@Viscore. Save your bets for the good games tomorrow hehehe. Playoff teams, Rockets versus the Clippers and the Nuggets versus the Celtics.
Good idea since celtics lost in ot to the clippers so they will be seeking revenge and the rockets will be needing to upset with only scoring 95 against the nuggets. The games last night were predictable anyone having bucks with the over and pelicans mopping up with the fading suns. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

After placing a bet just two hours ago the betslip did not appear under the sportsbook tab like all the other times I have placed a bet on sports. This is probably due to the updates being done on the entire site so wont be concerned about it since it lost anyways. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Will just wait until friday when the completion of their updating and maintenance are done.

^^ No worries. After losing the parlays I had for the rockets to win and over I cashed out. Then what do you know? When getting up in the morning see the price fall horribly. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) So if I won those bets I wouldnt have the 9% I would have lost if I waited until this morning. Just wagered in total 0.00297btc on the game anyways so $25 last night but looking at it now it was less than $20 currently. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Doesnt sting as much as it did and is funny how it all worked out. But back to the games tonight. With only two games tonight best not to bet if the variety is not there and you feel forced to bet on teams you are not familiar with their play and analysis of the teams opponents. Best to wait until a team(s) you are comfortable betting on is scheduled to play.

Kawhi and Paul George will be available for the Clippers. Can they beat the spread -7 versus Boston, however? I reckon it might be a very close fight between the 2.
My confirmed bets are the Nets -2 1st half, Rockets 1st half moneyline and Raptors -4 full game.
Woah! Kawhi along with George atlast... Plus on a match against Celtics will be interesting to watch. I am getting a smell with high score here... I have parlay with selections Bulls 3rd Quarter, Rockets (ML), Raptors(ML) and Celtics +13.5. You already hit 2 out of 4, Rockets just have to win and then Celtics to cover so you will get this parlay. Thus far, Rockets doesn't look good as they as they were down by 12 points now, 88-76 is the score currently. Nope. Rockets were a wash today as they couldnt hit a three if their lives depended on it. Actually all teams tonight forgot how to shoot. Just look at how the clippers are playing. Both teams only had less than 25 points in each quarter so far.

Can I ask , what do you guys think about Dallas - GSW tonight on NBA ? I see GSW has a "shady" odd of 13 and I know they miss all the key players in order to have a win , but giving them a 13 odd when they play with Dallas where the only superstar they have is a 20 year old Luka Doncic ( which for sure its the next Lebron , that is without a doubt ) but still.... . I can easily see a close game here followed by a tight win of GSW as its now or never for them in order to try to catch that last spot of play-offs.
You guessed wrong totally on this prediction to even assume a curry&greenless warriors team could even compete with the likes of what doncic is doing in dallas. He scored 22 points in the first quarter and once reaching 31 points scored as much of the entire warriors team did at one point. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The odds of 13 for the golden state team which looked like a globetrotters team tonight were being kind to them. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif)

^^ Havent had it at 225 when I placed my bet and might I remind I placed a combination bet with the win and it going over so the lines are different. The pick stadus was 223 but this was yesterday when he placed it and as it gets closer to game time those lines will always change no matter who the provider of the odds will be. It always depends on the status report on who will be starting and if there is an injury update the game starts. These can all affect the odds closer the game is about to begin. I am sticking on my over 221.5 as I have placed three different betslips with it going atleast over 220 with the rockets being hot right now as a team. Good luck to us all who are betting tonight. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

From what everyone is saying the vip members have received their prelaunch introduction email to the sportsbook. I now see a symbol for the sportsbook with a soccer ball. So it looks as if it is working now! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks stake for the week preview before it launches to the public. Yes!! It will be closed to just VIP's for at least the rest of the week. Let us know what you think ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) AH damn!! I wish I was a VIP now. Normally, I don't really feel like VIP is something I would really want considering I don't spend too much money and time on gambling like the VIP's do and they deserve it but I have been waiting for the sportsbook for so long. Well if they got it and we are just one week away (hopefully) that means all we gotta do is wait for another week. Meanwhile FM2020 is out and anyone who loves soccer and sportsbooks probably is already deep into FM2020 already, a whole week of playing it would probably get me to my third season and then I can start actually betting on the games. Do we know who you guys working with on your odds? Is it personal and you make it or is it working with a company like pinnacle (or was it pineapple? I forgot)? Getting vip is worth it with some perks now offered especially with the sportsbook. They send emails out more frequently with specials they have on sports matches. Such as the current one for the clippers vs celtics during tomorrows match for a cash back event/promotion sent out today. Managed to get a high odds ticket to win on my second bet using it. I think the most I ever had on a betslip before using this sportsbook site was 15.00x odds. So this is a major win even if I used low stakes wagered on it. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FWxHspWz%2FClipboard04.jpg&t=663&c=8JFhPeZlNkaC7w) They site seems lucky to me. The sportsbook part of it anyways. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

A long time ago when greta just made landfall in the states to spread her word of for shame for shame ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) somebody in this thread mentioned her ancestors inbreeding was the result of a greta being born. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Now from that photo it is scientifically proven this is the case.

Who did you have on your parlay for today in nba action? If it was gsw then you might have the win covered. With 68+ odds you got to have one of the unfavored teams to win. Either Okc over lakers or Gsw over Mem. These two teams are exact opposites of each other in golden state being 2-11 and lakers 11-2 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) One of them has got to lose/win sometime. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I forgot to link a screenshot to my bet but basically i had all four games - winner + o/u. If we break it down to 8 separate bets i'd be 5 and 3, could've possibly been 6-2, if i wasn't too biased about Melo (huge fan). The only game that i completely missed was GSW, i had them lose again and 8 straight with over. They end up winning in Memphis with the under. Memphis Grizzlies & over 221.5, Portland Trail Blazers & under 231.5 @ 4.32, Sacramento Kings & over 217.5 @ 3.10, Los Angeles Lakers & over 210.5 @ 2.05 - screen. The portland game had alot of people tricked into thinking they were going to run away with the game due to a brand new player to the team starting. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) I was thinking of that happening cause they usually need to get the feel of their new team and cant expect them to carry the game for them without any chemistry first. That is alot of pressure on one person to bear and was probably the reason why he didnt get good stats for his first game. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) This is why I went with the under instead cause I didnt know how it was going to play out completely. Lakers almost did lose with a minute left to go the thunder were only down by 4 and the okc coach decides to take out their best player who was on fire the entire game for the final 2 minutes. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Schroder could of won the game for okc and not sure why he isnt in the starting lineup is beyond me. I like houston winning tonight as they are on a hot streak and with capela/harden duo they are difficult to surpress when they are like this. Going with stadus win and the over on this one! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) -snip- You are right, so hit that over as this game could possibly end up over 223. -snip-
update just made a bet on rockets and over. The combined bet had over 221.5pts which according to stadus points table of their past three games seem to be achievable quite easily with both teams to be high scoring.

Yes!! It will be closed to just VIP's for at least the rest of the week. Let us know what you think ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) How are our VIP's enjoying early access to the Sportsbook? 😍
Actually won the first ticket I put in on the new sportsbook! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) I was pleasantly surprised since they werent easy picks for low odds with favorite selections on the games which are usually taken for a solid win. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2Fc1kKQyd%2FClipboard03.jpg&t=663&c=VqMiMedKMk2S_w)

^ Yeah update on Lillard's status was posted minutes before my post, thought i should give you a heads up if you haven't placed your bet yet. Okafor and Lonzo won't play for NO, but Melo will be in the starting lineup for POR (he will probably have minutes restriction though).
As for today, i've put together a little 4-game parlay (winner + o/u) with 68.63 total odds. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) haha Yesterday i was one goal away (soccer) of nailing 21 odds parlay, maybe today's the day. lol Who did you have on your parlay for today in nba action? If it was gsw then you might have the win covered. With 68+ odds you got to have one of the unfavored teams to win. Either Okc over lakers or Gsw over Mem. These two teams are exact opposites of each other in golden state being 2-11 and lakers 11-2 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) One of them has got to lose/win sometime. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Tonight I like the Pelicans ML and Suns ML but no parlay as I'm sick of one team messing it up for me.
New Orleans Pelicans is currently having lots of injured players which the most was part of their main lineup. It might not be a problem but still, it will lessen their offensive power. Just do hope for them to spoil the possible return and debut of Carmelo Anthony. About the Suns, 3 of their key players are questionable and likely will be out. Hard to catch up with the Sacramento Kings with an incomplete squad. Your bet is currently in a tough situation but a good return once you win them both. Thanks for the heads up on telling of a well wounded new orleans team. I knew about williamson but not of the other major players on their team such as favors and ball. Havent watched a pels game since the beginning of this season. As of now in the fourth it looks as if carmelo anthony signing was all hype with not much payoff. He had 4 fouls before the half.

Next coach of Spurs can be Mou, there is any site where is already possible to bet on the next coach?
Rumours on Mou are all over the twitter.
Yeah while watching the euro qualifying tourney at halftime this was the headliner and not the score of the game which were being played. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) They even posted the title Tottenhams next permanent manager odds - Jose mourinho 1-6 Rafa benitez 8-1 Carlo Ancelotti 9-1 Eddie howe 12-1 Julian nagelsmann 16-1 Massimiliano allegri 18-1 Brendan rodgers 20-1 Chris wilder 33-1 Most of the news outlets which caught this story are going with the favorite and saying jose will get the job before their next game.

I admire the courage in what the Australians did against such a policy and this is exactly what other crypto enthusiasts in other countries should mimick in case the governments make such rules in our various countries. Remember when the inhabitants of the country rises governments reason up with their proposals and policies. We need to stand up and fight for our rights with respect to our finances.
It is a global issue and not just facing the people of australia but you are right with them not giving in to the banking system. In them telling their customers what to do with their own funds and what they can spend it on. I do think the banks are scared in not knowing what to do when it comes to cryptocurrenies. They view it as a threat to what their corporate foundation stood for these many years and cant cope with how to handle it so they just outright ban anything to do with it in disregard to the point of keeping even their long standing customers in the process. Which I find it absurd for any viable institution such as the banking system to continue operating this way when it comes to a new technology competing with the way they run their business.

I dont see why a product to work with googlepay a completely different way to access nominal value of a currency has anything to do with the other. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Samsung pay which might I remind has tried to create their own crypto based currency in the past and had finally given up. But will just come out with a multicrypto wallet instead in trying to do the same thing. Announcement of this was not the reason to make the price go up nor down at the time so it wast seen as an underlying factor. So news of this shouldnt either. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif)

what I found surprising is non-vip members in the sportsbets chat , some of them talking nonsense ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) how on Earth did they manage to get there without invites? probably check for potential chat exploits I think it is because all users are able to access the chatroom as the chatroom is open to public so non VIP users are able to chat on that chatroom. No need to care of those who talk nonsense as long as they are not spamming then I think it is OK. I'm not really sure if there can be potential chat exploits as there is no benefits to chat there unless there are many promotions on the chat like rainbot, trivia, etc. The sportsbook chat room comes up only after clicking on the sports icon labelled as a soccer ball which appears if you have the access given to your account before it launches. It shows up as sports channel under chat and has english and russian so far. From following the main chatroom for the past week I noticed some non vip member accounts received access to the sportsbook under trial basis. So it was probably given by the owner for them to try it out first. These same users also said they received a $10 coupon along with it to use towards their accounts. This I can not verify as it is just chatter from the chatroom. ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) But I do recall stake giving out these coupons towards new users to the platform for trying out the site a while ago.

One day, I think to myself about how to spreads bitcoin to other people. After I create threads https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5191717.0, I see many of us don't try or don't have time to come into a gathering or make a meetup. So how we can introduce bitcoin to local people in our country if we are not trying to tells them about bitcoin? I know that will related to the regulations in every countries but we can introduce to our close friend so they will spread it into their closest friends too. And if this is succeed, I think cryptocurrency will grow step by step. I know we can spread bitcoin online, but that doesn't mean all people in your country are aware of bitcoin. How they can know bitcoin if they never use the internet to search the news while we can tell them about bitcoin and another coin by offline. Seeing your question on how we can get others who are not inclined to take on the challenges they would think are associated with using bitcoin got me to think back on a post I saw while looking at another thread. Which I thought would be the best way to get people to interact about it without actually being scared to get involved using it first. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg53085269#msg53085269![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FFYsfcJP%2Fip-bitcointalk-org.jpg&t=663&c=lELfyoGqIjxR0A) Atleast it would get the conversation going for those who are willing to want to know about it and not feel they are being advertised too. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The first move with be on them whether they want to get involved in cryptocurrency or not.

The only thing which is offsetting to me are the progress bars which zips beneath the upcoming selections for the day. Although they are there to show when the next promotion splash screen are going to be shown. These might have the player think the site is loading or the odds are changing. Other than that I think you have a good product ready to launched in a weeks time! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I do remember sometime last year this being news about them accepting cryptocurrency. But only remember them mentioning verge & tron. After a year has pumapay really taken off? Havent used them or heard of any other platforms accepting them to be honest. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) The real news is paypal distancing itself from this media provider. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) They seem to want to clean up their image to be a family friendly payment system. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
