4981  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming and Mobile Sport Betting May Be Legal After Covid-19 End??? on: May 03, 2020, 07:23:04 PM
1. No, it's illegal. But only these companies which have at least 1 physical gambling/betting shop may have online gambling website. So, they block all foreign websites like Bet365, Betfair and others. Though, you can use it easy just by changing DNS or using VPN.
And actually, there is no real physical casino in my country, all these "casinos" have just slots machines.
2. Offcourse yes, especially if physical gambling is allowed in that country, I don't see any reasons why they shouldn't allow it online. But in my country, I don't expect any changes because physical betting/gambling isn't popular anymore, everything is online for long time already.
3. New crypto gambling websites opens every month. But almost all these websites is registered somewhere in offshore country to avoid taxes and regulations. It's their main difference from fiat sportsbooks. It would be interesting to see major fiat sportsbook starting to accept crypto...

@LTU_btc is there any chance that I can get to watch a replay of the above mentioned race, as I totally missed seeing it and since you have given such a rave review therefore now I’m very keen to watch it. Furthermore where’re they showing those virtual races, and should I even bother seeing those races or no?.
I think you can watch replay on IndyCar Youtube channel:
https://youtu.be/njQCaPXIOnA
Usually these virtual races is broadcasted on Youtube, Facebook and Twitch channels of racing series.
Well, it doesn't replace real racing, but for me it's quite fun to watch.

E-Sport Indy race with many pro drivers will start in 18 minutes if you are interest, since this is an "official" race you should be able to bet somewhere.

https://www.twitch.tv/landonorris


The race will be in Indianapolis
It was great race to watch with drama until last lap. And on last lap there was some wtf crazy crashes which resulted unexpected winners. Lando Norris was one of leaders, but he had accident on last laps. But I don't understand why there was no yellow flags qnd safety car after all these accidents.
On Sunday there will be virtual F1 and F2 races, but for me it's least exciting of all these virtual racing series.

What about 1337420, 133769? Those are pretty cool numbers too.

Maybe I don't understand something, but why these numbers are special? I tried to Google it, but didn't found nothing interesting Cheesy.

1337420, 133769

Something as "leet" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5162637.0
Oh, thanks, couldn't have thought about it. 420 and 69 in these numbers have another meaning Cheesy.

Mixed feelings about this. Now we see Japan reopened and in China too, second wave is hitting hard and making everyone else think twice. I love my football and want to see everything restart again but my team especially now will be hit hard so I'm not sure they're the best to come out of this. And then if second wave hits, we'll be forced for sure to just cancel everything.
I'm not sure where did you got news about second wave in China. Number of new COVID-19 cases daily in China is very little and stable and most of these infected people actually arrived to China from other countries:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/
It's very likely that second wave will hit in autumn. But I'm not really sure that we can keep everything closed for years and it's not only about football, but about all things in general. Virus won't simply gone one day and probably we will have to live with it. We will have to return to normal life one day. Even if vaccine will be made, question how effective it will be. Look at flu vaccine, every year they have to make new vaccine, because old simply doesn't work anymore.
Ins Spain, Italy, people return to work slowly, despite risks. I think it's just not possible that football leagues to wait until it will be completely safe to play.

4987  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is it promote scam by asking questions with scam website? on: April 30, 2020, 11:26:37 PM
It's quite old and popular scheme to promote scammy websites. Newbie accounts ask such questions about obvious scams - cloud mining, ponzi schemes, fake stores and etc. Usually they post in popular boards like Bitcoin Discussion, Beginners & help, marketplace to get more visibility. If they would post in appropriate board - investor based games, then nobody will not see their website and it will be more difficult to attract victims.
But there is no way to prove that author of topic related with that website. It still can be legitimate newbie asking questions. Any way, I'm not sure what can be done in such cases. These accounts is throwaway and no longer used after that post. Tagging them probably wouldn't help much.

We’ll see how Germany’s Bundesliga gets on first I guess as they return first, they’re already training. I think money is probably behind the big leagues going back to play but it is what it is. Fit, young footballers are very unlikely to get seriously ill, it’s mostly older people who get badly ill.
Bundesliga delayed their return decision. They won't return  in action on 9th May and decision will be made on 6th May:
https://www.goal.com/en/news/bundesliga-return-decision-delayed-coronavirus-angela-merkel/17runzge6t6l516kcz6yq7e4tg
There is only few leagues which announced return dates. Switzerland will resume season on 8th June, Czech Republic 25th May, Poland 29th May.
IMO, it's not worth to expect that EPL will return earlier than July. These countries which planning to continue season don't have many new virus cases and already lifting some quarantine restrictions. While in England situation is still one of worst in Europe.
4989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Looking into the Abyss - The Financial Struggle of Sport Teams amid Covid-19 on: April 30, 2020, 10:41:50 PM

There are still daily flights to and from USA in Frankfurt:

I could also see the different teams chartering a plane in a joint venture and bring back their players - plus some cargo maybe to lower the costs Grin But then again, these players need to go into quarantine first, can't train etc. So this is all but easy.
I may be wrong, but these planes are flying empty in order not to lose their places in airports:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/nymag.com/intelligencer/amp/2020/04/heres-why-so-many-planes-are-still-flying-nearly-empty.html
Now most countries have closed borders, so travelling is impossible. And when it will be opened, it will be difficult to collect players from different parts of USA with limited flights. And then as you say, they would have to spend 14 days in quarantine after that.
Quite many players like Mike James from CSKA said that they are against resuming season. So, some teams probably will have to play without full squad.

Iirc there was some football club from Slovakia that declared bankruptcy, but other than that, everyone is still hanging on.
Club from Slovakia announced about liquidation because players didn't agreed to cut of wages. But if I understand correct, this club will continue to play, probably with youth squad. It's something similar what Rangers Glasgow did few years ago.

How is Zalgiris doing ?
Probably not good. This season they had record €12 million budget, but now every day they are loosing money and will have to pay at least 80% of contracts to players if season will not continue.
They are playing most games in sold-out 15k people arena and money from tickets is almost 40% of their budget. So, playing without fans would hurt them badly.
4990  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't even think about begging for merit in private messages on: April 29, 2020, 10:49:52 PM
I got such PM's multiple times. I'm not really sure why people think that's good idea to beg merits in PM. Do they really expect to get it in such way?
It's just a way how NOT to get merit. It's more likely to get banned or get red trust. Though, personally, I newer bothered to report such accounts. It's just not worth to waste time for such accounts.
4991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Looking into the Abyss - The Financial Struggle of Sport Teams amid Covid-19 on: April 29, 2020, 10:33:09 PM
Some big European leagues already ended season, but there is still many who are planning to continue, like German, Spanish or Euroleague. But I'm not really sure hoe they are going to continue season. Most American players returned to USA and theywon't get back to finnish season. First off all, simply there is no flights right now. So, if season will continue, I think we will see extremely low level of basketball.
Football will survive this crisis somehow, they get huge money from TV. But other sports like basketball, volleyball or hanball will be hitted hard. They heavy depends on ticket sales and sponsors money. Many sponsors won't afford to pay as much money as they paid before crisis. And playing without spectators is another source of income lost. I read that budgets of basketball teams can decrease by 50% next season. Some teams won't survive this. And in general, team sports other than football isn't profitable, especially basketball. Clubs spend a lot money, but they don't get much income. So, this crisis makes their situation even worse.

For me it feels like Chipmixer campaign is here for ages already. But it just for 3 years on Bitcointalk. Word "just" is right in this case because there was plenty of longer running campaigns.
I'm surprised to see such small number of participants who are in campaign since first rounds until now. Considering that's highest paid campaign, probably not many of them left campaign themselves. Probably they got removed for inactivity and other reasons.

Before I saw your question, I never heard about such thing. Without making any research about it, I would predict that's just another scammy Bitcoin fork. But seems that's different thing. Seems that's just another shitcoin token. Using word Bitcoin in name of tokens show how desperate creators of this project want to attract attention...
4994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA : Complete Domestic Competitions! on: April 28, 2020, 10:46:40 PM
French Footbal Federation has just announced Ligue 1 also canceled for this year like Eredivise.
I am expecting same decision for Seria A, La Liga and Premier League actually.

Probably, Bundesliga will be completed this summer.
It's sad to see such news. Interesting how it will affect teams which still compete in UEFA cups, like Lyon or PSG. Probably remaining matches of Champions league will be played somewhere on neutral pitch, so they would be allowed to play.
I think that this scenario is possible in your mentioned countries, but I read that teams may be allowed to back on training soon.
AakZaki, AFAIK, UEFA makes such payments to federations every year, it's used for football development, infrastructure improvement, but this year federations will be allowed to use this money to support clubs which were affected by this crisis.
4995  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: I am building a Wikipedia for Bitcointalk Heroes on: April 28, 2020, 10:32:53 PM
OP, I don't want to be sceptical, but I think your idea will not work. Wikipedia is very strict for articles related with Bitcointalk because it's considered as not credible source. So, even if you will publish article, it may get deleted. Only few members of Bitcointalk have Satoshi, Hal Finney and few others have Wiki page, but they didn't got it for contribution on Bitcointalk, they got it for Bitcoin development. Even theymos don't have Wiki page.
But maybe it can be done on en.bitcoin.it wiki page...

You should have read the post further. He didn't say he was going to be adding these pages to Wikipedia, he mentioned MediaWiki which is the Open Source software Wikipedia runs off of. He would essentially be creating his own Wikipedia for this purpose, just like the Bitcoin Wikis did.
Oh, I missunderstood his post, thanks for clarifying it. Well, building own wiki from scratch is a lot work. It's not only about creating content for it. Good promotion of such website also would be needed that people would find this content. So, if it's possible, I think it would be best to use popular platform which is available already, like Bitcoin Wiki.
4996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BitcoinNews.com's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: April 28, 2020, 10:21:39 PM
EPL is planning to continue season, but what if government simply won't allow to do that? French and Netherlands leagues also planned it, but their government decision forced them to end season at current phase. And situation in this countries looks much better than in UK. Meanwhile in UK number of new cases still aren't getting smaller. I'm afraid that such scenario as we saw in France and Netherlands is possible.

Why you think that's difficult to find tracks for reverse races?
Because I tried to find information about such tracks and didn't managed to do it. Only found this article, but it requires paid subscription to read it:
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/reverse-track-layouts-analysis-silverstone/4777399/
I think that most current tracks would be unsafe to use in reverse because they don't have things like safety zones or run-offs if some accident will happen.
