Got delayed on withdrawal today...such a weekend... Cry Cry
Not sure if you all read the replies made in this thread, because if you would then you would notice that other players like you have stated that FJ is understaffed on weekends. Since they have the policy of checking every withdraw manually, it gets delayed. Wait till Monday midday, but if it still gets delayed contact FJ staff here.
Shouldn't that be resolved by now? I mean I don't know how much fortunejack makes from this company and maybe they are not really making too much profit, however they have been around for years now, shouldn't they be making enough money to have more staff at weekends? How many withdrawal requests could there be in one weekend?

Considering they now have betting option as well the weekends could be bigger as well but I think if they are doing something new and still making profit, they should hire more staff as well, that way there won't be a difference between weekends and weekdays. It is not a big deal, just hire part-timers for weekends, even if you get like 5 of them for just weekends that should not be a big cost to fortunejack neither, they are making bank from gambling after all.
It is a matter of just how important it is. I mean this is a gambling place more than a sportsbook, so I am not entirely sure if all departments work together perfectly, maybe one thing is more smoother than the other so I doubt the sportsbook addition had any changes in the shape of the company, maybe they had few more people working on that but in general they must be the same company as always.

They have basically built a system where they are slower on weekends and people got used to it, the ones who are not used to it usually ends up learning about it, some people dislike that and leave, some people don't mind that and just withdraw on weekdays and they just accept the fact and move on I guess. Hence, it is not really something that needs a change ASAP.

Preseason has been a bit weird for the NBA, I think I will wait until the regular season starts, even the regular season doesn't really feel like it worth anything until this year because most teams are coasting and others are tanking, the good ones know they will win because bad ones are trying to lose and tanking, so good ones don't have to work hard and sometimes that causes them the game and all that, nobody goes out there and play 100% anymore, not in NBA, it is scaringly getting closer to Harlem versus Generals every year.

But, thankfully this year teams are more equal in talent now, at least 6-8 teams are actually close to each other and that means the regular season will be a bit more fierce, I don't know how hard they will play but being on a top seed will worth a ton.

Skill based games are not really that much easy in any case anyway, no skill based game can be mastered under a minute, however there is a huge difference between mastering something like that and also keeping the bots away. I have literally seen poker bots that doesn't even do that much stuff other than commands it's given, like fold when it has a bad hand, check when it has a decent hand, call or raise when it has super hands etc etc.

It means it really doesn't mean much for human players who can't even bluff because it is literally a bot they are playing against. So a developers job becomes to make sure players can't play something as simple as dice but also won't be playing against bots who would destroy them in almost every turn unless they are masters of the game.

It will not affect in any way positive or negative.It will be not really crypto but rather digital Yuan
One of the main cryptocurrency condition is decentralization .Crypto has not be issued and owned whatever way.Even ico tokens are not real crypto
It is good move from China fastest and cheapest transaction will benefit his trading
You are very much close to the truth here mate, most altcoins that you see are not true representation of decentralization, and the only true decentralize coin that we see is the bitcoin itself as there is no ownership of it, but you see most of these countries that are working on their own cryptocurrency, they are typically just creating a digital version of their coin, which will never operate the way that bitcoin operates, so even if they create their own coin, people will still use it and then still use bitcoin too.

Bitcoin may not be an agreed global currency, but it will take the position of being a global currency within us because that is what majority of us will actually be using more for many of our transaction than any of the cryptocurrency coin they might claim to produce.

Different charts,different views and different explanation,so yeah we need to move to the next prediction of halving from BAKKT launch since it was failed until now.Everyone guess that the real bull market will start after the few months of halving so I too agree that until every investors have chance to buy bitcoins.
Lol. I wonder why we predict without actually getting the right fact, when bakkt was about to be released, I actually sat down to relate the operation of bakkt to bitcoin and I really don’t see much correlation between both, bakkt expectation to make bitcoin surge is just like us expecting that an exchange release will make the value of bitcoin go up.

What will naturally make the value of bitcoin shoot up is either we get a particular encouraging factor that will make people come at the same time to invest which they usually call investment out of FOMO, or we have some financial institutions with billions of dollars that saw the need to use the cryptocurrency market and then put in such money. What should have naturally be increasing the price of bitcoin is not functioning very well because we don’t use it which is for us to make payments among ourselves.
5026  Economy / Economics / Re: Paper Bitcoin eth, ltc and others on: October 04, 2019, 05:29:55 PM
Also, at what point a person would want a paper currency over a digital one if they can use both? Imagine a world where your phone is your wallet and you are capable of paying anything with your phone (QR Codes made this possible but it is still not common) and you have paper currency as well and also cards you can pay. Which one would you prefer?

Even right now most of the transactions are via cards instead of paper in fiat currency and you are talking about a digital currency in itself, so when people are not even using fiat which is in default a paper money in paper form why would they use a digital one by printing their own? It is just not making any sense in preference.

If you asked if people should have bitcoin debit cards that would have been a good question but paper makes no sense.

Gambling is technically something that should make you lose money, that is the whole premise of gambling with house edge, house literally has an edge. So, when you get a "loan" or whatever you want to call it and gamble you are literally just losing money that you don't have, it makes no sense. Loans are suppose to be for something you need or something you think you can make more than the interest rate, a business man can get a loan and expand his business and make more money, which would make sense.

However, if you are going to just burn cash with a lighter than you wouldn't get a loan with it, gambling is about the same logic, the difference is gambling is fun, you should be doing it to have fun, if you feel sad or not entertained then you are just losing money which makes no sense.
Maybe there are people who get money from other people gamble with it and not pay it back. There was a dude in my language section who actually got money from a lot of people, dude convinced people that he figured out a way to make a profit if he had big enough bankroll and people really believed him because he actually made some profits for a long time, in gambling you can make a profit as long as you want but in the end it will always end up being a loss.

Now, he didn't "borrowed" money because those were investors and they took the risk but of course as you can imagine his strategy wasn't sustainable because of the house edge and he eventually lost it all and that is when the investors realized the only time you can make money investing into gambling is when you bankroll the house.
5028  Economy / Gambling / Re: WOLF.BET - Provably fair dice game $1,000 Daily Race7-day streak bonus on: October 04, 2019, 03:01:07 PM
However, wolf.bet is brand new already, they don't need to make a new website, they can rebrand themselves as a "not just a dice site" with their current name, I don't get why people think that having a dice in your name must mean you are purely a dice website, there are a ton of websites with weird names that go for only slots for example and that doesn't mean they can't have any other game, they just don't want to.

Wolf.bet has a good name with no dice in it and no nothing so they could just put any game and not worry about the situation of people thinking they are just a dice game website neither. So, it works out great for them

Well, it is not quite our business anyway

So we can only speculate here. As I see it, there is a certain window of, say, a couple of years when adding new games wouldn't hurt the image of the site. But after this window is closed, it might be better to keep things as they are. It doesn't actually have anything to do with the name itself (i.e. whether it has the word dice in it) but rather with the public perception of the casino that will be firmly established by that time
I disagree, I think it is exactly the opposite, this is why running a casino is such a hard task. If they improve their website for years then we should be expecting them to keep improving their websites, if they want to change something they should do it right now so we don't get too comfortable with it.

That is why I think having a website for few years where you add a new game every 6-8 months means you need to keep doing that, because people would eventually grow tired of your website and will want to visit other websites if you do not provide something new to them, however if you keep making new stuff all the time people would wait for the new stuff as well. There are games (pc games) literally out for almost 20 years that still gets attention because they provide new stuff all the time.
5029  Economy / Speculation / Re: Strength of Bitcoin on: October 04, 2019, 11:23:02 AM
The major difference between bitcoin and fiat currency is decentralization. Fiat money is issued and controlled by the government while the bitcoin is fully decentralized, free from government control.
And that same reason why governments are holding the fact that crypto is helpful but they hinder the adoption because not like fiat the have full control while in crypto they dont(but there are some centralized as well that they can hold in necks)
The basic reason why government are still so skeptical about cryptocurrency and may never go against it fully is because it has lifted lots of burden away from them, people now see cryptocurrency as something that could create job for them which indeed created job for a lot of people and you cannot imagine the amount of burden that this has taken away from the government and through this also, government is still able to generate more revenue through tax on trades via cryptocurrency.

Government would rather just prefer to accept it that way than to accept it as currency which is why they don't want to give in to regulation yet because once they do, it will send a strong signal that it has been accepted by them as currency of the world which they don’t want any system that they cannot control.
5030  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bakkt on: October 04, 2019, 08:39:04 AM
To anyone who bought into the hype around $10k I wouldn't panic though. Remember those who bought into the bearish conditions of 2018 at $6k?
They are doing just fine now and if anything are waiting to double down on their positions Smiley
I would not even see their decision to have bought around $10k as mistake, no one really could see this dip coming and this dip is something that many of us are already used to, we know that there are times where bitcoin would want to make some corrective moves and these are part of the risk that we talk of in cryptocurrency investment which we must have built our minds towards, which should help us not to panic once our mindset is built towards this.

The price will surely bounce back to the $10k and the only regret I think that we can have is that we could not put money at the $10k to make some little cash when the price goes back to $10k, but that is for trader, for long term investors, there should be no regrets as the price will be far higher than even $20k in future.
5031  Economy / Speculation / Re: Down below $9k! Buy the dip now? on: October 03, 2019, 04:13:45 PM
There is good resistance at the price $8000, once it gets broken surely we'll experience the price touch $7000. As the price has moved above $8200 over the past two days we can expect the growth to happen in a gradual manner than falling back over the falling weeks. If the plan is to invest and do trading, it is the right time. If the plan is for long term holding then just have patience there is more chance fall in the price below $8000.
This current opportunity will really be an opportunity that will be blown away if we really don't take the opportunity to quickly rush and buy It now, anytime we see a dip like this, I think it is a chance that is just being given to accumulate more before the price recovers again.

I really don't think I see the price dipping down to $7k again because from what I can study from the little analysis that I have made, I think that we are already heading for full recovery as we might continue to grow henceforth as against the value declining any further, I think that the last decline for this year is what we have presently seen right now and as from this month, we may be growing gradually now till we end the year at the $15k that majority of us has predicted.

For some reason, everyone is talking about some strategies, but no one can give an example of at least one, with which you can get income on the cryptocurrency market from trading.  I have repeatedly been convinced that any statement, especially for traders, always carries well-known information.  Therefore, I came to the conclusion that trading is very personal for everyone and for newcomers like me I will have to learn for myself.
I am not sure that strategies are what can be learned, I think one have to actually personally develop the strategy that one uses to trade which I think only comes after learning so much about trading already. I have come across so many people also advising people of always having their own strategy and no one really has shared any.

One thing that I just believe is that the moment we have the thorough knowledge about trading which is the first thing that we have to go for first, then developing strong skill and strategy should really not be much of a difficult thing, it should naturally come to one, as one gets deeper in trading, but before strategy can be visible, one must have even done lots of practices in the market for one to really say this is the main strategy that works.
5033  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 Reasons why I am buying Bitcoin!! on: October 03, 2019, 01:42:09 PM
those are the reasons people can see it and its advantages. But how about decentralization and no one manages or develops bitcoin?
Don't you doubt that someday its value will be zero when the economy no longer wants to use bitcoin as the main tool in trading?
I do not think that there is anything that will ever make the community to stop using bitcoin to trade as we are just even in adoption stage, and because of its decentralization, people will always embrace it which bitcoin is even still the best decentralized coin that we have.

The population of people that are yet to get exposed to the use of bitcoin is still very much and as time goes by, the community of bitcoin will continue to enlarge, and with this present community, it is even still very much to sustain bitcoin for so many years to come, so mate, It will be very hard for bitcoin to ever zero, even if 60% of the holders dumps the coin, there will always be new set of people that will embrace the price at any time of the day. Never need to worry on bitcoin prices as already too high like that.
5034  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you need to become a successful trader? on: October 03, 2019, 05:11:17 AM
Its easy to be a trader but its hard to be a succesfull trader itself because there is no perfect trader in this world. However you can reduce the risk if you are prepared and have a huge knowledge about trading specialy in cryptocurrencies. The one this you should do is patience because if you dont have that your just losing your investments.
Being a successful trader is not a hard thing, it is  lack of discipline that makes many traders fail, everything has a rule for success and if we can master the rule first, then we are good to go, what I have seen with people is that they like to jump the gun a lot, they don’t master the rule first and then go into trading, it is just like bitcoin talk, if you don't study the rules first and then keep them at heart, there is absolutely no way that we cannot make mistakes that will make the forum team to ban us, but if we adhere with the policies, we will find ourselves remain in the forum for year.

For one to become successful, one must have the right knowledge like you said, use the right platform, avoid being greedy and take cognizance of other rules of it.
5035  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a search term, ranked by countries. Nigeria, South Africa, Austria on: October 03, 2019, 04:21:34 AM
Venezuela might actually be more engaged with cryptocurrency than Nigeria but when it comes to population, you know that Nigeria and Venezuela are not the same and they cannot be compared, there will definitely me more search of cryptocurrency from Nigeria than Venezuela because they have more people, but in term of usage, I think I give it up to Venezuela for their government to have even gotten to the extent of creating their own Petro coin.

I am not still surprised about Nigeria's statistics though, because when it comes to investment, I know that Nigeria's likes to invest a lot and that is why you see the that the most victim of these MMM ponzi scheme then was Nigeria first. so, for people who thinks Africans are not much in crypto, they can now see this for themselves.
5036  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should move to BTC? on: October 02, 2019, 06:08:50 PM
If in your portfolio is predominantly XRP, then you have studied this project and believe in its future. If Bitcoin has risen in price, but your coin is not, then just now is not her time. However, this does not mean that you need to sell all XRP coins and buy more expensive Bitcoin. This is called haphazard trading, which often leads to losses. You should hold your coin and just wait for its time. A successful investor is someone who knows how to wait.
I bet to disagree with you brother, how can you advise someone against selling of ripple to bitcoin when you know that ripple has no future again to me when it comes to investment, they might be quite ok for usage but not for investment or to be held as an asset, so it would just be like a waste of time for anyone to be tying investment down in ripple.

I would rather prefer to buy that expensive coin that I am sure will still give me some profit in future than to but ripple, which I know that bitcoin is still very cheap to purchase right now compared to what the value will be in the future. Aside the value of it, when it comes to investment guarantee and investment that you can be sure of still having for decades, I think that it is only bitcoin that is qualified for it so I see no reason why he should not sell to bitcoin.
5037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The difference between Bitcoin and Facebook's Libra on: October 02, 2019, 05:15:59 PM
Its funny how people can easy make comparison between Bitcoin and a coin that hasn't been listed or made available for people to use.  Libra is just a stablecoin version of Ripple since both kinda have similar ideology.  I think its a bad idea to compare Bitcoin to Facebook's Libra.
The same way that bitcoin was never intended to replace the fiat system of the government is the same way that I think Facebook never created Libra coin to replace bitcoin many of us can even see that many times the team behind the Libra coin has openly declared support for bitcoin which they believe that the Facebook Libra coin will only tend to facilitate the adoption of cryptocurrency, of which the use of bitcoin will be number one priority for many people.

Like you said, the Libra coin is a stable coin and can only function as utility token, while bitcoin encompasses of everything, both utility token, investment token and as a full decentralized coin while the said Libra coin can never ever be created in a decentralized manner that people want.

I am not entirely sure if withdrawal process is like number one request from a casino, it is almost always the same among all casinos and if not the ones that are more expensive of slower usually try to get faster and cheaper without customers saying anything because they want to be in the competition and not lose customers.

I think more games and more currencies and stuff like that are more common. For some reason, some websites make a ton of casino games like 100+ different slots only and then plenty other games so forth, and some websites stay with 1-5 games instead, don't know why there is no place with like 10-20 games and that's it. It is actually a great feeling to be able to choose whatever game you want and not have to switch websites so if I wanted something it would be more games.
5039  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: October 02, 2019, 06:29:01 AM
We need to really consider what is considered a "house edge" at freebitcoin.

In any other place when you gamble there is only winning and losing, so on average if you lose 1% then that is fine because that is the house edge and you are done with the casino when you stop betting. Now we all know freebitcoin has a HUGE looking house edge and people think that you will lose that much and all but people are forgetting one eternal truth that you do not only gamble here. That is not what you do when you just bet, when you place a bet, you can win or lose you will still get ; lottery tickets + lambo tickets + reward points + if you came here from an affiliate someone making profits thanks to you.

So, all in all you are always in a contest here, you may not like the 5% but if you gamble big enough you get free stuff from rewards and have a chance to win thousands of dollars from lotteries.

@2double0

You will get your free 6mbtc bet within 48 hours after your other bet is settled (you will receive a notification) and you will have 2 days to wager on any market with 1.5 odds or higher, otherwise it will expire.

You can check the full terms & conditions page here:
https://sportsbet.io/promotions/welcome-offer-mb-30

Also check their FAQ page, especially section 35 - How can I use my free bet and how much do I keep?
https://sportsbet.io/support/faq

Just so you know, your free 6mbtc bet is calculated as follows: 6mbtc x odds - stake

eg. mɃ 10 free bet, odds 1.70. If you win, the ticket win is 17.00 the stake is removed, and you have mɃ 7 winnings
It is not free money to our wallet I suppose? Like lets say I have 50 mbit, met about 40 mbit for tonight's games for 3 of them and if 1 is wrong I normally should have 10 mbit left but you will have 1mbit returned so I will have 11mbit and than just lets say withdraw all of it, that is not the case right?

I will just have 1mbit to go bet some more. Can I add that on another bet as well, like lets say I have 1mbit for tomorrow but I want to bet 20 mbit so can I put my own 19mbit and get your 1 mbit with it and make it 20? Or do I have to bet that 1 mbit as a standalone game? If I bet that all by itself (or add it to my own bet) and just win, will I get to withdraw that? Or how many rollovers do you need for us to be able to withdraw that. I know it is a small number but I wanted to know the details.
