6001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The gambling black market thrives in Britain on: February 18, 2021, 06:48:12 AM
Was unfortunate to have fell into something i wanted not but becasue of my mindset towards gambling i choose to gamble whenever i have the funds. Whenever dealing with illegal gambling platform if anything happen nothing could be done to these platform because the police won't get involve. Some years back i lost a whooping sum of money $3000 but couldn't make any report to my local Police, i won't advise anyone to get involve into illegal gambling.

In fact, the opposite is true - if you lose money in an ordinary legal casino, then you cannot do anything since everything is legal and you cannot dispute the result of the games. But if you lost money in an illegal casino, then from the point of view of the law, this is an insignificant (in terms of law) transaction and you may well file a complaint with the police or court in order to get your money back.

Losing money in both legal casinos and illegal casinos will be a pain for every gambler. We can't do anything except accepting the losses, but some of us are still playing gambling on both types of casinos. We can't complain to the casino because the casino will not accept it and will remind silent. No matter what, we should stay away from the illegal casino if we don't want to get a problem. Otherwise, when we play a gambling game on that casino, and the police know about that place, they will arrest all of the people who play. It's only a matter of time before the police can arrive at that place and get all the gamblers.

I would not mind accepting sponsor money from the casino, but that will depend on personal because some people don't want to accept the money if that is related to the casino. After all, the sponsor money will be like a bonus to the streamer as they give something to their viewers, and when the casino offers some money to them to be like an ambassador or help the casino promote their site, the streamer can accept it. If the money is enough for the streamer, I think they can accept it and help the casino.

It can be done but the exchange rate will be the same.
I tried it once converting my Bitcoin to Ethereum just so I could get out with cheap fees.
But after conversion the end is the same in USD.
20-30 dollars fees does hurt when you are living in a 3rd world country.
The best way could be just to withdraw in one sweep. Maybe 3-4 weeks of accumulated funds before getting out.
Yes, it will not be the same. I think that will not be a problem, although the conversion is the same in USD because you still get the most amount. Yes, I agree that we don't have to withdraw the payment if we think that we can hold it for some time, for 3-4 weeks, so we can withdraw it at once.

~snip~
If fees are the problem using bitcoin then convert it to usdt, and also I think no sig campaign pays in bitcoin? or maybe only 777 and Bitvest? most of it are now in usdt because bitcoin price now is very high and the transaction fee is higher than their weekly payment. But I am not using my salary in sig camp in gambling maybe yes if and only if I have more money and extra, I don't want to use my savings because it is already allocated.
At this moment, it is better if we hold our payment in bitcoin for a while until your target price can reach so that you can sell your bitcoin at once. But that is an option because some of us still hold every payment that they got from the campaign. After all, they want to have many bitcoin in the future.
6004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fastest and safest way to buy bitcoin with debit card on: February 17, 2021, 06:06:55 AM
Although I don't try to buy bitcoin with a debit card, I heard that binance allows you to buy bitcoin that way. If you can do that with Binance, I think you don't need the other way to buy bitcoin because using Binance is safe, as long as you can secure your account. Besides that, I think you can check on Paypal because Paypal now allows their member to buy bitcoin within their account.

I am sure you can easily find how to buy bitcoin than in a few years ago, and you can select which way that can make you comfortable. With bitcoin become more popular now, it gives more ways for people to buy bitcoin.
6005  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC HIT $50000🎯 on: February 17, 2021, 05:12:25 AM
Finally, the bitcoin price can touch $50k yesterday, although the price now back to the lower price, but I am sure the price will have more chances to break and stay on up to $50k. We will see the other new ATH this year, which can make people and us out there amazing, and that can make them find out how bitcoin can increase so high. It will attract more big companies to invest in bitcoin, giving supports to bitcoin to grow more than now. This year, bitcoin can get more popular because people will see bitcoin as a new way to make money. The high price of bitcoin will be remembered, making people miss the chance to buy bitcoin at a low price.
6006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: February 17, 2021, 04:06:58 AM
I'm not ready to gamble my $200 worth of Bitcoin when there is a possibility that this $200 will become $300 or even $400, Bitcoin is now the most valuable asset in Cryptocurrency so I prefer Tron, Doge, and other alternatives, I include the high transaction fee but it's only a secondary reason, I am hodling Bitcoin and trying my luck on altcoins.
I can respect that, the price of bitcoin has been growing significantly during the last year so I can understand that people are afraid that if they gamble their bitcoin right now not only they could lose their bitcoin but any potential profit they could have gotten out of it, but at least in my case the biggest roadblock are without a doubt the fees, you need to pay huge fees to send your money to the casino and in the case that against all odds you happen to be a winner now you need to pay the fees for the casino to send those coins to you reducing your margin of profit significantly.

If we are worried about the bitcoin price that still increases, we can use the other coins such as Dogecoin, Tron, Eos or the other coins to gamble. By using altcoins, we can reduce the fees, and we can save our bitcoin to be sold at the exchange than to just for playing gambling. But using $200 will be too big to be used for playing gambling, and that is our decision to use little money to gamble. We should secure our bitcoin to sell at a high price to profit when the bitcoin price increases so high.
6007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: February 17, 2021, 03:10:06 AM
But the problem these days are the Fees, unless you are being paid directly in your gambling account wallet so you have no problem in playing time and time.

also you are bitcoin paying but low amount so you must try to double that or triple just to satisfy your payments for weekly basis.

Yes, the fees will be our concern right now, as bitcoin prices now increase, which impacts the price. But all in all, paying some fees will be our support to the network, and for the reward to the miner, so I guess that will not be a problem for us. Besides that, we still get the most amount of that funds, so we should be happy to receive that.

I am sure that many gambling sites have a conversion from bitcoin to altcoins to help us change into altcoins to reduce the fees that we need to pay. That is an alternative that we can do to prevent paying the fees in bitcoin, and I am sure that many of us already know that.
6008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: February 17, 2021, 02:09:08 AM
~snip~
The most important factors to determine an odds for teams that you're betting with, is you really a fan of that kind of sport you wanted to bet. It won't be effective if you're just choosing depending on sport activity, as other think they'll able to take good chances to win. However, knowing the odds of the game you desired most like of basketball or any other sport, could be done simply if you're updated with their eliminated rounds until finals. Don't think about the luck but the probability is certain, once you exactly have the knowledge on the sports that you're going to bet.

You are right. If we are a fan of that team, we will know almost everything about them, including the coaches, the player, and how they can play better than the other teams.  We don't have to analyze too long because we already know who they are. Basketball and football can give us the odds to win because many people are fans of that team, which will help us know which team has the high odds to win in the next season. The probability will be our luck to win the games, so that luck will come to us.
6009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to go about this ?... on: February 16, 2021, 05:41:18 AM
Perhaps, you can just hold your bitcoin and don't do anything except receive and buying bitcoin, and you should determine when you should stop buying. In this matter, you are making a profit when the price increase, especially if you sell your bitcoin at more than $50k later. You don't need to confuse to manage your funds in your wallet because when the price can stay at more than $50k, you always make a profit from the bitcoin that you bought lower than $50k.

But it will be different if you use your bitcoin to trade because you must find a way to buy at a lower price and sell bitcoin at a higher price to make a profit. If you plan to buy and hold bitcoin, you don't need to worry or confuse. Just buy and hold it.
6010  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you say you made money if you never actally sell your coins? on: February 16, 2021, 04:43:11 AM
Should you hodl forever?  Does everyone have a price?  What is yours?   Huh

Well, that depends on your strategy. If you want to sell your bitcoin at X price, you need to hold it, no matter if the price will always go up and down many times. While you hold, you can still make a profit in bitcoin, so you can see your bitcoin amount will increase, and at the right time when your target price is touch, you can sell it to make money. It is hard if you don't have a target price to sell your bitcoin, and that can make you hold without knowing when you can buy bitcoin. But if you really want to do that, that is up to you.

As long as I can see I can profit from converting my bitcoin to fiat, which means I make money, and I am still trying to make more bitcoin. It is okay if you hold your bitcoin because you don't have anything to buy with your fiat to help you collect more bitcoin.
6011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice games on: February 16, 2021, 03:41:05 AM
I am a die-hard martingale strategy always do this with a fair share of success, but I do it manually with variation when I have 30 rolls I usually refresh or reset the game I have success doing this but it doesn't mean that it's a perfect strategy there's a time that bad luck sets in where I can have 20 or more rolls and that wiped out all that I have, it's still a game of luck but I am more entertained doing this, doing things manually will give you more excitement.

Perhaps, that can help you win, but you need to remember that that strategy will not always work. You can modify the strategy or use 10 rolls and refresh or reset the game and see if that can work too for you. I don't try to refresh the game like you because I think I can stay with using that, although I don't roll more than 30 rolls every time I gamble. I realize that the dice game will be the game that always needs luck, so I don't have to try hard to play the game and stop if I think that is enough for me.
6012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: February 16, 2021, 02:31:15 AM
It definitely will make you better, if you just bet on the team without the knowledge that their players are bad then it means you are going to lose a lot of money. When it comes to sports, you just need to learn the basics, overanalyzing the game will be detrimental in your decision making process. Coaches play some part too, if they are famous or not is a big deal, they can strategize into doing a comeback.

If you bet without a knowledge on the sports, that's betting blindly, if you bet with knowledge on the sports and the teams, that's normal betting.
It doesn't mean you'll win right away or even increase your chances of winning, if we talk about sports, it's entirely different if you are putting a bet on it speaking based on my experience.

In sports betting, we need to have a basic knowledge about the team and the sports, but that will not win the game because we can't get more chances to win if we don't get more info about the team. It will help us analyze each team, and we can know which team can win in that match. But besides having knowledge for the team and sports, we need to remember that the luck factor will also take part in sports betting. So if we can analyze the team that has a chance to win, but we don't have luck, we can get lost.
6013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do we lose at gambling? on: February 16, 2021, 01:23:48 AM
I find it very confusing to talk about self-control in gambling which is difficult and not easy to say because it relates to the money at stake which is badly needed and sacrificed if you lose.
and greed will make us lose control because of the ambition to continue to win which in the end will lose everything and everything that happens without us knowing it, all that will happen when gambling and rely only on luck to win it.

That is the hardest thing that we must learn because even though we can control ourselves, someday we can lose control, and we will tempt to play gambling for longer. We can forget to control ourselves because we can get some money, leading us to spend more money. I have those experiences in the past, but I don't want to get that experience as I know that I will lose more money if I still do that.

Besides that, chasing the loss will not be recommended to make us get more losses in the next rounds. There is no guarantee for us to recover our losses, but there is a guarantee for us to get more losses.
6014  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hello 50000$... on: February 15, 2021, 06:51:13 AM
That was close to $50k, but I am sure that it will break $50k soon. Right now, the bitcoin price is making a correction before it can break the next high price. So you need to decide what you want to do in this downtrend, and if you think you need to buy bitcoin, you should analyze before the price turn back to the high price. I guess the price can pass more than $50k in the next increase as we almost touch $50k yesterday, so it is better to prepare yourself for the coming. But if the price can not increase this month, you don't need to worry because sooner or later, the price will start another rally to break the next higher price.
6015  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Big Dump on: February 15, 2021, 05:52:18 AM
This day is a downtrend after yesterday's bitcoin price increase for a while. It is a good time to buy more bitcoin, and if you still have money, you can buy it now or wait for another lower price. But if you don't want to buy for more, you can hold your bitcoin and don't panic because it is a correction of the price as usual. You can analyze more to find a good price to buy bitcoin, but if you doubt that the price will be back to the high price, you don't have to force yourself to enter the market. The price will increase again, and you should not worry and only waiting for a while.
6016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Heroes of Bitcoin - A thanks to the many good people. on: February 15, 2021, 04:49:15 AM
If you add about Elon Musk, you need to add McAffee too Grin

Yes, lol. Even if they gave somewhat bad reputation to Bitcoin, I think they have to be added. Ver is already on the list in spite of misleading people to buy his shitcoin.

I would also put Saylor among the most recent ones, I think he has done a great job in a short period of time.


Thank you for mentioning Ver because I forgot about him, hahaha lol.

But we need to thank Satoshi Nakamoto for introducing bitcoin to us to learn about bitcoin, have bitcoin, and make more bitcoin. We all know that bitcoin can be a new source of income and for investment because of him.

If we can teach other people about bitcoin, they will thank us for giving them the information about the new income source they can use to make money.
6017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: February 15, 2021, 03:54:01 AM
100%, if you are watching every game you know who is playing than you know if someone is playing through an injury might be less likely to have a breakout game.  Knowing specific players and their hot or cold streak, injuries, etc help when doing player props for sure.  The professional sports betters know in and out what is going on with every team they bet on or against.  Throwing a dart at the board isn't the best strategy Smiley

Yes, when the coach changes the player because of injury, we can arrange or modify the strategy to select the team, which can help us get each team's statistic, which is a match. It could surely help us have the right team with the biggest potential to win, although that will not always guarantee because, in the middle of the game, the situation can change, and we don't know if our team can still have a chance to win. Besides that, our instinct will also help us choose the team, and we can search for what strategy can help us win.
6018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thailand government seeks measures to tackle the problems of illegal gambling. on: February 15, 2021, 02:53:12 AM
~snip~
I think it isn't an issue of money or anything, just of morality itself. Not from Thailand, but I suppose by the fact that they haven't legalized allowing casinos under their country, it seems to me that the government there generally frowns upon it, whether it could bring profit or not isn't really a matter they would take into account. Although I do agree with legalizing it instead of letting it stay as illegal, it also means that they basically gave in to the community of gamblers, which may paint them as an irresponsible government (at least, in their own eyes).

Perhaps, the government can educate them about the danger of playing gambling. Instead of saving their money to buy their daily needs, they just use it for playing gambling, which they can't always win. It needs awareness from people themselves to know that playing gambling needs responsibility to control themselves and not use the money for their needs. By legalizing illegal gambling, the government can get more income from the gambling business, which can be their additional income source.

With a 1bn lottery win you can definitely afford all the unnecessary things in life. Honestly how will you ever be able to spend so much money. It seems in possible. I mean most of us here in the forum are great investors and could easily make it work to live if 1 million. With decent investing you can live of the interest and don't even need the lottery win itself. But with 1bn you probably can't even spend all the interest. It's so much money.

It is easy to spend so much money with 1 bn lottery, and it doesn't take too long to do that thing. Sometimes, people who got a lot of money from one or two things will forget about their plan that they made before. They will use the money to buy, every day just buys many things, most of all the things about the unnecessary things, and they will forget to save that money. With our needs increasing, it needs more money, so that will not take too long to spend it. That will be the lesson to us to take care of the money, and not spend it on unnecessary things.
6020  Economy / Speculation / Re: When Bitcoin is going cross $50k? on: February 14, 2021, 08:11:29 AM

Well, the psychological is that sellers think that we can't go above it too much, and buyers think it might be difficult to go beyond it as well. Which means during a period when we need people to buy more, and much much more, people are thinking it is very tough to go beyond it, so it creates an extra layer of problems.

I agree that is why some people are on a wait and see attitude and always asking the right time to buy, they want someone or a group to break the barrier, sometimes good news is a barrier to break that, take the case of DogeCoin holders are asking when moon, then came Musk who breaks the barrier and people's motivation to buy was released.

I have the feeling that we will break the $50k this month. We almost reached the 49k already. Guess, in some small or local exchanges, bitcoin is already priced at about 50k. But aiming for 50k? This is very easy now. While others are already aiming for 100k, 50k is the nearest price in the current market to achieve without a doubt.

It could happen soon. We still have 16 days later until the end of this month so that everything can happen. We hope that $50k can reach this month, but if that does not happen, bitcoin can break $50k in the next months, and I am sure that $50k can break this year. But to reach $100k, I don't think that will be easy as if bitcoin is not getting more support, it will not help the price to increase.

But no matter how much the bitcoin price will break later, as long as we can take a moment to make a profit, we will have a chance to have many bitcoin, so when the price starts to rally, we can sell it at the highest price.
