I opened a thread with a scam accusation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1775566.0
Ok, a scam is a big issue let's see how 1xBIT will handle this accusation, I hope you can solve your problem.

Almost 24hours but still no reply from 1xbit, I doubt this issue will be solved. At least 1xbit should come to the thread and say something on the thread. Lets see what will happen
They will have to respond with it, it is important for a site to remain reputable as that is the only way you can attract people to play and to retain your loyal clients. Anything, regardless how you weight the problem, it should be address the soonest possible time.

Nice comeback by the TrailBlazers, they rally from being down by 20+ points but unfortunately they are short in the fourth quarter. Nice game for me and this gives me a little win so far. I bet on the Portland Trailblazers -3.4 1st half, thinking they will start strong but it was the other way around.

When I see the live line that gives portland +8.5, I immediately grab it, it was an opportunity and that really gives me a win tonight cause I double my previous lose.

Gambling is like another kind of daiky investment like trading or anything. It won't be wrong if you have responsibility for all the risk.
Gambling is not only about win or lose. There is one thing that you have to control, one thing that need your responsibility, it called addiction.
To be a good gambler is not about win big amount in one game, but it's all about how to control your addiction.

Exactly. What makes it wrong is when you are going out of control. Normal betting one at a time or when you are using money that is not for other purpose, then it's just fine. Another thing that we should put in mind when we gamble is if we love to accept when we are winning, we should learn to accept losing to and leave than trying again and again.
I guess the hardest thing to do is to accept defeat, but as a gambler who wants to enjoy more and to last more, we should learn how to do that. At least we are being real and we do what is needed to be done. The problem will come if we are too confident as we do not learn from our mistakes, we keep doing the method that is not working anymore and we will only notice we are being stupid when we ran out of money.

A good investors should have a good focus on what he want from his money.   Smiley
Investing 5k $ means that you could take same risk with a small part hof amount (like 1K) and move to safer investments other 4k (also have some $ in liquidity could be a good idea.).
I agree. You are just emphasizing diversification of investments. It will always good as it will minimize the risks.

But in recent times bitcoin investment has proven as one of the best high yielding investment opportunity. And many people are speculating this trend will continue in future also like bitcoin prices will be reaching $5000 levels too. If bitcoin is the ultimate choice for investments, then diversification will not be needed imho.
There is no assurance that the prce could be touch in $5000 value we are seeing development in some countries that accepting bitcoin locally like in paris and brazil but bitcoin still anonymous and some country do not allow bitcoin because of anonymity so bitcoin will stay in the price where we are now and i think the price could be only touch is in $1,000 above or below $2,000
Who would think that we will be at this level, in the past we do not expect the price will reach this far as early as today, right? I guess whatever the price we are in our mind now as long as it is a realistic speculation, we can have that in the future if the price increase will continue.
5665  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why you should Buy bitcoin now on: February 04, 2017, 03:43:40 AM
-snip-
For now Current BTC PRICE $976~ . Then you waiting for bitcoin down or fall ro 750$? Bitcoin is currently in a stable point worth of price, I guess you'll missed of moment if you still waiting for roller coaster.
It's not good to hope for the price to fall back just for our own interest, we might not gonna see that lower price so take some guts to ride with the current price. I guess we will be heading to another success of reaching $1,000 and we might surpass what was previously achieve as all time price. Never hesitate to risk, we are bound to success.
We certainly have to develop confidence in bitcoins now that we have seen the great potential that it is
currently exhibiting not even the whales will can pull down the price.
So let us  not wait for price drop before we can buy bitcoins as the best price is yet to come,buy now and hold.
Why would they fall down the price, they will be more benefited with the price increase as they are holding tons of bitcoins. Whatever happen to the price now, we just have to ride with it, and in the current situation, we don't have to sell right away, let's enjoy more the increase of value and maximize our income.
5666  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: February 02, 2017, 03:52:53 AM
because they have a stake on it

they have interest on more fiat going into btc
I agree but I think not only because bitcoin as investments that generate huge profits, but also because of its use easier than fiat. yesterday I redeem paper money from big nominal to small nominal, of about $700. My fingers become dirty due to be careful in counting fiat.
Life is funny, you have that kind of big amount and yet you complain about your hands get dirty, while for some people, they will be very happy to hold that big amount. That would tell me that life is not fair, people have different satisfaction.

Having said that, we cannot replace fiat just because we are comfortable with bitcoins, think of the majority, the government knows what they are doing.
5667  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you manage ur emotions? on: February 02, 2017, 03:33:54 AM
In trading, i do many time one mistake and that is, I always buy that coins in medium price and when i bought them, than suddenly the next day i saw price more down, and in that time i seriously panic and than sold them in a low price. Now i think may be i am not made for trading and also not for gambling.   
Don’t worry if you don’t have what it takes to become a professional trader then if you still want to get some profits out of trading is to simply buy some bitcoin and forget about it for some months if it gained value great see what you can do to maximize your earnings if it has not gained value then keep on waiting.
If you are not good in day trading, you can always buy and just hold your bitcoins. In fact, there are people or investors who are just keeping on saving there bitcoin and they allocate a certain portion from their income just to accumulate their target volume. The thing is, while your volume is growing, you can expect the price of bitcoin will continue to grow as well, that would result to greater profit in due time.
5668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: February 02, 2017, 03:07:44 AM
Boston is down with 11 points at the half, I like to do a live bet on this one and take the Moneyline. I believe they are a good team especially at home and The Raptors have played last night, so I think The Raptors will run out of gas in the 2nd half. I am not too confident with this bet but just for a play, I will be putting a small bucks for this.


Well this fight is very close and the game is already near to end the score is 95 - 94 in favor of  Boston Celtics. This game is just a rally and I think this game can end up into an overtime or else Boston can get this game in my opinion. Both teams are showing good performance and I'm not also confident that Boston can get this game.
I think this game will go to overtime, Boston is leading by 2 points with 21 seconds left, enough time for the Raptors to tie the game. The overtime is the only chance or a life saver for those who bet the over 214. Good luck.
5669  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?! on: February 02, 2017, 01:43:46 AM
Maybe some would like for Bitcoin to be dead because they don't like its success, so they spread such information but people who are seriously involved in Bitcoin world will not beleive that. To my opinion it's very stupid to say that Bitcoin is dead every time when some price dump happens but that could be only said by people who don't actualy understand Bitcoin and how it's functioning.

They can spread wrong information all they want but they cannot make bitcoin dead, they have no idea how big the network already and it's still growing. We supported bitcoin and majority of us will dictate what will happen to the future of bitcoin, and I know we will not allow bitcoin to be dead.
5670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: February 02, 2017, 01:23:39 AM
The only way I know where you can apply good analysis, and thus significantly reduce risk, is investing in sports betting. In any case, it remains risky.
It has a very deep meaning, what are you trying you imply? Most sportsbook does not accept investment in their bankroll unlike casinos where games offered like dice, they welcome investment.
My understanding in your statement is, you have to be very good in sports betting to consider your gambling activity as investing. Am I right?
5671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Really The Future Of Money? on: February 01, 2017, 05:39:04 AM
Well for now you can assume that its quite stable and a worthy option to consider. It will never(not at least in the next 100 years) beat fiat, but surely as the number of users increase, could be the biggest competitor to fiat and even gold(if you talk about investments)
So it sure is going to be quite prosperous in the future, and it is the future of some money, not all of it I feel.
I am also not agree that bitcoin can replace fiat because bitcoin has just fixed number so it is really hard if we used bitcoin as the worlds legal currency. But, of course I am in favor that bitcoin would legalize and one way of legal tender. Yes, it can be the biggest competitor of fiat because bitcoin has lot of advantages compare to fiat. Example of it is bitcoin increase in value as the number of users increase while in fiat remains.

There is no way in future that Bitcoin will be legalized. The main advantage or plus point of Bitcoin is its total anonymity. If you legalize Bitcoin then that will be erased. How can anyone make it as a legal tender.?
Yes anonimous is one of the greatest obstacles to a bitcoin legalized by the government from any country and therefore also bitcoin made way for money laundering.
Though anonymity is an obstacle, the Blockchain technology is into consideration among several countries to use it into financial services. Also several banks in various countries have developed their Blockchain based on their need and was under testnet.
The use of bitcoin is only illegal if we will not comply with the law made by the government. For example, in our country, we are required to update our information and comply with the KYC Policy so every time we deposit and cash out it will be accounted by the exchange site under our account.

I don't think there is no need to formally legalize bitcoin as a coins since the technology is decentralized and no one can control nor change it.
5672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: February 01, 2017, 04:58:57 AM
I think a lot of people who feel shameful when caught in gambling may also one reason made online gambling, if being a gambling addict I would feel shameful and could damage the good name of my family because where I live gambling is considered a criminal activity

Wow!!! Your community seems so harsh on gambling, but that's true, if your community has implemented a law against gambling, then you should not violate it, it's for your own good.  Smiley Anyway, why be ashamed about it if you are not affecting other people? As long as you are doing your duty to your family and in real life, your gambling activity is not a problem.  Smiley
Why would anyone think that gambling is a big deal and a problem for the community. We, as gamblers are controlling ourselves on how we behave when doing it, it is our responsibility to be matured so we will not lose a big amount that could change our life from better to worse. In fact, the only problem is gambling addiction but if we can prevent that from happening to us, it is alright to gamble as always.
5673  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: February 01, 2017, 03:03:51 AM
Bitcoin has the features which fiat don't have.

Bitcoin is digital, easy to transfer the money, remittance service is quite popular in third world countires, using bitcoin is cheaper than fiat payment processor.

Bitcoin is anonymous, we don't need ID to transfer money.

Bitcoin is investment due to volatility, people can make money from trading bitcoin.
I think the investment side is more appealing for now, with money transfer, I still have doubt that it is cheaper to come when we still need to exchange our fiat to bitcoin and then bitcoin to fiat once the receiver have the money. We know that the value for some exchange site is different from it's selling price, so that could be considered although indirectly as our charges.
5674  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: February 01, 2017, 02:34:48 AM
You should be!!! We already saw what bitcoin can do. Some already change thier lives because of bitcoin. And im waiting for bitcoin to change my life too. Hoping that my country will not ban bitcoin.
While it has change the life of some for the better many are also suffering with loses due to bad trading technique and gambling. We are not destine to be all profitable as bitcoin was not created to give us income but as a means that we can use online for our transaction. The only advantage we have is we are in the early stage and we can explore opportunities that could give us great income.
5675  Economy / Economics / Re: Spending Bitcoins on: January 31, 2017, 07:59:44 AM
Spending directly with bitcoins is not an option in india .people dont even know what is bitcoins and the price of bitcoins have gone down and i dont see so much potential in it .

I agree that bitcoin is not so popular in India at a moment and there are no places to spend bitcoins directly but how can you say that price has gone down and it has no potential in it? Just look at the price what it was in the last year and what it is today you will see major growth in the price of bitcoins and it will continue to happen even in future when bitcoin gets more older and older.
That's because bitcoin does not only circulate in India, it's a global currency and there is a huge demand of bitcoin than in your country. Small countries will follow big countries and it might not be popular now in our country, but overtime, we will experience the benefits of spending our bitcoins to buy our needs and wants. When that time happens, the value of bitcoin might be big already as it increase as time passes.
5676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: January 31, 2017, 06:29:59 AM
For now My sources of bitcoin are trading , gambling and signature campaign. Theae three are my way of earning bitcoin. Its good if you have many ways of earning bitcoins. But sometimes I am loosing to. Just signature campaign is te most stable one.

Earnings from signature campaign is guaranteed if you meet the weekly requirement of the posts and there is nothing to loose from where as trading and gambling have a risk of loosing your bitcoins as gambling involves luck and its impossible to be lucky every time where as trading requires good knowledge of market but trading is far better in compare to gambling.
You will be satisfied with that if you are just a kid who has no responsibility in life to raise your kids and to provide the needs of your family. For few, it could be the best source of income but for people like me who has a bigger responsibility and need a decent income, I don't think it is the best source although it could help somehow.
5677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: January 31, 2017, 06:07:27 AM
My experience about gambling problem is deposit, before there bitcoin made I had often chat with customer service to confirm the deposit, sometimes they are a long response. Now everything so easier with bitcoin.

Does it affect your life? I mean, did having a pending deposit in gambling site makes your life worst or you lose because of that? Anyway, OP is warning everyone, if you don't want to lose anything, then don't gamble. Many of us keeps on complaining about our losses and yet we keep on betting and just keep on coming back each day. I think we won't come up with a solution to our gambling problem or we will always end up in problem if we keep on betting. Better stop.
That's how unfair we are, we can welcome the profitable outcome easily but hate the loses. It will not gonna help us in the long run as our attitude of not recognizing mistakes will only make us think that we are better and we will not be able to see the disadvantage we have in gambling.

Memphis Grizzlies Vs Phoenix Suns

As I have always said, Grizzlies is an unpredictable team this season. They can win against the strong team and yet lose to weak teams like Lakers. The handicap line for this game is low and it seems to be a trap to take Grizzlies -3.5. It makes no sense for the bookmakers to give Grizzlies a -3.5 handicap against a team at the bottom of Western Conference. I am going with the bookmakers and bet on Suns +3.5.
Memphis needs a win badly and they can easily beat this team. They are well rested and although they are playing on the road, we have seen they can win games especially with their good defense. I don't think the suns will be able to initiate their good offense if the Grizzlies will start to pressure them.

High scoring game for 1st quarter, but I don't think this will continue, I am still confident under 207 will win in this game.
5679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: January 31, 2017, 04:01:56 AM
The only bad thing that we should not do is taking money from other for gambling. Gambling is always risky one, you should gamble with your own money,if you loose the borrowed money how can you pay them. Control your feeling until when you have some money for gambling.
The moment you borrow money, you have already violated the basic rule in gambling which to gamble what you can afford to lose. You borrow because you ran out of bankroll and not to expand your bankroll. That is not a good action and most likely it will result you to being indebtedness in the end.

Because there is a good possibility he is making this up. It is easy to make an alt account and post serious accusations anonymously. Someone should contact a mod and report to find out who this guy behind the alt account is. Maybe he is a fudder hired by another competing sportsbook or something crazy. This forum has more crazies than you think.

Why we should contact mod to find his main account, if we know his main account then what is the benefit?
I dont think other competing sportbooks need to hire someone to make this thing, other competitors are still better than this site so they will not do it as this site is not a big competitor for them.

Lol yeah i guess he is high , in far away fantasy
Accusing someone hired to ruin 1xbit reputation without evidence
I don't think it was true , just considering a lot of reviews and feedbacks here
Too much complaints , they have to improve their customer service it's important.
Customer service is the most important in running a gambling site but that is the main thing that can ruin a gambling sites reputation. The owner is maybe busy with making his site better and he feels he does not need to respond with some accusation if that is baseless. Any scam accusation related should be posted at the right section.
