Hello there, I cannot find informations on your site about the house edge of your house games , may you please address me to them?
I tried to scan with their Terms of Service, FAQs and some pages, did not find anything about their house edge.

No information from BTCGOSU review.

The team are right one to answer you about this because it is their business.

If anyone can make a thread like this Overview of Bitcoin Accepting Sportsbooks (with margin/house edge comparisons) but for non sportsbooks, it will be very helpful.

By replying in another thread, I searched around and found some Forum Ex-Staffs as follows. It's interesting to see the author of some famous books like Matering Bitcoin, Mastering Lightning Network, Mastering Ethereum, The Internet of money, namely Andreas Antonopoulos, has an account here. He was a forum moderator too.

Interesting discovery, with me, in early of 2024.

Ok would you be willing to take a 10:1 bet that Chelsea won't be relegated into the Championship? If you win, you get 10 mBTC. If I win, I get 1mBTC. I say they won't be relegated under any circumstances. Let me know if that is a bet you would like to accept and we will get someone reputable to quote our conversation and then we can settle it at the end of the season.

Crystal Palance vs. Everton ended in a draw, which is quite unsatisfactory for both as the game must now be repeated and both of them really don't need any additional games for nothing.
Thinking of a relegation for Chelsea is too pessimistic. They are not good as they used to be in previous seasons but they have yet been weak enough to be relegated. Their star players now can not compare to their legendary star players who won many titles for the club with the generation of Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Cole and more but those current players are able to secure a spot in Premier League for Cheslea.

I expect that Chelsea will start to recover in this season and will get a ticket to join either Conference League or Europa League in 2024 - 2025 season. It will be a good transitional achievement for them to become a giant in Premier League one or two seasons later.

Overall, Chelsea has played 1,210 matches in the Premier league and have won a total of 637, lose in 274 with a total goals counted at 2,045 goals and those are some interesting stats to know about the history and current situation of Chelsea in the league.
They can not survive in this season by relying on their record. To survive, they must fight hard and be strong enough to get enough points to stay in the league.

Quote
This season, Chelsea have played in 20 matches already with just 8 wins, 4 draws and another 8 loses that is equal to the matches won and a total point of 28 right now which have kept them in the 10th position of the table. Ordinarily, one would have expected to see Chelsea at the top of the table together with clubs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, West Ham Brighton amongst other clubs but unfortunately, they did not and this seems to be a similar outcome to what we saw in the last season which is going to glad.
The 10th position is not what they want but it is somewhat safe for them, far from relegation zone. Because they are a big club, they have to force themselves to improve and aim at higher position, like top 6 of the league. They must aim at Europa League in the next season and to have chance for playing there, they must play better and get a higher position in Premier League. Appearance of Aston Villa in top four will be a surprising barrier for Chelsea to end this season in top six.

Let's check past calls of forum admin when there was need for forum moderators. You can read to see how moderators were chosen in the past. Main factors can be personal reports and community support (vote).


It is the case of @mole0815 who was appointed years ago. A latest appointed moderator if I am right.
There will only be one moderator.

Report history is the most important consideration for a moderator candidate. Over the forum's many years, relatively "newbie" members with good report histories have consistently done much better as mods than veteran, well-respected members with poor report histories. That said, not all reports are equal, so a simple report count doesn't tell the whole story. Also, in addition to report histories, it's necessary to consider factors such as the ability of the candidate to be neutral, their trustworthiness, etc. It's also nice to choose a moderator who people generally already trust/respect, but sometimes this is outweighed by other factors.

If a poll is created, I will not completely ignore the results, but I will also not use it as a primary influence. I'm more interested in arguments people have for or against certain candidates.

Here are the top non-bad report counts for the German sections over the last 6 months, along with the German boards which those reports covered (broader coverage being better).

I think there might be many more though I can't remember and do not know how many people are facing problems like this.
Not sure about two other cases but for case 2, it seems a terrible practice was made (at least it is what the user told us).

Teleporting an account from Bitcointalk to Altcoinstalks, and using a same password. It breaks an important principle, don't reuse password on different platforms.
Quote
I recently teleported my account in altcoinstalks. I was required to put the same username there too. So I used the same password there as well.
No requirement to use the same password for the process!

I don't know it is a reason or just a fake one, used by the user to fool us but let's say, reuse password is bad practice.
I don't believe admin of Altcoinstalks forum plays bad and do something like this with his forum members but who knows. And let's take this case to make a warning, again

Don't reuse password.
Password must be unique, best if randomly generated, and strong.
606  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🐺WOLF.BET - Advanced Dice Game 🎲 Sportsbook 🏟️ Slots 🎰 on: January 04, 2024, 02:28:11 PM
Agreed - I am not a dice enthusiast myself but their dice game really makes a difference - speaking of originals, you all be told that they are "cooking" something... Wink

Wolf.Bet`s consistency is amazing and unlike others, they do not pretend to be the biggest site in the world, yet they keep growing, slowly but surely, and advertising when/where necessary while introducing a very generous affiliate program for serious marketing people. I can only repeat that they are some of my favorite people to work with (for years now). The fact that there are literally no complaints goes to show how much they can be trusted.

Is there anything that you are missing at Wolf?
Wolf.bet joined the forum in 2019 bear market and I remembered they started their business with not too many products for users. They run a signature campaigns a few times and dice was one of games which were built slowly with time by Wolf.bet team.

Then HILO and more games, then sportsbook, it shows professional of the team as well as their dedication to build up a good platform for users.

I am also impressed with Zwei who is still working with the team after many years. She is a designer for their signature sets many times and also their campaign manager too. By the way, has Zwei become a Business Development staff of Wolf.bet, after some years of cooperation?

It's the first signature campaign of Wolf.bet but they actually run it five times so far.
607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: January 04, 2024, 04:40:42 AM
I didn't compare which player is smarter. I just stated that both are smart players. If we compare which one is smarter, it will be an endless debate. I don't want to debate on it because we are not in the topic about Messi vs Ronaldo.

I know very well about the skills of both players. I already watched them since they are young players. I even already watched Messi since he was a substituted player in Barcelona squad. So, don't think that I am a new football lover, dude!
They are both smart people and players because without smartness, they would have not been two best players in the last 20 years and even in football history. They made different decisions when leaving Europe, decided to join different leagues at different continents but I don't say who is smarter than the others. We don't know their actual reasons for those decisions and maybe their decisions were made not only because of themseves like their career but also because of their family exclusively their children.

Quote
Why? I don't think so. It is about the offer made by Al Ittihad and the plan of SON. If SON still plans to play in Europe, he won't accept the offer although it will be a big offer. Please understand that playing in SPL isn't the same as retire from football career.  Grin
Son is still strong physically and he can play well in Premier League next one or two seasons. If just saying about achievement for an Asian player, Son has gotten a lot of achievements that can be enough with many Asian players. However, he is an ambitious player and his ambition is what makes him to learn, train, improve in Harmburg then moved to Tottenham and make history there. I feel like Son will continue his career in Tottenham and will not leave Premier League soon.

Perhaps he will move to Saudi Professional League after World Cup 2026 when he will satisfy his ambition to play in another World Cup with his national team and also be older enough to seriously consider about his finance when retirement day will come closer.

Thank you! Normally if I bet with high odds it's below $0.50 my bet is, but it was for the Perfect 10 contest, and you should make a bet of $1 minimum, with odds 10.00 or above and with betting on minimum 10 outcomes. And after selecting 10 games I saw that my odds where unnecessary above 50.00, and I thought "Ah, f*ck it, I'll leave it like that!" And I won. Smiley I lost my bets with the odds like 12.00 and 15.00, but I won with 54.46. Smiley
It's a f*** beauty of gambling. Congratulations to you.

Bet with abnormal higher odds than your favorite and with bigger bet value than usual, but at the end you got a lucky win. It's damn stimulating and really increase your dopamine. You are a pro gambler and I really sure you will simply enjoy your win, restructure your balance and capital for gambling and try your luck next times.

A pro gambler is different than newbie gambler by never bet all and never bet with super high multipliers continously.
609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 03, 2024, 01:25:53 PM
Newcastle Unites was doing good job but suddenly as they have few injuries and suspension of the Tanoli this give them big shock with things are going from bad to worse for them in last few days, and they are dropping points frequently in early rounds they were right on their target and things were completely favourable but suddenly as fans were expecting they achieve more than expectations they lost their points and form which bring them down in Premier League and also having early exit from the Champions League.
Newcastle United got some internal issues that affect their performances but this season is still long and opens for them to fight for their own target. Possibly they can continue fighting, improving and participate in top four. With their position and point differences with clubs above and in top four, chance for Newcastle United is not actually too small.

If they can improve themselves, play better, get more positive results in coming months, they will open an opportunity to join top four and Champinos League again. Their task will be hard because there are some big clubs will compete with Newcastle United like Manchester United, Chelsea (I hope Chelsea will be back) and some big surprise like Aston Villa.

Quote
Eddie Howe is currently under pressure with his job is also under threat even most chances Saudis will not take any quick decision and will wait for the end of this season with improvement option is still available, but now it's time for them to act quickly and create chances for their best result in coming matches even now challenges are tough but still achievable for them.
It's surely that in a recently becoming-rich club, pressure on a coach is very big. Their boss usually don't have enough patience and can not keep calm to wait for results from money spent for the club. Eddie Howe is under pressure of expectation on good results and big risk of sack if results won't become better. A very vital condition for him to stay in Newcastle United is they have to end this season in top four. Get a position like this, being eligible for Champions League, it's best way for him to save his job.
610  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is just happened on the Bitcoin Market? on: January 03, 2024, 01:17:08 PM
I can say that the reason is the panic of people about these articles about saying Bitcoin ETF approvals will be possible this January.
Since it is still not true, for me, the run will continue until it is proven, that this dump of what happened is only an advertisement for this run.
Bitcoin Spot ETFs were applied for about 10 years [1] and were rejected many times. I am sorry if it will be not different this time even logically SEC messed up by approved Bitcoin Futures ETFs but don't do the same for Bitcoin Spot ETFs. The first application is in September 2013. [2]

A big correction for Bitcoin is expected to happen after it has a very green year and in monthly record, it already has 4 consecutive green months.

The first Bitcoin conference had about one hundred participants which showed that people had no interest in it at the beginning.  

The world first Bitcoin conference
Gavin Andresen talked about his opinion on Bitcoin Priorities. About this man, newbies can learn more about his contributions.

With Satoshi's blessing, and with great reluctance, I'm going to start doing more active project management for bitcoin.

Quote
But the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami attracted about 35,000 attendees and many others viewed the event through various electronic platforms. This a proof that Bitcoin's dominance in the global financial system is still at its infant stage because the future is bigger.    
It is another good evidence of Bitcoin adoption over years. It has been grown very exponentially within 15 years since 2009.
612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin vs Internet adoption. Bill Gates was trolled about Internet in 1995 on: January 03, 2024, 06:20:51 AM
First, let's watch this short video.

In the interview, Bill Gates was trolled about Internet capacity to handle a podcast, just a podcast, not a video, movies or livestream like we have nowadays.
Quote
In the first six years of the WWW (1990-1996), less than 1% of the world used the internet.

The internet’s adoption curve was marked by a really slow beginning when it was only interesting to tech experts. This is similar to the early days of Bitcoin. We can observe the growth of Bitcoin through its value as the number of holders increases the currency’s worth. Sixteen months after Bitcoin was created, its value was still at only $0.004.

(World Bank, Wells Fargo)


Born in doubt, the Internet changed the world entirely and I see some similaries and potentiallities of the Internet and Bitcoin. Now, let's read some more resources
Bitcoin has potential to make bigger impacts than the Internet.

Coming days will be very chaotic with SEC. and Bitcoin Spot ETFs but if you have bitcoins, spend time to read above and hold your bitcoin. Best has yet come, even without Bitcoin Spot ETF approvals, best has yet come, I repeat!
613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You want to make USDT transaction, check transaction fee across chains on: January 03, 2024, 01:56:39 AM
I think it is much easier to just hop into your wallet and try to make a transaction to see what the actual gas fee is. You are checking the gas fee because you want to make a transaction. For that you need to go into your wallet anyway, so why not see the gas fee right then and there? And the gas fee frequently changes.
This is true that when you make your transaction, you must to open your device, access your wallet and make a transaction.

The point is, before you do this, you can use those websites to check network status, transaction fee and see that do you actually want to make a transaction at that moment. If transaction fee is too expensive, it's unnecessary to do later steps.

Quote
No offense but I don't see the need for going to some other website to see the fee.
Maybe it's just me but doing transactions and watching the fee from the wallet is much easier. I could be wrong and people could have different opinion about this. But that's how I like it.
You are missing a point. The more exposure your wallet has with Internet, the more risk so if you can reduce it, why don't do this?

Prevention is better than cure even you can not have an airgap computer for your wallets.

Binance charges a $1 fee for withdrawal of USDT through TRC20; and $8 for ERC20. I guess the on-chain fee for sending both ERC20 & TRC20 tokens is higher, isn't it? That's an advantage LOL although I recommend avoiding CEX.
Centralized exchanges proceed user withdrawals in batch transaction and they get benefit from processing withdrawals for users. They charge $1 USDT per a USDT withdrawal but if it is a batch transaction, they actually charge like $10 or $20 or even more and you see, who get benefits here.

It will be clearer with withdrawals via big blockchains like Bitcoin.
614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You want to make USDT transaction, check transaction fee across chains on: January 02, 2024, 12:22:48 PM
Isn't USDT is some kind of centralized chain. They can lock an address whenever they want.
Yes, not only USDT but other centralized stable coins. Altcoins are centralized and stable coins are something like centralized, more sensitive with regulations and law enforcement requests.


I don't remember when I used the ETH network last time for my usage. I normally use the TRON chain for USDT transactions. The website showing TRON fees is bigger than ETH, lol. I thought ETH fees are normally now around 3 USD. Smiley
Also, another site for your need and for comparison.

The most inspiring users for each member are different. It depends on the user's needs to use the forum such as favorite boards and discussion types in which there will be some other members are most actively there and usually give most insightful answers for community help request.

Generalize the answer for OP question, look at BPIP that is one of most famous and favorite third-party website for Bitcoin talk users.

Option 1 Buy small amounts of $30 daily through 2024.
If you can assign $30 to accumulate BTC daily, I believe it will be better for your investment if you switch to weekly DCA.

$30 daily ~ $210 weekly that is a good enough weekly investment capital.
By doing this weekly, you can afford to withdraw your BTC from exchange account after your purchase is completed.

Don't leave your coins on centralized exchanges for too long.
