I don't understand why the funds would go straight to the "service provider." Seems like they should go to a casino first who then later pays the provider for their services. Every other sportsbook I've ever heard of is in control of their own funds and pay expenses accordingly.

If they have multiple sportsbooks as clients, why would the service provider designate their Bitshares wallet name as "x1bit"? In Bitshares, wallets can be set up as "account names" which makes it easier to remember and know who you are sending funds to -- seems odd that they would set it up like that.

Perhaps I'm not getting everything...
I have shared my case studies which I had when I was interested to have my own sportsbook. They did not tell me clear cut everything but those were my picks from the entire experience. I was able to pick matches to add in the demo site and was able to do certain things as admin and it was looking like same as bet365 for me. After seeing all these I was convince that more or less all the bookies use some common source, some service providers. They (the bookies) really do not control the back end of the site.

There could be some error in my picks too. So please do not take my understanding as a fact or how this industry really works. We have some other sportsbook around us, may be them can tell us too how their business works (of course it's their choice if they want to engage with this discussions).

Now let's talk about the accused site here. There are few things I am also thinking such as like you said wallet name as "x1bit". << could be a poor setting for the customization?

We really need to hear the inputs from Kawbet, may be they need an English representative if language is an issue for them.

Yeah right, I'm having an incredible round and that's all thanks to going against everything I initially pickef, after the last round in which I performed woefully, missing every single game despite doing some research, I decided for this round that after doing my research I'll go against whichever team I feel has the better chance of winning, and it's very weird that it has paid off so far  Cheesy
This tournament is very unpredictable this could be because of the teams has equal strength I guess. It always feels good when you are earning points.

I'm watching the current match. It seems a difficult job for Lahore but they are making it more difficult by scoring slow. Come on the target is 188!

This is showing the trusts for default setting.

And the only neutral you are seeing is because of your personal trust setting. Not sure if I got you by the way.

It's time for me to reduce the distance  Cheesy
And what if Lahore Qalandars chase down whatever target Karachi Kings gives them and LQ wins if by having 3 - 5 wickets in hand? :-P

I will get more two points :-D

Honestly speaking, I have gone with some random picks as I do not have much time these days to watch the matches. I wish you good luck by the way.

I was not aware that Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United was over. Just checked the score and figured that it was a 9 over match and Multan Sultans won by 9 wickets which means another 1 point for me :-D

But we all have to admit that Harkorede is having a great round. So far he was able to manage 5 points. And it seems BitSat will also have 5 points once the system will update the result of Multan Sultans match.

I would like to shade some lights in here.
Few months ago I was looking to have a gambling site. Sports-bookies basically. I was wondering how all these sportsbooks offer very similar odds and also control the market like suspending the markets very quickly, how they synchronize it so smoothly and smartly?

Let's talk about suspending a market of a football match. Say there is a match between team A and B. And sportsbook X has this match, offering bets. Now for this match they need a dedicated operator in the back end who will do the inputs to update the results and if this is seconds late then bookies will lose money. So the best bet is to send someone in the ground and s/he will be well decorated with necessary devices. When a goal scores he/she will have to give the input in milliseconds so that market gets suspended and the users in the site can not take advantage of it.

Now imaging for bookie X, who has over few hundreds of matches everyday listed in their website, are they sending few hundreds experts in the every grounds, around the world? No. One can not just afford it.  

So question is, how these bookies do the job and run a business?

I was able to find a service provider. And from the talk what I learnt that all these bookies (Sportsbet, Bet365, Coral, William Hill and everyone else) probably has some service providers. The job of these providers are to give you the interface, the system. Using their API you will design your front end and such things but in the back end everything is the same.

The agent of the service provider who was in contact with me, gave me a demo script that was looking like exactly how bet365 works and they were saying this scrip will cost me $25k and I will have to give them 25% or something of the profits I make. Which means they have all the controls of the script what I do is that I get the frond end that will be provided to me and will do whatever I need to do to make the gambling site (mine) profitable for me.

This entire experience gave me the answer of thinking how all these bookies works together to sync in an event.

There are central service providers, the job of the service providers are to support with all the logistics and everything. Obviously they are the one who controls the industry.

It's like the way an air ticket booking system works or a hotel management system works. You take the data from the service providers and build up your own business.

In the case of Kawbet, I think this is the same happened. The service provider is in control of the money and using the reference, they are paying the bookies who are doing business using their API. In this case it seems Kawbet, 1xbet and some other bookies.

PS: I hope before tagging a business some of us need to know the experience I had when I was looking for a script/service provider. This is the reason for me not to support the flag and not to tag Kawbet yet.

I am not having a great round but I guess I am lucky once again. Peshawar Zalmi won by 7 runs (D/S). If they had to play the full over then chasing 95 runs might not be that easy.

Now I am not sure how superbru will score in this match since the result came from D/S?

Up next, Lohore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators. I am going with Quetta although they have lost last three matches.

Its quite obvious in this case that we are talking about the very same owners but - the fact that even the payee name is the same when depositing, thats what made me create that thread. Buying some script wouldnt automatically mean that even payment adresses are "similar". Wink

I also know several people who have been scammed by them and thats why something needs to be done about it...

You mean those QR codes pointing to the same addrsss? Like I said I am on my phone and if you confirm yes then this is really upsetting.

Quote
Edit: And guys, yeah, using some white label option bla bla bla - seriously, nobody would use EXACTLY but exactly the same shit lol, especially when its coming from proven scammers, lol.
There are people who don't not have any clue about what they do. So it's not a big deal for then if they don't know that they are following a scam site.

Anyway, can you please confirm the QR codes pointing to the same address?

Cheers

1xbet is one of the shadiest in the industry. I have a friend who lost money there. They edit their users balance without informing the users. My friend is rich enough that he did not bother for the money but of course he did not like it. I never used them to be honest though.

But apart from the same script, is there anything else that connects this accused site that this belongs to same group? Honestly speaking these days if you know the place to knock then you can get clone of any website. A little customisation will make it fully functional for you. What if the owner of the accused site have used the same script?

Before tagging them and supporting the flag I think we need a a solid connection. Sorry I am on my phone and really can not do much research.

Cheers,

~snip~
There is big chances that IPL can be cancel or postpone because of Corona Virus threat.

Gov and BCCI might have more clear position in this matter with in next week. So far BCCI following their usual routine of IPL preparation etc. Cancellation of complete tournament seems tough but i wouldn't be surprise if all matches are held in Empty stadium, better safe than sorry.
Empty stadium and IPL?
I don't think it's going to happen and say there are matches in empty stadium then how are they going to make money from all the investment they made ?

And this Corona virus thing, still they don't have any medications?

Damn!

Unexpected rain hurts again and we have abandon game one point each for both teams look like tomorrow game between Lahore and Quetta is also going to have same result because weather is still not good and rain will ruined this all so its really bad for Lahore as now they have very slim chance of recovery and Quetta is in good position but still strugging for qualifying next round.

I was watching few overs and was waiting for the rain to stop.

I guess I was picking up the wrong team coz MS were not batting well however Afridi was looking like the old Afridi. Anyway, the pitch was spin friendly so the result could go for anyone's favour.
5072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 06, 2020, 04:28:06 PM
It is the bowling quality of Zimbabwe that are encouraging the Bangladesh batsman to become attacking players and Tamim Iqbal is back in form with back to back centuries and Liton Das posting his highest ODI score in this match, there is no way Zimbabwe will be reaching close to the score posted and if the Bangladesh batsman can showcase the same confidence against better teams then it would be great Grin.
In recent times I think Bangladesh had bad experience against every team because of their batting department did not perform and on a sudden the unit has changed totally which was surprising too me. But now it make sense. So they are facing a weaker bowling unit.

The require rate of the match is now over 15 an over and there are still over 15 overs lefts. 2 wickets in hand so nothing much is going to happen for Zim team.

Whatewashed ?

Not expecting any wonders from the Zimbabwe side. They made a weak team if I compare them with Bangladesh team. I doubt if they will be able to win this match. Bangladesh has already won the series.
Just checked the score and it seems Bangladesh are cruising, 182 for no wickets and it's only 33.2 overs. In the 2nd ODI Bangladesh gave a target of 323 runs and Zimbabwe were very close to chase it down (318) so considering that, this cruising may not still safe if the total runs do not go over 320+.

Not sure if it's the pitch or the bowlers are bowling low quality in this series.

This rule has modified:
Quote
3. Posts in Altcoin boards, Archival, Games and Rounds, Investor Based Games, Micro Earnings, Politics and Society, and Off-topic will not count. For obvious reasons, posts in Ivory Tower and Serious discussion don't count as well. Posts in Local boards do count.

Posts in Archival should have never been counted and this was an oversight on my part. (thanks to Loyce for pointing it out!)
If for some reason you disagree with the rule change, please let me know.
Since there is a talk about it now so I thought to point it out.
Hopefully I did not miss this rule but there are no mention for Wall Observers topic. In there the signature is not visible which means posts in there should not be counted but since there are no mention about it, it means posts are there being considered or already in ignore?

You have your post count increased with only 10 posts but you have posted 12 posts during the week.
Most of the campaign managers count from the starting day of their weeks and I think it's the same here.

I lost all my under runs bets.
In this kind of innings where your team is not scoring much runs but one batsman who finds runs and change the run rate then under runs are surly are the losers. In face in cricket over under runs are kind of boring too. You don't get much higher odds. I prefer to go with falls of wickets and score boundary in over X
5078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk PSL T20 Pool and discussion. on: March 03, 2020, 09:59:34 PM
Looks like we are all going to lose today match if Quetta Gladiators doesn't chase well. Lahore surprised everyone by setting a target of 210 runs. Look like the Quetta Bowlers were thrashed by Ben Dunk and Samit Patel Sad Let's hope Quetta wins, so that we could get some points  Tongue
I was just exploring espn website and was seeing the scoreboard then I saw 4 sixs in a raw and in the next over 1 four and another six. I then realized the confidence of Quetta teams are not there. Finally when the score was 200+ then it was nearly confirmed that I was not going to get any points.

But when I logged in now in superbru and saw everyone was picking the same then I had nothing left but to laugh. So the point table is the same :-P

For tomorrow's match I have Lahore Qalandars.

With the sudden increase of suspected coronavirus cases in india, I doubt this tournament will happen. In just two day more than 6 new cases have been detected. Till yesterday it was two.

Source - https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/coronavirus-india-live-news-updates-3-covid-19-cases-from-delhi-hyderabad-jaipur-tested-positive/liveblog/74450246.cms
Did they found any vaccine yet for this virus? It's been a long time it started.
It's too risky now traveling internationally and the fear is strong. If this does not turn as disaster then may be we will see the series. The boards should be well aware about this.

Anyway, if the series indeed starts then we might see a one sided series? The current South Africa team is too weak for India.

Don't tell me that you are not betting nowadays and wasting all your predictions only in Pool?

My last 4 games out of 4 went down the drain... so i am glad i am not betting in PSL Grin

I don't mind if you share your pick for next 2 groups. i might copy all of them Tongue
The moment I speak about my bets in public I start losing, this could be some kind of superstition but I have felt it strongly in hundreds occasions lol

I will share my picks but please do your own research too coz as I said I am really not doing much research in my picks and I feel like this are just working and I may go massively wrong if the luck do not favour. I the last round accotding to superbru my result was above the community average lol
