721  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Prime Trust's bankruptcy due to forgotten seed/private key on: September 02, 2023, 04:14:27 AM
It doesn't even matter if it's an exit scam or a legitimate screw up, it's a yet another precedent that crypto companies can lose your coins and you won't get back anything from them in court. Those people who want to be exposed to Bitcoin but not personally own it for some reason need to be ready to lose their investment in this way. So they should choose very-very carefully and not entrust their money to a startup that popped up yesterday. Better choose a company that has decades of positive reputation, though even that won't be a 100% insurance.

Exactly, although in the beginning investors might think that this is the best and safe bet for them, after all, they wouldn't bother on how to protect their bitcoins, specially investors that are not technically inclined.

But on the other hand, if you don't own your private keys and you let someone hold it for you, there are chances that they might screw it up like in this case. Now, they can't do anything and hopefully this might be set a precedent in a good way. Meaning investors would rather learn the intricacies of being a bitcoin investor like having their own hardware wallet for example and then back their own seed or private keys instead of letting some trust company to do that for them.

Suddenly I'm seeing a lot of talk about the Suns trading Bradley Beal...  I don't even know if that's an option or something they would want, but I'm hearing names like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden.  I doubt the Suns would be willing to take on Harden as he's a huge risk and has already said he wants to be the number one option on whatever team he lands on, but Mitchell might be a legitimate option if they were trying to flip Beal.  I'd personally rather have Beal as I think he fits in better with other stars, but Mitchell is an elite player when it comes time to show it.

Maybe the Suns might have qualms about the Beal acquisitions specially with that massive contract that they acquire. And if I'm not mistaken, Harden also wanted to play with Phoenix. However, this is just a mock trade if I'm not mistaken, so let's see how it goes.

Suns losing CP3, they might be looking at at someone that can play point. Harden might fit that role as he had triple doubles throughout his career. Mitchell though might be a hard pitch as they have Durant and Booker already.
723  Economy / Speculation / Re: How passionate are you buying Bitcoin now? on: September 01, 2023, 11:21:21 AM
a few days ago I bought a little bitcoin when the price of btc was going down, and I was honestly very excited to buy btc because soon there would be a btc halving.

I think fear is normal even though investing in BTC using idle money. because even though money is idle we still get that money with difficulty.

As and advise though, invest what you can afford to lose, so that when the price goes down, you will not have to worry about it. Of course, it's hard to get money unless you are really a big businessman and wealthy.

But for the majority of us, there are still ways to build our bitcoin, and that is thru DCA. It's good that you have bought when the price did go down, but remember, you should be buying continuously and that DCA will be your friend. And majority has been doing it for years, so this strategy has been proven already and tested that it works.

Not sure though if they have a previous ANN thread here, but I suspect they doesn't that's why the announcement is very poor in my opinion. Someone already mentioned to the OP on how to get a good ANN and so that it will attract some gamblers and who knows, maybe this it out.

But I do agree with the numbers, and I have doubts that they can have high user assuming that their sites is fairly new and not known. In any case, then goodluck, online casino are a niche and competition is very though. So for those who are really new in the game, they should have a less a good promotion here, and the best one is thru signature campaign.
725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Spivac - AI prediction on: September 01, 2023, 10:37:59 AM
Very interesting, we will see who will get the win and find out if AI can really predict games or fights.

I check one sports bookies and this are the odds,

Farid Basharat vs Kleydson Rodrigues   *   Basharat will win by submission in the third round   -   Basharat favorite, ML @1.25
Loosa Ange vs Rhys McKee   *   McKee will win by knockout in the second round   -   McKee underdog @2.30
Nora Cornolle vs Joselyne Edwards   *   Edwards will win by knockout in the first round   -   Edwards favorite ML @1.79 (but it's very close)
Zarah Fairn vs Jacqueline Cavalcanti   *   Cavalcanti will win with a TKO or a submission.   - Cavalcanti favorite ML @1.25
Taylor Lapilus vs Caolán Loughran   *   Lapilus will win by decision   -   Lapilus favorite ML @1.55
 Morgan Charriere vs Manolo Zecchini   *   Charriere will win by KO/TKO in the second or third round   -   Charriere favorite ML @1.26
William Gomis vs Yanis Ghemmouri   *   Gomis wins by knockout on 2nd round or decision.   -   Gomis favorite ML @1.43
Volkan Oezdemir vs Bogdan Guskov   *   Oezdemir wins by KO/TKO in the first or second round.   -   Oezdemir favorite ML @1.51
Benoit Saint-Denis vs Thiago Moisés   *   Moisés would win this fight by decision or late stoppage.   -   Moisés underdog @2.26
Manon Fiorot vs Rose Namajunas   *   Fiorot will win by decision   -   Fiorot favorite ML @1.49
Ciryl Gane vs Serghei Spivac   *   Ciryl Gane wins by knockout in 4th or 5th round or decision   -   Ciryl Gane favorite Ml @1.52


So based on the predictions by AI, there are 2 underdogs that we need to watch out. So that is the fight that we should look as well and the underdogs are well over 2.3x. Maybe throw some money on them?

It might be a good idea to do some parlays as well? What do you think?
726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rant: Casinos should hire people who knows about what they do on: September 01, 2023, 10:21:57 AM
So, I'm working on casino reviews and sometimes I'll be forced to reach out to a specific casino for information. Especially, when it's not listed on the casino website.

But in 9 out of the 10 situations, I've noticed that these customer supports don't know anything about the website, but why are they working there?

Just today, I was asking the support of a casino why the sportsbook section on the casino website is redirecting me to another platform and he doesn't understand what I mean.


So please if you're a casino owner here, hire people who understand simple things about gambling. This is not good for business at all!

Sad but true, remember though that maybe this customer support are just being handed like a scripts that they will have to answer to their customers. So if by chance that you inquire something that is out of their pay grade, then obviously you wouldn't get the answer that you needed.

Another is maybe they are hiring or off-shoring this kind of support, so they don't have any access or maybe the selection process is poor and that reflect to the answers that your received as if they really don't know what they are doing on that industries.
727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: September 01, 2023, 04:19:05 AM
Casimero is getting old. He's about to face the beginning of the end of his career and yet he's still facing no-names. He's been calling out quality fighters but gets the scraps. Whether deserving or not, this must largely be due to the opportunity he negligently lost. And now he's provided with another opponent who can't offer much. Oguni is an old and inactive boxer who doesn't have a professional boxing resume he can boast of. Casimero should win in a powerful way.


Casimero fighting against an unknown fighter who he knows is no match is just somewhat of a fixed fight for him to be tuned up. He needs to move up because by the time Inoue unifies the belt in the SBW, he'd be gone up to 126.

Casimero is getting old and got no belt that will make Inoue interested in fighting for. If he is still interested in fighting the baddest monster, he'd have to be 126lbs with the belt from WBA and IBF for him to get a shot with Inoue.

Inoue didn't mention that he would move up weight classes once he unifies the belt. In fact, his team has stated that he will have more fights before considering a move up. This situation could potentially open up an opportunity for Casimero to face him. While Casimero might be advancing in age, I believe Inoue's camp should consider giving him a chance to fight. This could help put an end to Casimero's continuous taunts towards their champion, referring to him as "Turtle."

There is an update about Casimero's age streamed by this channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIMjQeKVyAs&t=126s, showing  John Riel Casimero's brother Jason Casimero stated that they cheated on John Riel Casimero's age just to be qualified as a professional boxer while he is talking with the camp of Casimero on his live streaming channel called Quadro Alas It's my boy. John Riel Casimero's brother stated that John Riel Casimero started boxing at the age of 16, they cheated and added 2 years just to make Casimero qualified to be a professional boxer.  So it means Casimero is only 32 years old and is only 2 years older than Inoue.

Ok, so another bold revelation from their camp. It must have been very hard though for the Casimero's early on their lives as it seems that John Riel cheated so that he can box and most likely earn money for his family back then. And probably that is the reason why he is really tough not just physical, but mentally as well because of his early upbringing.

I think with regards to giving Casimero a chance, Casimero must prove himself a bit more on this weight division.  He must secure impressive wins against his upcoming opponent to impress the boxing council and possibly consider him as the top contender of that division.

Yes, this is also what the majority is saying here. Casimero needs to give us an impressive win, by knockout so that he can secure at least a shot for the title. Otherwise if this is just another low and so-so performance, then he might not get his chance against Inoue.

I just the breed really created the first meme coins in doge coin and I will say that up to this day, it is still very relevant in crypto world and it has made it's imprint already that there are a lot of Dogecoin imitations out there.

729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Glitches still affects online casinos? Or it's the casinos that sucks on: August 31, 2023, 05:46:31 AM
Usually it happens from the user's side because of internet interference from the user provider because I rarely find interference that occurs from casinos. Most of the time, I encountered problems with my internet provider and I couldn't do anything if that happened and just waited for the technician from the provider to finish fixing it.

But if the interference is from the casino, the casino does not want to be blamed because they will say it comes from the casino server. We can't do anything about it because the interrupt must be accidental and something must be happening on the server. We also can't demand the casino to compensate for our losses by giving something. But if the problem is really bad, maybe the casino will make up for that.

Yes, same here in my end, although I have a good internet connections, most of the time, for let's say I'm playing Evolution's lightning roulette, I will encounter network problems and it will just hang up.

It just add excitement though, because you don't know if you are going to hit and win your single bet. And sometimes I will just see that I won and obviously, you are glad that you hit it. But I just wanted to see where and how the ball will spin and fall as it adds excitement to the game. However, with connections acting up, most of the time I haven't had that kind of privilege.
730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: August 31, 2023, 05:35:06 AM
Mike Tyson said that he thinks Francis Ngannou is going to give Tyson Fury a good fight, and he even gave him few tips how to fight against Fury.
I dont know who else is going to train and prepare Ngannou for this fight but this is going to be big boost to have Iron Mike in his corner.
I think most he can do is to win few rounds, but he is entering dangerous uncharted waters with boxing.
If rematch fight would happen in MMA that could easily be highest paying MMA fight in history.

Yes, as we have said, maybe a couple of tips from Iron Mike and that's it. Because when the bell rings, it's him and Fury alone. It might be funny though if we see Francis doing the Tyson, back and forth wobbling of head and then caught Fury along the way.

But it's going to be very hard for Francis, stamina wise, I don't think he can go up for full 12 rounds against Fury. Maybe Fury strategy is not to get caught early and make Francis tire in the middle of rounds.

Here is the link: https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/fbi-partners-dismantle-qakbot-infrastructure-in-multinational-cyber-takedown

Have not seen anyone mention yet but I found this interesting because it has to do a lot with the botnet that infects organizations with Ransomware. I saw a figure of 8.6 million in seized crypto assets in another news page. They intend to return the money to the victims....

Yes, as per reported,

Quote
The Justice Department today announced a multinational operation involving actions in the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Romania, and Latvia to disrupt the botnet and malware known as Qakbot and take down its infrastructure. The Qakbot malicious code is being deleted from victim computers, preventing it from doing any more harm. The Department also announced the seizure of approximately $8.6 million in cryptocurrency in illicit profits.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/qakbot-malware-disrupted-international-cyber-takedown

I'm not just sure though, how big (or small?) it was as compare to others organizations that they have dismantled around the EU region, specially around Russia and Ukraine.

Perhaps it might be better if you can moved it in this board: Legal.
732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: August 31, 2023, 03:29:29 AM
Expecting big win to happen, which means 1000X with small bankroll. This have got very low chance and we should keep on trying by which the funds keep draining. There are gamblers who have the patience to experiment with very small bankroll and they spend it periodically. When calculated as a whole what we've lost seems to be really big, but even if something is achieved this couldn't compensate what we've lost in the event of experimenting.

It's based on luck, and if you really have the guts and feeling that you are going to win, then bet on it. I know someone recently who won on 3000x on Crazy time with small bet and it was just extreme luck on his end.

And it was funny that he almost fell on the floor as he was running because he can't believed that he actually hit that green color that he picks and the wheel stop at 3000x, crazy story.
733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: August 30, 2023, 12:26:40 PM
^^ I think it's really hard to separate animal cruelty like cockfighting to other gambling. I mean there are countries that really like cockfighting and this become part of their culture and tradition. Yeah, it's cruel, but what can we do if it is being practice for thousands or even hundreds of years?

And as for the subject matter, I'm also not familiar with casino's offering this. So this is not possible to the OP, and I do not think that casinos are going to offer this cockfighting for many reasons. To be fair, I'm also from a country that grow up seeing cockfighting becoming a tradition and sports and used it to gamble.
734  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not going to $12k. on: August 30, 2023, 12:14:40 PM
It is impossible for us to see bitcoin go below 15k again as we only have some months left to the halving and the price of bitcoin must be between the 20k-30k range,which is what we are experiencing now. I am hoping to see a pump in the price to 40k at the end of this year. This means that if bitcoin goes below 15k we won't be able to see 40k price by the end of this year. This will also affect the halving impact on bitcoin price. The halving will bring the bull market price and we are close to these two events so that is why we can't get a lower price. Bitcoin has hit its lowest price last year and wouldn't go back because there have been correction in the price already.
This is true and unfortunately there are still some people who create some fud about it. I do not know why and what the reason is but I could say that it has been on a full effect recently and it looks like they are going to keep doing it for a while longer as well.

The only reason I see is that a, creating FUD might give them the opportunity to buy discounted bitcoin at those who are selling because of panic. b, those who really hates bitcoin and will say anything to destroy it. Fortunately, it's not going to help specially that the market remains calm even if we dip to $25k.

I get that some people may want to see it change a bit but that doesn't mean that it will, it will be very different on the long run. I think the best case would be having some sort of trouble where it will not be simple for anyone to end up with a good result. I think it should be forgettable cry for help or something from trolls and we should not really be caring about what they are saying and the price of bitcoin will do just fine without a worry.

Yes, just ignore those trolls and just keep calm and just like what the majority is doing, just stack up sats and we are good to go. And if we have done it, just look at the turnaround as the price is going up again. Which means it could have made us profits already.

The ball then is on Inoue's court whether to give Casimero his chance or not. The best thing that Casimero do is win this fight impressively, it might be good if it will be a knockout of the year candidate so that Inoue and his camp might consider him.

And with that, and it seems this is just a cherry pick fight for Casimero, he should win here. Otherwise, if he loses or just win in the judges scorecard, then it might he hard for him to setup a fight with Naoya as they might not be interested and it's like a low reward for them.
736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - Nov 15 on: August 27, 2023, 03:30:01 AM
Jerwin's only accomplishment at bantamweight is beating a journeyman on a 5 fight losing streak, yet somehow ends up getting an opportunity to fight for a title. We see once again that it's all about being well connected if you want to be a champion. Ancajas is a limited fighter but this is not the strongest division and Inoue is a beatable fighter. At this point another setback would be devastating but if he can win it would be interesting to see him against Alexandro Santiago who defeated Donaire a month ago.

I guess of all the rank boxers in WBA organization, only the name of Ancajas rings a bell. And perhaps they think that is not going to be the #1 rank boxer in their division will have the first crack at the champion, maybe someone lower like in the 5-6 ranks and that fits Ancajas.

To early for this champions to have unification fight though, yeah it's mostly the trend, but maybe organizations wanted their champions to defend their belts first before they allow the other champions of the other divisions. Not saying that they are not corrupt, but I think for me, it's better to defend it first within their body and see how strong their champions are.
737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Oleksandr Usyk VS Daniel Dubois For The Undisputed heavyweight champion on: August 27, 2023, 03:14:57 AM
It's a bit controversial though, whether it was a low ball or not, that is the big question. And then he gave Usyk all the time in the world to recover from that. And it seems that Dubois exposed Usyk weaknesses, that is the body shot and clearly whenever Dubois clips his in the side he will always look at the referee as if to tell that it's another low ball which clearly it's not.

So I guess Tyson Fury will have to do his side and beat Francis N. next fight so that they can all set up a mega fight in Saudi Arabia as what Eddie Hearn has been telling us. Wilder vs AJ, and then Usyk vs Fury.

It must have capital Cry

Of course, this is the basics of gambling, you need to have money because you are going to used it to play in casinos, games like slots or sports betting.

However, which one should you be more dependent on when it comes to making money from the casino!

Is it really good luck for you?
Which basic technique to use?

Depends on the game that you wanted to play, as I have said, if you want to go and play slots wherein there is no skills needed by money + beginners luck. But if you evolved like wanted to be a a poker player, then you should have at least learn some techniques like bluffing or some techniques. There is also what we call systems like Martingale and reverse Martingale, but for beginners this is not recommended.
739  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not going to $12k. on: August 26, 2023, 12:03:46 PM
For me, we have reach the bottom already for this bear market when we go down to $15,500 last year. The only what that we might see another lowest low is that if we have another black swan even like Terra Luna and the FTX collapse.

So far the dip that we have has something to do with Elon Musk (as first speculated), or some bad timing in the Chinese market causing a huge dump.

But hopefully, there will be no black swan event this year, thus we might not see the price going below $20k at least.
740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: August 26, 2023, 11:48:01 AM
I think it's a game that's played publicly between two groups of people who send their cocks in the fight (after drugging that cock a sip of alcoholic beverage) to give a hard and long fight, but I don't know if there's a casino that offers it. These games are not displayed in TV as well because people think that such games are insane, even they won't display bull fight, bull races and lots of other things that are available in this world but are tagged as insane, which is why due to no high recognition of the game, casinos also don't prefer listing such fights.

Excuse, what do you mean when you say alcohol is used in cockfighting, on the animals themselves? I had never heard anything like that before.
Ideally the owner of the roaster would prefer if it is completely aware of its surroundings and can focus on fighting, giving alcohol to an animal against its will and then forcing them to fight to death sounds even worse than most of the stuff I have read in this thread.  Sad

What country are you from, by the way? Have you personally seen people doing that before betting on roasters or it is only you have only heard about it?

Lol, this is also my first time to hear alcohol being used for cockfighting, it's not that they are going to be strong or tough during a fight. That's how they are breed in the first place, that's why they are called cockfighters as they are always ready and train to kill each one inside the arena without alcohol on their system.

Anyhow, as others have mentioned already, no crypto based casinos are going to offer this kind of sports. Maybe they are afraid that some groups might call them out. So it's better to just play it locally, in my opinion. If the OP can't find it in his place, then he has to travel to places like he mentioned to enjoy and bet on this game.
