641  Economy / Speculation / Re: What’s going to make Bitcoin turn from a downward to an upward trend? on: October 29, 2022, 10:17:58 PM
I can think of three things that would propel the price of Bitcoin upwards. Mostly it’s the removal of doubt and time though. The biggest doubt hanging over the market being the mtgox coins. Once those are distributed a huge weight will be lifted from the price. An ETF approval would also send Bitcoin skyward. Finally, besides increased adoption, the block reward halving will also tip the supply/demand towards the bulls.

Yeah, I think the ETF might boost the market in the next bull run, or maybe another country like El Salvador or at least another nation joining the picture. Or maybe a huge company like Tesla or a Michael Saylor type of billionaire.

So there are still a lot of source of money that will propel bitcoin to the next bull run. And the expectation is the 6 digits will be hit in 2024-2025 so we will see. We just need to wait for the right time. We can't just force things in this market as it has it's own path and catalyst which is the block halving.
More predictions on the reason for the next bull market makes the newbies have some satisfaction on the price increase. For users who have experienced the down market and it's upward movement, it is fine to go without any fear/panic.

The demand has to increase through some means. This will push the price forward and in recent days we haven't experienced any such incident. As mentioned a country to make it legal tender following El Salvador could trigger the price bounce. At any point it won't be serving as the key for real growth. As most users suggested it is time to have patience for the right time to profit.

Holger rune seem on fire recently after winning the stockholm Atp against tsitsipas he is dominating his opponents in basel tournaments he have beaten easily, de minaur Humbert and today Rinderknech, it seems that his next opponent is bautista agut, another one in a good shape i think he is a little bit favourite to win i expect it to be a war my bet is on him and alcaraz to make it to the final.

Yes, another young gun that we have to look at specially in the last couple of games here, he was really on fire destroying his tough opponent. Now he will be facing Bautista-Agut in the semifinals.

On the other hand, Alcaraz vs FAA, this is gong to be a classic. I wouldn't be surprised if the match goes on another three sets with tie break in between. But let me try to beat on FAA here, at 2.08 odds, is not that bad and I think it's a value bet for me.

That's not a bad price for Felix AA, I see on Rollbit he is 1.99 now and Alcaraz is at 1.83,
very close so it might be better to go with Alcaraz purely on being #1?

also a consideration is that Felix has a great service game if it goes to tie breaks.....

In the other Semi final Rune v Batista Agut I'm going with Rune. As Ratash says he seems to
be on fire alright, I have him at 1.55.

Good bet guys, FAA easily bet Alcaraz in 2 sets, 6-3, 6-2. I never thought that this will be score, not sure what happened to Alcaraz in this game, but it seems that FAA has got his numbers and didn't allow Alcaraz to take control of the match.

While on the other Semi final, Rune was pushsed by Bautista-Agut to 2 tie set breaks, but it was Rune who has the next and survived. So we won't see two young players in the finals or at least a Alcaraz vs Rune.

So congrats on your bet.
Felix Augur have won it easily. This is unexpected, that too in direct sets. So, the real fight is going to take place in the finals between the young players. I expect some good performance coming from both the players.

I missed the match between Holger Rune and Bautista Agut. The match could've been really interesting, because both the sets have ended out of tie breaks. In today's finals, I predict Holger Rune to have the higher chance to win the finals.

Strong teams like Australia, England and Pakistan are already struggling to reach the semi while weak teams are on the top of the table  Cheesy
Don't be mad at me, I am just kidding. India is the only team who have won all of their matches.
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are the only teams who were lucky enough to have full matches without any rain interruption and in the upcoming rounds this might change. Match against South Africa and India would determine who will be leading the group as South Africa have a really high net run rate. Pakistan needs to win the rest of the matches and they need to keep up with the Net run rate as well and the pressure is on them to perform and it is not impossible.

Mate i like a good humor 🤝.
Playing full matches is really important. Just think of the match India vs Pakistan. If rain have interrupted and the game had restarted, this could've been a sure win for Pakistan. Getting full matches keep the teams performance good than just sharing points. The competence to reach the top position have reached the peak with the unexpected performance from the small teams.

Against Zimbabwe Sikandar Raza was the man between Pakistan winning and loosing and then they only needed 3 runs to win the match from the last 3 balls and they messed that completely.
The odds for Zimbabwe winning were over 13 at this point and who would have thought Pakistan would loose the match  Cry.
No one could've thought that Zimbabwe will make such a big comeback and win the match. It was big history and Pakistan will be in pressure to win rest of the matches. Surely some violence of throwing stones over player's properties could've happened in Pakistan.

But, in my opinion now cricket is in advance stage and all boards are having good profit from franchise leagues which can cover the cost of stadiums with rooftops, and we can do this all in better way because right now we have the biggest event in cricket sport and this all is ruined by ran with top teams are having more frustration with this like we have today
Having a roof top stadiums is expensive to maintain to begin with and even the richest clubs are not able to maintain them and then the main issue is that a cricket ball is hit a long way and with T20s you will see many boundary balls touching the roof as there is a limit on how high the roof can be. Then there is the climate aiding the bowlers, if there is no wind assistance there wont be any swing and with the modern bats it will be a bowlers hell.


Rain is spoiling the interest for sure and at the end of the day net run rate will be taken into account if matches are washed away like this and we might not see the best team facing in the semi finals.
Roof top settings could affect the real play. Once again the cricket boards need to frame separate rules for the matches played on such ground. In simple terms when we play in a closed area we used to specify runs if it hits a particular wall. Same as that ICC needs to frame runs for the balls hitting the roof. It won't be interesting.
645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler who betrayed his friend's trust on: October 28, 2022, 11:50:30 PM
If this is real story, then I'll try to make the friend understand and get my part. At some point he'll truly understand and if he isn't ready to give the winning amount, then it is upto him. It'll be a learning for me, money can make any kind of changes in ones life. Once again as the past days I'll spend what I've been spending on gambling. If I'm lucky I'll be able to make such bets.

Just think of the situation in which both the friends have shared the winning. In such case the winning will keep the friends boosted to go for further bets with the winning amount which could bring more big wins.

Preference of Online Casino over Land based Casino

  • Convenience to play
  • Play on the go(usage of Mobile, tabs, etc)
  • Unwanted travel isn't necessary
  • Gives the best of privacy
  • Availability of big list of games Smiley
647  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pres.Nayib Bukele: Stop Drinking the Elite’s Kool-Aid on: October 28, 2022, 11:24:40 PM
President Nayib Bukele is quite confident over his decision. Once we were able to see lots and lots of criticism against him. Now it have changed and the statement from him resembles the real value of bitcoin. He hadn't invested/adopted it the legal tender without reason or just for its growth that can improve the country's economy. His understanding to stay independent and out of control from others gets fulfilled. He have shown the real use of bitcoin to the world. Surely in the long run El Salvador will profit big out of its positive move with bitcoin.

The runs that Brad Evans and Ryan Burl scored at the depth overs for Zimbabwe too a reason for the winning of the match. At some point the score is predicted to reach 120 runs. The small difference in score have made it a winning day for Zimbabwe. A big disappointment for Pakistan, and in specific the chances to reach the semifinals have come down for Pakistan. The upcoming matches for Pakistan is against Netherlands, South Africa and Bangladesh.

Yeah.. the partnership between Ryan Burl and Brad Evans added 31 valuable runs, and took Zimbabwe from 95/7 to 130/8. But even then, according to the Zimbabwe captain, the total was 25-30 runs short of what they wanted. Pakistan still lost the match yesterday, as a result of poor performance from their batsmen. Pakistan were 88/3 after 13.4 overs. They could have easily won the match at this point. But some careless hitting from the batsmen proved costly and the match got tighter towards the last 2-3 overs.
Yes, when the score was 88/3 they should've started score ones and two. For that most players went for big shots. The openers should've played their regular game. Yesterday it looked like they're playing a pressure game after losing against India. Another flaw in yesterday's match, Masood took the game on their side and went for the wrong shot when everything is in favour of Pakistan's win.
649  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you Consider the Price of Bitcoin to be More Important than its Purpose? on: October 27, 2022, 11:58:18 PM
The price of bitcoin is a major attraction among the common people. When they initially get into cryptocurrency they never know anything about the real purpose. Even I don't know the real technology and the innovative things that made me into cryptocurrency.

Only after getting into the forum I realised how important is the privacy and how banks are stealing our money and having control over our funds. As if now we've got around 5% of the world population using cryptocurrencies in some means. If the price isn't this high or it hasn't experienced such a massive growth surely the usage percentage will be around 3%

The suggestion putforth by OP is the martingale strategy. One thing he mentioned is good, calculate the number of rolls that can be made with the available rolls, increasing the number of rolls could increase the chance of wins. This will help in easing out, but end of the day this is going to be a failed strategy. Many people have experimented with different amounts. It looks like OP have tried the strategy recently. Maybe in few more consecutive attempts he'll look for better strategies.
651  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cryptocurrency is silent why? on: October 27, 2022, 11:33:22 PM
I think one of the reasons why it is quiet is that very large margin transactions are taken.
That's why there are some sharp movements with the announced data. With the last rise, this silence was slightly broken upwards. I don't know if it will continue, but I think most people didn't think this rise would come.
Market used to settle down after a massive growth. I see it in that way. The price reached the peak and the same is settling down, so that the next push will happen. In between market fluctuations moving within specific barriers is common market movement that happens out of the events that takes place connective to the cryptomarket. For now there is no big event happening. Even something positive isn't making big change in the market.
652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino with an online and offline branch. on: October 27, 2022, 11:27:54 PM
The chances are very low for an online casino to have an offline branch. During the pandemic most of the Casinos went shut, and the same have made those Casinos into online gambling platforms. Such a way we've got good number of offline casino now with online services. But, those doesn't give the best outcome same as that we experience with the cryptocurrency accepted gambling platforms.

Stan played really well in this match against Rudd. But I think it was a really good show of strength and stamina from both players, it was also a test of patience for Stan.


Stan vs Brandon Nakashima is live now. I understand why the odds are not in favor of Stan. But at the same time, my heart says that Stan should be the winner in this match. However, I am not as confident about this one as I was in the previous match with Stan.

Stan Wawrinka made it a win at the third set 6-4 5-7 6-4. The second set have been a fightback. Now Wawrinka to play against Bautista Agur in the quarter finals. I find Stan Wawrinka to win the quarter finals. Bautista have reached the quarter finals defeating Andy Murray 6-3 6-2 in the direct sets. This will keep him boosted for a better performance against Stan Wawrinka.

An easy win today in vienna tournament for rublev against shwartzman, the russian player was heavily favourite since shwartzman is having a bad streak he lost six consecutive games he was away from the latest stages in competitions recently i don't know why his performance has downgraded this year.
An easy win for Andrey Rublev. He have got good consistency in his performance until reaching the round of 16 or to the quarter finals. From there his performance wasn't enough to move forward. In this match it is an easy win on direct sets. shwartzman wasn't good enough, because losing 6-4 & 6-1 in the second set looks completely an one sided game.

The match between South Africa and Zimbabwe in their first Super-12 match in the T20 World Cup is stopped due to rain. As soon as the rain stops, the match will be played on the field. South Africa will enter the field as the favorite in terms of strength. Zimbabwe is expected to put up a fight on its day. South Africa's David Miller can make the difference, while Sikandar Raja is also in excellent form. However, if the two umpires declare the match abandoned due to rain. Then both teams will get equal points. In that case, although Zimbabwe will benefit, it will be disappointing for South Africa. Waiting for the match to end on the field...

South Africa was unlucky to draw with Zimbabwe because the rain did not let the match finish. Even the match was reduced to 9 overs a side but still it was not possible for the match to complete as the rain hit hard and no more play was possible.

Today we have one match to be played between Srilanka and Australia. Australia lose their first game and this match is very important for them to win in order to survive in this T20 WC.  

Australia with 1.19 odds are too much favorites to win.  Smiley


We'll see more similar results in the upcoming days. These matches will finally make a big change in the points table moving forward to the next round of matches. Another thing, if this has happened with the India vs Pakistan match this could've been big disappointment.

With Australia vs Sri Lanka, the odds are in favour of Australia. Sri Lanka have reached the Super 12 through hard fight and it isn't that good in its performance. I'm sure this going to be a win for Australia. However at times Sri Lanka used to perform better, so the match is on my watch list.
656  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Leaving your coins on exchanges on: October 24, 2022, 11:31:39 PM
I hope it was clear to everybody the risk of leaving our coins to the exchanges for a long time. Might sometimes do this but not necessarily use this for holding. Day traders will consider this but if we are not, it is more advisable to have a separate and controlled wallet than risking our funds in them as we can't assure the safety of our money in their hands. It is much better to anticipate what might happen( lose) so we have nothing to regrets if there is something will happen to them.
Even a good exchange can face a problem as well so to avoid any hassle better to put your coins that you intend to hold on a hard wallet and if you are trading have some capital only to spend on the exchanges. Aside from being got hacked there’s also a risk for freezing your account and the site might ask for more KYC which you might not be able to comply and that can result to losing the money. I do have separate wallet for different purposes, holding is also one of my top priority.
These days when we get into an exchange we're supposed to fulfill KYC. Most of the standard exchange does it. As said, anything could happen even with the exchange that stands high on the market. Understanding the same it is good to have our funds kept on the hardware wallet. If you were able to enable every security features available including 2FA, then users can hold funds in exchanges.
657  Economy / Economics / Re: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? on: October 24, 2022, 11:26:07 PM
Money is indeed a motivation, I mean, I would be motivated if the salary is good with a healthy workplace of course, if it's toxic then money isn't motivating at all if that's the case. Worshipping money is bad, working for money too, that's why money should work for you. What I mean is you have to work smarter, not harder. Nobody works 8 hours a day that became a millionaire while sticking to his comfort zone.
Agreed, when an employee gets paid for what he have done will surely be a big motivation for him/her. When the same isn't satisfactory, surely the commitment towards the work won't be effective. Whether you work smart/hard, if you aren't paid good, then nothing can keep us motivated (until we run our own business). Education systems need to change in some parts of the world. In my country they teach, you study well, and you get good job so that you can earn big. This shouldn't be the way of teaching.
658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would the world be if Bitcoin wasn't created on: October 24, 2022, 11:21:03 PM
Around 4.5% of users were found around the world. This count is among the entire population. Remaining percentage of people are still under a situation there is no bitcoin. In that stance even if bitcoin wasn't created our lives would've been moving over something. When we talk of privacy and other forms of banking, we'll be still stalked by the third parties same as the majority percentage experiencing at the moment.

Everton won 3-0 against Crystal Palace yesterday, what will you give to celebrate this nice win @Stake?  Grin
Hope it wont be the same as the previous one (drop code) although I was able to claim it, the moment now is suitable to give a post monthly bonus because we are heading the last week of the month.
I'm quite sure most users agree with me  Wink
Everyone expecting a post monthly bonus from Stake now. We got a pre monthly bonus on 6th October, then the monthly bonus had arrived on 12th October. There is a high chance to receive a post monthly bonus in this month. There could be a bonus drop to celebrate the Everton victory. And we may receive a post monthly bonus for Halloween celebrations.
Problem is Stake marketing team drops bonuses surprisingly without announcing anything. Maybe Post-monthly coupon will be released towards the end of current month, there was no post monthly bonus last month but due to celebrations we can expect it next week, IMO.
Marketing team does what is being assigned for them.
I dont think this time we'll have a post monthly, because already through the stream good sum of bonuses were distributed to users with good sum of wager. If post monthly is send, then we'll be lucky as the bonus will help us have few rolls on the Halloween day.

Sithara007, Actually, that is true. Right now everyone is talking about the issue of India not traveling to Pakistan. But meanwhile, Jay Shah got what he wanted. And actually, I would be very happy if there was no problem with the Asia Cup being hosted in Pakistan. They really needed it. But I have to say for some reason I actually expected this to happen. Whenever India versus Pakistan is being discussed, there always has to be some drama. Otherwise, it does not feel like India versus Pakistan.

Anyway, I don't think there will be any problems with Pakistan hosting the Asia Cup. And now I think the security is going to be better than ever in Pakistan.
Pakistan cricket board along with the government will give the best security. Whenever there is a schedule between India and Pakistan, the same will be promoted in all possible means. Look at today's match, the ground is full. The host nation is Australia and for its match we can't expect the same crowd. For the betterment of Pakistan cricket, they are in need of hosting Asia Cup. The discussion will not come to an end, and Pakistan won't be hosting the league.
