I thought I made it clear but here it is again: there is nothing wrong with responsible gambling. As far as I'm aware most reputable gambling sites are not promising to make you money. But if you think you can make money in gambling you should not gamble (this is a general "you", not directed at you personally).

100% FREE 100% guaranteed gambling strategy 100% no-loss ever:

Don't gamble.

That's it. You'll never have a losing bet if you don't gamble.

At this point you may feel cheated by the title of this thread, and wondering why this is in Gambling Discussion, and perhaps why I'm wearing a signature of a gambling site if I'm advocating for not gambling. Except I'm not really advocating that, just saying that if you don't want to lose you shouldn't gamble. Feel free to gamble if you accept the fact that you are going to lose. Gambling is entertainment and like many other forms of entertainment it costs money and can be addictive.

I'm appalled at the number of threads in this board and other gambling-related boards that are full of people either directly discussing scripts and strategies, or indirectly alluding to the existance of possibly winning strategies, particularly in luck-based games like dice. There is no such thing. You can't win against an RNG. You will eventually lose and your loss is likely to be much bigger if you don't start with the right expectation.

I'm guessing this is in large part due to a generally low level of knowledge about how gambling (and particularly online gambling) works. At the time of my first encounter with Bitcoin gambling (Satoshi Mines) I was also quite ignorant but it took me ~10 minutes to figure out the probabilities. I'm still mystified why some people don't want to learn how gambling works and at the same time are willing to put a lot of money on their wrong assumptions. Let me know what you think.

(edited to repeat the thread title inside the post so that it would be clear why and when I'm saying you shouldn't gamble).

The OP is asking people to join his syndicates (to gamble, not for rebates) so that's I guess how he's hoping to make the captain rebates flowing:

I still haven't seen a credible explanation why he needs other people to share his "100% guaranteed" method tho... the amounts he's mentioned are tiny (a few hundred pounds) so he could just bankroll it himself and get rich without sharing it with anybody.

Yes, Bitcoin Core wallet is HD since 0.14 (?) but you still might want to make regular backups since the wallet can have private keys outside of the derivation path (e.g. imported via importprivkey).

Staking is not a viable method to earn passive income. At best it's just a way to keep up with the self-inflicted inflation of POS coins. Obviously if you already hold the bags you might as well stake them but to buy coins just for staking is a fool's errand.

There is no need for a blockchain for elections. All we need is an ID with a private key that we can use to sign our votes and a way for each of us to verify our own vote. Some sort of Merkle tree solution can probably be used but I'm not an expert.

Blockchain ideas are too overused for stuff that doesn't require a public distributed ledger.  I don't need to know how my neighbor voted. We don't need the voting database to be distributed in a very expensive and inefficient way. All we need is to make sure that our votes are counted properly.

A cryptographic ID can help solve some other problems (illegal voting) but may create some new problems (ease of use) so it's not a miracle solution to everything.

I think the OP is trying to announce their token here which is probably against the rules. Crossposted on two boards.

The project itself is dodgy as others said. Baseless claims, aiming for a lot of money, no proof that they can do what they're promising.

There are no patterns like that. In luck-based games there is nothing you can do to change the outcome. In skill-based games you shouldn't be looking for patterns but to develop your skills.

Can you explain in detail what you're complaining about? Sometimes it sounds like you're saying your script was stopped by the site, sometimes it sounds like your script stopped because it hit your own condition of too many losses. Nobody can help you if you can't explain the problem.

I think "FUD" (and "hater" and some other dismissive words) is something we use when we lack the will to ignore the trolls but then run out of steam arguing with them. They have opinions and if we start judging what those opinions are motivated by, we are not much better than them.

"FUD" is way overused in the altcoin threads when someone starts asking questions or criticizing the project they're very quickly labelled as fudsters and dismissed. This kind of attitude almost makes me think of fudster as a badge of honor. It usually means (as long as you were not trolling) that you brought something up that no one was able to refute in a calm and reasonable manner and/or the project is probably dodgy in some way.

By the way, I think tagging negative trust for FUD is abuse of the trust system and should not be mentioned as a way to spot FUD. It's a way to spot trust abusers.

Right. You can't win with that strategy if you're not the one doing the P&D. It's a gamble and chances of guessing correctly which altcoins to hold are far worse than rolling a dice.

You're paying 10% for someone to take all the legal risks and possibly break the law? Taxes alone would be probably a lot more than 10%. The right way to do it is to find an outsourcing business willing to hire you and do it legally.

It's weird that they're accusing the OP of double spending. The TX has been confirmed. The deposit address doesn't have any other deposits coming to it. Even if there was a double spend attempt the site should just refuse to credit the deposit. Most sites don't allow zero confirmation deposits or allow only some limited cases for example high fee non RBF TX. Accusing of double spend after the customer has won and is trying to withdraw sounds very scammy indeed.

I guess that maybe the transaction was not yet confirmed when the chat person looked at it.

Deposit 18:20
Confirmation 18:33
Withdrawal 18:37
(current time in my tz, same as OP screenshots, is ~20:30 so it all happened within the last couple of hours)

Chat screenshot doesn't have timestamps. It obviously happened after the withdrawal request so after the confirmation too, but maybe the person was looking at a slightly delayed block info and didn't see it yet. Or they just looked at the very quick sequence of events (17 minutes between deposit and withdrawal) and found it suspicious.

Or you can just close the chat. If you come to gamble it's a great site and you don't need the trollbox.

I mean I don't really disagree that bustabit could afford to moderate the chat and it might be good business to maintain some decorum on the site but even with moderation some stuff will slip through. You're not making a good argument, it's not about children.

You can't really abuse dice or other luck-based games with multiple accounts. Sites that don't allow multiple accounts usually do it because of faucet abuse or some other reason that's not related to gambling. To me that sounds like a made up problem. I prefer sites that don't require registration, just give me a random ID and let me play.

Are altcoin ponzis even allowed on this board?

Calling it a faucet doesn't make it any more legitimate. Good job that you posted on the correct board you don't have 100 ETH and your "free plan" will never reach the withdrawal minimum so you're just trying to get people to deposit.

Altcoins are heavily correlated and it doesn't make sense to diversify between them. If you insist on holding alcoins, pick a couple of the most liquid ones and stick with them. Everything else is a very risky gamble and we shouldn't even be using investment terms like "diversification" in that context.

Don't we all. I always take my kids when I go to my local casino but the management there also doesn't want to accommodate my family by removing scantily-clad women and alcohol from the premises. They should have an officially posted age restriction or something.

That's actually the wrong strategy. You can lose more money by diversifying your investments this way. Read this thread for more details about altcoin diversification and why it's a bad idea: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5199926

You've been arguing with everyone here that your script can win despite the randomness of the game. Are you now asking for a compensation for losing bets?
