Are you talking about FIFA World Cup Women. I doubt that many people would be interested betting on it.


you would be surprised of how many people actually interested in betting these , not sure about freebitcoin players tho
I have a sportsbetting telegram group where people post their betslips and predictions and I'm 100% sure that the people there bet the women event way more than they are betting Copa America ( the group has around 1900 members )  Cheesy


I do not know about this but dont you think women is pretty hard to predict? I do not even know they have a superstar like messi or ronaldo there. Even if there is one, I believe this will be overpower to other teams. But what I saw, women event sure is a boring game, yet I still saw many of them do the bets. Is there a good reason to bet on this game?

I only bet on matches which i watch myself and have interest in the sports. Since women sports are less popular than men sports therefore we find that betting is more on men's sports as compare to women sports.

Without signature promotions, Stake.com has still been a big gambling site. If a site can survive well over years, especially after the last terrible bearish year, it will be able to survive thoroughly such small thing (signature campaign halt). I don't understand why after the Stake.com team and manager (SteveStake) decided to eliminate lots of previous participants, and only remained high quality posters in the last week of that campaign, there were still complaints and attacks, that force Stake.com to decide closing the campaign. I believe the forum community will miss Stake.com's signature, and avatar a lot.

In my opinion, the removal of the signature campaign would not make that much of a difference. Both, Stake & PD are well established and well known and it might just be that the signature campaign is not longer worth the investment especially, when they have such a respectable number of people playing their games.

Although stake.com is an established and most popular gambling site but promoting a gambling site here is always beneficial. No matter how good and popular the site / business is , they always need new customers to keep expanding their business. As we know this is the biggest gambling discussion platform and having a signature campaign means you will always get new people to your site. But for everything to be successful, they need to start a good campaign, not like a previous Sig campaign which had a lot of criticisms.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of greed. Those who bought and are holding at ranges 13-20k had the mindset of selling to recoup or even break even once price reaches those price points again. i have a feeling many of these peoples mindset will revert back to their pre purchase mentality. Hop on board and hodl as the eco system has changed and more belief in btc has come into fruition.

Those who bought in the ranges of 13k and above must have sold their bitcoins in loss. There might be very few people who have such a holding power and a mental strength to hold the coins for over a year and still not panic seeing bitcoin moving down to 3000$.
6204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dont be dumb gamblers on: June 23, 2019, 03:20:31 AM
My friend recently get scammed by a gambling site which he found by continuously browsing. On internet. Sorry but even he cant remember the name so i cant tell you but here's what you wouldnt do. He said he was searching about how cryptocurrency gambling work. He is much aware about bitcoin but not about using it for gambling. He find some "yellow botton" he said which offers gambling for newbies and the rest is history. Goodbye $200 . yes thats kinda bit small but should you wait that it happened to you with a bigger amount? Here's what you would do.
1. Dont click and browse non recognized site to avoid phishing.
2.. Always ask first the people on this forum whether the site is legit or not.
3. Dont put too much money on that site so if ever its really a scam, the amount it can get is minimal.
4. If it looks really legit, try some few games with few bets at first.

Being cautious costs less than not being aware at all. Dont let our greediness and dumbness takes over our financial life. Be safe people.

If he got scam of that sites, then saying goodbye to that ammount $200. Its already a big amount to bet like a newbie,  then if its true that he got scam but why he easly forgot that sites, it is imposible to forget easly.How he will be aware to that sites next time if he forget that site, Then, its important to give review frist the sites before you deposit & play online gambling. because there's a lot of scam sites.

Sometimes people do not understand the advice until they are the victim of it. You friend did not follow any security measure and not even remember the site name is the height of irresponsibility. But now since he has actually lost his money, he will be very much careful in the future. This si the story of majority of people who are careless and do not care about good advises which the experienced people are giving.

I think that it's almost impossible to quit a strong addiction all alone. Addicted person truly needs someone to overcome it otherwise there's a huge risk of even more problems.
Everyone who was drowning in addiction already will always need someone to help them. It is so rare to see someone who can pull up themselves when they were drowning already in addiction. It takes a lot of courage to come back the way what their life was before that's why people who have an addiction problem basically need a good friend or a family to help and guide them to slowly stop the addiction.

I believe sometimes the addiction in gambling is good if a person is wining in gambling and this addiction makes him play more excessive gambling.
On the other hand, this addiction can also ruin your money and unfortunately there is no returning back if you lost most of your amount in gambling.
6206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler was being robbed on: June 22, 2019, 07:07:34 PM
Recently, a Korean National has been robbed here in my place while riding the Taxi going home and lose the money that he won in the casinos, Its around 4Million Pesos or $75,000. This is not new in gambling industry since many incidents like this before. Do you ever think its a real accident or its just an inside job where the employees of casinos are involve or the casino itself?

This is a once in a lifetime opportunities to become a millionaire, and yet it is being taken easily by a more greedy people. Now I’m wondering if its still safe to go to casinos or better to play online? What’s your thought about this?

Here’s the link for your reference (it’s not translated in english but I’ve already share the summary of this news):
https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/balitambayan/balita/679284/koreanong-nanalo-ng-p4m-sa-casino-hinoldap-sa-pasay/story/


this is why i hate winning money at the casinos, you feel total paranoid checking everywhere on you way out and back home. you cant trust anyone and you never know if the have some kind of scouts inside the casino just looking for targets to robb.

Ensure when you have big money you call somebody to bring car for you and have few friends who can drop you safely as their are people who look to rob and make money from you . So better to go safely by ask from known people .

Its just insane if anyone walks out of casino with $75,000 worth of money in his pocket.
Sometime i feel this story is self made as a person who has won such a big amount should not be dump to be so careless with his attitude. Huh
6207  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin back to 5 digits - Congratulations everyone! on: June 22, 2019, 04:44:39 PM
On this very moment I'm typing, I'm glad to share this that BTC is now par $10k and we've entered the new rally towards $15k and more. I wish all those genuine hodlers the taste of success they were waiting for while hodling BTC and feel extremely sorry for those who sold down under $3500 or more but less than half of $10k under the pressure of lots of FUD and panic waves that went throughout the whole year of 2018 (except its beginning).

I believe we are all set for a huge rally, get your seat belts on guys.

If bitcoin crosses 15K, then for sure we will see bitcoin to move near 20K or more. I do not think there will be much resistance after 15K and bitcoin will fly freely after in crosses 15000$. All this is due to the anticipation of Bakkt platform going live soon (https://www.bakkt.com/index) ?

Bitcoin hits 10K, where next
I guess now 10k euros price and then just grind slowly further Tongue
Violent turbulence right now... From +$11k to ~$10650 in few minutes.
Volatility at its best - meanwhile still in +€9k Tongue

The bitcoin is moving very quick and there is too much volatility in it. I do not think it will sustain above 10 or 12K for long time. The more you do up quickly, the higher the chances of dump. From history, we know it is not possible for bitcoin to keep moving up and up without any correction.
6209  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin prices skyrocket thanks to Facebook on: June 21, 2019, 06:20:00 PM
The latest monitoring shows that the price of Bitcoin is above USD 9,200 per chip. The increasing crypto currency value is in line with its market capitalization which also jumped to USD 163 billion,

It's been a while since the digital currency posted that value. The last time Bitcoin had a price above USD 9,000 occurred in May 2018, or more than a year ago.

Investigating, the presence of Facebook's digital currency has contributed to controlling the value of Bitcoin. Some investors say the social networking plan is encouraging people to buy Bitcoin. This shows optimism for the increasingly widespread application of cryptocurrency in the mainstream financial system.

Not long ago, Facebook was rumored to be launching its digital currency on June 18. That date is much faster than the previous news that said that they would only launch digital currency globally by 2020.

Later, the digital currency which is called to be called stablecoin can be an option for Facebook employees as a form of payment of their salaries. In addition, the company made by Mark Zuckerberg also targets the currency to be used in developing countries where many residents still do not have bank accounts.

Libra coin (The facebook coin) is not the main reason of bitcoin prices to skyrocket. The bitcoin price is increasing because baktt platform is very near to launch and bitcoin volume can increase to a greater extent which may make bitcoin prices to rise very high. Facebook coin has its own significance and bitcoin price has nothing to do with it.
6210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After ICO, the tokens sank in price. Why? on: June 16, 2019, 05:15:14 PM
As a rule, most blockchain- projects that have collected tens of millions of dollars for ICO, issue tokens on the exchange without real production growth.
What does it mean?

For a coin to be successful there has to be a use case for it. Without any practical use, only the hype and news cannot make the coin valuale in the long run. Most ICO coins have no real use case and are made to collect money only from the investors.
6211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The main factors pushing the ICO market down on: June 16, 2019, 04:16:11 PM
1. Revaluation of the current project cost in the ICO phase
2. Inflationary factor, a large percentage of tokens not participating in the distribution
3. The project and the Team do not have significant incentives for development, money is received — you can relax.

People invest in ico because they think they will buy cheap coin and the ico team will work on the project team to make the coin valuable.
But when an ICO is made to only collect money from the people and forget about the project afterwards people will lose interest in the ico. Unfortunately this is being done by more than 90% of the ico and that's the biggest reason of ico market being down.
6212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook’s Global Coin Is A Threat to Bitcoin Cash, BCH Down 3.7% on: June 16, 2019, 04:00:20 PM
  • BCH down 3.7 percent
  • Facebook’s Global coin will disrupt public chains like Bitcoin cash

Because of Facebook’s broad base and active users exceeding 2 billion, the Global coin is an existential threat to Bitcoin Cash. Currently, BCH is consolidating against the USD, down 3.7 percent.

Many many trader say Facebook's global coin is a threat for Bitcoin cash

What do you think?


I do not think that facebook coin will be a threat to any coin. Yes, there will be a big hype as facebook is a biggest social media but it will hard to know how will the facebook coin be of any use to the facebook users. I do not see any use case of facebook coin and therefore it may not be successful in the long term.
6213  Economy / Marketplace / Re: $1 Billion Dollar’s Worth of Cryptocurrency Stolen in 2018 on: June 16, 2019, 03:27:57 PM
I think cryptocurrency does not yet have specific legislation to protect assets of consumer . People mainly exchange through community trust and support. We should still be careful with our assets.

Since crypto currency is not legalized, there is no insurance of crypto assets. No one takes the responsibility of the crypto assets and any loss is the lose of the individual. If crypto is ever regularized , only then we may see that our loses may be covered. There will be lot less scams exits of exchanges because exchange will only operate if they will provide some sort of assurance that in case of any hack they will compensate their users.
6214  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin dashing towards $10k or more on: June 16, 2019, 12:13:12 PM
https://btcgrinders.com/blog/Bitcoin-Trading-Analysis

Our experts currently suggest going long on Bitcoin which currently sits at approximately $9200. A good price point to exit would be $10,000. If you want to get a bit adventurous, you may even set your exit point at $10,500 or $11,000......

Everyone knows that bitcoin will take a correction once it reach the 10,000$. This is best point where we can do short on bitcoin in case we are trading at bitmex. People will sell at/around 10K because they will take profit.
6215  Economy / Speculation / Re: June 2019 - Bitcoin hits 10K, where next on: June 16, 2019, 11:57:17 AM
As of today Bitcoin gained sharply in price reaching two years high crossing the barrier of $10 K. What price do you think Bitcoin would achieve in this bull run? Would it be over 20K or below?

Bitcoin did not touch 10K yet on any exchange. It might touch 10K in few days from now but i do not think it can sustain above 10K for long. Bitcoin has a strong resistance near 10K and it may be badly rejected as soon as we reach near 10K. But nothing is certain now. I will suggest to convert your bitcoins into usd near 9900$ and later buy back them cheap near 8800$.
6216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: HAVE YOU EVER MET ANY SUCCESSFUL GAMBLER on: June 16, 2019, 11:32:16 AM
I have never found a successful gambler so far, all I know is that being a gambler does not guarantee success and if you only get a little victory, it might happen but it won't make you successful.
most gamblers will eventually lose everything if they continue to play it and are only obsessed with the desire to be successful.
That is how the gambling designed as,if someone found doing gambling for long term the chances of having lot of saving in their account is less.

So what can be the success from gambling,money or fun?
Maybe main purpose of a lot of people is money. That is why success in gambling maybe people will said if that person be really rich because of gambling. But for others, make fun of gambling and play without pressure is something that they want to achieve too.

Yes, we still saw the people reason for playing gambling is because of money. They want to win the money from gambling by playing so many games, but some of them do not realize that winning the games in gambling is not easy and they need to spend much money, and they must have the luck to win.

Its hard to make money from gambling and therefore it is hard to find the successful gamblers. But if we try to find out the successful gambling casino they are plenty of them.
Its a bitter truth that most of the gamblers are at a loss and only a few have tasted the overall profit from their portfolio.

I'm suggesting some gambling sites which hopefully benefit everyone. Those who are looking for safer and trustworthy sites are hoping to benefit from this post. All these sites are popular and probably the Fair Sites. Hopefully, my recommended sites will be working for those who are looking for good and popular sites.

Bet365    :-  https://www.bet365.com/
Stake      :-  https://stake.com/
Betway    :-  https://betway.com/
Primedice :- https://primedice.com
Cloudbet  :- https://www.cloudbet.com/en/

Thank You
Hmmm it seems like what I've been seeing about sportsbet.io is true since you didn't mention them on your list. I have been seeing some people that complained that sportsbet.io never paid them their huge winnings, instead they will block (I only saw a few people that said this). But a lot of review sites I see when I research on Google always mention Sportsbet as one of the best betting sites. Most of them even put them as the number one, while CloudBet is then placed at number two position.

I would suggest you to stay away from sportsbet because they have some issues. Although they do pay you but they hold your amount in case of larger wins and this makes them a bit fishy. This has been told by few players who actually play at sportsbet.  You can use clouldbet or onehash for sports betting.
6218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dont be dumb gamblers on: June 16, 2019, 06:18:36 AM
This story from OP sounds stranges, he doesn't even know the name of the gambling site. I would like you always do some research on a site before I was sending them any money.
When some one want only money into his pocket, he was lazy to research first
~~
In gambling it can happen too if you go and play in the first casino you find online without doing research first or seeing reviews and feedbacks about the casino.

Thanks for your clarification, i think the first thing for any gambler to do before embarking on gambling should be do a research on the casino before gamble or in the same vain check their feedback for clarification either to gamble with them or not to. Haven't seen much greediness among gamblers except from the amateur ones which cannot be said that, gamblers are dumb.

I'm afraid to admit that most of the gamblers are really dumb. Having told them so many time of not to be greedy and never play with emotions and do not go all in, they never listen. They do all these mistakes and then when they make a big loss they start crying and say bad things about the gambling. They do not realize that most of the loses in gambling are due to our greediness and mistakes.
6219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: June 16, 2019, 05:52:23 AM
actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.
Yes this is not as easy as said. The conflict between what your mind thinks and what your heart wants to have is full of ambiguity and you are always the victim of uncertainties. In gambling, it is important to have certain boundaries and limits and only then there could be some way to get out of the game full of lust. One should think about trading rather than getting into gambling.
IMO, in trading you are not in total control of our money as trades are controlled by whales while in gambling, it is you that have the key but it is also very important though that you should put limit in everything that we do. Everything in excess i think is dangerous, applicable also to gambling so be discipline when you gamble.

How can you say that in trading everything is control of whales and not us ? Trading is far safer than gambling.
You invest in gambling and the very next second you can lose all of your money.  In trading even if you are at loss, holding the coins can make you recover the loss. Also if you are professional trader you will never be in a loss.
6220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did anyone try to beat the household? on: June 16, 2019, 05:39:04 AM
Household means?

I really do not understand the question of him. Is he saying that beating the hodl fund on investing towards gambling or something other than that. Could some one explain it what it is?

OP meant to ask is there is a way we can beat the house ?  Household is not any term and i think it is used in place of a houseedge. Smiley

Normally we see that gambling casino claims that they have only 1% house edge but that is enough for them to make the earning and make us loss.
The trick behind this is the logic. For example you play a game with 0.1 btc. In case of win you have get 2% ,5% , 10$% profit but in case of loss, you will lose the whole 0.1 btc. This is why we cannot win in gambling in the longer term.
