congrats on the win Iv4n, and well played Betwrong!

As expected from the previous winner  Smiley

See you tomorrow! Smiley I hope there will be more people than today! Smiley

i'm a little disappointed with the 18-player turnout. OTOH it's great value considering the money/prizes added to the championship prize pool. i know CoinEraser and big_daddy said they couldn't make it today and would probably be there tomorrow.

it's still a wide open series. lots of value still there for the taking......

I cant make it to the series as well because I got things to do . Lets hope that I could join Sunday's game. Some people could be showing up at week 2 or week 3 series after they check the standing of the tournament. To make sure they still have a decent chance to win and advance to the grandfinal



Kudos to whoever made that spreadsheet, it is great !   Wink

Anyway, the income of the miner will primarily depend on the price of bitcoin. 

Not solely as some miner tend to mine other altcoin as well ( some smart miner atleast )

In almost a year, Bitcoin rose by 300% and in July 2017 amounted to about $ 2,500.  In addition, And we all observed that before the end of 2017, Bitcoin almost skyrocketed to $ 20,000

Although statistically it shows an increase after each halving, dont forget that the current world is in pandemic right now. Alot of people need cash instead of investment, I mean the average joe so people could be hard selling it once it reach a certain number.

In longer term however we might see an increase but some miner could be affected by it and might stop their operation ( unless you mine from a third world country with cheap electricity )

Thus, halving 2020 can also show very good results and miners will not suffer.

Quite confidence arent you but I do agree on this

There is a lot of news about time cuts during matches I don't think that will happen because football matches will always play for 90 minutes it's a more normal time.

It's only news and not an official one. Well it could happen as I have seen some leagues going on 70-80 mins recently (can't recall now) but given the situation they are in I think they could do so since they want to conclude the season quickly as possible but I think that is the last thing that would want. 90 minutes a game is perfect .

If it were me I would rather opt for substitutions to be increased over decrease in game time.

Some news are either based on assumptions or some insider information. If it is based on some insider information then maybe it could be some consideration by the top brass right now. Until then, we could only wait for the official news regarding that

However if you look into the consideration that the league will be played while the country is still in pandemic then it is make sense to not let the player too tired. Even if they keep on substituting their players then at some point , the substitute player might not be able to pace at the same rate with main player

The virulent disease has pretentious mutually China and the United States. China was clever to be in charge of it, but after loads of months of extra special efforts. It caused gigantic fiscal destruction near was well.

Aside from their extra effort, there are tons on conspiration regarding the virus was created by China to create some sort of chaos to the world. Alot of countries especially US and most Eruope tend to blame China for this

I hope that EU and USA wont allow it. We need freedom outside the china

You will still get your freedom, even if China emerge into a top leading country it doesnt mean anything unless your country has alot of debt to them. You will stil live pretty much the same as usual

You forget something, people dont literally choose esports when they have no soccer games to bet. Someone cant suddenly love esports unless you really play that game as well. There are tons of virtual sports in most sportsbetting site right now and alof of people will choose that over esports. Also things could be going much better in the near future as some team in premier league has called their players back

Which could really means alot of things but it could be because they are going to resume to league soon  Wink
You do not really see the difference that adding couldn't really hurt anything at all. The worst case scenario not many people will play and you will probably just see it continue without getting too much attention from the people and that's about it. However if you really have something special and many people start to flock to it, you will see it get lively and bunch of wagers and all that.

So, what is the downside to adding this? How could it hurt to add it? I do not see any changes at all and there is only positives to it. If you do marketing to promote the esports part more, that could cost you some money and if you do not get anything in return that could be the downside, but as long as you do not really spend any money on it, there is nothing bad neither.

You should really learn to read everything before you quote my post and write nonsense against it.  Smiley

perhaps you should read everything here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774929.msg54382275#msg54382275

I was hoping to see a faucet on the site where i can play and test the site before actually depositing on the site. You have included few promotions but including faucet will be a good addition as your site is new.  I hope there will be no KYC policy for withdrawals ?
That's what I will do once I visit a site to use the free crypto to test their site. If no faucet or even free crypto fund like other sites do for people to try their site just like bits.(do), where they give a little bit of satoshi to test their site and some find errors or bugs that helped them. Not promoting bits.(do).

Im not really a fan of faucet anyway, even without it you could deposit a bit to start to play. As stated above, admin might give you something if they are in chatroom so you might as well want to register and just chat in there ( hoping the admin might notice you somehow )

Also this is just at beta stage for now, so things might be changing soon.  Wink

fc chelsea wanted to poach a 16 year old talent from dortmund.
but the bvb has put a bolt before it and the talent stays in dortmund for now

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nnamdi-collins-rejects-chelsea-move--talent-to-remain-at-borussia-dortmund/view/news/360082
It is quite interesting to see these type of news. This kid is only 16 years old, half of my age, and he is seen as such a big talent or a huge potential that teams are willing to play millions even before that kid could play professionally and show what type of player he will be.

These type of situations work two ways, either you pay that much money for someone so young but you get yourself a dedicated very talented hard working young player and keep him there for a decade and/or sell him for a lot higher, or the second possibility is, since the kid is talented it looks like he is a lot better compared to other 16 year olds

Fun fact about this is that poaching young players like this is considered as an investment. You never know how your investment turns out in the end, this player could be a superstar in few years or turns out to be a flop

however when you put them versus professional level players he starts to realize he is not that good and starts to play badly and ruins his future.

Or he could realize that he is not that good enough to compete with all those top player and start practicing more. everyone start from the bottom, even christiano ronaldo, he practice daily when he was still youngster with a hope that he might surpass his senior in Manchester United and he did

Why did you guys want to shorten the match? What's the purpose? The article was only about a hypothetical thing, about what it looks like if the games were only run for 75 mins.

I think EPL can resume ASAP if they play the game without supporters, even better if they broadcast it for free to the world as a charity.

If they want to continue the league and end it as scheduled that means they need to rush and there are still alot of matches. Players could be playing 2 or 3 matches per week and that will drain their stamina. Therefore shortening it into 30 minutes for each half with 15 minutes breaks is reasonable.

Also dont forget that the whole world especially UK is still on pandemic . Everyone that is tired will have lower immune system which could be dangerous for their players as well

This could be all just assumption but lets wait for the official news regarding the league

Wish you had the copper badge though, to improve your trust a bit as a newbie.

Having a copper badge doesnt mean they are more trusted then other newbie, it is just they will get alot more priviliges in posting and such compared to a new newbie account

That being said , if they are the real deal of rollin.io as they claimed then they got a potential chance to get back where they was

I like the part where you plan to make everyone a winner. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean making everyone, most or many more players to be consistently profitable. I think it is a challenge worth solving in betting industry.

Consider it as some sort of marketing strategy  Wink

You may try to register then say hello on chat and if admin is around then you'll be tipped 10k satoshi.

10k satoshi is generous enough for a new site. Im tempted now lol
5430  Economy / Economics / Re: China will rule world as economy king after crisis end? on: May 08, 2020, 12:31:20 PM
We are not sure about this, but I am not wishing for China to become world power, and that's because I don't really like how their government functions, they don't have freedom in their own country and their government controls them lol, such a government doesn't deserve to be the world power.

I know a lot of people are going to say this because they, China, has been making a lot of sales; health products such as masks, ventilators, and tests. Despite that a lot of things these days are being produced in China, they still have a long way to go. That they produce everything doesn't mean that other countries can't produce theirs too, it's just because there are lots of lower-wage workers in China.

They will be one wether you like it not especially when things are calming down after the covid 19 pandemic. If you look at China compared with US or any other powerhouse country, they you will notice a distinct difference between how they handle this pandemic. At the current stage, even US is still struggling while China has calmed down and getting ready to start the race earlier

i've been amazed at bitcoin's resilience during these turbulent times. now we know that growing institutional interest is one of the explanations for its strong performance recently.

All I can say is that the alot of people are looking for something stable and have a long term prospect. In this case it will be gold, US dollar or some other currency ( If you live in asia ) and such .

The US as well as most europe however is handling the pandemic situation badly therefore alot of people doesnt really keep that much of foreign currency. Oil is pretty much useless and tanking right now therefore bitcoin could be an alternative ( kinda like a silent alternative that you dont want the whole world to know )

Esports is getting more attention just thanks to pandemic lockdown. I know that it was already big, the first ones were small time lan based games and right now we are talking about finals at stadiums and all that, so we know even before the lockdown it was getting big

Actually esports was always big even before the pandemic lockdown. Alot of gambling sites has included them in their site as well however this is just a new case where alot of gambling site which accept bitcoin also included them.

Dota is still the leading esports game to bet on, despite being in lockdown for now there are constantly alot online tournament that includes alot of top teams to compete so it is very interesting to bet
I didn't mean like esports was something very small that suddenly became bigger. I know that esports was big but at the same time the only reason why it was big was the viewers not the gamblers. Definitely esports had some gambling as well but comparing it to big guns like basketball, football, american football and even some other stuff would be naive, esports was nowhere near that level at all.

Obviously right now they are the biggest because the other ones are cancelled or postponed, which means there is no basketball, there is no football, there is no nfl and the only thing left is esports which makes it evidently bigger than everything and biggest of right now. This doesn't mean esports was nothing and now something, it just means that it was probably in top 10 but became the top one after all of this.

You forget something, people dont literally choose esports when they have no soccer games to bet. Someone cant suddenly love esports unless you really play that game as well. There are tons of virtual sports in most sportsbetting site right now and alof of people will choose that over esports.

Sky sports through a twit reported Manchester United have requested all their players abroad to return to England
Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1257963312576331777

Good stuff, should mean a return to first team training is imminent for them. I already saw that Wolves are going back on Monday 11th.

It could be just a request for their player to come back and do some test wether they are infected or not. If no, then they will proceed to train for matches or some other precautions. Well it is still a good news and If thing goes accordingly then we might see some matches to be played at the end of this month ( the latest possible ) .

agree, it could be matches next month, but without audience IMHO
season should be completed, if their is enough conditions for everyone to be safe, it is better than froze it on this point, or cancel it
If there is no increase in cases of spreading of the virus, I think it is safe enough to continue the match or competition at the beginning or after the quarantine period it would be better without spectators. Anyway, this is good news, hopefully this pandemic will pass quickly and the competition can continue immediately.

Where did you hear that there has been a decline in the corna virus spread. I have not seen any news network saying that the spreading has gone down significantly globally. I am only hearing that it is increasing everyday.

Untill they actually come out with a vaccine rather than claiming one I do not foresee any matches to happens in the near future. No one want to get infected especially the players.

Then you should probably stop reading news instead and find your own fact regarding it. You could find the data here https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

There is less people infected and less casualties since a week ago so yeah things are going good for now. The reason why you cant find this in your local news is because people like you favor negative news more rather than this kind of news. Negative news will most likely give the media more readers compared to positive one

It would be interesting to see what kind of statistics the bookies would be able to provide since lockdown started. I agree esports has always been big, but until regular sports disappeared I did not know even the team names or the odds. Now at least I seem to recognize them thanks to their names always appearing on the markets:)

The world is heading to much more digital world so in the future we can expect things to be much bigger. As of now, the statistic wont give you any good data regarding how high the spike of esports interest during this pandemic lock ( it will be just a niche compared to what most people thought will happen in the future regarding interest in esports )

On another side note, if anyone wants to play with me or even have a friendly sparring of 5v5 feel free to contact me through pm and I will add you in game ( or if you are interested in their magic chess game )  Grin

Looks like we have now 1 team that is sure to participate. 4 more teams then we can set up a tournament. Smiley

In the meantime, since you are the one who sends me a PM first on the day this thread was created, can we arrange our friendly battle? Something around $15 bet.

Deal? If yes, let's talk at Telegram.

May I know your ML id/username and Telegram?

Cant do a bet without permission from my team leader but I'll be happy to spar with you if you intended to do a friendly sparring. As of now, I and my team are still practicing few new heroes to increase our hero pool for future tournament . Instead of betting for each game then setting up a tournament with a registration fee might be better

Also dont forget that the ping factor might come in favor for those that set up the match as the room leader, so it is kinda hard to gamble on some game  Smiley

I don't think that E-Sports was so popular among people before the pandemic.  Even fortune Jack introduced esports on their site in this pandemic. Many sites took the similar steps because no other sports were live in these days. Due to this many new people begin to know about esports.
You are right as E-Sports was not popular as this was available on very limited sites and punters was also not enough but this lock down bring very good popularity for this as now most of peoples lock down and have no activity so they are studying and doing stuff on this and many sites bringing odds as few weeks back very sites able to give odds for this all.

You guys got it wrong, esports is always one of the top choice for some people to bet especially on big games such as TI. Just because fortunejack or even some other betting site put in esports as one of their sportsbetting choice doesnt mean it is now getting more attention than ever

It got some new people to be interested in esports, doesnt really mean it is getting much bigger attention. We are talking on a big scale here rather than just some few guys suddenly started to be interested

Exactly, player statistics is enough basis for bettors to see on what team they will bet

Actually no, some people could fake their statistic by showing you their smurf account . Some people could hire some better player to play their account for them so this kinda betting using skill is actually has alot of flaws in it. There is hard to prove that it is indeed you are the same guy playing the account unless you are livestreaming it which is kinda hard

The halving wont really affect alot of miner because those small time miners are usually mining by setting up their equipment in third world country where the cost of electricity is not that high compared to Europe or US

They wont really get that much profit but they definitely wont shut down due to halving for sure
If anyone is able to relocate to a third world country to set up their equipment then you cannot call them a small time miner  Tongue. If you are mining with a few equipment you are not even expecting much profit in any country as electricity is not free even in third world countries, you are just happy running the full node.

With a single Antminer S9 you cannot make profit in US or Europe but with three Antminer S9 you can still make around a dollar a day Wink.

I guess you could said so but I know a guy that only have around 10 mining equipment and mine from a third world country. Im not sure if you consider this as small time miner or not but he showed me picture of the place before and it is only a small room that fit around 30 equipment if you stack them up.

he only used two small aircon during the day and one during the night so the electricity bill isnt as high as when he used to mine from his country  : Cheesy
