My worst hobby is definitely smoking. I am trying to cut back as much as possible since the pandemic got so worse.. My second big habit is procrastination, I tend to do the very important tasks at the last minute. Without real pressure I just keep pushing things to a later time.

^  Joey Ingram will prolly stream it straight from his YT channel.

Anyway...  Old school live pros are backing Dnegs.  I heard Helmuth is looking for action for 20k for something like 5 to 1.  Matusow is betting 10k.
5 for Dneg? Dang people must be taking Dneg lightly

punters on pokershares have been consistently pricing him above 5, usually closer to 6. https://www.pokershares.com/market/poker/c0baedd8-236b-4bd5-884d-ee1926743070

i dunno any other site offering odds, and they don't allow us muricans on pokershares. Sad

i still want 5 to 1 on DN myself, if someone will take the other side of the bet....

If you find someone offering you that trade I would take a piece too. Team Daniel all they way.

I wish they would fix the laws in America so we can have all the poker players on the same platforms and people from the states wouldn't have to move to Canada or another country.

Well Britain used to own Calais, and i think we should reclaim that. That would help to solve our economic migrant influx.

Sure, but are you ready to give up the South of your islands to the Italians since they owned it too? Luckily Adrian's wall is still around, just need to renovate it.

These Argumentations about who owned it in the past are just wrong. Only viable solution would be to make a referendum and let the people choose you actually live in that area, not some politicians on a drawing board.
5004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Help me by giving some ideas of blackjack tournaments on: October 30, 2020, 09:45:16 AM
Hey all, hope you are doing well. As I said in title I need some ideas of about how to build a blackjack tournaments? To make it easy I have to say that I am talking about blackjack.fun which is a cool and simple site with only blackjack game. First they have only single player table and recently they have launched a multiplayer feature. where people can create table manually and can play with their friends in one table (max 7). Now give me some ideas actually How it is possible to create a blackjack tournaments? Is it possible?

Please feel free to post your ideas to help. And skip it if you don't have any ideas about it means don't make unnecessary posts. thanks in advance.

I love BlackJack, this could be very interesting. The thing with BlackJack is that you play against the casino not against other people, so a direct tournament format with Player vs Player setup seems hard here. You could make an indirect format where everyone pays in with a flat fee and get a certain amount of chips for that. Than you put multiple people at one table and let them play. The winner of each table (the one with the highest winnings) should take all the winnings of the table and the other players are eliminated. In the second stage you could then let all the winners play against each other again. This could keep going on until you have only one table left and the guy with the highest winnings on that table gets all the chips and wins.

The report says governments must work together to avoid future pandemics, and must swiftly contain outbreaks.

Please, are the governments ready enough to prevent upcoming pandemics? I do not think so, governments only belive more in pharmaceutical industries to produce them cure, when they know prevention is better than cure.



We are still in the middle of the current corona pandemic. The second wave is hitting havoc around the world and many countries are considering a second lock down. I don't understand why people should be worry right now about future pandemics. We need to fight and contain the current one first before thinking about the future. I agree that right now most countries are hoping for a pharmaceutical solution to this crisis.
5006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Crypto Poker Ecosystem on: October 30, 2020, 09:35:33 AM


Create a new poker room based on blockchain without rake and annonymous.

I developed lot of parts of the software:

- blockchain.
- gui wallet.
- poker interface.
- random number generator.

The idea is to create a collaborative rng, and every user contributing will be rewarded with some coins (depending of his contribution obviously). This will be the base of the room. The only accepted coin on the room will be our coin, that may be exchanged when listed.



This sounds very interesting. I would recommend make a Discord server instead of a Telegram group, or better do both. But with Discord you can connect much more people and it makes it easier to share things from your project.

One question I have is, why not include rake? You could just make a very small rake fee (much lower than the usual fees on poker rooms) and you still would be attractive to the big names.

Also, why not accept all kind of crypto coins? This would make it much easier for people to deposit money.
5007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cashless gaming now available in land-based casino in USA on: October 30, 2020, 09:25:47 AM

With the cashless wagering digital wallet now in place, will you be interested to go to Blue Chip Casino to experience its innovative digital payment system? Also, do you look forward to having more land-based casinos accept Bitcoin, and if they do, will you be inclined to go to these Bitcoin-accepting land-based casinos?


It's been almost 2 years since I was the last time in a physical casino in the States. I was hoping to go again in January next year, but with corona pandemic still on the rise, I don't think this is going to be possible. Cashless Casinos with digital wallets and accepting crypto currencies sound awesome. I would definitely go and check them out if it's allowed again to travel.

This is a well-known app and spyware-free with over 10 million downloads on google playstore with 40k reviews (3.8 ratings) I've been using this app for 2 years now and I decided to share I know you are more concerned about our security but this app is safe I always read reviews before installing apps on my phone. This is safe


When reading the article I was a bit scared to install a spy software on my phone. But with this many downloads and reviews it seems pretty legit. I will definitely give it a try. But to be honest I think the most deleted messages are just some spelling errors. Or what do you guys think?
5009  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin start Backing USA dollar on: October 30, 2020, 08:58:38 AM
The USA dollar need good backer.

The Bitcoin is perfect to backing Up USA dollar.
That Can Work like real fractional reserve.
I think 2021 year the dollar Will be backed by BTC

How exactly should Bitcoins be backing the USD? I don't think Bitcoin investors are interested in such a trade. Most of us here went into cryptos to escape the FIAT trap, backing the USD now would be like going backwards. The USD is fairly important is likely to be as such in the near future. But I do hope that Bitcoins remains an alternative to FIAT and USD in particular. I hope this is not happening. 
5010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If btc > $150k, will you still gamble it? on: October 30, 2020, 08:37:23 AM
After so much positive speculation, optimism in markets, accumulation by institutional investors, too many analysts predicting a new ATH for btc, let's say if everything goes good and btc reaches extremely high price, will you still gamble it? Or will you 'be able' to gamble it? Won't the fees distract you from using it in gambling?

Take the poll and share your opinion.

Such a high bitcoin price would be awesome for us incestors. If the volatility remains low in bitcoins I don't see a reason why it should affect the our gambling habits too much. Most of us are used to gamble with satoshis. If bitcoins become so expensive it will just be more of fractions of satoshis we will play with. In the end casinos will adapt and offer more nano gambling.

A good magic show is a lot of fun and very entertaining to watch and definitely makes the mind go crazy, because you don't normally know how the trick is done. But we all know that magic is not real, there is always a simple explanation for the tricks. As a kid I used to love to watch the Magic Show of the Masked Magician: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed. He could explain almost every Magic Trick.

Justifies 'banning such behaviour' on the internets which, of course, requires a framework to do so.  Who could have imagined?



As always the US makes more enemies with their actions in the long run. I agree we need tougher laws in the west to regulate propaganda on the internet. But people are so scared of the police and to give up freedom when being online. Almost everyone has a mobile phone and access to the internet these days. We need a tradeoff between being independent and have freedom online to being able to prosecute the people who post hateful things online. There should be a real punishment for these people.
5013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin price rise affect your gameplay? on: October 29, 2020, 08:44:45 AM

Has it affected your gameplay somehow?

Some gamblers think if the price is so expensive it would be difficult to get profits.


For me the rise in bitcoins definitely made a difference in gambling. In the beginning I used mainly bitcoins to deposit money at online casinos. But since the price is so high now, I tend to deposit with FIAT money instead. And when I withdraw I usually withdraw with bitcoins. So gambling became another way for me to switch FIAT money into cryptos. In general a bitcoin rise shouldn't change our approach to gambling, we can still make profits.
5014  Other / Off-topic / Re: Online Shopping on: October 29, 2020, 08:38:17 AM
So you should be careful with prices because the same product get different rates from different sellers.
Right, thats why I go for seller with high ratings and good reviews based on customer's experience with their product.

If you have lots of money then price tags wont be an issue. However for wise buyers its a must to check and compare the price to other same items to get discount but with same quality.

Reviews are usually also my criteria to decide from which seller I am going to buy online. But the thing I keep noticing with online reviews is that, they can't all be legit. For example on Ebay, I rarely a see a seller with less than 95% rating. How can it be that almost all of the reviews and comments people leave for sellers are positive?
5015  Economy / Economics / Re: Crisis will be new normal but its not bad on: October 29, 2020, 08:27:25 AM
I have read some where people not talk of great reset and this seems like those that believe in the Jubilee conspiracy theory are goig to be right, I have watch videos on Youtube highlighting how these Jubilee thing is coming, and I thing Year 2020 is going to bring it to pass, these is no way the world can survive these high level of Debt, Debt is increasing but low productivity because people prefer to invest in Stock market for quick gains than invest into a real business.


I hope the high debt levels will just normalise in the years to come. It seems we are very close to a vaccine at the moment. If such a vaccine can be mass produced at the beginning of 2021 we could see a return to the old normal next year. Once the corona virus is contained I am pretty sure we will see very high growth in the near future.
5016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: October 28, 2020, 08:54:44 PM

So my question is whether you prefer multi bets to single bets and whether you find multi bets significantly more risky than single bets.


In my opinion multi bets are much more risky than single bets, because you combine multiple bets into one. Sometimes when I am really sure about the some games I combine a few bets for higher payouts, but in general I try to stick to single bets. Personally I prefer winning more often with lower payouts. When I started with sports betting I used multi bets much more often than these days. One good way to use mutli bets is when taking part in some giveaways where there is a minimum odds of 2 or higher required. So combining many low risk bets into one can make it eligible for free bets while still having a good chance of winning.
5017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Welcome Bonuses Without Restrictions ... fun or test. on: October 28, 2020, 10:57:15 AM
Welcome bonuses are great way to try out new casino websites and different games than our usual home games like dice or blackjack. For me it's been a while I came across fully unrestricted bonuses, because there are usually some fine prints in the TOS about withdrawing these bonuses. They might be without restrictions on the sense that you use it in any game you like but you are unable to withdraw winnings because there is either an minimum amount you need to reach before withdrawing or a number of bets you need to do before cashing out. This is absolutely fine because casinos can't afford to give away free money on a regular basis.
5018  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which is the best life? on: October 28, 2020, 10:43:09 AM
Which is the best life and why?  Huh

1. Childhood Cool
2. Married Grin
3. Unmarried Wink

Explain not mandatory here, just show your positive response.


In my opinion the childhood was the best life. Kids have a lot of spare time to play and meet friends and don't worry about problems. The only issue is that when we are younger we only think about growing up and all the things we are not allowed to do yet because of age restrictions. Later in life as married or unmarried you have to worry about so many things.
5019  Other / Politics & Society / Re: All Christian Countries Got Fucked! on: October 28, 2020, 10:30:22 AM
I don't know, if you go back a few hundred years the Muslims and catholics were fighting in Europe and the Middle East. In current times most western countries don't try to fight based on religions. There are usually more issues to war than just religion, I would argue the wars usually take place because of economic reasons.

In the Armenia-Azerbaijan it's actually not Armenia at war. It's an automous region within Azerbaijan than is inhabited by Armenian people. The land is international recognised as Azerbaijan. So if Armenia would actually be at war I am pretty sure there would be countries come and support them.

I would rephrase the statement like this: for the western nations, economic interests are more important than religious solidarity, while for the Muslims nations that is not the case. Anyway, no one can ignore a country such as Turkey, which is such an important economic power. Even Russia don't want to support Armenia (despite historical connections), because Turkey is a major trade partner for them. Recently Russia sold S-400 systems and other defense equipment to them, and also the Turkstream gas pipeline runs through Turkish territory.

But the problem is that Turkey and its proxies will keep chipping away territories from the Christians. After Armenia, the Azeri populated regions of Georgia will be the target. And after that the Russian Caucasus will be up in flames.

I agree with you that there is more community between Muslim countries than there is between Christian countries. Europe is a great example by that, the east and the west are so divided, there is no harmony or community between these countries.

The problem with Armenia is that the region they are fighting in is internationally recognized as Azerbaijan. It's a war not between the country of Armenia and Azerbaijan. If Azerbaijan would invade the land of Armenia that Russia would have to join the war, they still have defensive pact. And if Turkey would declare war on Armenia they would likely be kicked out of Nato.
5020  Economy / Economics / Re: rich people super rich are taking loans now why? what it means ? on: October 28, 2020, 10:24:47 AM
Why is being an issue and becoming questionable? Rich people are also like ordinary type of people taking up loans for a purpose and that is maybe to start up funding essential things that he find to make him more profitable and he just maybe not having enough money so to sustain and fill out such flaws, taking up loans is their way to resolve the problem. Actually taking up loans are not new at all for businesses are doing it also borrowing money from banks to fund the business so they can make use of it as a capital or for maintenance purposes of the business branch. Loaning money is just another strategic way to start up a business so rich people can also do it like ordinary people do. There is no exception on taking up loans as long as you have the capacity to pay for it.

I think issue here is that people want to copy what rich people are doing. They probably think that if they do the same things rich people are doing than they will become rich themselves. The problem here is that I can't be compared that easily. The super rich people usually own large parts of companies and use their money differently to the average man. The usual borrower from a bank uses the funds to buy a house or a new car, whereas the super rich use the loans to invest.
