Finally the event have come to an end. Norway kept the lead with 16 gold medals. Norway's Johannes Thingnes Boe, Biathlon keeps the lead as an individual to grab highest number of gold medals (4 gold). Even under the worst pandemic situation China managed to do the best in terms of infrastructure development and management. Right now the scenario is getting worse with Hong Kong. During this season 109 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals have been distributed to the winners of different games.

Using VPN some time break rule from Term of Service some casino gambling site and I think not good ideas when opening casino with VPN, better not try access casino platform by using VPN. I think when asking on costumer service they will not recommended for you to access casino by using VPN because could detected with multiple account or your account can claimed as illegal access or mean your account was hack and open on different IP.

Is it based on your assumption only or based on your own experiences?
I've played in several different crypto casino using VPN almost all the time, in fact I do not face any problems.
Which casinos I'm referring to are Stake, Roobet, Duelbits, BK8, Playbetr and betcoin.
Reputable casinos wont suspect you for doing multi account just because you are using VPN.

disclaimer: I do not recommend anyone to do the same, just sharing my own experiences
.
Its been ages on which some people do really make use of VPN on trying out to access a particular site that they do like, doesnt matter if its a gambling site or other as long they could able to access it out then
people would just commonly make use of VPN.They are aware of the risk on getting banned or block once you do get caught but still decided to continue despite of those risk.

Even myself do make use of VPN for sometime whenever i do get blocked or restricted but i do badly need to access it then i dont really be having
any options but on this one.
Using VPN gives access to the respective platform, but sites will describe it a reason when you go for some claims/support. Importantly when you use VPN find the best in the market and make use of it. Free VPN's create lot of problems with popping ads and other security risks. Morw specifically there are VPN's that keep track of your activities. This is also a kind of privacy abuse.

Majority of the users were in support/favour Afghanistan as the winning team. According to me Bangladesh will be winning the matches. The first ODI is scheduled for 23rd February. With T20 matches we can see unexpected performance changing the entire match. With ODI such possibilities were very low. So I bet on Bangladesh as the winners of the ODI series

Bangladesh have been carving themselves strong to face any team. Afghanistan is no down to them, but at times Afghanistan ends up losing wickets once after a good partnership.
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake Wagered $1.3 million in super bowl bet using bitcoin on: February 19, 2022, 11:59:14 PM
Overall , it was a great promo for both BTC , Super Bowl and even bookies as well and a bad one of gamblers haha.
This.
Exactly! There's also the ad that came from Coinbase, just a QR and everything has went well. So for Drake's win in this bet during the super bowl.
It's up for everyone to believe whether it's for real as he's a rich guy and capable of betting such amount or it's just part of any promo and marketing which he's part of.

No one knows if that money do came out from his own pocket or been owned by Stake just for promotional purposes and this isnt only limiting out on Stake alone
but almost in all companies do make out such marketing which is somewhat aggressive and as long you do have the funds for such marketing then it doesnt
matter because thats how business works and whether we do like it or not then they have done on things which should be done on a business.

Right because in first place drake is so famous and eventhough companies will spend millions of dollars to him they can still earn a benefit due to the impressions and exposure to whoever back him on this. But anyways its good to see big stars giving good exposure to bitcoin since this could help bitcoin awarenes spread to the people still didn't know about its existence.

More people might've already made big bets, but it is him who is revealed to the outer world. Who does it isn't unknown. If the bets weren't revealed this could've never been a this discussion. He might've got paid for this bet apart from his winning. However end of the day everything is business, so nothing wrong in it.

It seems that no one will be able to move Norway from the first team place. At the last Olympiad, Norway took first place, but in gold medals they were on a par with Germany, but in this Olympiad they completely dominate - the gap from second place is 5 gold medals.
China scored 8 times more gold medals than at the last Olympiad. Good progress, but it looks like cheating - the number of gold medals exceeds the number of silver and bronze medals in total.
During the previous season of winter Olympics it was Norway that won the medals and next is the Germany. This time too the same is happening. As China is the host nation they might've practiced well to grab more medals. China have got different practice methodologies which is very crucial. Maybe this could've happened prior, reason why there is a massive difference in the medals won.

Do you guys watch the women's cricket. India Women is playing against New Zealand Women in the third ODI. India Women is playing a 5 match ODI series touring New Zealand. First two matches were a win for New Zealand, the second match was very close and this match also doesn't look like a win for India Women who have managed to score 195 runs losing 5 wickets in 34 overs.
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 17, 2022, 11:38:51 PM
South Africa is all out for 95 runs, i was not aware it was a Test match and New Zealand is already leading by 101 runs and there is no chance for a comeback by South Africa in this match because of their pathetic performance in the first innings. Matt Henry took 7 wickets and that is his best performance till date and this is just the second day and it looks like the match will be over by the 4th day.
South Africa experienced similar play with the first match of the previous series against India. In that match it didn't perform as worse as this innings. After losing the first test against India, South Africa managed to win the rest of the test matches and won the series. Maybe from the next match South Africa could make a strong recovery. Anyhow this match has gone into the hands of New Zealand and there is very thin chance for a draw.
1528  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin touched $43k, from $33k in two weeks on: February 16, 2022, 11:59:29 PM
The growth is real, and if has happened without any form of manipulation. Price of bitcoin after reaching $43k took long time to cross $44k. Now it wasn't able to break $45k and as a result once again it has slipped down to $44k. There is more speculation on price reaching $50k, but as of now I don't think market is highly supportive. Maybe some positive news or a big adoption news from corporate will cause a upward move.
1529  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is becoming more and more like a stock on: February 16, 2022, 06:19:38 PM
Bitcoin isn't like stock, but over the past few weeks bitcoin has been behaving similar to stocks in terms of its market moves. Relative to the war urge between Ukraine and Russia there is steep decline in every stocks. This means when war happens automatically there will be lack of production which is the reason why stocks fell by those occasions.

With the positive news about soldiers moving away from borders the world markets showed bullish move. The same pattern is being experienced with bitcoin. At times bitcoin behaves similar to stocks, but not the same happens everytime.

Thank you all for positive feedback so far  Smiley. Happy to see you like our design and product! We deffinately will be active here, the signature campaign is indeed a testing field right now. We are aware that numbers might not show up after this short period but we will be probably adjusting it in the future for regular and senior members so don't worry!
Because indeed your site deserves positive feedbacks , being here in crypto for years now without facing serious accusations? i may say you have proven legitimacy .

Have a great business again .
Being in the cryptocurrency accepted gambling business without any accusation is really a big thing. Even the leading gambling sites have large number of accusations. In recent days this has increased a lot. We don't to what extent those accusations are right, but it is always good to keep our services out of accusations. Thunderpick is successfully doing it for years, and the support system is the important thing in gaining trust. Hope Thunderpick is doing good and does it throughout.

Very few gambling sites give access for eSports. This is a big success for Thunderpick. Along with eSports it also have casino games and sports betting, which makes it usable for gamblers interested on any form of gambling.

As of now only country that have adopted bitcoin is El Salvador. Just with a country's performance we can't get into a conclusion that country that have adopted cryptocurrency have been experiencing more of advantages than disadvantages. Market volatility will surely cause big destruction in a country's economy, but El Salvador being a country with population of 6.5 million the impact haven't been experienced big. If more countries join together bitcoin adoption might cause advantage in its economy.

Countries always fear of the decentralisation, and to have control countries are in the creation of their own CBDC. Possibly in the coming years we can see more countries making use of the official CBDCs than decentralised cryptocurrencies.
1532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is El Salvador in debt because of the bitcoin price drop? on: February 16, 2022, 02:35:40 PM
Nayib Bukele El Savador president is most wonderful think for the future how he try to adopt bitcoin and altcoin as legal transaction payment, right now he always give and take several assets from his country to buy back bitcoin as investment assets on the future. I think most wonderful investment beside looking for with many real project and not really hard looking for investor come to his country make an investment. With bitcoin holding he can earn profit when bitcoin price pump and actually he always active buy back bitcoin when have lower price.

talking about this subject I still forget to ask:

Can anyone tell me how many exchanges moved to El Salvador after the president of El Salvador passed these laws that benefit bitcoin?

how many bitcoin related casinos have el salvador license?

it would be great if we have this data
There is no clear data on this subject about exchanges and Casinos that moved to El Salvador. El Salvador have planned for bitcoin city. Maybe after the completion of the Bitcoin City project we can expect more exchanges and casinos move their base. Also El Salvador have announced more subsidiary and ease of business which will surely attract more new businesses into the country.
1533  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC over 50k? on: February 15, 2022, 11:53:13 PM
The market that has been moving within $42000 and $44000 have crossed $44000 today. In recent days the war between Russia and Ukraine is said as a big reason for the entire World market to face a downward movement. However there are rumours that Russian soldiers are returning back to their base and the chance of war is declining. This has triggered the market upwards. Maybe this can take a momentum and could lead to $50k+
1534  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin failed to fulfill the purpose it was created for ? on: February 15, 2022, 11:26:10 PM
Bitcoin is very young to fullfill for the purpose it is being developed. Considering its early days now it has made a big change in the market as an alternate form of payment. More companies and daily life shops have begun to accept bitcoin. At the same time the people haven't changed much, because of the growth. People prioritise it as an investment that can bring big money and this restricts them from spending it same as currency. This will change with time.

Nowhere bitcoin is being controlled by the government. There are bans from different governments. Does that mean people aren't using it anymore. No, people continue to use it through other possible ways. Only thing majority of the holdings will be acquired by the corporate networks in the future which might make the bitcoin market highly manipulative, but won't have the ability to control the market.
1535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I’m planning to surprise my soon-to-be-bride sister some BTC on her wedding day on: February 15, 2022, 11:17:49 PM
When it comes to wedding gift, always the people around and the relatives have a question. What your brother, father gave on wedding. For those people to explain about cryptocurrency this gift creates an opportunity. For people who doesn't know much about might've different thinking. So, as few users suggested it is good to have a main gift and give the bitcoin wallet and bitcoins separately.

Congrats on your sister wedding and it is an appreciable effort and a good gifting which is gonna make financial change in one's life.

Of course, gambling from home is much more convenient and for people who do not like to be in the company of other people, it is an excellent solution. Thanks to the metaverse, online gambling will for sure grow more and more and it will surely take over even more of the market than till now. However, this is not a substitute for real human interaction and I am sure that classic casinos will reign supreme in the gambling market for many more years.

Yes it is and because of the pandemic this kind of gambling from home become widely practiced by many gamblers due to restrictions and stop operation of casino establishments. It is inevitable that gamblers will going to find the kind of gambling experience like the gambling experience inside casino and that's the biggest difference between gambling online and through traditional gambling. I am so much excited of what Mataverse can contribute to the advancement and development of gambling experience online that will justify that gambling online is kind of entertaining, exciting and enjoyable..
To gamble at home on the internet has became convenient for many gamblers already. And for those who live in countries where gambling is banned, cryptocurrency became the perfect solution to make gambling democratic and accessible for everyone. Thinking this way, internet and cryptocurrency were responsible for the whole task that I don't think metaverse would add much more to gambling industry and gamblers' entertainment in the way it's being currently developed.

If gamblers are going to adopt online betting at home it will be thanks to crypto, while metaverse is going to be just a detail (if it really works as expected).
Metaverse is considered to be the future in every industry, but myself too confused how this technology will make a change in the gambling industry. I don't think much positive on it. People are used to gamble from home, and the ease of doing the same is got through internet and cryptocurrencies for the people who resides on gambling banned countries. This is the reality and beyond this play to earn can be added to gambling. But I'm not sure how this can be done in a PvP order.

New zealand Women VS India Women

Two hours later, the Indian women's team will play against the New Zealand women's team. New Zealand won easily in the only T20 match and in the first two ODIs. The Indian women's team is not performing as well as expected on New Zealand's pitch. I think the New Zealand women's team will win today's match as usual. They will not give India any chance to win.

BCCI is richest board yet they have zero focus on woman cricket. In woman cricket only England, Australia and NZ have strong teams rest of the countries have just team for formalities. Indian woman team is no where near to NZ woman team in T20 and ODI played so far. In t20 India lost by 18 runs while in ODI lost by 62 runs. There are 4 more ODIs still to be played.

Yes, there is no big consideration over the Indian Women's cricket.  Indian women's team too is a strong team. Some small error during the match used to bring loss for them. Indian women's cricket players weren't given proper respect and there is discrimination in pay and other beneficiaries. This has made caused various people discuss on the same and no end result is achieved on it.

Top players who went unsold on the IPL auction 2022

Suresh Raina
Steve Smith
Shakib Al Hasan
Adil Rashid
Imran Tahir
Aaron Finch
Dawid Malan
Eoin Morgan
Chris Lynn
Tabraiz Shamsi

Chennai haven't picked Raina as well as du plessis which is a bad decision, because they're the key elements of CSK till date. CSK franchise CEO briefed about the addition of players, and mentioned that the ruling government will be so generous.

Is this is paid publicity? I'm just curious, but regardless, I still like the fact that a celebrity is not afraid of risking huge money using a crypto sportsbook. Stake is already popular in the crypto space, but with this publicity, for sure they will be more popular, and it will not end there as the whole crypto gambling world will benefit from this kind of publicity.
Could be half. There's no possibility they will leak how much Stake offered Drake so that he won't be spending that much. Maybe half will be shouldered by Stake if it loses and the other will be Drake's risk which is okay because he is a fan. That may have included the payment for hyping it up.  Grin
If he wins, he takes it all. That's just a little money for a big advertisement and a long term business pump on the upcoming sports events. Stake.com did well on this one and I am sure it will be fruitful long term.
Yeah, things were well executed. But I don't know why they choose such a tactical betting options. Choosing the odds on match winning is quite Ok. Further he had made bets on Odell Beckham Jr touch down anytime and the next one receiving 62.5 yards. However they managed to give a win, but it indirectly means the payment for Stake's promotion.

We don't know this is something planned and executed one or happened without any plans, but I find Drake to be so courageous in spending. Also I'm not cent percent sure that it is planned, because he have already spend big on sports betting.

Mike Tyson have clearly stated "That is the match for money". Being a social media star these people have got millions of people to watch them. This will do anything for money and that is why they don't getting beat. There isn't any official agreement being made on this exhibition match. Everything is word of mouth and using the same Logan Paul is making money. This is completely a scam and no doubt in it. Here we can't blame the powerful Mike Tyson.
