The halving event is scheduled in the middle of 2020 which is why it will probably explode in value during the first half of 2020 itself. On top of this, any more positive news will push it even higher.

I don't think this will repeat even though it is completely possible since the halving event will urge many holders to HODL their BTC until next year at the very least which will probably push it back close to $11K in the near future.

All of these fancy terms usually don't matter much in my opinion since luck is the critical factor in this context. I never care about the EV factor in sports betting since research and luck all that matter to me.

Its simple really. If you manage to have an above average ROI over an extended period of time, you will stand to profit in the long term. This is how so many successful punters succeeded in the long run without focusing too much on the math behind it all.

Possibly. They might be desperate enough to do something like that. If this tour goes well, more teams could gain confidence and this could be a mutually beneficial move which makes sense in every way.

I will be checking out the scores myself, but I am not really interested in seeing a powerful team like Pakistan play against a B grade Sri lankan team currently.

Good to know that you guys are listening to community feedback properly. I agree that a 1% flat commission rate would definitely be competitive, but I suggest implementing some kind of VIP tier system in order to make it even more competitive as I suggested earlier.

This would give your exchange an extra bonus point and would definitely draw in more punters. Liquidity is another factor which needs to be addressed to make your exchange more competitive.

I am genuinely surprised with Sri Lanka agreeing to tour Pakistan and am expecting appropriate security arrangements have been made to tackle the threats.

Pakistan would probably win this series even if the experienced Sri Lankan players were in the team which is why I am expecting Sri Lanka to lose this series, but they will definitely give them a tough fight. It will be interesting to watch how Pakistan perform after their World Cup journey.

E-sports betting through crypto is quite common these days op and is available on plenty of websites. It all comes down to the margin that the site is taking based on which the odds are decided.

In terms of margin, I suggest Pinnacle(If you are willing to provide KYC documents) since their odds are almost always amazing(Esports, Soccer etc) thanks to the low juice.

If you do not wish to submit KYC, Fairlay is your best bet since they copy Pinnacle odds and only charge 0.25% commission which will drop over time.

Awesome. The crypto community need a lot more BTC exchanges since Fairlay is the only legit exchange with decent liquidity at present thanks to BetBtc converting into a sportsbook sometime back.

Suggestions:

-I advise running a BTC signature campaign by hiring a reputed manager later on in order to help promote your exchange op instead of relying on giveaways.

-Also, the 1% commission structure is decent, but it should go down the more me wager on your exchange just like Fairlay.

No thanks op. If I want to participate in live wagering contests, Stake does the job for me and they have legit mechanics in place unlike the shady mechanics behind Luckygames which the posters above me talked about.

What you are mentioning is nothing short of a miracle in my opinion. Legitimate sites try to reimburse their clients sometimes, but you cannot expect a shady site like Luckygames to do the same. They clearly don't care about criticism which is why avoiding them is best.

What you say is true, but the selectors and coaches would have already planned these things in advance and I don't think that the number 1 test nation in the world will face too many issues here.

Because they didn't receive many opportunities(Primarily Ashwin). If Ashwin and Jadeja get going, they will wreak havoc within minutes. They are my favorite spin combo and I would bet on them any day.

So? Are you forgetting that India has many more capable bowlers who will have a chance to prove themselves(Yadav, Ishant etc) now? I feel like Ishant could penetrate the batting lineup if he gets going.

Jadeja, Ashwin and Kuldeep could destroy the batsmen with their spin variations while Shami will do what he does best. I don't think any SA batsman will thinking of settling down with such a competitive bowling lineup in my opinion.

Well done op. You deserved the bug bounty for your effort in rectifying such a big issue. Usually, no one bothers with checking whether the mechanics are fine in such popular sites which is why FJ got away with this for so long.

For fixing an age old issue finally pointed out by a random user? Lol. This one reason and many more complaints against them are the reason why I don't gamble on FJ and prefer other sites like Bitsler etc even though I absolutely love the UI and design of FortuneJack.

Checked out the site and observed the following:

- Design is way too bland and you could have put more effort into making it look better.
- 1 confirmation deposit should be prioritized over 3 confirmation deposits since 3 confirmations tend to take a lot of time sometimes.
- Expected to find dice and only found heads or tails which is honestly not that appealing.
- How is this 0% house edge model feasible in the long run?

I completely agree. I find it quite difficult to select good players for the test format while it is quite easy to choose for other formats. No young player has impressed me so far(Batting) in the test format.

On the other hand, Bumrah has impressed me with his bowling skills in every format based on what I have seen. If India can find 1 or 2 batsmen who are as talented as Bumrah, they will probably be unstoppable in the future.

Edit: Just breached the 3000 post mark. Heck yeah! Feeling awesome!

Bitcoin in a brick and mortar casino? I doubt that will happen anytime soon. You do realize that many countries ban gambling(FIAT) outright, don't you op? The countries which allow gambling have their own regulations in place.

Accepting BTC as a payment method involved far stricter regulations which can only become a reality if the government legalizes BTC and regulates it effectively and does not impose extra protocols on offline BTC payments. This is highly unrealistic in my opinion.

These are whales basically. I guess you have never been to Las Vegas. The amounts wagered in Stake are small when compared to what whales wager in the Las Vegas casinos just like any popular casino out there.

Wrong. This is a smart bet and they call this yolo gambling where they wager their entire bankroll at once in order to win a big one and leave. Wagering small amounts might help psychologically, but the house will beat you in the long term which is why this short-term method is very popular.

This is old news and almost any Cricket fan is aware of these statistics. Pant is the best choice theoretically, but he is under-performing practically at the moment. As Ravi Shastri said, he will be given more opportunities, but he can't keep letting down his team every time.

A lot of pressure is on Pant currently, but if he can deliver under these conditions, he is the best suitable choice for the future. Also, KL Rahul needs to be given more opportunities too since he has high potential(Though he is not performing well these days).

Saha? I disagree. Karthik and Pant are much better selections in comparison. Who knows? Karthik could turn his form around in a major way and stun everyone by replacing Pant.

Honestly, Saha is easily one of the worst batsmen I have ever observed while Karthik seems to be out of form these days just like Pant. I would give them both equal opportunities in the short-term though none of them could probably never come close to how good Dhoni was.

I agree. I find it hilarious when people talk about India being over-confident when the truth is pretty obvious which is the Indian team are simply experimenting with the younger players to find prospective gems for the future.

Bumrah deserves a break and bowlers like Sundar, Saini and Chahar(Who impressed me as expected) deserve a shot. India lost. So what? The series is a draw and both teams played well. Great to see new players getting chances in big matches.

Just checked out the site and could not find any reviews related to it, but the site design(Black and yellow) is pretty decent and the help center on the bottom of the page seems to cover all the essentials.

However, they are only accepting ETH and XBM for deposits and withdrawals currently and they will add BTC and Litecoin soon. Also, they charge a 3% fee on withdrawals which is not too bad if you ask me.

I disagree. When Libra was officially announced, the whole world noticed and it was all over the news and it obviously has a direct relation with BTC. BTC too had a high chance of failing initially, until it took off later on which is why Libra could become a strong contender to BTC in the future.

I agree with you here. Most altcoins are irrelevant now and this can be clearly seen by the high level of dominance by BTC these days(Close to 68%).
