I don't think this is possible. How would that exchange gain profit from its traders? Nothing is free these days. A business without profit won't last long. Just imagine working hard but you won't get paid.
5722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbetting odds, which do you prefer? on: July 09, 2019, 02:54:11 AM
Therefore I'd like to get some of your opinion based on your experience, which is odds listed below gives you a better chance of winning?

a) over 2.00 or b) less than 2.00



Odds of over 2.00 means that team or player is the underdog or have low chances of winning. If you're lucky you will win double from your betting amount but that doesn't happen always. I would still prefer less than 2.00, they already proved their capability to win reason many people bet on them.
5723  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin can't be banned on: July 08, 2019, 10:53:10 AM
Bitcoin is a global currency and it exists on the internet so government won't be able to control it. It can't be banned easily just because it can destroy banks, it's because it has a lot of potential to our future technology.
5724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling vs. "leveraged" trading on: July 08, 2019, 09:31:31 AM
Gambling is different from leverage trading. There is a house edge in gambling and for me it is just all about luck to win. While in leverage trading, your skills in ordinary trading can be helpful. It is just its more difficult to learn compared to gambling. Both have risk but I prefer leveraged trading.

Thurman may be younger but pacquiao already proved his reputation to the boxing community. He already defeated some world champions before and been undefeated for some years. It's obvious that pacquiao has greater odds on sportsbetting websites. Imo this is just like his previous fights, pacquiao will win and he'll earn more money again.
5726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Crypto Players Skip Casinos with KYC on: July 08, 2019, 05:38:16 AM
I think kyc is important but the problem can cine from scam sites or sites who not have a good security and documents to be shared with 3rd parties, but if huge amount of money are put on a casino if they have a rule to ask kyc they will ask it.

Do you mean those high rollers? I doubt they will comply to submit their private info. It will put them at risks even if we say that website is well known. If you suspect he is a thief I don't think someone will just steal for the sake of gambling. That will be a different level of addiction.
5727  Economy / Economics / Re: What should you do in bearish market? on: July 07, 2019, 10:52:03 AM
Hodl as lang as you can and if you have weak emotion prevent yourself from checking the crypto prices. I have some bitcoin and alts since 2017 and what happened last year is really unforgetable because bitcoin crashed hard. I just hodl that time and I just think if I sold on that moment my paper loss would become real.
5728  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Makes Bitcoin Valuable? on: July 07, 2019, 07:04:59 AM
Imo bitcoin's value is what it makes valuable. People see an opportunity to earn from bitcoin so they invest on it. If bitcoin has low value today I'm sure it won't be popular. If it has no use on the future technology no institutions will acknowledge it. People will find other where they can benefit to it,
5729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Every time I sell Bitcoin pumps... Has BTC been good or bad for You??? on: July 07, 2019, 05:29:59 AM
It also happens to me in the past. But I don't regret it because those time I need money desperately and I can use some of my bitcoin investments. If you gain profit then it's not bad even if it pumps after you sell, you can just buy again after correction happens.
5730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: From Janitor to Millionaire on: July 06, 2019, 12:26:04 PM
This was on the news this week on our local television. A man named Vito Halasan was won a 7M canadian dollars in a draw. He is already on late 50's and is currently working as a janitor and buy lottery tickets for the hope to have a better life. I dont think that this man is lucky but i consider him blessed. They say that gambling isnt the answer to poverty but this man becomes an exception knowing he deserved to won and i know its really for him.

“I buy lottery tickets so I can dream. I dream of being able to take care of my kids and make their future better. Now we’ll be able to buy a nice house for my children and grandchildren,” -  Vito Halasan

In every rule, there is an exception but we also should not compare his life to us. The universe wants to make him win because of some particular reasons. If you devote your money and time with gambling, you will end up with a life completely opposite to him. Hardwork and dedication is really the key.

Here's the link for complete article:
https://news.mb.com.ph/2019/05/29/filipino-janitor-wins-7-million-jackpot-in-canadian-lottery/

I am a born gambler and I understand what Vito said. Buying tickets to dream is what we do. I have this writing above the head of my bed - "impossible is nothing" and it pushes me to keep trying. Many are saying gambling is bad but what is bad is alcoholism, addiction to drugs not gambling.

You've got to be confident enough to win big like Vito. However I do hope he manages the funds he has made well and should be wary of parasites - the very people that will cast aspersions on you when you're gambling will still turn back to beg for cash.


Gambling is bad if an individual is addicted to it same as alcohol or drugs, or anything that is too much will always be bad for people. Nothing is impossible as long as you work hard, Vito was a janitor and not a gambler, he just simply had a dream to give his children a better future, and luckily he got that in gambling. I'm sure even him didn't expect that to happen. Now he can retire, have his own business and make his dreams come true.
5731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your most weird betting experience? on: July 06, 2019, 02:43:40 AM
I considered my past year experience as weird betting experience, because I only used small btc amount that earned luckily on dice games. But, I find it enjoyable at first then suddenly all my wins was vanished due to I failed to make it again after such a long time. The weirdest thing about it, I wasn't able to control my excitement after winning situations came.

That wasn't weird and it was just normal, it's rather called being greedy. Also earning some decent profit if you only used small amount imo is also normal because I've experienced it in the past. That gambling website is tempting you with those winning streaks to play more, if you don't control your emotions properly you'll eventually end up losing all of your earning and capital.
5732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: STEP TO TAKE WHEN PAYMENT IS BEEN DELAYED BY AN ONLINE CASINO on: July 05, 2019, 11:54:31 AM
Contacting the support is the best solution if your payments are delayed. Ask for the reason why it happened and when you will receive it. Don't send any private as much as possible. Read the FAQs of that website and find the conditions to make a withdrawal.
5733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people bought Bitcoin because of you? on: July 05, 2019, 06:37:19 AM
I prefer to invite people to trade directly. I provide information about the advantages of Bitcoin trading. They are some who are immediately interested and trying to buy Bitcoin. And I think until now they still do a trade because they know that this is a way to make money quickly.

Bitcoin trading is also risky because the market is very volatile. Might as well tell them the disadvantages of bitcoin so it's not your fault if they lose money. Maybe they don't lose for now but we don't know if bear season like last year will happen again.
5734  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some Risks Of Long-Term Hodling Alts on: July 05, 2019, 05:07:59 AM
There are so much risk in long-term holding of alt coins. But you don't really need to worry about it especially when you have done the right research to all of it. It also the way to avoid such scam coins and not getting profit into it.
I recommend to just use your money excess in holding long-term because it may really take too long to increase but I am sure it is worth it.
If the coin has not the right standard in holding alts for sure you'll just regret it in the future.

I agree, if we have done research before investing in altcoin, I think we will be more calm and rilex. But holding an altcoin for the long term is indeed risky because it all depends on the developer team, if the project success making a good product, then the price will potentially increase


There will be less risk if you invest on altcoins that already exist for few years like eth.They are very active on their projects and you can monitor their social media for updates. It's difficult these days to find a new altcoin that has a great potential in the future. Even a potential altcoin can turn into scam if the main objective of the developers is to earn money.
5735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Holding multiple altcoins on: July 05, 2019, 03:54:37 AM
I have some currencies in different wallet address. I really don't know the coin that will Lambo first, so I try to accumulate as many as possible I can get. I have miss out in some good projects because of falling in love with a particular project that would later broke my heart because it will probably dump.

Accumulating a good strategy as long as the coin is a good coin with large daily transactions. Not all altcoins are good for long-term investment and I think we can choose some altcoins as an investment because many altcoins don't have clear projects or don't have enough liquid daily transactions

The best choice is only pick altcoins that is in the top 10-20 of coinmarketcap. They have continuous updates on their project and large number of traders. They are stable in prices compared to pump and dump altcoins. Crypto investment is risky so before anything else DYOR before buying not just because on speculation you've heard.

I think there was no celestial involvement to particularly pick this man (even if he deserved it) or any other higher order but rather pure chance and he just got what we call "lucky". I suppose after buying lottery tickets for what was a few decades ago a lifetime by the odds are relatively probably that  you'd end up getting something in return. In his case, he just got damn lucky and good for him. Though, I do not think this is an example people should use as the outcome is very probabilistic.

I don’t believe in superficial or celestial thing, there is no such thing as celestial involvement the guy is just lucky that he won the jackpot. It is inspiring to know that someone with this status in life was lucky to win the jackpot and that he spend it wisely unlike other who spend it lavishly until nothing left.

Those people don't control their emotion when they've win huge amounts of monry. They think that it won't run out quickly that they can do anything they want. It doesn't come up to their minds that it is harder to earn money than to earn it. It's ok to buy or experience things you haven't before you don't have that amount of money but don't spend all of it just for that purpose, remember that it takes one in a million for someone to win in a lottery.
5737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: SUMO WRESTLING is it entertaining? on: July 04, 2019, 01:09:58 PM
Sumo wrestling was became an sport industry in Japan and i heard some of sumo wrestlers were have luxury life because the champion can earn a lot of money but this sport not good option to considering as sportbook feature because globally sumo will be lack of interest to bets and exception for Japan only because this is as sport legacy exist since hundreds of years ago
If there is an option to bet on the sumo game then more people will get interested on that too,think positively. Smiley

I don't think it will attract more people outside Japan. It only happens there and if people doesn't know the mechanics of that game or who has greater odds of winning then they won't have an interest to bet on sumo wrestling.
5738  Economy / Economics / Re: The Risks and Rewards of Cryptocurrencies on: July 04, 2019, 12:06:54 PM
Everything has risks. It is up to us if we are prepared to face it. There are many risk when you invested in cryptocurrencies because market is very volatile. If we know well what we get into we can minimize those risks. I invested in crypto because I'm more thinking that it will have a great value in the future mostly bitcoin.
5739  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cash out after having investment trippled in bitcoin! on: July 04, 2019, 10:14:31 AM
Investing sometimes profits and losses, all depends on our efforts. I don't hold a lot of bitcoin, because in the case of 2018 I was hit with a lot of altcoin tricks which until now the price was not the same as it used to be a dime coin. I regret why I didn't just collect bitcoin instead of buying altcoin which doesn't mean anything until now.

If you're holding those called shitcoins then just treat it as a lesson in crypto world. But if you're holding potential altcoins like eth, ltc or anything that is in the top 10 of cmc then don't be afraid of your holdings. I also don't have bitcoin right now instead I have ltc and etc. Though the price is very low right now I'm optimistic that they will pump soon.
5740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reason we need cryptocurrencies on: July 04, 2019, 07:44:24 AM
Main reason I think is to be free from banks. They charge higher fees compared to crypto. Transaction was made easier and faster because of crypto. You can send to any country without restrictions using cryptocurrencies. Also the price fluctuates so your holdings can grow compared to the interest that bank gives.
