England played well but the reason they wont go far in the competition is the manager roy hodgson.  When russia started pushing forward at 1-0 he doesn't bring on jamie vardy? vardy is the fatest best counter attacker in the premier league, makes no sense.
To screw up right at the end is the worst feeling. I'd placed a decent amount of money on England to win, and yet... urgh.

There's no room for error there.

It is just one of those things, a short English defender against a mountain of a man there was nothing he could do. I agree the manager messed up not get the Vardy on sooner. Such a shame for you and your bet mate, maybe in future you should bet at a site that allows cashout? I cashed out when russia got the freekick seconds before the goal, I still won basically what I would.
Which site did you use, if I may inquire? If it accepts bitcoin, then I'd love to use that. (That would give me a sense of security.)

Absolutely ridiculous. England was so close but then Russia landed that last goal. Gaah!

I dont understand why England coach didnt made some subs at score 0:0 ..what he waiting for...If they play as this one tonigh they are out at knock out faze...
The coach for England was really missing out on good calls there. Think about how many substitutions there were in the WHOLE game.

They got too cocky and Russia played on their arrogance.

I do not see it can affect in someway  to them.

Yeah, and I don't think the steam's acceptance of btc is the reason because of the bitcoins rapid price increase these weeks.
To accepted BTC steam need to consider about it, Steam need to look some possibility before to accepted bitcoin. Maybe they need to consider it from their member's response, or another reason need to consider before accepted it.
They have already accepted bitcoin as a form of payment. This is a known fact.

In the second post that you have quoted, it literally is stating the fact that Steam had accepted BTC. Before you post, read.

Though, they do require a confirmation (instead of instant 0-confirmation transactions)

5688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High bet amounts or low bet amounts? What is your style? on: June 11, 2016, 01:14:49 AM
i have a system based in statistics, not always work but is helpful...


every time that you make a bet and you lost, then you have to double your bet

...
-snip-

The martingale strategy is pretty bad. Think about what happens when you get to a high losing streak. Wagering hundreds to profit only $1? Pfft.
(Though statistically it's no better or worse than any other strategy ever)

The martingale strategy is nothing new, and though some may think that it works out for them, you'll find that eventually you'll approach the point where your balance tips towards 0.

I prefer high bet amounts, going all-in on one bet. Occasionally, when I want the gambling to last for a longer time, I will bet smaller amounts on sports bets.
5689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing in Bitcoin Casinos are really worth it? on: June 11, 2016, 01:04:47 AM
Hm... when you put it that way with the maximum bet limit I think you're right. Very low chance of a casino going bust unless they get cheated or hacked. That does seem like the biggest risk...it happens to even large exchanges and casinos online as well as in real life so that's a decently big risk imo.

Yes hacks are the biggest danger a casino could face.

But most of them are already storing 95% of their funds in cold storages or multisig wallets.

They can easily calculate how much BTC the casino pays to gamblers daily and only keep that much in the hotwallet, the rest can be kept safely in a cold wallet and only recharge the hotwallet when it's needed.

So if a hack happens they can only steal 5%, which is still bad, but better than 100%.
Yeah...100% and you're done. You're out of the game. 5% you take a hit, and probably lose customers because of the breach, but you're not out and you still have people to gamble. Can repair the user base by launching ads or something so it sounds like the risk is well mitigated. Do you have any casinos in mind to invest in?
I've heard that BetKing was trustworthy. I'm not completely sure about it, but there has been a lot of positive buzz about it.
5690  Economy / Gambling / Re: Should PrimeDice start to allow gambling with other cryptocurrencies? on: June 11, 2016, 12:58:30 AM
I wonder what you think about PrimeDice allowing to gamble with other currencies? I would totally find it cool if they would allow us to gamble with Ethereum for example. I know I can just use Shapeshift or so, but it would be cool if it would work directly on the PrimeDice site. What is your opinion?

I suppose that allowing gambling with other cryptocurrencies would add a bit more flavor and traffic to the site (or perhaps not) but there isn't too much demand for that. Besides, other altcoins could be much more volatile than bitcoin and cause some issues. Even if Primedice doesn't accept other crypto-currencies, there are always other sites. Primedice is purely a dice game, and you can find that pretty much everywhere.

Argentina v Panama ( panama +2 )
Messi is not fit to play in copa america and he playing very bad when against chile but i know it's too risk bet on panama because look by level of course argentina more strong than panama.
Argentina should still be stronger than Panama. I didn't put down any handicaps but simply went for Argentina to win. Though I don't doubt that they will do well, I fear for some possible cockiness leading to where Argentina doesn't win by too much.

In my opinion it help the forum to gain traffic,it is up to signature moderator to ban those who spam with their signature link on their profile..

If you look around further there are also members who do not use a signature that are also spamming the forum..

1. Forum traffic through the usage of allowing users to promote websites encourages unhealthy discussion that leads to spam. I'm not so sure that that kind of traffic is what the forum really needs. If you have a restaurant and fill it with children, that's also traffic. But is it good traffic?

2. Members who do not use a signature and spam are most likely account farmers as well. There shouldn't be a reason for spam in the first place, anyway.
5694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you spend your gambling winnings on ? on: June 10, 2016, 08:38:11 PM
Nothing.

I don't gamble for the profit (at least that's what I tell myself anyway) but rather for the amusement. I have never once deposited any of my "real" [fiat] money into a gambling site and I should think that that shows that I'm not completely hooked on it. (hopefully)

I primarily gamble for the enjoyment of it. I gamble because there's a chance I'll lose. Because of the excitement, the exhilarating bets, and the way my heart races when I click each button.
I have never heard it thud as hard outside of my gambling events.
5695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: TRICKS ON HOW TO WIN on dice games on: June 10, 2016, 08:31:43 PM
The trick is to gamble as little as possible. So go all in hoping to either double or come out with nothing Grin because long gambling sessions you risk giving your money to the house.  Either you're lucky or you're not, but don't push your luck too far haha.
You don't 'risk' giving your money to the house. Statistically, you DO give your money to the house. In fact, for each bet of x value, you give an amount of x*house_edge to them (in a statistical sense) whether you win or lose. Going all-in doesn't necessarily increase the probability of you succeeding. In fact, it's pretty much the exact same chance if you were to bet 100% of your money on one bet and if you were to bet 10% of your money 10 times.

The trick to winning at gambling: don't.

Lovely. Followed this bet (but only with 10 mBTC). I was a little skeptical despite the high odds, but I'm glad I went with your picks. Should've bet more, but safe rather than sorry!
5697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you want to see in Bitcoin casinos? on: June 08, 2016, 11:07:52 PM
Perhaps special sorts of betting on random things. Not just sports or politics but anything at all.
"How much money will this movie earn at the box office?"
"How many episodes will it take before the next character dies in Game of Thrones?"

Anything at all.
5698  Economy / Gambling / Re: I tried my luck again in yobit dice game..But ended to lose on: June 08, 2016, 10:56:36 PM
Though losing a lot of times can be affected by variance, it's not as if YoBit doesn't have problems. It's a pretty sketchy site in and of itself. Its 2% house edge is also ridiculous because there are no incentives to bet at YoBit. At least some higher house edge sites may have promotions. Stay away from YoBit. Far far away.
5699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: June 08, 2016, 10:03:46 PM
Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about not hapfmthe afternoon I have decided to give up gambling for good.  Its not for me in have a much too addictive personality. So now I just plan to work for casinos but not gamble.

The thing is you know you should cash out but you always want just that little bit more and then u lose the whole lot. I'm stupid and greedy. Right after I lost i put more in and doubled it then I went all in and lost it. So yes u can make a killing gambling with such a small about like a few dollars but then u lose all u make and waste a lot of time and energy and end up getting upset. Also i shake like mad when I gamble and I hate that. I tremble. When I lose I can't believe what the screen is telling me.

So any thoughts ? Ways to stop ? Ways to gamble with play money ? Maybe there are dust ga!going casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix. Smiley

No one is saying quitting gambling is easy but you can try at least. My suggestion is to play with the faucet money only or with some promo money they give you but never with your own money. That's for starters and then you get bored and quit it for good. )
That's not necessarily the way to do it.

Playing with money that you don't deposit can entertain you for about 5 seconds, but when you need to wait for money to come in, your patience dwindles and that leads to problems in the future. Once you have money that you can deposit, you most likely will do so just to sate your cravings. Even play money doesn't help: there's nothing to be gained. Although you're addicted to the act of gambling, there still needs to be a perceivable goal to attain - and fake money won't help.
5700  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Steam accepting btc - will it affect the forum market? on: June 07, 2016, 09:43:20 PM
What am I supposed to tell you it's a referral link? Sorry didn't realize that. I'll add it to the original post? Or should I just take the link down?


To be honest a quick search of Steam bitcoin throws up many a thread. So it would be a better idea to just archive this thread.. But if you want it to stay, you can always simply edit your original link, if you cant, it doesnt really matter . Not everyone is an ass when it comes to referrals links like me
Well I removed the referral part for now. Thanks for being an ass! Lol
i dont think that it will affect the forum market because there are always people who like to pay with other methods instead of bitcoins you know. So dont be afraid that it will affect.
It affected both the forum market and the overall market of bitcoins. Think about it. A hugely-known online marketplace owned by Valve (whose equity was 2.5 billion) accepting bitcoin as an option will lead to a ridiculous amount of attention towards bitcoin (for the overall market).

I'm sure that this was one of the factors for the price increase.

As for the forum market, I suspect that there will still be a lot of trading (perhaps slightly less) because people here still offer discounted prices for games [while Steam would charge full price off-sale]
