6101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Fortune Jack a Scam or are they Legit? on: August 04, 2019, 03:43:44 PM
If you ask me FortuneJack is not a scam and  perfect trusted gambling site.
I have an account at  FortuneJack for many years and I have never faced a single issue. 
If anybody says FortuneJack is a scam then they might have some personal issue which can be resolved by contacting the support.

Nailed it. As they wouldn't also even bother getting their hands dirty just for a 60 USD. This issue won't even last as I can perceive it with my own judgement, if this user is saying the truth then FJ has some technical issues. Nothing serious about it,...

Better ask for help from the Manager who runs their campaign maybe you can get the response you need as soon as possible. You can just send @Hhampuz a private message, but be warned as this person is truly busy so better keep it short, less drama as I for my tip Tongue

I do not think that Campiagn manager can solve the issues related to the FJ site. A manager can only resolve issues which are related to the campaign, so better not mix the both things.

Great video for reference, but even if you invite lottery bettor to watch the video, I don't think they will be come converted and will not bet anymore, they are following their dreams, every bettor is a dreamer and they are betting with their hopes.

I Would suggest opposite of the OP statement. "Why not choose everything else other than the lottery"  Wink
Trust me you will never win in any lottery game. Its better not to play gambling than to play the lottery to lose all of your invested money.

6104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: SUMO WRESTLING is it entertaining? on: August 04, 2019, 09:00:22 AM
The fact is that for every person there is something interesting in a particular sport.  Someone likes football, and someone cannot watch it.  Nevertheless, fans see something interesting in this and that is why even sumo is a very interesting sport for many people who do not even have much weight.  Lol

Some sports are region based and therefore they are not popular worldwide. Same is the case with Somo wrestling which is popular in japan only and therefore we do not see much discussion about it here. Even i think only local Japanese site may having betting for somo wrestling and we do not find any information related to betting on it anywhere else.
6105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling affect your overall lifestyle? on: August 04, 2019, 08:44:18 AM
Gambling can have good and bad effects on our life. It can bring some nice profit and entertainment experience if one knows how to win in gambling and one is aware of pros and cons of gambling. At the same time, for those who do not understand gambling well, it can be a bitter experience for their life.
The good effect that I only see in gambling is that you can be entertained and it can be your stress reliever.

Most of the times, gambling is always bad for the gamblers. They always lose and if they win, they will become greedy until they lose all of their money. Losing your money in gambling can lead to depression and it can change your lifestyle since you are depressed. Better if you not gamble anymore.

Yes, gambling result also change your mood. If you won in gambling you will feel entertained and happy for the rest of the day.
In case of loss, you will be stressed and sad depending upon the amount you lost in gambling and it will definitely effect your other acts in life which normally does not link to gambling like your behavior with your spouse and kids etc.
6106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thoughts on Video game gambling addiction? on: August 04, 2019, 08:31:47 AM
Video games are loaded with aspects of gambling and people of all groups and ages play these games in modern times.  Many games have things like loot boxes that you pay for to random prizes, Runescape has the duel arena where you can gamble gold against one another, and there are many more examples.

People may start off with video games and then eventually move on to higher sums gambling in real casinos.  What are your thoughts on this matter and should anything be done?
I remember tekken. I always find a player in world of fun just to play and bet a game in tekken. Before online games and android games become trend, this is my hobby. I play video games when I was in high school. And I always win in tekken. Anyway, I also play GTA and EA SPORTS before. Those video games completed my childhood memories. I think people who have played much during their teenage years will become aware also in gambling.

Even before the takken, the most popular video game was Street Fighter. I remember when we were young we used to play street fighter a lot. This was the most played game ever. Fifa worldcup was my favorite sports by EA SPORTS although they have developed games for almost every sports game.
None of these games have money involved and hence there was no point of addiction.
6107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is parlay an effective betting strategy? on: August 04, 2019, 08:02:08 AM
I'm never using a parlay, but my friend using its. It's a good option if you only have small capital for the bet, but you got a really good prediction, the prize from parlay was really amazing. My friend successful predict more than 5 games, and he won't more than 1000% from his bet amount. The sucks thing from parlay went you only need 1 more game to be a successful predict, but shit happens coming to you and make you lose. That's was really fucked, went doing a parlay.
That kind of thing often happens for those who like to play Parlay. Sometimes in a bet there are one or two picks that lose even that has low odds and we are sure that the thing will win, it is very sad I think. In Gambling anything can happen even though what we believe is 99% win finally will lose too.
I think parlay is not for people who play it safe, if you do a parlay but the odds are still small, by playing safe like over 0.5 goals, then it's not a good thing. because the risk won't be equal to the profit you will get, at least I will parlay the odds around @5 and above, it will be better.


Parlay is best when the odds are high. If the odds are somewhere around 0.5 or even until 2, it is better to place a separate individual bet. It is definitely not worth it however huge your possible win may be with a much smaller bet. In the end you are still like giving away free money to the betting site. Parlay is for risk-takers who are somewhat certain of his bet. If you are highly uncertain of your prediction, you have to avoid parlay.

The biggest disadvantage of Parlay is that you have to win all the bets in the group and if you lose even 1 bet, you lose everything. I do not recommended this type of gambling in which the risk of losing is too much high.
6108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does hard work in gambling count? on: August 04, 2019, 07:39:42 AM
I am curious to know if someone continually invested a lot of time in studying a game involved in gambling, further if he had played the game a lot to understand the intricacies involved, then can we call him an expert in that gambling game? If we do call him an expert then we clearly differentiate his experience and expertise from that of a novice. This clearly shows that the person is capable of winning more as an expert than the novice who really does not have the in-depth understanding of the play.

This brings us to an interesting question if hard work in gambling really pays off? If one puts in a lot of efforts to understand a game involved in gambling, does it mean that all his time has gone down the drain? Certainly no. If gambling were simply a blind guess or a wild shot then even years of studying it makes it useless because one is simply guessing the outcome blindly. But such is not the scenario with gambling in reality. What makes hard work count in gambling?

This further sets off the question of addiction in gambling. Work can also be an addiction for many. But here the addiction could be for perfecting the game and the art of playing. This kind of addiction is to struggle every time for success by proper calculation and review. However, addiction can also be due to pure greed of winning with no clear knowledge of the game. If hard work counts, then we may actually find a solution for a healthier addiction towards success in gambling.

You cannot get rewarded for studying games in gambling.
Platforms work with different rules and they have different house edges and algorithms behind. So whatever you study and how much time you spend on it, it will never pay back.
Agreed, this is the reason everytime we think about gambling there is always discussion about one of the most important factor named luck. None gets rewarded for learning, but this helps in choosing the better odds and increase the winning chance when we are at the edge of winning.

There is some sort of learning from the gambling also. You should know about the odds and how to play different games like poker etc. What are the different strategies and when to quit etc. In short, Luck will also favor those who has knowledge of gambling.
6109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best solution to handle gambling addition, in a country. on: August 04, 2019, 06:23:56 AM
Actually it so hard to fight gambling addiction like even government do some things about it like high the tax then more about this

Then for me it really depends in the users who do gamble like they need to control themselves because addiction can't control like this is emotion so you need to have limit always everytime you want to gamble

Government can only put taxes on gambling if they allow the gambling in their country. Many countries have declared gambling illegal so they cant charge any taxes on gambling. Gambling addiction cannot be controlled because people gamble anonymously online which is hidden from the government and from the parents also.
6110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Maximum bet amount on single bet! on: August 03, 2019, 08:02:31 AM
I think this forum has lot of regular gambler so I am interested to know how much they ever spend as highest bet amount in very single bet.
I have seen people placing crazy amount of bet size at crypto-games.net. I have seen people betting like 15 BTC with maximum win chance. I know that is crazy but it is true. Just letting you know, each casino restricts the maximum bet size. Usually, it is restricted based on the bankroll of the casino (usually max win is like 10% of the bankroll) or else people would empty out the house in just 1 single bet.

Risking 15 BTC in a single bet is just insane.  When you are not sure that you will win then how can you spent this much big amount in just one time bet.
You should spend small amounts in betting  because in this way if you lose then only a small amount of your money will be lost and you still have many more money to play and recover your losses.
6111  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bounty Manager Salary on: August 03, 2019, 05:52:44 AM
If you look at Bitcoin sig campaign spreadsheet, some of them will give you the details of the manager's salary. It's around $150 a week. But for altcoin bounty, if the manager is not professional, they might get tokens so the real value is unknown. I doubt any good manager would accept that though.

$400 a month is probably the minimum amount you need to hire a decent manager, some of them will request $1000. Depends on the workload and the duration of the campaign too.

Do you have any example of these bounty manager salary being actually paid or is it only an estimate ?
The forum has no fixed recommended amount for bounty manager and it depends upon the manager and the company which is actually hiring the manager. New managers can be hired for very small amount of monoey while the reputed members will charger you good fee.
6112  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can be useful for a troubled economy on: August 02, 2019, 03:52:14 PM
It is necessary to make certain proposals on how Bitcoin can help the economy, and not just speak for or against.  The fact that we have the opportunity to improve our financial condition does not mean that the state will be able to correctly use the opportunities of cryptocurrency to improve its economy and replenish the budget.

Many people say that if we use the bitcoin in their economy that would help the country. I think there should be a plan on it on how can it will help the country's economic position. Only making bitcoin legal will not help the economy.
6113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: if you want to win big...accept defeat on: July 30, 2019, 07:59:01 PM
If you don't want to go bankrupt then accept you losses on gambling it will help you to stop chasing the lost amount and help you to go back home with some money left on your wallet.

Having confidence on something which you don't really influence anything sucks you.

Accepting for what your losses on the gambling are the only solution for you and after that, you should stop gambling and take a rest. You can come back in the other time with a refreshed mind that could help you to get a big win although that is not guaranteed. We see many people/gamblers cannot accept the losses and make them get a high tension because of the amount of the money they are losing. But if they cannot accept the losses, they cannot move on from the losses, and that will be the end for them.
Accept defeat or understand the consequences of the risk of gambling, will make you play without burden. many people use this method so that they dare to use large capital to get greater profits. but of course the risk will be far greater. when you lose of course the total loss will be very large, once again this method is only for people who dare to accept defeat, but of course big rewards and big profit will wait for them

Many people does not realize the damage and the loss, until they actually face the loss. They do not take gambling seriously and think that they cannot lose big in gambling. They only realize that they have lost big amount of money in gambling and its too late then to go back and recover the loses. A lost in gambling is a lost forever and in most cases it is impossible to recover from such loses.
6114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KYC Process (Sportsbook) on: July 30, 2019, 04:39:46 PM
It seems to me that in the near future we will all need to persuade many gamblers in the absence of the danger of providing KYC and that this process will be not only forced, but also the most popular when using not only gambling sites, but also when operating in a cryptocurrency market.

First we need to decide if KYC is absolutely necessary for the gambling sites or not. If it is necessary, then kyc should be made compulsory for all the gambling sites. If you make kyc mandatory in few casino sites and not in others, people will shift to the sites which do not require kyc and hence it will be a disadvantage for the sites where kyc is must.

I think this forum has lot of regular gambler so I am interested to know how much they ever spend as highest bet amount in very single bet.

I usually bet with small amounts and do not risk big amount in gambling. Playing and betting in gambling is very risky and if we invest big amount in a single game it is too much risky. We can lose all of our money in a single bet. Due to this reason i mostly invest with small amounts in gambling.
6116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I don’t share Strategies anymore? on: July 30, 2019, 03:16:45 PM
casinos have intervened in these strategies, they turn this strategy into a trap and attract us to participate in casinos, we become their fat, casinos don't easily become losers, their business is to make money


so strategies did originated from the gambling casinos ? hmmm . thats an interisting fact . good thing that i only tried a couple of strategy and i stop using them now because i feel that im being fooled to loose and to play more but even without a strategy the win rate that i experience is still low though this is better because im not depending on others .  its better if you can stand and play own your own because this makes you a better gambler .


Strategies are made so that the person playing the gambling should win.  They are not made to make the gambling houses in. For this reason it is very much clear that a gambling houses will not develop strategies which will give them losses.
For sure they will bring up such strategies which will eventually fail and they (gambling casino) will win.
6117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sending BTC from Gambling Site to Binance? on: July 30, 2019, 03:11:14 PM
Why not just read the terms and conditions and see? If it's okay for them to accept gambling deposits what about sending deposits to a gambling site from binance ?

There should be no issue in sending the money from Binance to the gambling side or vice versa. Binance should have no problem of where the money is coming from.  Also I think they won't be able to know from where someone have send them the Bitcoin to the binance site.
6118  Economy / Marketplace / Re: $1 Billion Dollar’s Worth of Cryptocurrency Stolen in 2018 on: July 28, 2019, 02:34:05 PM
And we just had a hack again, it was a local Singaporean exchange

https://www.coindesk.com/singapore-exchange-bitrue-hacked-for-over-4-million-in-crypto

But the good thing is that they are going to pay their customers who lost their money in this attack. So the amount is continue to grow in 2019, it's a bit scary to hear the total amounts being lost as of this time that's why we really need to be very very extra careful and not put lots of money in an exchange.

Yeah that's really the sad part, but I agree that they are willing to make a refund to their account holders, similar to what Binance did. I'm not sure though how they did that, maybe it really come out of their pockets or from the profits they got since their inception, but kudos to them.

that is good as well as a repetition of the desk change will increase if they do the refund of the people who were lost their money in this hacking. It is really sad news for the text change hope they will try to recover the refund as soon as possible.
Hope it will not affect more in the the photo currency marketplace.

I don't know if they can recover the lost funds though. As many of you have said, hackers are always one step of this game, so for sure they can let it sit for a while of even used methods to hide their coins from blockchain investigators.

I think they can recover but I don't think that they can do that in a short time because to recover the money it is not hard especially if the hacker has high skills to protect the money. Maybe they need to hire someone who has skills to get the money from them so soon or later, they can get the money back. I think they already have a solution to get the money because they will think about how to give the stolen money to their customer so they will do many ways to get it back.

How can anyone recover money from the hackers especially if they have stolen the Bitcoins funds ?  Money that is lost in the form of Bitcoins and other altcoins can never be recovered because these transactions are not traceable and no one knows who hack the funds and who got all these hacked bitcoins.
6119  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Would you buy a house? on: July 28, 2019, 01:56:58 PM
If you have 5 Bitcoins you can buy a flat in my city.I am not sure what is a country's standard of you and how much the fund you are looking to buy a new house for you.
People who ever loves to utilise Bitcoin as a payment mode I am sure definitely they will utilize it.

Property is also very expensive in my part of the world. However in my country no one will be willing to spend or accept bitcoins to buy a house or a flat.  The main reason for this is that the Bitcoins are not widely used as a payment method in our part of the world and we normally use bitcoin online to buy sell goods.
6120  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Do you want to invest in crypto? on: July 28, 2019, 01:42:23 PM
Yes, I started investing already by buying some stable and promising cryptocurrencies, and I have a plan to hold them for a long period. I think the prices right now are affordable, and you can buy and hold until the market goes green again, and then selling with a good profit.

I hope this is the best time for investing in the Crypto  especially in the altcoins.
However  if anyone wanted to invest in Bitcoins then the best months were January and February this year when the Bitcoin price was $3,000 - 4000$.
