While all matches are scripted and the outcomes are already put on paper, the general public still doesn't know who will the match, so that is the reason why you can bet on it. Offcourse, in some matches are easy to predict the winners, but sometimes there is still a surprise. As I said before, I haven't placed any bet yet on WWE, but I can understand why there is interest to do it.
On a more personal note, I still love wwe and if I can find good odds on my favorite wrestler I can place a few bucks on them, I was watching a few fights between the undertaker and John Cena today and my knowledge from this thread played out the entire fight to see if truly the fight is truly scripted.

-But then it will take some form of in-debt analyses to be able to win against the casino since they already know the result and will work the odds around it to favor the house against the casino.

To get the best out of any regulated and licensed casino you have to hand out your document for verification and also be ready to abide by the rules and conditions of the casino.

-the fact that not maby gamblers like kyc due to the risk associated woth KYC which can range from identity theft, and lick to the government.

-But then we must come to terms with the reality on the ground, and this has changed the way things are viewed because bitcoin/cryptocurrency offers such a chance to be decentralized and privacy conscious.

I'm enjoying the current bitcoin price moment and still waiting and I'm sure people are still waiting like me. And I agree that we should prepare everything before the arrival of the bull run so that we can also benefit.
Yes I am also enjoying the current market trend, as bitcoin has retained its 28k price which is as a result of. So many factors that we may not be able to explain at the moment, but seeing that bitcoin prices have increased significantly since the last week and the momentum will continue and if we touch 30k before the day's end it will be a big gain for. Most investors who bought Bitcoin below the 20k price low of last year.

-Let's keep watching to see the outcome of the market volatility and act it out during the time ahead.
4964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Placing bet on WWE on: March 20, 2023, 09:56:42 AM
Other people may think it is a pleasure to see two or more players fighting to provide entertainment for them. And maybe that's what makes gamblers bet by choosing their favourite fighter.
Because they see it entertaining, they bet on it, what they know that is fixed already and fake? I do not think they know that WWE are only fixed wresting. Can you see billions of people watching the entertainment, most of them may not known it is just fake and scripted?

The day I know that WWE is fake, my zeal to watch it has decreased. I am not even watching it like before. But some people will still watch it, as they like to watch those reality shows which are also 100% scripted.
The confusing thing for me is that, despite spectators being aware of the fixed outcome of wrestling fights, they still spent a lot of money watching them fight according to. The script is given to them and the winner is selected before the fight begins, this should be a turn-off to many.

-And could this also be the reason why most bookmaker doesn't list WWE fights on their sites, what about football are there a possibility to see a fixed match, I also have feelings football can also be manipulated.

I think what the guy said is true, and he does provided a proof which seems to be true.
The proof by you visiting 1xbit.com.
Type 1xbit.com into your browser and click the enter button, you will notice that you will be automatically redirected to 1xbit1.com, this is something he clearly stated on the thread and I think that is a enough proof already, and the site looks like its been redesigned a bit as well.
He may be right from the statement on changing to a new website and maybe that's proof he is the new 1xbit management, but who cares about what he says to recover losses from members, the 1xbit team has claimed the previous statement of recovery but we get reports from members not being refunded, now they come again carrying the same announcement as the member's recovery statement.
Right, no one cares if the site or domain name has been changed,  in fact, I never border to even check to confirm what ops were saying and I don't take the official serious either, but I just want to make comments just to discredit both of them and as well warn others not to believe any promise made by anyone to solve issues.

-We already know who they are and their mode of operations, so it's best we totally avoid this casino.

The increase in bitcoin recently is not the final,  the real question is that can it continue to accelerate without experiencing any kind of down fall, I believe bitcoin small increase is not strong enough to call for jubilation, because it shows that bitcoin can decrease today and increase tomorrow,  as I stipulated in other threads that the increment in bitcoin is normal, but we can celebrate or be excited in bitcoin increase when is above the previous bull run of last two years when bitcoin was 60k in price.
Bitcoin price volatility is normal since volatility is a primary feature of bitcoin, and this present price increase is normal since there is nothing that can be pointed to as the cause of the increase but then we can say that this was more expected considering the bitcoin market outlook since the beginning of the years 2023.

-I am sure before the second quarter of 2023 is over we will know what the position of the market will be if it will continue with the recovery past or a full-blown bull run, we never can tell but let's keep our fingers crossed, and expect rhe best from the market for the time being.

Political betting is as old as traditional betting just that few casinos offer them, so there are unpopular but existed, we are more familiar with the sport and other games betting but the truth is that one can stake a bet in whatever events that are contested on, be it sport, politics, and other prize events as long as there will be contestants one can bet on them.

-The world is changing, and unpopular events are becoming popular people are diving into other sectors outside what they used to know, and this has opened up a lot of things in the betting world since we now have varieties of events to choose to bet on.

$1,000 a player can make a volume of bets 50-100k dollars?

50 to 100 times, even more, are possible through casinos (also on sportsbooks I think). But I have not been able to do this type of wagger. Even I think I could not reach 50 times any time of my deposit and I could not meet 10 times wager of my total deposit. I have no patience so I could not make such a wager.
It's likely only possible for the high wagerers who are already big bag holder, because I can't imagine myself making a $1k deposit and making a 50 to 100 wagering,  I can't even speculate how much days weeks or months that will take me since I am not a passive gambler.

-I only place few bets on sports some weekend and not everytime, e.g I did not place any bet this weekend and possibly next weekend I won't being doing any of that so my wagering level is low to achieve such rank in a short time.
4969  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Can I post this ? on: March 19, 2023, 11:56:02 PM

It already looked shady to me in just a glance. I know it's difficult to understand people why they still want to gamble in this shady sites, but I had once asked a neighbor of mine who also loved to explore such sites and he told me that, it's because people don't want to experience FOMO specially in my country. He also said not everyone can afford to gamble on some big time casinos due to minimum deposits, but still want to gamble even smaller amounts. I was like "what's the point?", in the end it only makes me confused.


What does the sense of FOMO have to do with it? I don't understand people like that(
Many proven casino platforms have a good reputation, why risk playing in doubtful casinos?
I believe no responsible gambler will want to risk their funds in a shade casino even though it requires a small amount for deposits, since there is no guarantee of having your winning why than playing on them.

-FOMO alone is not the reason, I think other negative factors aside from fomo are responsible for such a decision,  take this example a retailer who wants to buy products for resale and he orders for faulty products because there is a discount, and this will ultimately not end well.
4970  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1xbit1.com - New 1xbit.com management - We will try to solve all the problems - on: March 19, 2023, 11:43:52 PM

they should have created their own business under a different domain name. one search via google and they should have known that 1xbit has a lot of unresolved cases. they are just giving a headache to themselves. but if the new management is not legit, it means, the OP is just trying to catch some naive players to play on the site using their name. and probably disappear once they got a hold of some money.
On a more serious note, I don't take the ops seriously because there is nothing to show his credibility even if the 1xbit official has not discarded the claims it is still obvious that no one will believe this story.

-most especially knowing the bad reputation and image of the company here in the forum, which makes it unattractive. Most forum members.
4971  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH the King of Altcoins ? on: March 19, 2023, 11:40:28 PM

Due to the high price of ETH, its gas fees are relatively high.  For example, when the price of ETH was $100 and if its gas fee was 0.0005 ETH, but its value was $0.05, but according to the current price, that amount of ETH is worth $0.89 and the same amount when the price of ETH is $5000.  The value of ETH will be $2.0.  Thus, the price of ETH is increasing along with its gas fee and increasing in relation to the dollar.  And moving beyond our reach. And that's why many users and new companies are choosing BSC and polygon as alternatives to ETH chain
That is it, Ethereum has fees have been the biggest disadvantages of the network since inception and at the moment, nothing have been done about that, and the gas fees always rise in proportion with the price and any time the price move in one direction the gas fees move in that same direction and this is not only peculiar with ethereum but even Bitcoin network too.

-The issue with gas fees have really affected the scalability of the market because there have not been any development that will solve that problem in the ethereum network and that is the reason for the wide migration to other chains like BSC.

A very useful rule of thumb from the business world:

Never buy a company that has stolen money from customers and is being accused of a scam

you could have created your casino, so how much did you pay for a scam casino that must pay customers a lot of money?


Very correct, because buying an indebted and corrupt company make you guilty of all the crimes of the previous owners and I can't imagine some one taking over such a bad business/company like 1xbits because this act can lead ops to jail if those who have been cheated on by the previous operators eventually get justice in court.

-So ultimately this is not the decision by ops, and I will not support anything as such, now that the official 1xbit has denied the ops, it looks like this is another shill account.
4973  Economy / Gambling / Re: What sort of Weekly & Monthly Bonuses do Bitcointalk members want? on: March 19, 2023, 11:17:33 PM

you would spend a lot of money before you will reach the VIP status. if you have plans of achieving such status, make sure you are playing on a very reputable casino and maybe focus most of your funds to play with them. because if you will hop from one casino to another, your funds are like scattered everywhere.
VIP rank is not an easy height to come by and you are right on the need to spend a lot of money in wagering before reaching that level, and if care is not taken,  the gambler may become VIP when he/she has already lost interest due to the hustle in attaining that height.

-Casinos are well aware of all the benefits that come with the various ranks and just like bonuses tmcasino already have an established system that places them on the winning at all time.
4974  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New projects come out when bull market begin. on: March 19, 2023, 11:13:25 PM
This is a normal thing in every market,  once the price of an asset rises the will be a push for a new project to cash in on the wave of the moment.

-Likewise, when there is a market crash, some projects will postpone their development to avoid getting into the market at the wrong time,  So whatever market wave we are in, ther are those who either act for or against the market and this is a normal occurrence.
4975  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are We Going To See $30,000 Price Before the End of This week on: March 19, 2023, 11:01:47 PM
Personally, I see that we need some correction first before we rise above $30,000 because it is a peak that, if we reach it, it will be difficult for the price to fall lower.
The momentum is indeed on me, but it has slowed down, and therefore we can rise above 30,000, but without a correction, we will not continue to rise for a long time.
I'd prefer to be below that price for two to three months before healthy growth begins.
I agree with you on the correction speculations, by then we may possibly see a short-term correction, it may not last long and those who are waiting for the opportunity to buy the deep should be ready if not they can still miss the train before we cross the $30k price.

-I feel that we already missed the deep when the price slid down to 19k in the last weeks before the current momentum started again, 30k is highly visible at the moment and we may not see any more noticeable slowdown in the price of Bitcoin going forward.
4976  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the first success story on: March 19, 2023, 10:55:10 PM
People tend to believe what you tell them based on real-life experience, now that you have invested and have a success story, those who seem not interested will come back to ask you to teach them now, but won't blame them because some of them might have been a victim of fraudsters before.
First thing is that people tend to believe in what they can see, and Bitcoin is better to explain with evidence and as an investor, your result as in profit returns is what makes the big difference and can help to draw others to you where you can then educate them.

-It's not enough to advise people to invest in Bitcoin, but there is always a need for adequate education which will help them through whenever there is market uncertainty because when there is no proper awareness of the risk and volatility of the market it can lead to frustration and possible losses.

Similar topics have been discussed on this thread, you can see replies there.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5444141.0
I just checked that thread but it is lucked at the moment, which indicates that there are no discussions there at the moment, so this thread still looks appropriate to make discussions ad regards to WWE games.

-The reason why the discussion as regards WWE is not popular in this forum is duebecausest members already lost interest in WWE games since there are scripted and not real, so the most user does not find them interesting.
4978  Economy / Speculation / Are We Going To See $30,000 Price Before the End of This week on: March 19, 2023, 09:43:03 PM
Bitcoin is currently at $28k+ which is quite exciting at the moment since we never expected such a break out at this time because the Fed and Sec have not really relaxed the policies to regain the value of the dollar by lowering the interest rate and other economic factors that will strengthen the value of the dollars against another global asset such as Bitcoin.

-But with the recent Bitcoin market behaviour and recovery it has become necessary for us to open up a short-term speculation thread to discuss the price of Bitcoin within the next seven days, what are your speculations for Bitcoin in the next seven days do you think Bitcoin will cross the 30k price before this time next week?

-What are your speculations let's discuss this since this will give us a better understanding and help prepare us for the journey ahead because Bitcoin is set for an unprecedented turn out of events.

-the reality is tthatfact made me to lose interest in the game, but based on the fact that gambling is luck based,  I can still bet on wrestling if I see my favourite wrestler listed on the fight.
4980  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The Role of Currency Spectators In Currency Value Case Study of 9ja ₦ vs $ on: March 19, 2023, 09:22:15 PM
The margin between the CBN rate and the parallel (black) market rate before was very close, but Nigerians that are demanding for United States dollars are increasing and the rate they are demanding for foreign currencies in general is increasing. Nigerians have more been dependent on imports more than they export and this is depleting the foreign reserve.


The gap between the official dollars price and the black market is too much and that have been the mojar factor that have increase the rate of inflation in 9ja internal economy,  because the price of things are now left to the mercy of speculators, the fact that Nigeria depend solely on foreign good make the matter worst because there is no price control and the pricing market is left for speculation,  bit if Nigeria have domestic production that meet the demand of consumers it could have been more better for the inflation control unit of the economy.

-this inability have led the CBN to go on a full fleg witch hunting of currency exchangers who are termed currency speculators.
As of yesterday morning, the black market exchange rate was 720 per $ at Rumuola Port Harcourt. Which is higher than what I exchange last time I visited.


May be you visited a p2p exchange which depend on your collective bargaining if not the price of $1 to the naira on Binance and remitano was way above ₦741 which shows almost 25% to 30% difference between the official price and the black market price.


Arrest bawo  Grin lol. Sometimes I go dey think say whether the people wey seat for government seat no sabi think? Because most of us know why our naira dey fall yakata. When I mean government seat I mean in fact the number 1 seat wey be the president because na there everything end as far as Nigeria kind of democracy dey concern and this is unfortunate as the legislature and judiciary dey subsumed under the president not even the executive. We know say na because the level of the rate wey dollar demand dey increase dey high since we no dey produce anything even toothpick self and people need dollar to take buy imported products. People also dey jakpa, dem also dey carry enough dollar join body abi na politicians wey don dey hide dollar now no be even naira again. APC distribute dollar for this election, in fact no dollar for banks as we dey now. So parallel traders or P2P merchandising no be the problem because dem go also operate according to the economic theory of demand and supply.


When the head is faulty the whole body will be corrupted,  same as 9ja situation, since the president does not have administrative experience,  every other sector such as the CBN will liberate on this to commit various atrocities.

-So what we see is what we get until may 29th when the next president will be swear into power.


E get people wey dey cause all this problem and na those people the law enforcement agency supposed they go after no be the crypto market traders or Black market traders but you see those supplying this dollars to the black market, na dem wey EFCC supposed they put eye for because I believe this suppliers are the bankers demselves or dem they buy am from the banks which is criminal since dem purposely they inflate the price by limiting its supply in the banks so the black market can sell at costly prices.

These people incharge of the dollars know say if then put an for bank, dem no go get better profit compared to selling it in the Black market so they takeaway the dollars from the bank to the black Market. There's a whole industry behind this operative and if the government's wants to combat this issue then they should target the suppliers and leave the traders alone. These traders are just there to find daily bread and E no go makes sense to go they attack them.
The thing has been turning into a lucrative business because those that have access to the forest from CBN buy at a lower rate from the official market and then resale it in the black market just to make their gains, and when CBN listed the BVN of those involved in the act,  those who seek forest for international used make the largest in the list such Nigerians in the diaspora and international students who seek forest for tuition fees and expenses, until the CBN made some changes in the forest rate to such individuals and listed their BVNs on red flags for involving in currency trading recently.
