Thanks!

Thanks. It's been a very long while since I played slots or similar games. If the "info" button is now the standard, that's great to hear. I think every reputable site should have such information displayed.


I think the subject of HE was mostly (or only) discussed in the dice-type game threads. Those games would do pretty well in terms of transparency. Even if the HE was not explicitly stated, you could easily calculate it from the odds, that were always disclosed.


I think I know, but not 100% sure, as that was years ago, so prefer not to say as I could be wrong and give the site an undeserved bad publicity.

What kind of opportunities are you talking about exactly? And what is the proper way of using Bitcoin?
Note that OP is talking about reducing poverty on a macro level, not about individuals getting rich from trading Bitcoin.

The sad truth is that Bitcoin currently is not fit to be used for anything other than trading/speculation (and maybe for transfers of large amounts of wealth).

I agree with your general thought, but you phrased your post a little bit weirdly. I don't think anyone would argue that casinos/gambling sites are forcing them to make bets against their will. So you're essentially stating the obvious - people who consider themselves addicted, don't feel like they have control over it.
But I think the "lack of control" over one's actions is mostly an excuse. We are more than animals driven by instincts, everyone has the ability to develop self-discipline and take back control over their lives, even if it can be hard sometimes.

Realistically, if not Chandler, who else can he fight?
It's a simple logic really, he'll either manage to return to a proper shape or not. If he does - he should be able to give a good fight against Chandler and possibly win it, given Chandler represents a style that suits McGregor's counterstriking. If he doesn't, he would likely lose any fight, even against low-ranked fighters, which would probably mark the end of his career (whether losing to Chandler could still be excused).
And given it could be his last fight, he needs to fight some big name to get that PPV sales up and earn decent pay for himself.


Given the long period of inactivity, the injury, and the comedian role he decided to play recently - I find it hard to imagine Costa being laser-focused and highly motivated. Then again, it's hard to say how big of a mental impact the loss to Du Plessis has had on Whittaker. Both will have a lot to prove in that fight, which makes it extra interesting.

Not to say that gambling addiction is not a problem, but you're exaggerating a lot here. You make it sound like everyone who ever gets involved in soccer betting will inevitably lose all their money.
You might be fighting a good fight here, but, luckily, most gamblers can keep it under control and know where to draw a line.
Personally, I'd only bet when I see a good opportunity, i.e. where I think the odds are misplaced.

Nah, they know better than that. As much as they were almost entirely anti-bitcoin in its early years, currently, they would mix the negative and (somewhat) positive articles about BTC/crypto. They cannot go on an open crusade against it, as that would make them look silly and unprofessional. By now, it's pretty obvious that crypto is not some sort of short-lived fad and it's here to stay.
Case in point: yesterday's article "Bitcoin leaves the rest of the crypto market behind" https://www.ft.com/content/5160b007-5e68-423d-8a6c-a0fdef6199f4

This is nothing new, Aljo stated that he wanted to move up to the featherweight before his fight with O'Malley. Obviously, the plan was to defeat O'Malley and fight Volk after that. But ass that didn't work out too well, he will now face No. 7 contender instead.
I'm not sure why he wants to move up. Possibly it's the difficulty of cutting weight, but more likely - money, There's more going on in the featherweight than the bantamweight, more bigger names and therefore better earning opportunities.

Thanks for starting this topic. Even though those odds can vary between casinos, it's good to at least have some idea of what to expect from each type of game.
Personally, I think there should be a legal requirement (or just a good custom) to display odds for any type of game, especially online ones. It's crazy to think how many players don't even care about the odds and would only focus on the entertainment side (flashy animations etc).
I remember enquiring to the customer service of one of the crypto-casinos years ago about the house edge for some of their slot-type game (if I remember correctly) and not only the customer service could not give me an answer - they didn't even know what the house edge was.

Sure, Bitcoin is not some magic pill that would solve all the economic problems only if people start using it - it could actually be the opposite: too many people using it = even more congested blockchain making it unusable. But the protection against inflation aspect is not something to be taken lightly. I don't think people truly realise how destructive high inflation is to the common people. It can wipe out the value of lifetime savings in a very short time. It's like a tax being charged over and over again on the same amount with no limits. So having a censorship-free tool that allows preservation of wealth (or even increases it if the market moves in the right direction) could at least prevent poor people from getting even poorer.

Why though? You don't need to risk millions to be able to win millions. As in the bet in the OP, it's possible to win bigger money with a relatively small stake.
It's a well-known strategy, play only with what you can afford to lose, say $100 each month, make a parlay bet with a high payout rate, if you win, do it few more times until you're a millionaire. Chances might be slim, but still better strategy than playing lotto.

Heh. tak przypuszczałem. Policjanci są rozliczani z wykrywalności przestępstw, dlatego nie dziwi mnie że starali się maksymalnie zniechęcić cię od dokonania oficjalnego zgłoszenia. Wymagania co do udowodnienia że BTC nie pochodziło z nielegalnych źródeł czy straszenie Urzędem Skarbowym są z tyłka wyjęte.

Zgłoszenie prawdopodobnie nic by ci nie dało, ale gdyby zdarzyło się że jakimś cudem uda ci się namierzyć złodzieja, to ciężko ci będzie odzyskać BTC skoro kradzież nie została zgłoszona.

But it's not confirmed that Shavkat will be fighting Leon next, is it? If not, Islam could fight say Gaethje next and then Leon straight after. I'm sure Leon wouldn't mind waiting a bit as, unlike a fight with Rakhmonov, that would be a big money fight.
And the UFC could match up Rakhmonov with Belal, and whoever wins will get the next title shot.
Seeing Islam Vs Shavkat would be amazing, but I'm not sure if Islam would still want to move if Shavkat was the champion. Clearly, he sees Leon as an easy opponent.


I'll say yes, but there are plenty of other fights I prefer to see instead. I consider Conor effectively retired, he has a completely different energy than he had in his prime. This will probably be a deciding fight for him, if he gets defeated easily by Chandler, I don't think he'll step into the octagon ever again. Chandler will be a big favourite, but I've heard some commentators saying that out of all the top fighters in the lightweight, Chandler's style suits Conor the most.

I'm a bit more optimistic about that, I think the majority of people who grew up with access to video games developed some control mechanisms to prevent them from falling too deep into playing. They had no choice really, they had all the games available but also had other responsibilities and probably noticed first-hand all the negative sides of spending too much time playing.
Of course there are plenty of people who failed to develop enough self-control to keep healthy limits. Also, the gaming/gambling industries are known to use psychologists to produce games that are as addictive as possible, which is an ugly side of this business and it makes it harder to fight back.

Oh for sure, having an extra $18k is a nice boost and could be used for a lot of useful things (e.g. a deposit to buy a property, or for education fees etc).
But if he wanted to put it (or just some of it) back in the play, he wouldn't be aiming for another x1,000 but for something much more modest. Probably doing another x20 could earn him enough to retire, considering the average monthly salary in the Philippines is only around $330 (per Google search).

Hard to say if it's good or bad. I agree that it's probably not good news, as they won't be moving forward without access to proper expertise. But then again, them "moving forward" could mean more strict regulations, so who knows?
I don't think this would affect Bitcoin though, it's probably more about coins/tokens with more complex blockchains and utility.

There's also a risk that, being unable to recruit proper experts, they will take on board whoever's available, creating a risk of some stupid, unreasonable decisions/interpretations.

Thanks a lot. Moving up would be a good move. I'm sure he would get the title shot against Leon straight away, that's unless the UFC did not approve the move and wanted him to stick to the lightweight only.
Looking at things from his perspective, he dedicated all his life, including childhood, to fighting and probably wants to achieve greater things than just having one fight a year. He's in his prime and this is the time to make a push to build a legacy.
I think he should be fighting Gaethje next, then move up to fight Leon then pick the best fights in either weight class.
I have my doubts if he would make the cut for the featherweight, that could be a bit too much for him, but it would be great to see him against Topuria, who, I think, has a big chance of de-troning Volk.


That's pretty bad if true. It raises a question if the UFC should be introducing some psychiatric screening for the fighters. Hope he gets his head sorted.

Mocno optymistyczny scenariusz ale jak najbardziej możliwy. Szczególnie przy obecnych, idiotycznie wysokich opłatach za transakcje, wielu ludzi pewnie wstrzyma sie z transferami z prywatnych portfeli do giełd, co może nieco obniżyć strone podaży.


Przykro słyszeć, taka strata na pewno mocno zabolała. Ale chyba masz bardziej na myśli wykradzenie prywatnego klucza, niż jego złamanie?
Z ciekawości - zgłaszałeś to na policję czy uznałeś że nie warto? Jeśli tak, to jak to się potoczyło? Podjęli jakiekolwiek działania czy na przyjęciu zgłoszenia się zakończyło?

Na pewno warto śledzić, szanse na odzyskanie nie są wielkie ale nigdy nie wiadomo.
