If it is established that the player and the dealer colluded. Wouldn't that be considered fraud?

Who established that, the casino?

If so, they don't even need an investigation into the matter, as in this case they can be the law unto themselves as well as the law enforcement agency. If we are talking about legal institutions, though, the fact of collusion can only be established in the court of law after the plaintiff reveals all of their evidence to that effect and the judge finds this evidence convincing and sufficient
Here is one case in the Philippines wherein the card dealer was colluding with his friends and has raked a total of 5 million PHP or roughly $100K. They did some investigations, and then called NBI (local FBI) and the police made the arrest on the casino floor itself.

Nice, catch, just recently, I have seen this in Ebay: BTC/ETH contract in Ebay, looks very shady???. So by now it's obvious that Ebay has been taken advantage of scammers as well. Personally, I haven't heard of Ebay being used by crypto bad actors, but it seems I'm very wrong. Every platform that they can used as a tool to cheat/scam others, they will do it in a heartbeat.

5266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: VeChain to be used to verifiy authenticity of Nike Shoes on: June 29, 2020, 02:53:36 PM
Those guys behind VeChain are clearly on the right track. Using blockchain tech to incorporate it into our daily lives. That's adoption right there.
Imagine if Nike would take notice of this and officially partner up with them. Shocked For such a huge brand, if they do that, it would create a rippling effect ('cause we all know competitors don't want to get left behind  Roll Eyes)
Then, we might be able to see the blockchain tech being adopted by various brands in various industries.  Wink
And it will surely eliminate those fake shoes globally, which I think is the biggest problem that will be solved in this is going to be successful and Nike started to adopt it specially, with their high end shoes. And if you are a reseller or a buyer, you're not going to be suspicious and probably willing to pay huge amount if you yourself can authenticate it through blockchain.

Unlike today, wherein there are companies that supposedly an expert and authenticate it for you. But sometimes fake shoes are a bit tricky just be looking at it.

Lol, a couple of players winning big in a casino won't mean that they will go bankrupt. Remember that it is a business and they have deep pockets to begin with. I'm not sure if you have been in a physical casinos, because everyday there are literally gamblers winning jackpot in slots but it doesn't mean that casinos will suddenly file for bankruptcy. And I don't think that you will get an outright ban if you win big. Casinos are more intelligent than that, they investigate first before banning someone, just not in their casino, but I'm sure that the word will go out in other casinos. So it will take time, unless as I have said you cheated your way.
If a gambler keep hitting too much jackpots on game like blackjack then they will be surely kicked out from the casinos and they will tell that you are cheating the game by counting cards which is actually impossible to prove by them but still they will ban you based on suspicious causes.

You can check forum like reddit to see how man people were kicked our from casinos for no reasons.
Blackjack is different though, there's no such thing as jackpot on them, and I do hope you know that blackjack has the highest odds of winning. If you are talking like slots games and winning jackpot then there's no way that you can simply be kick on ban just because you are lucky or really be rigging the machine itself which the mafia has done before but eventually they have been caught.
5268  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain/Crypto roles on: June 28, 2020, 12:46:35 PM
I think that is hard to define fixed roles with fixed descriptions. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies evolve and change so new needs, new jobs appear all the time. Some general roles could be like developer, analyst, trader, trainer and similar but undere these roles there are also many different nuances and specifications. It's not easy to define and envisage all necessities in crypto world.
On the contrary, they could been separated as well. For blockchain technology per se, there could be software developers. But as far as cryptocurrency, investors, traders, exchange platform, third party services, much broader in terms of roles, in my opinion.

I'm looking to expand my investment strategies, I recently invested $1,000 into ethereum & have come across new softwares & systems like http://crazyfastcrypto.com . I've been researching stuff online (which is how i found this forum site) i like telegrams because it's more of a team strategy. if you have a good telegram to join that revolves around ETH specifically, would you mind sharing it with me? thanks..
Lol, pretty clever to promote that ponzi scheme of years. Is that really the website? it's not even SSL so I wouldn't even visit that link.  Smiley But to answer your question, Telegram as of late has also been a breeding ground for scammers, so I wouldn't recommend. If you wanted to expand your investment strategies, better stick in this community and just go around. If you found something interesting, then you can ask on that thread or board.

You should always be aware of all the changes.
Just like we are currently in, the OP talks about a break out to $10.5, yes we did touch that price but after that its been a roller coaster ride as the price fluctuates and we are now in the border of $9k and it's possible that it can go down even further as we don't see enough trading volume in the last week or so. And that $9200 resistance? it didn't hold so obviously, the price went on another decline. Let's just be positive that we can go to $10k in the last quarter of this year.

5272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: June 28, 2020, 10:28:52 AM
Many people think Wilder will lose again against Fury, but I have a different response. I feel a fight that will happen 18th July 2020
Wilder will prove to the world that he is able to win the fight against Fury. Through the trailer the video uploaded by Wilder shows
that he is very ambitious to defeat Fury, I see the burning passion in Wilder. The match between Wilder vs Fury in Las Vegas was
very interesting and became a proving ground for Wilder.
Lol, his back is literally against the wall, he really need to win in this trilogy otherwise, he might retire or need to fight low level competition at least and win to be able to get a crack on either Fury or Joshua for the belt  I don't know what match are you referring to, but in the rematch, Fury won against Wilder so it wasn't a proving ground for Wilder.
5273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Legitimate Gold-backed tokens? on: June 27, 2020, 11:44:42 AM
So far this is the only project that I have seen in this community that somewhat legit as far as being a gold backup coin or token. And as far as I know, it's already been tradeable on exchanges and those signature campaigns have been running for a year or more than. But I haven't follow the price though, if it has been pump or not. But definitely, this project should be on anyone's radar.
How about the gold project that we have in the forum? It's a stable coin which said backed up by gold. I haven't gone through the whole thing but they are one of the most active gold-backed project.

Yes, but I only trade in Binance because that's how I set up my bot. I'm using technical analysis, and just the rest of the guys, bollinger bands, MACD, the usual technical indicators. I try to extend my historic data to at least the last 7 hours or even 24. Fees is up to the exchanges, you can't control what fees they are going to top up with your trading.
5275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / VeChain to be used to verifiy authenticity of Nike Shoes on: June 27, 2020, 10:26:14 AM
For sneaker heads out there, Vechain, a blockchain based traceability platform will be used to authenticate the limited edition of Nike Air Max that will be released on the 28th of this month. Customers and retailers can check everything by scanning the QR code on the original Nike shoes and see if it is genuine or not.

This could revolutionized the shoe industry if this is successful and fully adopted by Nike itself.
5276  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Holding 9000$ Support on: June 27, 2020, 09:44:49 AM
Bitcoin is holding 9000$ support very well so far. If Bitcoin hold same support level next 2 days . bitcoin next movement ?

It's obvious, we only have two movement, going up or down, you may want to add a third option, go on sideways until a break out occurs. And for the record, its not just crypto who somewhat hit a big wall and didn't move as expected, even traditional markets such as stocks. And there are school of thoughts here that says there are correlation between the two markets. So if in the next couple of days that stock market moves, I'm sure crypto will follow.

And for speculators, you may want to read this as well, https://www.europeworldnews.com/bitcoin-options-worth-930-million-will-expire-next-friday-is-there-time-to-worry/. As this could have a net effect, positive or negative.
5277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: June 27, 2020, 09:24:27 AM
If someone is keep winning more bets then casinos will intentionally ban them from playing there, this is biggest untold truth behind every successful casino.They offer lot of free perks for you to enjoy and make you guilty about not spending enough money.
I don't think that casino's will ban someone unless they are caught cheating or suspecting that they are cheating. Of course if you keep on winning, alarms will be raised and you will be put under the microscope. If didn't find anything suspicious then you are good, but we all know that  luck doesn't last. Sooner or later, the house edge will caught up on you.
They an't ban anyone simply because they are winning but in reality if someone make huge money from betting casinos won't let those people to play in their casino because if such players existed then casinos will go bankrupt.We can see lot of stories from gambler who were blacklisted for no reasons.

As far as I know the Russian military. They don't waste words. If they say that they can start mass production of the vaccine in a short time - they will do it. The main thing is that the vaccine was successfully tested on volunteers.
Let's hope it can be true. It is not only the Russian military who don't waste words, but all military around the world also do it as they know how to keep promises. But yes, the focus on whether the research can be successful or not on the volunteers. It will be nothing to expect soon once the research failed. Of course, there should be other research but must take a longer time. 

We can only hope that the vaccine will pass the tests successfully. The world needs a coronavirus vaccine. And I really hope that we will get it in the autumn.
Medical experts that it will be ready by 2021, as testing is non stop in countries like US, China and UK. And that is a good sign, there are experimental drugs for Covid-19 already, but then again, it is just experimental for now so we don't know and of course before they can mass produce it, the WHO will have to approved it first. Let's stay positive that a vaccine will be developed to contained this infection.
5279  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The importance of support resistance on: June 26, 2020, 10:39:53 PM
It is very safe to trade with support resistance but when we learn to trade we forget it after learning it or we are not interested in using it. But the use of support and resistance is very important in trading. Many of us run after strategy and forget or ignore the use of support resistance. The market always respects support and resistance or breaks out and moves in an up or downtrend.
I urge new trades to learn to draw support resistance with great care and observe the market to see the results for yourself.
It's as important at having your entry and exit strategy. But the problem is that new traders doesn't want to learn some basic trading strategies, they just want to go there and trade and then complain when they loss money in cryptospace.

Here is a good read about the subject:

https://www.investopedia.com/trading/support-and-resistance-basics/

Yes, I agree that they are not 100%, everything in trading is not a guarantee, but at least knowing the basic and then you can learn as you go along.
5280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Venezuelan can now renew their Passport with Bitcoin as payment. on: June 26, 2020, 10:10:52 PM
That's odd tough, because of this article:

https://fintechranking.com/2020/06/26/btc-payments-disabled-for-passports-in-venezuela/

Quote
Venezuela’s SAIME has recently halted accepting Bitcoins for passport applications. The officials have disabled methods without explanation and people were unable to find the relevant information on the official website.

The situation is very vague and so far there has not been any official announcement. Venezuelans living in the country can still pay for passport applications with the Blockchain-based Petro.

It should be pointed out that U.S. based cards such as Mastercard and Visa are unable to conduct business in the country. As there is a row between the United States and Venezuela the former put a lot of sanctions against Nicolas Maduro’s country, thus preventing famous companies like Visa to operate there.

So initially they have accepted BTC as payment method and then immediately stop it without giving the public an explanation? Maybe they are overwhelmed or something, so we will have to wait for some update from them.
