Thats quite the interesting list you made there, OP. But unfortunately I would have to argue with you on the grounds that everyone is only human and will make newbie mistakes in gambling. The idea of a "good gambler" does not really exist. Although I would agree that if people were to follow your points, it would lead them to lose less money. But whether because of an emotional outburst, getting too greedy, believing in superstitious luck or some other reason, at some point in time, even the most experienced gambler will make a rash decision which will definitely lead to a great loss of money.

Scammers like to blame other people or things for their behavior. As if it excuses them. Maybe it was because of gambling maybe (and most likely) it was not. If were were to excuse these actions as the result of a real sickness, like addiction, then we are basically forgiving them for what they did. I do not think that is a good idea. No sympathy for criminals.
There is never an excuse for stealing from other people. This whole "gambling addiction" spin is a pile of horsecrap.
I hope he gets what he deserves.

I just now saw this thread! What a dark day in the history of Bitcoin.
I am really sorry to anyone that this happened to and hopefully you can all receive the proper justice, as with the FTX case. It saddens me to think that people are still so small minded or desperate as to become scammers or thieves.
I hope their addresses are reported and perhaps the thief is dumb enough to try to move their stolen loot unto an exchange which monitors scam reports and will freeze his account.
People are going to see Bitcoin in a worse light now, all because of Bitcoin-related scams which seem to be happening very often. And worse how this will effect the Bitcointalk community.

I made 181,000 bets, so I can exclude to add up the result of 181,000 bets manually.
Unfortunately, based on the law of large numbers your sample seize should be at least 100,000 bets.
Remember, there is almost no deviation only after 1 million attempts.
Yes, I also decided that too, which is why I said this method will only give you an imprecise number. You would need more data for a precise result. But you could write code which scrapes the website's data and spits out the calculation as you gamble. It is not worth doing. I agree that such a built in function on the website itself would be worth it. The question is why is not such a built in function available for players while Stake has it? In fact, I cannot find such a function either. Perhaps Stake will read these posts and implement the function? Or perhaps, more likely, Stake already has such a function and we were not able to find it on the website. Either way I think they take their customers complaints/recommendations seriously like any serious business. And since they have made an announcement thread here on Bitcointalk, I am sure they will be monitoring their communities needs and wants. It is still quite a decent online gambling casino. I have not yet heard any complaints or accusations made against them all these years....

I honestly hope that there are no cheaper entrees anymore for them who where not willing to buy at 70-80% down.
I sunk a nice piece of change back in btc mining gear. More than an entire btc. I used a cc. Got 15 months interest free. Did buys of miners in sept oct nov dec and jan. I also got three dips in Nov and a Nov DCA every Friday. So far so good. Be nice to see a true rally say 30k and then a nice flat strech. You think that was a good idea? Whats that saying about not investing money that you do not have? DOWN! 20k < 30k this week.FTFY

What is going on?!?!? (not that I'm looking the gift horse in the mouth or anything like that)
If this continuous... then I can only say -> market making sense. The market always makes sense.

It is remarkable that Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig played against each other in a friendly today. By this I mean the fact that they will also face each other again at the end of the month before the competition. Today was just an exhibition game, with no less than 8 goals and a final score of 4-4. RB Leipzig led me t1-3, but how seriously can we take the results of friendly matches? I don't have the lineup at hand, but I don't think Bayern Munich played with the strongest lineup today.
I would not take friendly matches too seriously because I am sure that however good Bayern or Leipzig may play, that's not their usual, serious gameplay. I am quite sure they do not take the friendly matches as seriously either. There is nothing to be gained or won as there is in a real match. Although if you were to ask me then obviously Bayern Munich would probably win against RB Leipzig if they played seriously in a real match against each other. We definitely would not see 4-4. I think friendly matches have a reason for being called so. Maybe Bayern went a bit softer for pre-planned relation/marketing purposes?

Congratulations! But please keep in mind that gambling (any game in any and every online or offline gambling casino) is never skill but only luck (which is probability). If you go into gambling with the mindset of "I can improve something about myself in order to keep winning more often" then at some point you WILL be very disappointed and sad. So be careful! Having said that, I wish I doubled my winnings that fast! Must have been an awesome feeling to beat the odds like that. Good for you!

well my Friday DCA hit so that makes for 12 Friday's in a row.
New miner arrived today so I will set it up later today.
Looking for more miners soon.
Mine should have hit at 17.2k I just logged in and discovered that I put in a buy order for 25% of what should have been 100%. So...Missed out on this pump. Thanks OBAMA

Goldkingcoiner's Trading Tip of the Day:
The less you look at your portfolio, the less susceptible to FOMO you become
Do not look at your ROI, your portfolio or even think about how much money you have made/lost off the current pump.
Do not trade with the current pumps or dumps being your only motivation to trade. We all know what damage catching the falling knife can do. We also know that we will definitely miss out on profit if we attempt to sell on every prediction of tiny up or down movements during a pump.

Bored rich people playing games to get attention and yet remain anonymous? I do not know. If I had billions of dollars I would send everyone on Bitcointalk a nice number of Bitcoin. It is possible that they messed up and were trying to actually send the 0.00525500 BTC amount to that address which is about 90 bucks but they set that amount to the change and the change (4 BTC) to Genesis address which already contains 22.57 BTC! P.S. coins sent there are not burnt though, Satoshi may some day decide to spend them If Satoshi is even alive still. ... That is a bit of a horrible thought, is it not? Satoshi dies without anyone ever knowing who he was in the end.

How can I check my experienced house edge at Stake in-house Black Jack?
I would love to know the answer to this particular question as well. I have noticed not many casinos are all that detailled when it comes to showing players their statistics. Maybe the reason is that the casinos do not want the players to be discouraged by numbers? Perhaps encouraged would be just was wrong since the player would complain with his statistics as his arguing point. I do the math myself. House edge is a simple formula. The house's return divided by the initial bet X 100. You get a percentage of the house edge as a result of that formula. But it would be more helpful if we could see that somewhere without having to calculate it. Just saying. Do you calculate your experienced house edge with manually adding up the result of each bet? Yes, but a smaller sample size should give you an adequate (but imprecise number). It will take manual calculating labor, yes. But you could just type in the numbers on an excel sheet and have them calculated automatically. Not sure if there is an export function on the online casino gambling website but you can always copy paste into the calculation sheet the numbers you need. A small sample size is at least 10 bets, I would say. But if you wanted a precise number you could go to 100 (or even 10000, if you wanted it really precise- But that seems to be unnecessary for most purposes). You will need to add up all the percentages and divide them by the amount of bets. That will give you the average. In the case of 10 bets you add the percentages together and divide by 10. Be careful that you do this calculation separately for each game. Other games may have different house edges.

I am starting to think that casinos mostly are not able to pay such winnings so they sometimes stall for time, or offer something else in return for relinquishing your winnings and your rights to sue the owners of said casino as well (most people tend not to think about that. Once you say yes to their offer, the winnings are lost forever).
People need to stand up and stay tough. No compromises. The best advice anyone can give you is to consult a lawyer who can at least give you a chance to get a much bigger reward, in the end. A lot of people are scared of lawyers and their fees. If you live in a first world country then you can afford lawyer fees or they will be provided to you as a social loan. Interest-free, of course.
In the end, you will get your winnings. (unless you broke casino rules. Like cheating)

Amazing work, OP!
You are truly a human of higher mind. I hope everyone on this forum will take notice of this and allow themselves the courage to become an amazing human being, like you.
And of course, once again, Bitcoin has gone straight to the hands of the needy. Unlike with dirty old fiat, which would have gotten lost in the pockets of corrupt politicians, lobbyists and other man-made devils or blocked by ridiculous sanctions in the first place. Long live Bitcoin!
I would love to hear more about your future plans! I think everyone on Bitcointalk would also say the same. Perhaps we can even find volunteer helpers and donators.

I have 2 motorbikes at home, but what I always use is only 1 motorbike, and 1 motorbike is rarely used, and indeed the motorbike is also old, and if it is sold it won't be too expensive, and I decided to sell the motorbike, because in my opinion the price of the motorbike will definitely fall over time, (affected by inflation). and the money from the sale of the motorbike I will use to buy bitcoin. because in my opinion the price of bitcoin in the future will definitely rise. and also currently the market is bear, so this is a good opportunity to buy bitcoins. and I want to ask everyone, the decision I made, namely selling the motorbike and the money to buy bitcoin, is it wrong or not?
I'm ready to be corrected because I have no experience in bitcoin and crypto.
You need to be prepared for two things: First: Bitcoin price will reach levels at which you will think to yourself: Its too scary not to sell because the price might change for the worse. This is your brain setting you a trap. Do not fall for it. Second: You need to be prepared to make this a long term investment. Flip Flopping back and forth between Bitcoin and Fiat will only grind you down on fees until nothing is left of your money. We might see 5k tomorrow or 50k. Do not panic sell. Enjoy the ride. Bitcoin is always the right choice!

I can finally say they verified my account, after 9 days of waiting and sending a lot of photos. Glad it's over.
I am guessing that they either want to be extremely careful or they do not yet have a large team to cover the verification requests of their customers. I know casinos are very sensitive when it comes to adhering to the regulation framework which keep changing and changing every year or so. So them being this careful might be a good sign. I would rather have a slower but serious casino than a fast but sloppy gambling platform. Especially since you are entrusting a third party to carry your money for you. I do not like the KYC process although I am more of a fan of convenience and laziness.

We received a newsletter from Fairspin that the player managed to win 60BTC ($1,021,186.89) in the Book of Fallen slot from Pragmatic Play the bet was 0.6BTC the coefficient was x100 and a link to a youtube video, if this is really the case, then we can congratulate the winner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwmb6A_noEoWow, that is quite the win! Although we should take any kind of such videos with a grain of salt since they can easily be faked for the views. I would not be surprised if it was. But maybe that person was already rich enough as it is. Who else makes half a Bitcoin bets other than the rich. Or it could be real. Fairspin themselves should confirm or deny the video. If the video is real and he really won over a million dollars from a half Bitcoin bet, I do wonder how much has he lost before winning that one bet? I mean if he bets 9k daily then he may just have made the money back which he lost...
