6301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japan as the Next Big Destination for iGaming Operators? on: May 10, 2019, 05:28:57 PM
I'm not Japanese but let me just share my thoughts. It's very weird that the Japanese government suddenly made a U-turn regarding their tough laws against gambling, it's a criminal offense as far as I know. Neighboring countries like Macau and even the Philippines and Singapore is the destination if you wanted to play on casino's on the Asian region so it really surprises me to see that they are now opening their doors.


That will not be a good decision by the Japanese government to ban the gambling or consider it as an criminal activity and due to online availability of gambling, it will be difficult to ban in it completely.


I am not from Japan but definitely, I can say that Japanese people are one of the most kind and disciplined individuals. They will kill themselves if they are caught with wrongful acts. So corruption is not really a problem in that country where iGaming industry is known to have that long-running problem. I believe, they will do the right things when it comes to handling this business.

Well, Japanese are people who do abide by the rules and regulations of the countries and if gambling will be banned, they will not use illegal ways to play gambling.
6302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on an insect fight? on: May 10, 2019, 05:13:46 PM
These insect and animal fights become popular in some provinces because there are no means for these people to play gambling and they want to explore something new, so they create spider fighting, insect fighting and so many other forms of gambling that involves animals and insects.
I think most of the countries that do insect and other types of animal fighting are countries where gambling mostly originated from. Those days, they liked to have fun and gamble and using this insect and other types of animals was really fun since they had a lot of spectators.

This gambling has become a tradition in some countries and I believe even with the invention of new and better gambling, they still value his gambling type.  In china for example, they have been practicing insect fighting as spectators and this is the same with Vietnam and Thailand. Japanese for example are known for bug’s fights. They are all weird kind of gambling anyway.
This still happens in many countries. I was watching a documentary about dog fight and to be honest, in countries where dog fight is banned; there had been great number of spectators gathered for the show. So yes these things still happen. People bet on the animal with huge potential to win.

Often the strongest one. I have not heard about incest fight anywhere in my country. People are moving away from these traditions into online gambling.

Now this is the first time i am hearing the Dog fight. I have not seen it i am sure it would be a wild bloody fight.  Huh
I never favor gambling on living animals fights. There must be some rules which prohibit such wild acts which involves the risk of losing the real life.
6303  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Cryptopia Cryptocurrency Platform Services and Development on: May 05, 2019, 11:43:46 AM
I tried to withdraw 1 bitcoin. The withdraw is pending. More than 24 hours


Today and tomorrow are holidays and the withdrawals will only be processed from Mon-Fri 9-5 NZST timing so your withdrawal will be processed on Monday now.

If i want to transfer my ETN to another another exchange, i can't do that because the ETN withdrawal is disabled. If there any other option for me to withdrawal my ETN directly to an ETN address ?   Or do i have to less in loss and then withdraw the BTC ? Sad

You have the no choice but to endure some loss to take out your money out of cryptopia, I still have USDT on my account and i don't have the options to buy BTC or DOGE and LTC.

If the USDT Trade opens i will sell it at loss so i can finally move on,. So for your ETN it will depend if you still trust cryptopia or not.

Do you think it is sensible to still trust Cryptopia ? If it was an inside Job, then Cryptopia  would never have come back again. The way Cryptopia is coming back slowly makes me feel that they were really hacked and the team is trying to recover from that incident.  But still i am confused where Cryptopia  should be trusted or not ? Huh
6304  Other / Meta / Re: Is it possible to have a sticky threads for gambling discussions? on: May 05, 2019, 10:51:03 AM
After reading this post I remember as a gambler that there should be a post in the likes of this to remind the gamblers about the responsibility of a good gambler. What I suggest is to create a sticky threads in the gambling discussions.

A lot of people wonder what is the criteria of a good gambler, here are some of my thought about good gambler

a good gambler never chase profit
Profit might be the first reason why people gamble, but a good gambler never attached to the profit, the most important thing in gambling is excitement and fun experience, having profit is just the bonus

a good gambler able to control himself / herself
Self controlling is very important in gambling, without a clear mind there will be a lot of mistakes in betting and even causing reckless betting and losing all of the money in split second

a good gambler know when to stop
Setting a limit is very important in gambling, setting a lost limit will prevent you to over spend your money and setting a win limit is  also important because in the long run the house got a bigger chance to win due to the house edge

a good gambler never cause any problem to the surrounding
A good gambler know that the chances of losing money in gambling is huge, so a gambler should never used daily needs money or borrowing money to gamble, and a gambler should never think of robbery or stealing to gamble

a good gambler can accept lost
When losing a good gambler won't blame the surrounding, cursing or accusing the  casino as fraud places, losing is the half part of gambling, if you can't accept lost then dont start to gamble

a good gambler should able to manage the time
A good gambler know how to split the time for family, for friends and for gambling, a good gambler never neglected family or friend just because of gambling

We must encourage people to become a good gambler, so people won't always have a bad judgement about gambler



Again it would be great to see sticky threads on gambling discussions just help out also some of the gamblers being brought down to deep addiction in playing gambling.

A responsible gambler is a good gambler.

All these points have been repeated multiple times here in this Gambling discussion thread but still people do not follow them properly. If gamblers could only follow the rules stated above, they would never be end up in a terrible situations. Its good that you summarized them again.
6305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe is Bitcoin gambling on: May 05, 2019, 09:02:14 AM
Hello friends

How safe is bit coin gambling is it worth?
If yes and than how to play and where to play?
can now make a living on this gambling?
waiting for your opinions guys.

hope all good. Wink
There are a lot of bitcoin gambling sites or bitcoin casino that are safe to play like bitsler, stakes, primedice, and many more. I can say that playing in a bitcoin casino is really worth because you can add all of your winnings in your investment, but it will be difficult if you consider it as living because there will be chances that you will get addicted or greedy in playing. I highly suggest for you to play on the bitcoin casino that i have been playing which is Vegascasino are one of the best bitcoin casino because it is safe and secured and bitcoin has been recognized as a highly secure currency system and this makes Vegascasino a safe place to play. It also has hundreds of casino games that you can play and it offers great bonuses for new players that attracts a lot of people.

The casino like primedice, bitsler, stake ,fortune jack, bitvest are safe in a sense that there will be no issue in deposit , withdrawal and the games will be fair too but this does not mean that overall gambling is a safe game. In Gambling you have more chances of lose so you should always be careful if you decide to play gamble with your money.
6306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I spend the daily expense by playing gambling? on: May 05, 2019, 07:43:20 AM
Is it possible to spend daily expenditure by gambling money? I think this is not possible. If you play gambling, the loss is more than profit. But yes, many people can play gambling very well and they can earn a lot of profit. But I would say gambling is never a profession. So it is better not to earn money by playing gambling. Gambling should play just for fun. You should not spend your pocket money with gambling money.

Thank you

Nothing is certain in gambling. You are never sure how much will you win each day and how much you will lose. Gambling should be played for fun or for bonus money only. It should not be used as a major source of income to meet the daily needs. You will not be able to succeed in it.
6307  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin has done it again on: May 05, 2019, 06:22:06 AM
A few months ago I read various old topics about the price of Bitcoin, many people still in 2011-2013 were also very doubtful and also every time when Bitcoin fell in price - a huge number of haters and pessimis appeared. These cycles are repeated for many years and will be repeated. This is normal.

Bitcoin has come up again from each and every bear cycle and people should now realize this. No matter how bad the market is and no matter how much there is negativity in market about bitcoins, it will still come up strongly.
6308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Another uptrend has shaped up trying to break $5600 again on: May 05, 2019, 05:53:56 AM
Well 5600$ has been broken, and i think the price will go to over 6000 $ this month with high chances to hit 7000$, and now bitcoin is still a good option to invest and hold for long for a higher profit.

I do not think that bitcoin prices will cross 7000$ anytime soon. We may now see some retracement in bitcoin prices. We have some support at 5500$ and a major support at 5150$. I think bitcoin will touch these support and then move up again to cross the 6000$.
Just remember that bitcoin will not go straight up without being Pull back.
6309  Economy / Speculation / Re: Many cryptocurrency players have gone bankrupt on: May 05, 2019, 05:17:02 AM
The players that went to bankrupt are those players who are not preapred dont have any plan if theres a problem that they will encounter and some are new players in the world of crypto they invest because they knew the profit is huge.

The players who went bankrupt in crypto , were not players at all. They were mostly newbie who did not have know how of trade and they just jumped into bitcoin trading to make quick money, but eventually they realized that it is not easy to make money in crypto.

About 70% people in bitcoin trading are just newbies who come to make quick money from trading, thinking it is the easiest way to get money. Those are the people who actually lost more than others.


I think the market have shaked everyone but the players that went bankrupt actually didnt analyse the market well as it should be their top most priority and since they are doing really bad handling their business that should be expected But most project just lost funds that are still in crypto but they learned and things are moving on now

It is not easy to survive in the intense bear Market movement from 19800 - 3100$. Only the ones who had the ability and power to Hold could survive this period. However, this bear period is now over and we see bitcoin slowly rising now.
6310  Economy / Speculation / Re: China mining decision May 7 on: May 05, 2019, 04:33:10 AM
So apparently China will announce their decision in 4 days about mining crypto legality. Here's one scenario:

-They say no more mining, 70% of the hashrate disappears immediately, giving other miners a much larger reward than before. Price crashes as they sell for more profits, and it takes time for other miners to take up the slack in other countries. After things settle out price starts rising again in time for next halving.

What do you think? is there another more likely scenario?

Whatever the decision will be, it will only effect the Chinese community and will have no impact globally and on bitcoin price. We all know now that News from China  these days are only to create Fud and therefore, it has much more less impact on bitcoin price and volume.
6311  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Scams are a global issue on: May 04, 2019, 06:50:13 PM
Scam is a global issue even before crypto, I think some is just saying that crypto is all scam since it's done in the internet. And as we all know scam normally happened using the internet thus, most people think it's scam. I think whether it's crypto or not, scam is inevitable because scammers just can't get off their hands to easy money.

Scammer did scams with fiat and bank accounts etc and now they are scamming crypto also. Everything which has a value is subjected to be exploited by the scammers.  Saying that scam are only because of crypto is wrong.


I believe scams can be dealt with without centralized system or authority but rather with decentralized anti-scam measures.
 I wouldn't care too much if the regulators go after the centralized cryptocurrency platforms though. They are not very transparent and can be easily abused.

No matter we have centralized or decentralized systems, scammer and hackers are intelligent enough to scam us. It is our duty to take preventive measures and be alert.
6312  Economy / Economics / Re: Time for investment on: May 04, 2019, 05:46:44 PM
Any suggestion for things that we could invest and make money at the same time
Lol, some people are really funny, they don’t invest when there is time, they only try to jump in when the market starts to go up and they think the bull run has started. Anyone who is using his or her senses should have known that the market has been at the bottom ever since its price became stable. They are now trying to get in as the price moved up, so what are you going to do if falls back?

This is the basic sentiment in the market. Everyone want to jump in the running train and no one wants to buy when the prices are low or cheap.  Two / three months back people were hesitant to invest in bitcoin when its price was 3000-3500$ and now when it is about to cross the 6000$, they are asking should we invest ? I am sure that they will not invest and keep on waiting till prices are too high. Then they will fomo and buy when the prices are at a peak.
6313  Economy / Economics / Re: Why most bitcoin users from good economies countries? on: May 04, 2019, 04:49:31 PM
I think this is related also to a cultural concept.

E.g. ONEcoin Scam was really hyped by people from poor country.
How can some one spend a lot of time, effort and resources, without receive a sure profit?
it's really hard, even if you don't have enough resources and lack of economic education.
Otherwise Onecoin was advertised as "be rich" scheme and we all know what is the results of these type of project Wink

Poor country does not mean that the people living there are out of their mind. They should use their mind and should the difference between real crypto coins and the scam coins like OneCoin etc. I have seen people claim onecoin to the next bitcoin. How can anyone compare bitcoin and onecoin.
Its just show that people are fooled because they are always attracted towards become quick rich schemes and then cry afterwards.
6314  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin goes down, no new rich people anymore on: May 04, 2019, 04:23:56 PM
IF you already rich whats the point of taking on all the additional risk that crypto provides.  If I was a billionaire I would keep my money in solid investments like property and companies.  Going for really high risk investments is more for poor people since they don't have much to lose.

Crypto does not provide any risk while property and companies does. We are near the next economic crisis and all these things like Dollar, property etc will be devalued. Only those who have cryto and bitcoin with them will be saved because all the money will be flow towards crypto. I will recommenced rich people to keep some portion of thier assets in bitcoins for the future.
6315  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Bearish or Bullish? Here my thoughts: APRIL UPDATE on: May 04, 2019, 04:15:41 PM

Quote

If you follow the link you’ll see also ETH and all major alts are considered.


Yes, they were also considered. April is over, and we see that it managed to bring positive changes to many cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. I think it was bullish this month, surely.

April was the bullish month for the bitcoin only.  It was indeed a worst month for altcoins as we see most of the altcoins went below their all time low value. No news or event like main net , listing could pump the altcoins for long time duration. Ask from the holders of altcoins and they will say that their portfolio are at extreme losses.
6316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: May 04, 2019, 01:42:58 PM
Tier is a good thing but they should make it more transparent. Let 12 teams stay in tier one, hold worldcup with them. The lower two teams should relegate to the 2nd tier and the top 2 of the 2nd tier get their chances to the first. Same should be done with test cricket also. There should be no permanent privilege for any teams.
Why shouldn't teams get permanent privileges? They deserve such privileges completely and this applies to every single sport in the world. Some teams are just better than other teams at the end of the day and that will always stay true due to multiple factors like experience etc.

No one deserve permanent privilege. For example, look at Zimbabwe. They are still having the test status, despite performing below par for more than a decade now. IMO, there are far better teams out there, which deserve test status. On top of that because of their test status they receive 10 times more funding from the ICC, when compared to the other teams such as Nepal and Netherlands.
I don't agree. As I said, established teams deserve their permanent privileges due to their performances over time. I mentioned established teams specifically and I never talked about Zimbabwe which was never a good Cricket team to begin with.

I guess we need to agree to disagree here.

Though being an interesting event, one of the reasons why cricket hasn't established itself as a global sport is the privilege system. Unlike other world cups, they have no to small qualifiers and a small number of teams compete. They are mostly concentrated around the commonwealth and is slow in adoption anywhere else.

Cricket is not being played in most of the countries of the world and it is the sports of few nations only. Still the game is very interesting and those who watch cricket are never bored of less teams. Also they are three formats, Test, One day, T20 due to which we are able to watch the cricket matches almost all the year.
6317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you watch the matches you're gambling on on: May 04, 2019, 07:22:15 AM
Love to watch Im not that passionate gambler more like fun one. Few games on ticket with some single ones and this is also more for fun. Few bucks in ticket if comes good if not again good.
I have been in the sports gambling for more than a year now and it is fun to watch the matches you have gambled on. There are so many things you get to learn if you do that. And in addition, you gamble on the game you love to watch. If you do not love to gamble over something, why would you gamble on it in the first place? The benefit of watching is that you develop a skill of dealing with the loss and win plus it guides you to make right decisions.

Basically there are two benefits of watching the match you are betting on.

You enjoy the match more as your are more concern that your team should win.

In case you see your team losing, you can make more bets on the wining team, this way your loss in your initial bet can be minimized.
6318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any knows the mathematical formula to winning the lottery? on: May 03, 2019, 06:19:29 PM
Have you gambled lottery?
Why Mathematicians aren't riches now in gambling since they know and expert in equation solving finding the x value?
Equation solving in Mathematics are helpful to finds or pick the numbers, how did you know if it is even or odd numbers in right combination?
Is the binomial coefficient formula will really help you to find the right winning combination?

Share your thought here and let's discuss this. Cheesy

This is almost impossible to find such a formula which may win you a lottery. There are many mathematical and statistics experts person in the world and  If that was possible,they would have won a lot of lotteries by now. Unfortunatly formulas does not work in gambling and its only the luck which may help you winning a lottery.

5 CRYPTO GAMES [DICE]

 LuckyGames - https://luckygaimes.cc

 999Dice - https://bit.ly/2V0LgFP

 Bitsler - https://www.bitsler.com

 CasinoRoyale - https://casinoroyale.bet

 DuckDice -  https://duckdice.io

 ***** Make your Crypto SAFE with Ledger Hard Wallet: https://[Suspicious link removed]/2HDAzlo *****

THANKS FOR WATCHING & GOOD LUCK!!!! B)


I believe there is only some sites that I can recommend it here cause some of it does have some bad history. Like 999dice, I believe that is really a scam site which using really low porvably fair system on their site, so it is pretty easy for them to cheat on their system as well. And for others, I think I can still made. Anyway thanks for reminding luckygames, it was like really long time ago since I played there. Will be back there soon enough  Grin

don't forget about the duckdice too, i found a thread here and they have a Scam Accusations against that site
Duckdice.io [SCAM and SHADY behavior]



999dice got busted indeed , their provably fair was proven not really fair
while luckygames openly admitted cheating a player out of money just because he abused a bug that they could not be bothered to fix
casinoroyale is not my first choice either , so out of the whole list I'd only play Bitsler
and Duckdice , when I feel adventurous
there are plenty more decent cryptocasino sites , top tier like Bitsler or Stake or cryptogames etc.


We will find many good casino site along with the bad ones. I have known people who have lost a big amount of money due to the scam online gambling sites. For this reason, i rarely look for any new gambling site and try to stick with the ones i trust and playing for a long time.
