801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos and gamblers are struggling with high tx fees.? on: December 11, 2023, 07:05:10 AM
A little guessing . Maybe Bitcoin gamblers only have Bitcoin to play with, and feel reluctant to exchange to other cryptocurrencies. There are other goals, such as if you experience victory, the results obtained are also directly in the form of Bitcoin. Or maybe as you say, they are rich people and don't care about fees. It's better to bear the fees and remain anonymous and comfortable and not have to worry about having to exchange all kinds of coins.
This can be very true. There are still no KYC gambling sites. But they are centralized gambling sites aside the Web3 gambling sites. Which means they can be force to do KYC at anytime by submitting their identity documents. All gamblers should know that.

It is also good to know that the fee is not much recently. It it is expensive during the week days, it went less expensive during the weekend and it went down to $2. Gamblers can wait until it is weekend to fund their gambling account.

I am yet to start out fully into sports betting based on some of the things I have read out it on this forum. I have enjoyed reading the comments from this thread and even though I am not the OP, I have gotten some great ideas.

People's worst experiences over shadows their best experiences and it is scary for me. I am now thinking that I would have to wait until have the holidays to try out sports betting since I didn't budget for it this month. Hope to share my exp
Gambling is not what you can force on yourself. But if you know you are having fun while gambling, you can just gamble with little amount of money which you can afford to lose. During holiday if you have the time, you can try to gamble with matches in your favorite leagues and see how it is. But you have to be very careful. You may start and be getting addicted, do not put high amount of money on gambling.

Let people like him continue to say rubbish. Anything that will make bitcoin price to get to $100 would have collaped all other cryptocurrencies that are existing. The extinction of bitcoin literally means the absence of bitcoin. And that means the absence of bitcoin literally means the extinction of cryptocurrencies.
804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Gamblers should not believe in first game win trap on: December 09, 2023, 05:25:46 PM
I noticed there has been some topics about how first time winning is dangerous. What I am saying is someone that has not gamble before, to gamble and win. That it is dangerous. Yes it may be dangerous because the person may have the exciting mind to gamble more  and lose. But that is not the whole true story.

If not talking about the first time loss gamblers that later become addicted, what you are saying is not completely true. If we can do a survey of gamblers that won or lost in their first game, the people that will chose won can not be 100%. They might not be 70%. It may be 50%. Some people will gamble for the first time and lose and continue to gamble. The main reason is because they think gambling is a way money can be made. Unless they change their the way they think about gambling, that gambling is is not a money making means, first time win or loss is not necessarily the cause of their addiction.

Gamble with the money you can lose.
805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: First winning can be a trap on: December 09, 2023, 05:10:35 PM
Almost everything you do for the first time causes you to have a wrong opinion about it. Therefore, and your first ideas about the chances of winning at gambling will be false. The more you gamble, the more your perceptions will change. Unfortunately, personal experience is almost impossible to pass on to another person, so we all learn from our mistakes and this applies not only to gambling.
I wish I can see a study of people that are addicted, for us to know about their first bet. To know if it is a won or a lost bet. I know everything can not be a won bet. Some gamblers that are newbies may first lose and continue to gamble. Our mindset also is very important. If anyone is greedy and looking for money by all means through gambling, the first match do not matter. If the person win, he will want to win mirte. If the person lose, he will want to look for ways to win.
806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe you can win on sports betting by analyzing a betting lines only? on: December 09, 2023, 11:03:18 AM
If you analyze a match, all you will notice is that the old of the team you think that would win the match will be very low to the odd of the club that you think will not lose. The odd alone can be discouraging. It is good to analyze a match to know if you should select it or. But we should also consider the odd. It is good to know that a club that have most chance to win a match can still disappoint you by losing or drawing the match.
807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to know penalties are about to be played in football matches on: December 09, 2023, 10:59:07 AM
So far, from my experience in sports betting, I have never once chosen or used a penalty shootout odd because it is difficult to determine or predict.
I have gone for it like 5 times before and I won all. I won all because I do not just go for it, since many years that I have been gambling, just 5 times is low and likely the reason. If it is frequent, it can be what can start losses. I will not advice that to be done frequently.

None of the applications support specific alerts for matches that will lead to penalty-shootout. I use many livescore applications such as Livescore, Sofascore, 777score and other applications, but I can't find the feature you mean. Indeed, the only way to find out which matches will go to the penalty round is to check it regularly. But yes, it's a good suggestion for those applications to implement this special feature so that gamblers will no longer have the trouble of having to always monitor and waste their time Smiley.
I have also not seen a site or app that will be so specific like this. I think the fun that can be in sport bet is the in-play. If you are going through the in-play, some gambling sites will show that a match as been paused due to foul, and then continue if it has been resolved. This can be a means to check some fouls and see if it will lead to penalty. But this is difficult to do always than to get notification.

You created an account today and asked for a loan 10 minutes after you created your account.

The most valid reasons you can be given loan by someone on this forum is if you are in a campaign earning money weekly.or if you have collateral.

You are not qualified.
809  Other / Meta / Re: (Any Guesses?) Are there many real (unpaid) people still posting here at BCT? on: December 08, 2023, 04:26:07 PM
It is called Bitcointalk (BTT), not BCT.

First, let me correct you, it's either you call it Bitcointalk or BTT, not BCT.

Sorry for going off topic, but there are things I just can't let go Smiley.
No, no, no fucking no. Don't spread nonsense. There's no logic saying BTT.

Let's break down bitcointalk :
Bitcoin Talk
Bit Coin Talk
You can't write Bi Tcoin Talk ?? What does Tcoin mean ?

Do you say MS or MO for Microsoft ?
Do you say VW or VK for Volkswagen ?

And it's already been discussed in the past, the result is indisputable : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121806.0
Thought was the only one that felt the need to call it as it is...BCT  Cool

And in case anybody is doubting this correction, the trick is in the syllables which justifies the shorthand for BitCointalk as it has three syllables in total, thanks for pointing this out again Cool.

Why is bitcoin not called BC?

There is no official short form for Bitcointalk. It can be called BTT.

There is a thread opened about it and this is what I posted there if I should not repeat myself:


Bitcoin is not called BC.

If there is no official abbreviation, that does not mean calling it BCT is also correct.

It can be called BTT. But depending on what that is official.

Before I know this forum, I saw it abbreviated as BTT on another forum that I was.

People that I know are calling it BTT until yesterday that some people said it can be called BCT.

I will choose BTT as bitcoin is called BTC.

It can be called BTT as many people refer to it as BTT.

This is just too assuming that you can't control yourself and that you'd eventually lose your coins through gambling. Not everyone is addicted to it. Just try not to gamble, you don't even need to stake your coins.
You are right. What if someone becuase he does not want to gamble with his money, he staked his coins and bear market begins. The person may significantly lose when the thinks he is going to gain.

But it does make sense if you wanna a guarantee to make money, staking stablecoins will be a good option. But 21 days seem too much. I would stay away from that.
You can not staked stable coins on noncustodial wallet.
812  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: December 08, 2023, 01:37:42 PM
The another alternative is using time lock, you can lock your coins how long you want.
Time lock does not mean anything, you can have access to your coins at anytime. Time lock is not on blockchain, which means the transaction was not broadcasted at all.

Or the best solution is to learn about self control without need to use any tool that could give drawbacks of hack, urgent need, human mistake etc.
This is just the best for me. But when I staked my coins, I was unable to use it for anything, it is also a good idea.
813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Count down to Bitcoin halving. on: December 08, 2023, 01:10:56 PM
It would also be nice to keep track of the halving count down and activities and to do that, the link below can help you out by taking you to the coin market cap page where it is visible to see.


https://coinmarketcap.com/

Click on the Bitcoin halving at the front page, there you would see the halving details.
Is any link needed? Probably some newbies can see it useful. As for me, I do not need to see those halving link, there are many of them online.

What I do is to track the block. The block to halving is block 840000, we are on block 820261 now. In April next year, there will be halving at block 840001 if 10 minute block reward is used to calculate it. It is as easy as that.
814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will you say within your limits to encourage responsible gambling? on: December 07, 2023, 05:38:14 PM
What if the gambler that won $6000 already continue to gamble and wins more? The chance that if a gambler continues to gamble he may later start losing, but it is still under probability because there are also chances that he can win more. The best is to never give an advice to a gambler as a work that is working in a casino.
815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sites and current transactions fee on: December 07, 2023, 07:59:54 AM
This is the reason why I always keep gambling funds inside my gambling site accounts , yeah I leave small funds in each casino that I love to play being ready for this kind of situation .i have learned this many time before and yes now I know how to manage congested market.
so this may be lessons for those who loves to gamble when they have time to try let your small funds inside the site(of course like investing only the amount you can afford to lose) so you have multiple target , to have gambling funds ready? or to use as Holding amount.
But let us be truthful because gamblers are most likely to add more funds to their gambling account as the old funds is exhausted and gone. Are you sure that your gambling funds on the gambling sites are not used up and you will want to add more funds? Gamblers will just prefer to use altcoins this time because they still and always have cheap transaction fee. As my coins has been used up with losses, I have been using altcoins instead.

The first thing that I don't understand is, why you sounds like Bitcoin is the only one cryptocurrency that can be used to gamble? there are a lot cryptocurrency out there with cheap transactions fee, TRX is one of the example where you can send the coins without any fee as long as you stake some TRX in your wallet.
There are sites that are supporting altcoins like Tron. Tron is even common on most crypto gambling sites.
816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You Convince Someone On Something That Will Not Work on: December 06, 2023, 05:34:31 PM
You're absolutely right, as much as I don't want to do this, I guess I have no option but to be like Caezar, washing my hands for whatever happens to him I will just proceed and give him a warning about the risk of that method and too much gambling and I let him decide for himself he is old enough to decide for himself, sometimes beginner's luck in gambling is a curse because it will heighten your motivation to play more.

Allow him to find it or to see it for himself.

Why? He is a friend and they can also discuss about it. Friends learn from friends. I do not see anything bad for him to tell his friend before it will be too late. Even if his friend will make profit from it, he should just let him knows that martingale strategy can be dangerous, he should still tell his friend and let them discussion on it. Martingale strategy can be very profitable, but so can the loss be.
817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you deal with high transaction fee on BTC on gambling? on: December 06, 2023, 04:36:20 PM
Sorry if my question may seem stupid, but aren't there casinos where you can use LN? because at this point LN would solve this problem of high rates. Or maybe some casino that uses altcoins and stablecoins
I have not used a casino that has lightning network. If many casinos can adopt it, it would be good. I will not have to use altcoin for gambling in time like this anymore.

You can see some gambling sites that support lightning network: https://cryptogambling.com/casinos/lightning-network

Rollbit and BC.game are recommended.
818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: December 06, 2023, 04:18:27 PM
I don't think this is common anyways, maybe it's not a common thing from where i live in my country or so, I don't see any sense in making a sponsor or a pay later offer on gambling that it's not sure that the gambler is going to win, if it had been a sure and guaranteed game bet, the first person that would have love to join will be the sponsor, instead, i see it more of a way of getting gamblers into debt and later be used as ransome against them because when they loose the bet, they won't have a means of paying back, if it were to be real financing, then the gambler should not be in debt, instead be giving the fund for gambling for free.
What that will be common are loaners. They will not be specific if they are borrowing gamblers money. So if you are a gambler, or not a gambler, you can borrow money from such person that loan. The person or organization do not care if you gamble or not. So with this, it is indirectly existing in all countries.

It is gamblers that should be wise, know the law of probability and not to be addicted. Gambling addicts are the ones that are borrowing money to gamblenand they will still lose it.
819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: December 06, 2023, 08:00:27 AM
Truth be told, I don't believe it's only addicts that are prone to losing huge sums in gambling, the fact the gambled wild a few times doesn't really make you an addict. What you should say is, there's always time in a gambler's life that he'll be pushed to gamble wild. Gambling wild a few time is different from addiction. Addiction is when you're already used to wild gambling and you don't think about nothing else other than to gamble. That's addiction.
This makes me remember one of my friends. I also know a guy that is not my friend like that but he said the same thing. They said that they gamble ones with huge amount of money and they regretted that they lost and that has been the last time they gamble. The other guy was my friends neighbor while we were in school. I also have a guy which was my departmental mate, he used his school fee to gamble and he lost it, he was lucky that his father gave him another school fees. He said he will never gamble again. These examples are not gambling addiction, you are right.

List of useful Bitcoin block explorers

Many Bitcoin block explorers for you to choose from the list. It's worthy to remind you that when you use Block explorers to check transaction history especially if it is yours, you must use Tor connection.

You can use Watch-only wallets to check balance and transaction history, can not spend coins from Watch-only wallets.

[Tutorial] How to monitor multiple addresses without Insert seed and key

If you want to check transactions with notes for privacy, use (with Tor connection too).
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin
https://blockstream.info/
Why Tor must be a must? It is only recommended for people that want anonymity. Such people should also be connecting their wallet to Tor.

People can use watch-only. But also they can use their wallet with seed phrase or private key to check the balance, not necessary to use blockchain explorer, except you want to track the transaction of coins that is not sent from or received on your wallet.
