Anyway who wants to bet on Derby winning or drawing? Draw or Derby win double chance x4 easy Wink

See, it really isn't difficult to see Man United losing or drawing to a team like Derby, as long as you have average quality and are willing to attack, you can cause them so much problems in defence. Why wasn't de Gea even on the bench we will not know. Why did he not bring in Sanchez yet? We don't know. Fellaini rescued them but Phil Jones lost it for them.

A little of topic.I have been reading that Man United financial situation is not very bright
Man had record revenue over 500 mln pounds but 487 mln pound debt is remaining

There are early birds saying that  Abramovich will sell Chelsea.Price is 3 bln pounds

It is because he has problem to extend his visa

Rumors all of them. United have an old debt problem we already know this. And Abramovich selling Chelsea after getting Sarri? No way.

Doesn't matter dice, poker, sports, smart contract, whatever. Only way to trust a site really is history and reputation. It makes it very hard for newcomers, for sure, but the ones that succeed meet all the minimum standards for crypto gambling. Provably fair is min requirement, proof of funds is another. Active and helpful customer support.

If you like dice, try the usual suspects, those who've been around for years and never have a problem with payout. Yolodice, Bitvest, Bitdice, so many to say.

Man United will not replace coach during season if Man United result will be very poor than maybe we can have coach change during winter break.There is not tragedy yet

Mourinho just needs to grow up and realize that his tactics and man management are not working for the current players he has. He may have been able to boss around guys like John Terry Lampard in the past or even Zlatan, but these are strong characters who can be shaped and truly professional. Now you have Sanchez and Pogba, who are sort of divas. I mean the piano playing of Sanchez and Pogba just being a ridiculous kid sometimes.

It's not his fault Mou but he has to evolve.

9604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: What's the difference between an exchange and a trading platform? on: September 25, 2018, 05:24:18 AM
Also one more difference, which I have seen, is that some trading platforms have no orderbooks at all. So you can buy and sell at whatever spot price they place, meaning, you can't put an order. You want to buy, you have to buy with fiat, sell, sell for fiat. So basically, it's just one big broker who will set the price, and earn from the spread. Exchanges and others earn from commissions, as they facilitate buying and selling between other users. Meaning to say they match up orders. You make a buy or sell order, someone takes it. Or you take an order someone else makes.

Every matched order gives a commission to the exchange.
9605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do You Think ICO investors are Decreasing? on: September 25, 2018, 04:49:03 AM
This will definitely be the case when people start to come in they will dump their ethereum in more ICOs because they does not have the skill to choose the top few ICO they should focus on and as time goes by their choosing of ICOs skills become better and they will not do what they do in their early days. Furthermore now is a bear period and most of the crypto user will be very careful to dump their coins into ICOs and maybe even leaving the crypto market is the option.

Skills to choose the best ICOs? Trust me, there's no such thing. People got lucky in 2016 and 2017. They invested in almost anything and they made money. You would have made money investing in EOS which is vaporware and stupid. You would have lost money investing in a solid product in the bull run at the beginning of the year.

Also the decline of investors could be because people are choosing pools, where 1 investment is actually made out of hundreds. So they get presale bonus and bulk bonus.
9606  Other / Archival / Re: Investing in Gambling Sites on: September 24, 2018, 12:40:57 PM
I would still suggest just investing with a low leverage even with a low amount, because you can test and check different options and see how much you will swing etc, etc.

There's a lot of reason on putting money in a low leverage, mostly because you want to play it safe and don't want to bust unlike other investors investing in the highest leverage they can.

Some sites even advertise 50x leverage ( while not a great idea for the big investor ) is a great idea for the small investors who is investing like 0.001 btc like me before I started this thread.

I was asking for help in this thread because some sites may go rogue and steal your bitcoins, so I just wanted some warnings on the way.

It's not all about making insane profits quick, but steady income over time Smiley

I'm with you on this. Personally, I have my investment on 1 site at max leverage, but those are very small amounts compared to what I'm prepared to invest in long-term dividends on my main site. Of course, on paper, historical performance for past 1 year looks good, almost >15% for me over 1 year, but that's at full x10 leverage, so essentially, it showed that the site only made me 1.5%. It's still great returns but less than 4% if I just keep it at Freebitco.in. Both sites I equally trust (which is not even 100% trust).

Curious which site is offering 50x? I'd love to put in 0.001 Wink

didn't even bother with creating an account so I have no idea about KYC
but I opened the site and found that the margin varying between 8-10% and this is insane , you would be better betting literally anywhere so won't even bother with the site unless the margin gets reduced ( it should be reduced a lot !! )

OK thanks. I didn't bother signing up either. 3% is probably the highest margin I'm ever willing to take on any gambling, and that's only if the features are so great and the lines so special. 8-10%? Even lotteries don't take this much except if you're a state lottery.

Add that to KYC requirements and this site is a huge no-no but okay at least it's right at account creation, I'll give you that.
9608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Wagerr - Sport Betting on The Blockchain - Update on: September 24, 2018, 07:38:57 AM
It's been quite a while since we heard about Wagerr development, and now I see they are branching out into stuff like masternodes and securing other type of casinos. Very hopeful in 2017 with all the betting blockchain platforms but I guess now we are seeing that the market was probably too small for too many competitors. End of the day we all stick to our dice and normal gambling without smart contracts. Did any of you sports betters ever tried this?
9609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: September 24, 2018, 04:11:48 AM
What a weekend for everyone. United frustrating, Chelsea frustrated. Liverpool make history. Burnley get first win.

I don't think many people predicted Chelsea to draw and even fewer predicted scoreless, which is for me excellent news because it boosts West Ham's chances and gives some confidence to Pellegrini.


Stupid headlines when I saw something in the news feed I thought Pocchetino was getting sacked haha, turns out he was just saying he could face being fired if they lose to Brighton. But if that really happens then we can confirm Tottenham have a really shit board of directors (we are only thinking it not yet confirming it).


Which headlines?  Can you post them?  And I don't think he 'could' get the sack even if they lose vs Brighton.  They need Poch...  Without him they'd be in football limbo...  Again.  Like they were under Redknapp, AVB and even before those two.

By headlines he probably means some idiot he saw post some baseless speculation somewhere. Wish people would stop calling or speculating for managers to be sacked after they lose a couple of games. Poch is going nowhere win or lose their next game. Spurs could easily win the league within a couple of years and Poch is probably the man to do it with them.

The headlines something like players react to shock announcement from boss. And highlighted the quote of where he said something like maybe he has a week, or something like that. So I thought he announced resignation, but he was just out of context quoted. Google gives me stupid headlines.
9610  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 Treasure Chest Is Back! 🎰🎰🎰 on: September 23, 2018, 09:47:07 AM
Nice one!
It's also interesting that BITdice has four decimal to make it harder to hit jackpot. I always thought that two decimals are standard.

Yeah four decimals also allows for higher possible multipliers.

I know at least two other dice sites with four decimals, and exactly so that you can go for high multipliers/payouts. That's sort of why dice is so popular IMO, the chance to hit it big with such a small bet. Personally never go for max payout except occassionally and I've won x100 a few times but seen plenty of hits of x10k or more. 100 satoshi on autobet hunting for that big payout seems to be popular with regular dicers.

I don't see how 2 decimals can make a big jackpot too. 1 in 10,000 will mean a lot of jackpot hits.

I think to chance to get the jackpot with 2 decimals will occur as much as possible because it is easier to get 2 decimals instead of 4 decimals but the jackpot that they hit will of course be the same. Because the calculation will be based on the basebet, big or small bet will determine the result, so if a player play on both site 2 decimals and 4 decimals and lets say he hits both with the same bet then the amount he receives will be exactly the same

No... I think the extra decimals means more difficult. Nobody makes four decimals and makes the jackpot hit on 77.7700. Every extra decimal means extra 10 multiplier. It is the difference between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 1,000,000 for 2 extra decimals. So if you could hit on 1 in 10,000 the jackpot would probably be much smaller than the jackpot on the 1 in 1 million. If not, then show me the site with 2 decimals and I guarantee I will hit jackpot in a few days Wink

This is strange to see this round 3 players didn't get any points. I thought the system made automatic picks for you if you forget, so they should have at least got correct scores for the expected winners like Manchester City? Or did they run out of picks or maybe forget to let the system pick for them?

Not that I'm complaining. Helps me move up the table to 19th Wink

My only exact score was United Wolves 1-1, thank you Wolves! Seems I wasn't the only one to predict that draw, so I don't feel so special now. I have a feeling I can get many points on United draws now.

Do you have a clear and transparent bankroll? I don't really see where the funds are being held for the casino at the moment. <-- important question.
We have enough bankroll to pay our users who play through the deposit. Even players can withdraw from the free coins except they didn't break any rules. Don't want to make it pubilc what's the bankroll website has at this point.


That would really help though. If you take a look at your dice competitors, then they have either the same advantage as you, if not much lower in terms of house edge but their big plus point is a transparent cold storage wallet that anyone can view as proof of funds. It's not so much that it proves you won't run of course, since any site can show that proof and still exit scam, but it means people have confidence you can have enough funds to pay out if ever someone wins something big.
9613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will it be the year for Ripple? on: September 22, 2018, 01:46:41 PM
After sleeping for so long, Ripple seems to be awake now and starts to run. Do you think it is now time for it to grow or is it just temporary? Many people are against it because they say that it is centralized but banks worldwide are pro Ripple. Does Ripple can go up to $100? What's your opinion about it?

Ask yourself this again after looking at all the facts and realizing that none of the price growths have ever been real. Everything is artificial, including this recent x2 growth (but to be fair, it was perhaps undervalued too quickly).

Banks are pro RIPPLE technology, not pro XRP token. Be aware of this and understand that their token can still be 0 cents and the tech would be just as great.

For this to be Ripple year, it has to be back at ATH and then some.

Thanks for the reminder! I was sure I got my picks in but I hadn't so all in now for the next 3 weeks.

Even when Palace are struggling Zaha always looks somewhat impressive. When they were against Liverpool? A few weeks back I remember him being the only one threatening. Honestly, I can see a bigger team coming in for him in the future. Even if he's only used as a backup for one of the top 6 teams. He's definitely capable of coming on, and scoring. Especially against tired legs.

Wasn't Zaha from United before? I didn't recognize him from his face and I looked him up and he recently complained about being alone in his time at Manchester and was even loaned out after Ferguson bought him. Didn't even realize until I read him up now that he's no longer an England player (how is it possible people switch nationalities like that??).

He reminds me a little bit about guys like Jermain Defoe. Always reliable to score, and always gets bought by teams like Crystal Palace. I thought Benteke would also be that type of striker but good luck to him. I have a small heart for those type of underrated goal scorers.

Hooray, another dice game. Will add this to my list to check out.

But as player above points out: The most important thing for anyone who is putting up a new casino here is this. Proof of funds. Bankrolls are important we all know that and with dice you can lose big but also win big. Once you hit a few big whales trying out their luck on a new site, they will eat up funds at the beginning. We need to know you can survive that!
9616  Economy / Gambling / Re: ITALIAN LOCAL BOOKIES, BETS FOR YOU on: September 22, 2018, 08:32:42 AM
We are offline betters but we use Telegram. Come on, why would anyone using Bitcoin with good odds and guaranteed payouts want to trust sending money to some guy who has all these claims but cannot prove anything ever? Not even a signed message with lots of fund on an address.

I'm really curious to know if anyone has ever successfully made placings with these guys on the forum, or why they would be looking online without all these proofs. If it was a problem of big money, I would still use other options like SyGambler mentions!
9617  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about the talk: 'Alt-coins dying off in 2019'? on: September 21, 2018, 12:28:25 PM
I arrived on the scene last year, and my first alt was Dogecoin (big surprise right) but then after learning more about the different uses and purposes, I was convinced enough to get Monero, of which I am probably the happiest among all my alts, plus also Litecoin, merely for the purpose of fast payments with existing network of merchants.

Did I go for other alts? Yes, I actually invested in two ICOs. Did I go crazy for others? No, but I did buy a handful just to spend a bit of my bitcoin, but BTC at the time as it is today still accounts for more than I guess 70%. I still really like Waves, and even though the Elastic I bought is never coming back up, my hopes for them remain.

Did I also try to get into other alts for speculation? Of course and I made some profits too, but now the ones I entered even Ether this year at $400 are down. Do I believe in them? Only for price. So will they die? Probably, because everyone came into them for profit.

But Monero, Litecoin, those types, they won't die.

Looks like everybody wants to parlay easy wins but I think one or two draws not necessarily upsets can kill a parlay. Too dangerous for me. Southampton might draw to Liverpool. City might stumble after Champions League. Chelsea might hit a blip. Spurs maybe cannot score.

I would choose Brighton +1 handicap.

Nobody legally requires AML/KYC for crypto gambling or crypto-related websites because there is no international consensus or single definition on what rules should apply.

As long as no FIAT is involved then AML/KYC are virtually non-existent requirements.
I have no idea what the sense of your nonsense post it, but in many jurisdictions AML/KYC laws are also applicable for crypto currencies!

Oh Lord here we go again... Please provide

1) the name of any jurisdiction where crypto can be traded without using FIAT and WITHOUT providing AML/KYC

2) the name of any jurisdiction where crypto can be traded without using FIAT but MUST provide AML/KYC

3) the name of any jurisdiction where crypto casinos are lawful WITHOUT providing AML/KYC

4) the name of any jurisdiction where crypto casinos are lawful WITH MANDATORY AML/KYC

As mentioned, if any conversion of crypto either FIAT>CRYPTO or CRYTPO>FIAT takes place then various regulations kick in no matter which country the exchanger/trader is located or registered in.

If all transactions taking place are simply CRYPTO>CRYPTO then there are plenty of jurisdictions around the world where AML/KYC on those websites is not necessary or mandatory.

The best way to deal with game-protect is just to take everything he says with a dash of salt and lots of herbs and spices. He just seems to troll all the threads, seems to talk about legality and especially licensing but actually doesn't really understand the finer points of jurisdictions, and how crypto casinos fit into all that.

@OP thanks for really being active on the discussions here. A lot of important stuff that needs clarification, and really good to see people like you respond, even when there is criticism.
9620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Europa League/Champions League Lounge on: September 21, 2018, 05:30:16 AM
I'm thinking of going with a parlay with Milan, Chelsea, Sevilla, Lazio, all to win. The diference in level is massive, I doubt the big teams will encounter any problems, they should all get the 3 points tonight.

I'm looking forward to Villareal vs Rangers. This will be Gerrard's debut as a manager in an european competition, it'll be interesting to see how his performs against a solid side like Villareal who have the 'advantage' of playing at home. The last time these two teams met was in the RO16 of the Champions League in 2006.

There's also the "classic" between the two Red Bull teams: RB Leipzig vs Red Bull Salzburg...I think Leipzig are the better team.

Nice win if you parlayed, what was the payout? I don't think the Sevilla game would have big payout though.

Big difference in level is actually the tricky bit, especially when playing with teams that have no good attacks and who don't score often in normal league games, then you have them just playing passing and defending, very difficult to break down such teams, so you get shock draws.

Rangers nicked their goal to draw, so they got a really good point from their group. They are still average team but Gerrard seems to have made them capable of scoring. 2 goals at Spain is special.
