7501  Economy / Securities / Re: [HAVELOCK] CasinoBitco.in (CBTC) IPO Official Thread on: September 14, 2013, 06:45:59 PM
too late for in?

For a long term gain absolutely..to make a profit in a week maybe....my guess is well hit .001 in a month. I would do your own research, read the prospectus, check out the site, run the #'s and weigh the risk. factor in that bitcoin gambling is set to take over most online gambling in the next year or two and I'd say we have a decent investment here. Not to mention your Btc value will increase as well.

I am bullish on CBTC but 0.001 in a month, that's $3.75 mil evaluation at $125 per btc, for a company that is probably going to do 15-20 BTC profit this week? 

That equates to 0.00000067 BTC per share for the week.

The real thing I want to see (not just at Casinobitco.in) is how btc companies as a whole, are going to maintain profits in BTC for investors because as BTC price increases in USD, then BTC wagered will decrease per Gambler (wagered in USD per gambler will stay the same, IMO). 

The way CBTC accomplishes some of this is gain more players, in sports book and casino.  Right now the market is saturated with both and the amount of BTC people is not growing at a large amount yet.  Therefore CBTC initially needs to gain in other casinos and sportsbook players.  (KOS jumps off the handle a bit but is well versed into a true gamblers thoughts of comparing books looking for the best odds, CBTC needs to become more competitive in that regard without risking to much, which I believe they will do)

But ultimately these companies offer diminishing returns in BTC if BTC continues to grow as it is supposed to do.

For example a standard bettor would bet $1 in USD (~0.01 btc right now) on a 3-4 parlay (once they get this feature up), but let's say BTC price doubles back to $250 for a coin, I would guess the bet in BTC would be halved.

Therefore CBTC is still gaining the USD wagered and percentages but not the BTC wagered like today.  Therefore meaning that share price of 0.001 (at btc of $250) would make the CBTC valuation of $7.5 mil, and still making 15-20 BTC per week. So to get back to your "suggested" 3.75 mil USD valuation it would be back to 0.0005 BTC per share. 

Some are going to get caught holding the bag on these stocks, IMO with the increase in BTC price


** this also does not take into account within a year or 2 US betting will need to be blocked, imo**



Not sure if I understand or agree. If I am holding 20 btc worth of shares, and the market price of btc doubles, I still have 20 btc worth of shares no?

If I bettor should bet 1 btc as you suggested and the market price doubles, would they not still have a 1 btc bet? I'm assuming all bets will stay btc denominated regardless of market price just like any other btc gambling site. Maybe Im just not grasping this but Im not getting why it would be tough to maintain profits with a rising btc price, in my mind I trust btc more than fiat and I keep most of my money in btc with no fear.

Also, I would think the choice to block US betters would be up to CBTC and very hard to actually enforce (TOR, proxies)

They would have to be pressured by fiat banks just like partypoker was years ago. We are using btc, its international currency. If they had to block US IP's wouldnt people just do as they have done the past couple years and just take a few extra steps to hide their location? Correct me if I'm wrong but an all btc denominated company in a gambling friendly location is fairly safe. Just like exchanges or businesses who do not deal with fiat currently can't be regulated. We only have to follow their rules when we use THEIR currency.

Am I completely wrong here? Don't take me as argumentative I am not just having a discusssion

He's saying he views it like this:

I go to the casino and have $600 I can spend. At the price of $100/BTC, I have 6 BTC.

A month later, I go to the casino with the same $600 to spend. At the price of $200/BTC, I have 3 BTC.

Therefore, theoretically the amount of BTC wagered would go down because at the new price of $200/BTC, I don't have $1200 I can throw at it.

@ranlo 6.3MH are really great.  But currently, your miners seem to have stopped mining. Can you please check?
@trid Sorry for the copy paste error. We fixed it.
@LiteMine Great, you started mining with us. Confirmed balance is updated every hour.
@bigdaub Nice, welcome to LTCRabbit!

Miners are being moved currently (I hope). I don't have physical access to them so I'm waiting for the person they're hosted with to get back to me. I'll keep you up-to-date on that. In the meantime I have the 250 KH/s I do have access to on the pool.

Just for clarification...

Does an essay need a minimum of 1,000 words to be credited? Also, if I write 1.6K on essay A and 1.7K on essay B, do I get 2, 3 or 3.3 shares?

All words are counted. That would be 3.3 shares. But it rounds down (I think) to your nearest full 1k, so it would *count* as 3 shares. If you added 700 more words, it would be 4.

So if you wrote 3.9, only 3 would be counted and the .9 is lost forever?

Words are always counted. ie if you wrote 500 words today and 500 in a year, you will complete that first share.

If you wrote 130k words today you would get 80 shares this round and the remaining 50 next round.

When the script is run, it calculates the *total* and subtracts your payments. Ie. if you got 50 shares this round, wrote 50 more next round but deleted 30 shares of your first round (paid) articles, you would only get paid for 50+50-50(paid)-30(deleted)=20 shares.

"Learning English" and being a Grammar Nazi are 2 different things.

I would never have called him out on this were it not for essentially claiming that he is a professional writer and has the degree to prove it. When you flat out lie like this, it makes the rest of us look bad. Furthermore, he wants 1 BTC per 1000 words (due to his extensive knowledge of the English language), although he, again, is lying to earn money.

You can tell based on the press releases posted on BitcoinPRBuzz alone that he is far less than professional. This leads me to believe that he is attempting to use trickery and false claims to get paid more by people who otherwise don't know better. I have morals and I can't see myself sitting by while things like this happen. They destroy the reputation for each and every one of us, so when people do things like this it has a direct effect on me as well.

I'm not saying it is a problem to point out his errors, I am saying that there is a difference between "Learning English" and being a Grammar Nazi.

I don't see where this comes from, though.

I'm coming from a few posts ago, where I said something like "I didn't know that was supposed to be like that" and you said "English is not a hard language to learn".

Actually, Boelens said "English is not a hard language to learn."

I would like to counter that - for non-native speakers - English is one of the hardest languages to learn due to the meaning of many words being based upon its context.

Read the context. This is all based on Psybits insinuating that he's a professional English writer with a honorary degree to prove it. With all the mistakes he makes, there is no way this is possible (or he went to a horrible school). The comment about English being easy or hard to learn isn't based on everyone; it is based on Psybits not knowing even the basics still, even after supposedly graduating with an honorary degree.

Context, context, context.

And how does that lead in to "grammar Nazi?" If someone were to run a red light or a stop sign in their car, would you claim that anyone who gives them a ticket is a "driving Nazi" because they expect that people know the basics of the road?

So I have no idea what you're trying to get at, considering you haven't validated your statement. I could just as easily say, "an apple is not a car," but what does that mean? How is that relevant to the discussion?

Fixed tons of grammatical errors in your post. You should hire me as an editor, considering you're claiming this is professional, :p.

Further edited for stylistic reasons.

I did my own revisions prior to your post, and it looks like you edited the first draft I posted. My post now covers everything (including things like correcting "ghost writing" to "ghost-writing").

I just can't fathom how someone can graduate with Honor's in something they don't even full understand. That is beyond me.

Seeing all your edits, I might have you edit my book after I edit it for content. I didn't even know high-quality was supposed to be written like that.

If it is of high quality, you don't hyphenate it. If it is high-quality, you do.

Ridiculously overpriced for an IPO which gonna issue more public shares in the future plus as far as I understand their actual plan is to sell the company?

Maybe I understood wrong though.

If they end up somehow pulling, say 18 BTC a day in profit, it will have a 100% yearly ROI. There's a bit of work to get it there, but I think it's possible. Note: that's profit, though, not just income/deposits.
My concern is on their thoughts of selling the company. I would like some more clarification on this - that is the reason I never bought (though I doubt I would have make it - Havelock should seriously reconsider the way these IPOs are done, I mean I was only lucky in the Dealcoin IPO to fill my bid wtf).

If they sold the company, wouldn't the sale price be paid out to stockholders? At least that's what I would guess would happen. And if that happened, they would sell for a profit (I hope) so stockholders would earn more as a result.
Well I speculated that if they are willing to sell the company this would be in the first 30days period and when the price would go as high as x5, high enough to attract a buyer but not very much to discourage him.

It seems I was wrong (but maybe they were gotten by surprise too)!

Ahh, you mean like wait until peak price and sell asap (like the "pump'n'dump" coins do)?

I think these guys are in it for the long-run.

I seriously don't understand why one would bid 0.10 BTC / day on a site with 1 daily click (most of the times 0). That's over $13/click.

Branding. When I work with premium advertisers they don't care if there's 50k clicks or 0 clicks; they care about how often their ads are seen. As such, they pay by raw CPM (meaning if one person goes to 100 pages of your site, they will pay for all 100 views of their ad).

Hey all! While it's something I generally just do for my own sites, I am willing to take on projects related to SEO. I can handle both on and off-site SEO, and no access to the site is needed (I just draft up documents after exploring the site to note down what should be changed and what it should be changed to). All changes you make are completely up to you, though I will do a full evaluation of the site with your goals in mind and help you shape it to fit your mold.

This can also be either a short-term or a long-term deal, where I can help evaluate just a couple pages, hundreds of pages or even thousands of them (or an on-going deal where I evaluate each new page that's added). Basically, I let you have full control, while I deal with the commentary part of it.

If you're interested, please send me a pm. In it, please add the following information:

  • Basic overview of the site, keywords you wish to hit, your goals and (if possible) a link
  • Short-term or long-term work, how many pages, etc.
  • On or off-page SEO
  • Budget
  • Anything else you wish to add

I think the above should cover most of it. If there are any general questions, feel free to ask here. If you're interested in my services, please make it known via pm.

Thanks all!

The exchange mcxnow now pays interest on deposited funds, every six hours... might be interesting to work that fact in for a little bit extra payout?

By little you mean really little. 140 LTC returns 0.02 LTC per 6 hours right now, and that will be shrinking as more funds get moved over there.

Not worth it for something like Middlecoin.
