941  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do I invest in cryptocurrency or coinbase COIN on: July 04, 2021, 10:43:18 AM
Is this Coinbase Global Inc or NASDAQ that OP is referring to?  It is a good idea to invest in cryptocurrency because of its high ROI compared to the stock market.  But you should choose the right coin to buy like the top coins in the market cap because if you just buy random ones that go through the hype you might just go bankrupt.  You should also know the risk when investing in crypto due to the rapid change of its prices or volatility.  You should also know if your target is short-term or long-term.

I think he is referring to buying coinbase shares and not actual crypto currencies.
I would suggest everyone to only invest in crypto directly in the spot. That's the most safest investment.

One thing i noticed that the crowd has come less in numbers today. I wonder why  Huh

Saw a headline or something about about complaining about crowds at the games, can't find it now but there was definitely some blame on crowds or overcrowding. Maybe that.


Was the headline related to Covid-19 ?

I hope no one is effected from the virus as there are so many close contacts and violation of safety measures at this Euro tournament.  Huh
943  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Stake frozen my account $181k from sports betting (only Euros/Wimbledon) on: July 04, 2021, 09:32:48 AM
This is very unlucky case for you, I am sure you were aware of the KYC procedure if you gonna push the gambling limits over $100k. Stunna and other Stake casino representatives will surely answer your questions, they are not going to ruin the Stake reputation unless you actually broke the ToS. Btw, did you try to contact Eddie by email? (Eddie@stake.com)

For sure stake is a reputed casino and they would not scam for $181K. I am sure upon investigation either the OP will be at the fault or this case will be closed after resolving and releasing the money to the OP. However i still believe that the OP will be at fault. He must have breached any terms of stake.

Just a quick question I need clarification on, what are the features that make your gambling review platform differs from all the other existing gambling review platforms, and also do you have an already working app in play stores ready to download and used by users.

Unfortunately i don't see anything unique about this casino review site. Rather the site is quite confusing and i fail to understand how did they numbered the casino based upon which category. There are many trusted casino's which should be on top of the list but i see bc-game on the top  Huh
A lot needs to be improved on this site.
945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: July 04, 2021, 07:42:31 AM
It's always a lack of control, if you have a control to yourself you wouldn't be able to lose so much in gambling since you would be able to control yourself to stop playing well if someone managed to master this kind of behavior or skill the user would be able to control his losses and won't spend too much and end up losing all their money.

It's not hard to control yourself in gambling, I believe, majority of gamblers are responsible, yes, they maybe lose some money but they are enjoying. If getting out of control is a major problem, then we should not be seeing gambling operators still up now, that's the logic.

Gambling business is still running does not mean that gamblers are responsible. There may be few gamblers who are responsible ones but majority of the gamblers just play to get quick profits and have no plan. If you only depend on fate in gambling, then you won't be able to win in long term.

Actually, in England there is no fuill stadium - Wembley was filled only up to 25% of capacity. On semfinals and final it will be filled up to 75%. In other cities stadiums are filled from 20% to 50% of capacity. Only in Copenhagen stadium was filled up to 75% and in Budapest it was 100% full. But I think that in these cities spectators had to be vaccinated or to have negative test to enter.
Yes, in England situation may be not that good, but to enter stadium negative test result or proof of vaccination is required, so I don't think that potential risk is big:
https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/news/025b-0ef33753d7d0-100629325be2-1000--key-information-for-euro-spectators/

Even as per your analysis, the potential risk is low but why take risk which can be easily avoided ?
The stadiums should not be allowed more than 50% of the capacity and wearing of mask inside the stadium should be mandatory. We don't see any sign of mask anywhere in the crowd  Sad
947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You got a pifzer ? Then you can be eligible for lottery in Poland. on: July 04, 2021, 04:52:21 AM
Months before we heard a news where to increase the chances of people getting vaccinated they government gave them a chance to win prizes, lotteries and even in some countries you are allowed to travel for free. Yet again the Government of Poland announced quite an unusual prize for people who have gotten pifzer. You are eligible to participate in the lottery plus the prizes are up to 260,000$!!!! Which is a great news. But unfortunately only 35% of the people in Poland are vaccinated yet. Not only that read this :
Quote
From 1 July every 500th person to take the dose will receive a cash prize of PLN200, while every 2,000th person will receive PLN500. The Polish Government will be giving away five prizes of PLN50,000 every week for three months, alongside the incentive each month to receive PLN100,000 and a Toyota Corolla for two lucky winners. The final winners will scoop up the PLN1m and a Toyota CH-R each... If you were thinking of moving to Poland, then now’s your chance. And if you need an electric scooter, they’re flogging them too, 720 to be precise.


Now that's a gamble that you gotta try! If you are from Poland then you have to get the shot! I do think this is an interesting gamble for the people there what do you think ? ?

https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/12395/pfizer-for-prizes-as-poland-launches-covid-lottery
lol this is just a copy from what other country did previously and i Believe it is in Oklahoma if i am not mistaken that offers lottery wins for those who will be participating in vaccination .

But this is a good step still for the increasing demand from the government to stop this virus.

The question is will this stop on lotteries and gambling or do we anticipate that government will allow access to each and every facility only to those people who are vaccinated  Huh  

I heard that in some part the government is giving tax relief to the people who got vaccinated. Soon vaccine will be made mandatory.

Half time ended with  England advantage with 1-0 i think both coaches made mistakes, first Ukraine rushed to the corner back from the first second of the match, which made him under bombardment, they should have taken the initiative as they did after conceded the goal to send a clear message that he is not afraid of the opponent and that he is able to harm him, but this did not It happens only after being late in the result.
Southgate also retreated and receiving the game immediately after the goal is not justified in any way, he could have come out tied or even losing, he must advance more to decide the match from the first minute in the second half, they must go in this direction.

Ukraine played better than I expected them to. But now same thing again and early goal against them. That's touch psychologically because they were quite close a couple of times to score. There is no way back now...

England are now 3-0 and probably they have the place in the Semi finals. Taking a lead in the knock out stages often does make the difference.
England defense is not so strong but they should easily defend the three goals lead.


949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [CONMEBOL] Copa America 2021 Discussion Thread on: July 03, 2021, 08:09:26 PM
I hope Argentina will win today by 2-0
I also hope Argentina will win and the parentage of my confidence is more than 90%. And the score could be more than one goal by Ag.

And I ma very curious to Brazil Vs Argentina match in this tournament. Hopefully in Final we will see the match.


It will be a dream final , if it happens.  Smiley
I can't even imagine the hype and excitement for this final but for that Argentina need to win todays match against Ecuador. Shouldn't be difficult but upsets do happen more often in football.

I hope many of you are watching the Euro 2020 these days. By looking at the matches and full crowd attendance, it seems that there was no Covid-19 in England ever.
How can they allow full crowd attendance in the games and we have witness jam packed stadiums with no one wearing a mask ?

Has UK overcome the pandemic  Huh

No UK hasn't overcome the pandemic. They have a problem with the delta variant at the moment which is rising. The Euro 2020 is the first large scale football event again. From the pictures we see that most people are nkt wearing a mask anymore. The government is aware of the safety risks and uses the event as a trial run. If corona cases are going to soar in 2 weeks, we will likely see harder measures again.

The covid-19 cases are usually identified within the 14 days of the exposure. So if the UK government isn't stopping people to follow the covid protocol and then start the lockdown again after 2 weeks when the number of cases arises, then who cares. The damage would already have been done.

However for the government, the Euro 2020 will be ended by that time and hence the event will be completed successfully with full crowds. Job accomplished.

Not the record you would want to break but Sri Lankans did it anyway and dethroned the Indians. Subcontinent teams are leading the tally lol. Poms and Kiwis are doing okay, although they played less games. Australians team is winner with their high percentage of wins.


What can yoiu expect from the Srilankan team? I glad to see that the subcontinent teams are dominating somewhere Grin

Even Zimbabwe is pretty down the list. If they are given more opportunities to play then they might come up. You can expect ENG, NZ and AUS  to be at the bottom considering they dominated the cricket world till the end of 90s.

These number represents nothing as some teams play more matches than the other. The better analysis would be to calculate the percentage of the loses for each time(Game lost / total games played)  as then we can do the numbering of teams from top to bottom.

Can anyone explain me how this crypto calculator works ?

This is a useless calculator because it cannot help you create strategies for the dice game. Even if you input the base bets and multiplier, you cannot be sure that you will gonna win or lose the bet. The "Bet payout " cannot be determined unless we know the result of the bet.
955  Other / Meta / Re: What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk? on: July 03, 2021, 09:42:37 AM
When judging bitcointalk, you should keep in mind that forums are not as popular as they used to be, that's the simple fact and in that regard bitcointalk ain't no different than many others. I've been active on various forums (and still am) for ~20 years, and situation is pretty much similar everywhere; old users are becoming less active (which is perfectly natural) while younger generations have bunch of options nowadays that those in the late 90s/early 00s didn't have.

I don't agree to this as bitcointalk is still popular for the new and the old users. Since its not easy to rank to Hero Member and above, those old users (Specially the bounty hunters) will not leave the forum.
I can't remember any other crypto forum which is as popular as bitcointalk. Would you like to share few of the forums you are referring here ?
956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: June 28, 2021, 01:12:12 PM
Damn poor proteas..

No doubt Windies are the real giant and formidable force in the T-20 format and only this team has a ability to mock their opponent. I'm afraid to say but if they manage to click this year in October then i don't see any team is able to defeat them. Even World XI can't compete them when they are in form.

The West Indies squad for T20 World Cup will be like picking the best players from each of the IPL franchises and squeezing them to a 15-member side. Look at the names - Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Sunil Narine.etc. These are some of the best players in this format. Other teams have a maximum of 3 or 4 T20 specialists and West Indies have 15 T20 specialists. That is the difference. Unless there are any issues with team bonding or cohesion, West Indies should be the favorites.


No one is looking at West Indies team squad at the moment and they will be surprise to see such a perfect T20 team for this world cup. Also consider that this world cup is being played in UAE which is a batting paradise and there are big hitters for the WI. If west indies start the tournament well, i will place the bet on them to be the winner in the early stages.  Smiley

I am using Dark Mode for every other thing and I would love to get it for our forum as well.


Ok there are plenty of ways being shared by members on how to apply dark mode but do you think it will be better than the normal mode. I mean dark mode looks good but when you have to do a lot of reading and writing, i think the normal mode suits better.  Ok i understand that everyone have different opinions.   Smiley

Can you tell me what will be your ROI if you implement this setup ?
2500 CBX will cost around 168$ at current price level. If you can show me your total investment and the profit rates, i would also be interesting in setting this up.

Hahaha, I'm not even thinking about ROI, I got into things at the wrong time, I'm down around 10k USD lol so I just want this coin to not die and hopefully get resurrected. Not thinking about profits only HODL.

You must have bought at the high prices. I am asking from the perspective of a new investor in this project. Is it worth investing in it at this moment ?
If the team is alive and following the roadmap, things will recover for sure.
