANN thread to see the most recent discussions. A good reference to check before making deposits.

I also suggest to OP to check manually those reference threads and remove the inactive to active ones. This is to sort out only the possible best casinos for newbies rather than dealing with other sites. Also to save time.

Aside from killing the boredom, just want to add that gamble responsibly especially at those who don't have extra money to risks. In most cases, people are desperate to earn more during this time and that purpose might lead to worst-case scenarios.
4894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 08, 2020, 09:49:07 PM

Yeah they are very much alike, because they are father and son lol. But kidding aside, I hope that Kobe will be as great as his father. Does he already a player in PBA? Its been a long time since I watch PBA and follow its news. And kobe is the youngest between the two right? And got a draft in the NBA?

PBA - No attempts have been made
NBA - No attempts have been made

Currently, he is playing for UP Fighting Maroon in UAAP. I don't know what his plan but prior UAAP he wants a professional career outside locals. He is now 22. He should rush so every year matters.



Back to PBA, JuneMar Fajardo has a chance to be the GOAT but I don't know the real criteria to be called that one. Stats and the number of the championship is truly not the basis, at least in NBA. Or maybe the nature of competition per year? Not sure though as it's difficult to say that this era is soft compare back then. It's unfair to all players.

Anyhow one thing for sure, JMF is one of the greats. He is still active so he can add more to his achievements.
4895  Economy / Economics / Re: The pandemic outcome on: April 08, 2020, 09:14:02 PM
How about you give me your thought on this event  I might be adapt your idea and get some of it to surest my stability when the time comes,

The most important thing is to try to save money as much as possible. Yes, it's hard to save while no new money is coming that's why use and spend the remaining money only on those important matters. In other areas, the government can still give assistance so used them wisely too.

In a time like this, lots of scams are also riding the situation. They can deceive easily those people who are desperate to double their saved money quickly. That's what you need to avoid as it's a no-brainer to believe in those. Tell also your family.

Selling things is nice too. Try to start at those things your family doesn't need and put it on sale. Of course, you need to sell it at a below-average price for a second hand since you have to understand that other people do have a tight budget too. Try also to think what's the best side income in a time like this, although it depends on the situation of the area. Fortunately here, deliveries are in-demand since people are advised to stay home. Restaurants and other merchants are still open but only on take-out orders. I have 2 motorcycles on which I recently registered for delivery services. One of my relatives uses it as a past-time during his day-off at his work from home.

In fairness, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are looking good at that style compare to those 3 other duos lol.

With those funny images, I remember this website: https://www.sporcle.com/games/greengreengreeny/nba-face-merge Cheesy

Has anybody heard about what the salary cut thing resulted with? There was talks about something between 25% to 50% cut for this years money..

It can't just be finalized right away within a short period for some reason. Let's wait for the update.
4897  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Awesome domain raffle.io for sale on: April 07, 2020, 09:35:36 PM
Well, bro, that is too expensive, can you explain why your price of selling a domain name that cost in that amount?

If ever there will be a site owner that wants to build a raffle-related website or just want the term "raffle" as part of the domain whatever the service is, that domain name is suitable for them. Short and easy to remember that most audiences want. And since the domain name is considered as the most-used word on a search engine, with the help of some boost, it can reach the top results of all web-search engines in no time.

It might be expensive for us but reasonable for those site-owners that wants this kind of domain. Anyways, don't know what's the current bid as of this time. It needs login to Flippa I guess to check.

I am hoping that this would be a great help for all of you who want to start investing.

I'm sorry and I don't want to spoil the thread buts let's face it. Basically, this kind of investment today is not recommended nor suitable for those who are expecting a good return. Big gambling sites today don't need that kind of feature already. 

And agree, efforts are made by OP but if you will look at some discussion and after reading those, I doubt a person will willingly consider investing at a site's bankroll.

This kind of investment is actually for those who understand how gambling works. Not just that, they must also understand that even putting BTC1 on those, you can't expect a good return. For a person, who eyes on stable, regular and good returns, this investment is not recommended for them but instead, just go with the stable investment with sure and possible good returns in the long-run.
4899  Economy / Gambling / Re: Proof that Freebitco.in game is not provably fair. on: April 07, 2020, 08:19:56 PM

1. Freebitco.in has 5% House Edge. And even at 1% house edge, 10 times losing streak is always possible.

2. Martingale is not a betting strategy.

3. 50 % win / 50% lose chance? - bottom line, still relying on chances.

4. Charge that to your experience. You can gamble again if you want but at least you know now what will happen if you continuously play longer each of your sessions.

5. Lock this thread as somehow the community already feeds your mind. You can find it at the bottom left of this thread.

I'm thinking of setting up a match here if anyone wants. Smiley
^ Interesting.
Let me know once there is.

We need some time to test the platform and the other's suggestion (but I like the one I quoted - will refer to OP's review and self-review) and make sure that a good number of people want to join so that the effort will not be wasted.

Before, I set up a Mobile Legends challenge here but only 1 team accept the challenge. And last year, I want to set up an online billiard friendly competition via MiniClip. Others show interest but only 1 push for registration (@asu).

Well then, the discussion about these should be in a separate thread. Let's see. I will practice first too for a refresh lol.
