481  Economy / Gambling / Re: Overview of Bitcoin Accepting Sportsbooks (with margin/house edge comparisons) on: January 15, 2019, 12:22:22 PM
Most of my play is with Nitrogen, Betcoin and Bitcoinrush. There are reasons to play at all three such as limits, withdrawal times, markets both pregame and live. The hold on NFL sides with Nitrogen (2.69%) and Bitcoinrush (2.67%) are almost identical and Betcoin is the best for EPL and other major European soccer.

Those 3 are definitely the best books as far as safety in getting paid and not being hassled with KYC.
Seriously asking for KYC on a gambling website is the stupidest thing anyone can do.

Are these people unaware of their customers so much that they would ask KYC to begin with ?
I mean most of us come from countries where gambling is illegal and that is why we gamble in crypto currency instead of fiat, online gambling is not something I prefer to do but I have to do considering its not allowed in my country, so instead of illegally gamble here, I am going to give all my info to crypto casinos and get caught gambling because I accepted the casinos KYC deal and gave them all my information? Not a chance.

About the similarity on the odds, I think working on 3 different sportsbook is a bit tiring and I usually opt for just one even if they have worse odds in couple games but not all, if it is worse odds on everything than I don't deal with it.

Even tough it looks like fortunejack didn't pay him the money they owe thats not a regular game. Don't get me wrong if this happened in a regular game where they have listed for years and allowed people to gamble and than not pay someone that would have been horrible for them and you could see a huge attack back to them which would cause them to lose many of their wagered gamblers.

However, this was just a test run and I don't understand what people are trying to see on a test run, the logic that a half finished game should be giving you money is not something one should be expecting, you are gambling on a test game for the purposes of "testing" not for actually gambling. Why would they have to give someone money when the game has a bug in it, you think they have to because its their fault but than again not paying is their choice as well and they don't have to.

Nitrogen gets ahead thanks to the casino parts, look at the chart and see that betcoinsports has more in the sports side because it is a true sportsbook however look at nitrogen and even tough it has less ticked boxes on the sportsbook side, they have everything except live hocket and live chat at the casino side of things. Actually betcoin has everything there except teasers as well, if you look at the number of ticked boxes, nitrogen has 38 ticked boxes in total whereas betcoin has 46 ticked boxes in total.

How can nitrogen be 38 ticked boxes but A+ while betcoin is 46 ticked boxes and just A? How can someone look at that and think that nitrogen is somehow better than betcoin? I mean is it the time they started? Maybe nitrogen is older and thats why better? I don't think anyone looking at that chart can say that nitrogen is better than betcoin.

Hey OP,
It has been more than 3 months since this topic was started hence I just want to see some more proof of videos for evaluating the performance of your bot. Other than any videos, please share about any relevant experiences with various dicing sites if you had in between times.

How consistent your bot is, this is my basic curiosity for writing up all these. Because I have tried few paid bots for my dicing but none of them was capable of protecting my bankroll at least. All bots was working just similar to in-house automated dicing, no big differences.

No cryptokitties is built on ethereum network. You need to use metamask in order to be capable of playing the "game" and it is certainly not a "game".

Yes, breeding seems like a "game" to many people but I have been involved with it for a while and you need to really spend a whole lot of money and time and effort on finding the earliest gen you can find for traits you want in order to have the kitty with the most advanced traits with as little gen as possible and for that to happen you also spend money on "breeding" fees and all that which takes this out of the "gaming" realm and puts it into investment quite easily.

Cryptokitties is just a fancy way of investing into valuables, some people get paintings, some people get rare books and whatever and apparently some people get kitties with the same idea.

Lakers lost AGAIN. This time to CLEVLAND. Jesus Christ how horrible do you have to be to lose to Cavs ?
I mean I understand that they have a lot of injured players but their young core of Lonzo, Hart, Ingram, Kuzma all played this game and they all sucked so so much, they literally scored 95 points to a team who got scored 130+ points on average in their recent 5 games.

Their defense is not horrible and they are fine on that part but they really need to get their shit together on offense, how can you be so bad on offense that a team that gets 130+ points scored on average allows you only 95 points fro a whole game, that is like third quarter numbers not end result.

I think after another year of this if Lakers really see no improvements at all and this is what Lakers is without Lebron, they might really start considering trading away the young guys for a better piece for a big push this year, they could have gotten Kawhi for some of the young guys they have and that would have been much much better for a title run instead of trying to keep the young guys for the future.
487  Economy / Economics / Re: why are you sure the bitcoin will be make economic freedom? on: January 14, 2019, 03:27:49 PM
lately, I found most articles the Bitcoin can make the economy more freedom and it will replace traditional financial institutions like banks etc. but what I have seen in the last few years is almost all of the cryptocurrency controlled by the crypto exchange and some related industries about blockchain, so this what is called freedom (most people only think they can print money easily and quickly) ?
Bitcoin is limited and is not controlled by any one entity which is what the regular currencies are. Dollar can be changed drastically by any decision FED does and it could have affects all around the world not just USA. Euro has the same issues and they could be in trouble with Brexit as well.

It shows people how much bitcoin can improve their lives comparing to these old money systems that could be effected by the actions of couple people. Thats why bitcoin with its decentralized system can give people the economic freedom they always wanted, all you have to do is posses as much bitcoin as you can afford for now and have the audacity to go against the banks and instead of putting all your money into a bank and making them rich be your own bank and save them up for later in your times of need.
488  Economy / Economics / Re: Mastercard is investing in blockchain on: January 14, 2019, 01:58:31 PM
I hate these people who talk about bitcoin like it is something bad but than go out and get into blockchain.
Like blockchain is some sort of amazing new technology and bitcoin is the root of all evil. They are making their money thanks to people not using bitcoin and if all of the world started using bitcoin for sending money to each other or spending money all over the world than places like mastercard will seize to exist quite quickly, that is why they are trying to discredit bitcoin as much as they can and try to offer blockchain as a solution like they are two very apart things.

Blockchain IS crypto currency and will always be tied together, you get one with the other and not solo, if you like blockchain and want to invest into it that means you like the idea of bitcoin as well.
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My 2 cents on: January 13, 2019, 06:07:38 PM
My advice to you guys is that betting minimum on 2X with 100% increase on loss will NEVER pay your bill.
Not just this one, any other strategy also will not pay your bill.

Neither hart nor KCP is remotely as good as Klay, klay not only has an insane catch and shoot level (the most three pointers made in a season who is not named curry) but also an elite defender who can lockdown any opposite player.

If lakers could get Klay on their team, it is basically game over. Warriors would be losing Klay in their team and Draymond is getting worse while Cousins will surely not be in the team next year so they will be only left with Curry and Durant whereas Lakers will have Klay and Lebron on their team with a much better roster.

I don't doubt Lakers could beat everyone with Klay on their team not because they will be that much better but because they would also bleed warriors at the same time improving theirs. Of course there are players like JJ Reddick or Buddy Hield who are both amazing three point shooters but since Klay will be still in warriors in that scenario Lakers wouldn't be even close to them.
491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 12, 2019, 04:40:13 PM
It is not that shocking about Leicester city vs Southampton but truth be told Manchester City is playing against Wolverhampton. I know there are more shocking things happened in football so I am not going to say 100% because nothing in football is ever 100% truth be told but that bet is as close to 100% as you can really hope for.

They are fighting for the top spot so they will use all of their power to make sure no mistakes happens and they get their 3 points, this game would be different if they were ahead of everyone by 10+ points but they are at number 2 spot and need all 3 points they can get.

I am going to bet on city to beat wolves easily this week and gonna put a decent amount into it as well. I doubt I will be wrong but in case I am than I am fine with a fluke game from them and not something common and will recoup my losses on next weeks Hudders game.
492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nobody wins in gambling anyway on: January 11, 2019, 04:38:06 PM
Not true my friend, I know a lot of gamblers who actually took the advantage of gaining extra profit just by gambling, it is facts and its just the matter of putting luck in the games that you play, it is hard and once you get addicted to it you cannot stop until you had no more money, but I don't think that all gamblers will lose, some gamblers find this just a source of entertainment but for some gamblers they  need to make profit and have set their goals over the casino.

It depends upon person to person. Some people win and earn good in gambling while other just lose their money. Everyone come to play gambling but not everyone can win. If everyone starting wining, then how will the casino will earn ?  So, its everyone luck on how they go about this and Win or lose.

But still, if we can count that the winning gamblers are too few compared to the losing gamblers because gamblers who can win, he has great luck. And if we compare between the amount of money that gamblers can win, it still bigger the casino or the house than them, so the casino still takes benefits from the gamblers. And it means, nobody can win in gambling against the casino.
Purpose of gambling is not to win. House always wins, they even tell you that, they literally tell you they will take your money. Purpose of gambling is to have fun and entertainment, look at casinos in Las Vegas, they have big huge shows there, concerts, stand ups, box matches and everything of the sorts right there because they tend to be the most entertaining place on earth.

If you want to have fun and have money than you go to Las Vegas and have a crazy weekend and have the time of your life, you do not go to Vegas to try and win money from them, that is not how casino and gambling business works. Sportsbooks of course offer much better odds but they still have a hidden odds and they do make money from odd bad team winning type deals.

All you have to do is sit down and try to see what they offer aside from just gambling and you will realize there is much more to it than just rolling a dice.

Finally we see Lakers that could be great in the future. Kuzma played like a superstar and even tough its still inconsistent and he averages a lot less than what he could be he is still quite young and was drafted low for someone who can score 41 points in Lakers uniform.

You would expect a superstar doing that and that is what he is moving towards. Carmelo Anthony is a guy who used to score a lot of points but wasn't really a good defense guy and that is why he was cut this year, Lonzo is exactly the opposite, dude steals, defends, rebounds and does everything amazingly but has no scoring mechanism at all, he misses freaking layups that a 55+ year old with a beer belly can score.

Josh Hart plays his "hart" out Cheesy and he has the hard working skills to make him a viable SG one day hopefully and Ingram has been in the league for years now and still haven't shown the progress he should but in couple more years we will know for sure if he is good enough to stay or gone. I love this youth core and feel amazingly happy when they win.
494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever won a prize in Freebitco.in Lottery? If yes, how much? on: January 09, 2019, 03:36:52 PM
I do not buy tickets at all but I just have affiliates who keep doing the free faucet thing constantly which means I have tickets no matter what in every lotto drawn, nothing major just couple thousand every week but in the end it becomes a small amount that I did not pay for, basically free chance of getting 1-2 btc without spending any money and I am quite happy about it.

I haven't won a single satoshi yet but even the possibility of winning for free is always entertaining to me, it is one of the first things I look at the mornings. Maybe one day I will use the money I gained from affiliates into buying tickets but right now I put it on 4% interest which is much better chance of winning, instead of having a possibility of winning 1-2 btc, I make about 0.08% per week I keep my money there, it is small but it is 100% given to me instead of 0.00006% chance of winning or something that small.
495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How gambling sites can cheat you on: January 09, 2019, 07:38:23 AM
1> your account is hosted on there website, all it takes is 1 command to database to delete your whole account and you will not prove anything.

suppose a user deposited 10 BTC, the website can simply delete his account and claim its never been created, so what use are your secrets hash.

2> or they can alter your password and claim its been hacked and its your responsibility
For both the cases, you cannot do anything because once if gambling houses decide to scam you, they can go up to any limit and you cannot do anything about that. This is applicable for both online as well as for offline casinos. Only until they remain legit, we can deal with them otherwise we need to take legal procedures but that would be expensive and lots of time-consuming one. Instead of fighting against them legally it would be much better to stay away from them before getting start with them basically.

If you have plans to gamble with big bankroll then you must go for your own due diligence so that can be sure about that you will be into a highly reputed gambling house. If you ignore this part of the gambling, no one could help you later on.
496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: January 09, 2019, 06:11:46 AM
even I am sure all addicts want to quit. but he cannot do it
because it has become a habit for them. Of course there are several ways to stop it. and help might also be very helpful
They want to quit but they will never take time for finding procedures for quitting. Just simply thinking about changes will not help anyone but they must prefer it by their heart so that they will start working on that to make that happening in real life. As it is really a hard part to make them working, no gambler is giving importance for bringing chances but simply sticking with gambling.

What do you do if you're crippled by depression that stop you from making any change to better the outcome of your life?
Firstly, you must find steps to come out of your depression and then you should work on bringing changes for better life. I mean to say if you are enjoying gambling and also looking for quitting it, that will not work. You must start by reducing your gambling hours/number of gambling sessions then you start working on how to quit.

Really interesting perspective. Good work OP!

I am already aware (and got chances to know from an exchange operator itself) that exchanges are misusing our funds for their own trading purposes but never thought about how it will impact for dumping bitcoin's price itself. I am personally following and keep suggesting not to keep cryptos in exchange but for the reason of hacking scare, but never got time to think in your perspective even after hearing about those misusing.

We all keep suspecting those mtgox treasury team for continuous dumps but the actual culprits might be exchange operators and web wallet providers (recently got chances to see coinbase's inventory maintenance tx, and lost sleep for 2 days).

Probably now many people may come out with their researches on why bitcoin is exactly following the dump sequences from 2014/2015.
498  Economy / Economics / Re: USD will crash before BTC on: January 08, 2019, 07:13:29 PM
I am not jjjfff but I imagine as long as dollar becomes more and more devalued the price of bitcoin suppose to go up.
If american markets and the american dollar drops constantly that means the limited bitcoin should be going up just like gold. Look at the price of gold for example in the previous 100 years, the more inflation destroys the economy of a country the higher gold prices becomes, 2008 being a great example of it.

As soon as government allowed a 800 billion bail out, gold prices skyrocketed. Which means if bitcoin manages to be a comoddity like gold than inflation works for us. Debt and consequences could only cripple the american economy and that means money will become less valuable. Think of a world where water is 100 dollars and a burger costs 800 dollars, in a world like that bitcoin won't be 4 thousand dollars, it will be much much more.

Dude i appreciate your thoughts But all three points u highlight totally wrong answers your all three point conclude that people should gamble and it's way of making money a big LOL Danger there is alot of people who don't know risks of gambling they need to educate and if i posted this topic a lot newbies maybe reading this topic oh this man lost a lot of money think God we should not gamble  my message for those who did not aware like me before i did not afford to lose a pinny and i did that chasing losses and so on... so that's my bad  
I never suggest anyone to go for gambling for making money. I am a gambler but I never expect any returns for my bankroll. I like to suggest you to go back for reading my comment so that you will understand what I exactly meant. Moreover, I like to suggest people not for going at all then how it will be possible from my side to suggest to go for gambling for making money.

(Why do not you take time to write properly so that people will understand you better. There is a symbol called period (.) is available with everyone's keyboard and we should use them to separate sentences so that people will understand better Grin. Please take your own time to compose before hitting "post".)

Even we managed to win against them, they will not allow us to leave off. They will enforce/convince to continue until we will lose. This is how they are managing this business and here also only the "house" wins always.
Nothing new here. If they need to survive in their business then be must need to do so. If you are finding some excitements then you may go for repeating with them otherwise you just need to stay away from them because you will not be having any other choices. This is how typical gambling houses are working and surviving.

Whether the gambling is online or over any other offline zone doesn't matter big. The house win percentage will be always higher than that of the individual person's winning.
Yes, online or offline will not be having any big differences. But, if you want to have real offline gambling then you must go bet against your friend so that there will be the exact fairness that we are all expecting as the winning possibilities for you and your friend is same 50% as there is no house is there to match you both. But in online gambling, we are challenging the house as the opponent but they are having some extra advantage as they are matching themselves with us and for providing a platform for easy gambling. This is the reason we are unable to beat them.
