1661  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe do you feel with casinos that ask you to input your log detail. on: November 11, 2023, 02:13:05 PM
Phishing and hacks of users account do not happen on a reputable casino website. This underscores the importance of only visiting reputable casino website with the latest security certificate.
It's really naive to think reputable casino will not get attack or hack, remember there's nothing safe in digital world especially in a centralized site which own a lot money. Phishing attack is more to the user's fault, not the casino.

Of course when someone want to gamble in centralized casino, they need to make sure they can trust the casino including the worst thing that could happen in the future.
Both reputable and none reputable casinos get hacked at some point and this goes a long way to show how vonurable one can be when it come to being asked to frequently input your log in details at all time because you may not be aware of any malware that may attack your device to steal your log in information.

So for sure,  reputable casinos also get hacked sometimes,  and also even the hack of user accounts may not result from the site being hacked itself but also those hacks that happens to players accounts who choose to input the log in detail and being follow up by attacker at all time

Good point about hiding and feelings. People hide things they do because they are either feel uncomfortable (like feeling ashamed of it) what they do, or the things they do has illegal context. Is gambling illegal? In some countries yes, in some not. I would understand if person hide that he gambles in a country where it is illegal. About feelings, if I am an adult, why would I be ashamed of gambling? Or feel uncomfortable from doing something that brings me fun. Seems absurd to me.
In some places of the world,  gambling is still an illegal act and at that, and the government have laws in place that may punish their citizens who engage in gambling and that is what has made them to hide or gamble in private places.

Just like drugs that are banned,  those who use them always hide using them,  but also too we have those who may not feel comfortable gambling in the presence of others and at that, and they tend to gamble only in their spare time at the privacy level.

Many gamblers used to loss their in money in gambling by their bad luck,but they thought the gambling site had scam them.But the fact is the bad luck played the huge role in the gambling,So the gambler may lose a specific number of game in the specific time. If the gambler had choose the gambling as the entertainment,this may help the gambler to live the happy life in real life.
Bad luck,  sarcastic statement right?

Because at some point,  I don't believe in bad luck when you lose because I know that gambling is not a win-win situation and even the gamblers that win now will still lose later so how then do we refer to them because the record both loses and winning,  I think gambling goes beyond that to reach at a point where having the wrong approach could have more resultant effects on the gambler compared to basing every bad result on ill luck.

Newbies are mostly carried aways with their expertn't winning that they fail to take note of some of the key things that propel their winnings,  and rather than focusing on that weakness,  they tend to look away from the realities of things.
1664  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will it Hold? BTC Targets $40,000 on: November 10, 2023, 11:39:31 PM

Although bitcoin ETFs have been one of the sure sole causes of this recent price the reason being that,  Bitcoin started increasing in price suddenly after the news of the ETF announcement even though it was later discovered to be false news but Bitcoin has refused to drop from that price behaviour since then and up until this very moment

Probably and from the look so far it seem the 40k price is looking as reality as bitcoin is jumping around 37k/38k. I think the next level is going to be looking up to 40k. I don't expect drop to happen anytime soon or before that range where we are just starting the month and there have been spikes taking price up in the longer hours which is possible that it could be sustained for the month to run out.
Yeah we are already closing in on the 40k benchmark and with the current Bitcoin market trends,  it seems that we will arrive at that reality even before the week runs out,  and at some point, we may even exceed that said Bitcoin price at the end of the days if all things being equal and it goes well,  but my fear is what will happen to the Bitcoin networks congestion,  is it going to sum up all the gains through fees,  because in the last few days, we have experienced a lot of high fees for even a fraction of Bitcoin transactions and the meme pol has been highly congested at some point.

So the increase in the price of Bitcoin,  still trigger up a lot of negative feeling when it is done in direct proportion to the transaction network hype and fees increases,  this is why we all have not really been able to make long-term speculations on the Bitcoin price.

Because no one knows what the cause of the sudden price increase that is accompanied by network connections at some point.

First thing that the newcomer needs to know is the fact that,  gambling is not a means of making an honest and steady earning so at that they should take gambling as just for fun and nothing more than that,  and for sure I am clear on the fact that many of the newbies have gone so far as setting a target winning amount when they make deposits into their casino account,  and without any form of control of any possible excesses while at that,  so for sure and to some they always end up being disappointed when the revise become the case and the lose everything.

Starting up gambling on the wrong note can do more danger than losing because when you lose as an expert,  you can re strategize and win again later,  but if a newbie already have bad start up mentality,  he will be forced to continue to chase a particular directions and that can only lead him to more troubles instead solutions to the current outcome.
1666  Economy / Gambling / Re: l0tt0.com on: November 10, 2023, 11:19:47 PM
The current congestion of the bitcoin mempool network is one of those hiccups I considered and suggested that op implement a usdt deposit and withdrawal on other chains alongside the already available bitcoin deposit and withdrawals.

I decided to withdraw 0.0005 bitcoin yesterday from the site, which was worth around $18.7 dollars,(I wanted to withdraw just $10 worth by the way, but had to increase it due to the fees), I used the slow mode withdrawal option, and at the end of it, what arrived in my wallet was $8.2 dollar worth of bitcoin, while over $10 was charged as withdraw fees.

The team does no need to wait until their have a large customers vase before the implement a faster payment network into their system,  I think this is the right time to do that,  because at the moment, many of of their clients will be looking for best alternatives to the bitcoin network since Bitcoin is experiencing a network connection issues that have result into high fees and the rest of the other waiting period that the player need to go through to get the funds out of the casino.

So this is the best time for any new casino to implement such development at least it will allow them the luxury of time to correct whatever that may seems to have been a bad experience just like in your own case as you mentioned.
1667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to keep your money in bank? on: November 10, 2023, 11:08:57 PM
My experience now on banks right now is I really don't store a lot of money there. I am treating banks nowadays as just storage of my daily used funds or some money that I can use and have access to time like if I need fiat to buy something from our local, I will just withdraw some of my money from the bank.
But for my investment in the future, I don't trust it with banks anymore.
Bank investment is one of the most risky, interest and highly inflated investment models that most working class have been clogged with for a long time now,  and if care is not taken,  a lot of them are going to retire to meet nothing worth it on the long run,  just as you have rightly said,  I treat banks as a bus stop and not a destination for my money,  and that is the reason I only store the amount I want to use on my bank card and anything I want to hold my money for some time in form of saving,  then I rather hold a value-added assets like Bitcoin and the rest to be at a safer side.

I don't trust the bank and the bureaucratic process that is involved in its interest payment and security of funds so for that I avoid them in all totality at some point.
1668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sad reality: some countries gamble more than they can afford on: November 10, 2023, 11:01:37 PM

If the casinos were becoming a problem to the country,  the government of that country would have banned it without hesitation.  They are reluctant to ban them because they are making money from the huge tax these casinos pay. The government did not impose gambling on anyone, so the decision to gamble is a personal choice. The least the government of the affected countries and maybe Non-governmental Organisations and private individuals can do is to sensitize their citizens on the need to gamble responsibly and help them to overcome addiction.
I don't think that the casino is a perceived state problem,  since the country is earning grst revenue in the form of tax from the casino,  and for that, they don't really care about what the citizens may have been put through,  and the reason for that being that the government will only warn the citizens on the danger of excessive gambling and nothing more than that and that is why they placed an age limit of 18+ years, to make sure that individuals are mature enough to handle the gambling activities to the point of making room for exit if they perceive that there are losing too much along the line.

But in this case, the government is not paying any attention towards that direction and for sure,  gambling is gaining a lot of popularity on the global scale and governments need to do more to avoid its potential danger.
1669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No scam sportsbooks on: November 10, 2023, 10:43:10 PM
This is how business should be and if there's really a cases that they drive out the winners then maybe they are a scam casino and doesn't want their gamblers to win so we should avoid that.
You clearly have no idea how sportsbooks function. Most sportsbooks are considered soft sportsbooks which implies that they don't like consistent winners and chase them away by limiting their bets.

Only few books are considered sharp like Pinnacle, Bookmaker etc which welcome winning punters and don't chase them away at all.

I don't know why some people will just out of their own personal assumption made a conclusion on what is not it, why are they thinking that sportbooks are being manipulated by the providers, if this had been that easy or possible to achieve then why are sone gamblers still found winning over the house, or maybe we should ask why many gamblers are still interested in going after this while gambling.
There's always that reason and its not something that you can removed on human beings.  Grin

Stay or deal up on the place on which you do seem comfortable, some might be having that notable difference in terms of handling out their bettors or customers
We do have tons of choices in speaking about platforms and its up to you which one you would really be deciding on where to play. The lists above given
about that sportsbook that currently existing, it might not be updated considering that there are new platforms as of this moment which is also
that considerable in speaking about reputation and legitimacy.
The choice to gamble on a specific casino is solely aimed at how the gambler views the casino and what level of trust he builds within the time that he may have gambled on the casino,  and if he finds that casino worthy to stay with all the time,  we have seen several time where gamblers who failed to carry out adequate search about a casino fall for the scams casinos that we have around and that is one of a hell experience that no one will want to go through.

Imagine having your money stuck on a casino that you failed to carry out adequate research on to know how they operate and treat their clients when it comes to game probability fairness and withdrawal transparency.
1670  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Market Chart November and December 2023!! on: November 10, 2023, 08:49:37 PM

It all depends and we don't have a definite answer with that because we're all speculating and all the answers will be likely predictions and guesses. Both of those questions have the answers of 'probably' and that's because we're moving up and since today,

Price predictions vary according to variables. If the price reaches 40,000 before the end of the month, many will say that the price of Bitcoin will be 50,000 or 60,000 before the end of the year. If it was 50, people would say 60,000 or 70,000, and vice versa, if we return to the point of 30,000 or even 20,000, the prediction changes. According to the current price, even if it is based on technical analysis indicators, the price of 48k seems accepted.
Yes exactly if Bitcoin price continue in an uptrend direction for a while,  the direction of market speculators will change and the start predicting according to the short-term sentimental beliefs and that can indeed confuse most of the newbies in the market if they follow such speculations,  but then at some point,  there is a way that the market will behave for a certain time duration that may trigger up our appetite to make such speculations.

But then I also have a positive mindset for Bitcoin market for the time being and I am sure that I will not be surprise to see a 40+k price record before the end the year.

1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bustabit Bankroll Profit Predictor on: November 10, 2023, 08:29:28 PM
So the difference here is 0.015BTC gains and that happened over 10 days
 -which makes a daily rate of 0.15% and translates to a yearly rate of 54.75% - correct me if I am wrong.
Your calculation is right, but the profit/commission comes from users' losses on Bustabit. Therefore, you won't receive the commission/profit at the same rate always. Your gains may become negative if any user makes good profits on Bustabit now. Anyway, OP has made an estimator and he has also mentioned that the calculation could be inaccurate.
Even at that,  the 54%+ annual turnover for bankroll is still unrealistic at some point even though all the gamblers lost their games in the specific period to the point of having high returns for that year out,  even at that,  it is not possible to still achieve such high return,  I know bustabit have a good bankroll system a few years back according to history but then also we have to be accurate when giving figures of how much there actually pay in bankroll interest at the end of the month.
1672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sad reality: some countries gamble more than they can afford on: November 10, 2023, 08:22:23 PM
Why does it have to be about poor countries? If a country is rich is it ok for its citizens to lose a bunch of money?
I'm making the distinction because for a poor country to have many people addicted to gambling and losing more on gambling than they can afford, it's going to have a wider effect than in a country where the state is already fully developed and in a good economic situation.

Moreover, it's an interesting phenomenon to observe how in poor countries people tend to gamble more than in other countries, at least proportionally speaking. Seems like people in dire situations can be more prone to vices somehow.
Well at some point,  alani123 you may have thrown this too far as far as gambling addictions/losses and its resultant effect on individuals,  and also making a separation between rich countries and poor countries' involvement in gambling,  but just you to know that,  the resultant effect of gambling addictions or loses is a general phenomenon and even the level of gambling involvement is also generalized and should not be regionally segregated from one country to the next.

But the bottom line is that,  whether you are from a 1st world country or a third world country you shouldn't take gambling as a means to earn a living and you should avoid any possible addictions because gambling can ruin your life,  so be it st to take it for what it is and that is for fun and nothing more than that.
1673  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: November 10, 2023, 08:02:41 PM
Many gambler want to private and secure their personality exactly when joining gambling platform, as possibility try with gambling platform without required with KYC despite have some gambling platform have regulation current their gambling located must have pass KYC for all user. You right with some gambler have several casino site exactly when have casino update new rule with required KYC they will move to other casino site and leave the casino have completed rule.

I don't know with some casino rule exactly KYC process, have easily wat with document ID and take selfies as ruler for gambling platform KYC but some casino require until fourth level not only with document ID but also have post proof until need show Bank proof if want an approved document KYC.
The first thing that anyone should do before even creating an account on a casino is to first of all decide whether or not the casino requires you to make a KYC verification or not and this, is what we have to be rest assured and settled with before we go ahead with the account creation,.

In fact, the issue with KYC is a mandatory role for some citizens of some countries since they have a full gambling regulations,  and any of the citizens who want to gamble must be ready to hand out the ID verification
1674  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will it Hold? BTC Targets $40,000 on: November 10, 2023, 07:25:21 PM
This sudden pump happened due to the bitcoin ETF news. Many think the approval will be this year but i think it will be next year before halving. If this is the expected bull rally then I think it's too easy for people to make money and i think whales will not let it happen. They make money by manipulating the market and people were buying the dip for a long time Future traders were waiting for a breakout which happened recently and many opened their long positions. I think the market can go to 40k to make a major correction so that it can wipe out all the long positions and create panic among the long term investor who will then book profit in panic to take a lower entry.
There are a number of things that contribute to Bitcoin sudden market reactions such as the recent price increase to the present state which has triggered a lot of reactions from market speculators who are speculating what the possible cause of the price pump even though Bitcoin halven is around the corner and that could possibly make Bitcoin price to react at any time.

Although bitcoin ETFs have been one of the sure sole causes of this recent price the reason being that,  Bitcoin started increasing in price suddenly after the news of the ETF announcement even though it was later discovered to be false news but Bitcoin has refused to drop from that price behaviour since then and up until this very moment
1675  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⚽️ SPORTBETTING ADVICE ⚽️ on: November 10, 2023, 06:58:29 PM

sports betting is always the top choice for a bettor who wants to try his luck with lower risks. I really understand that all types of betting have risks, but this is different from sports betting, which has less risk by predicting the team score to get a bigger chance of winning, although there are always surprises such as luck, but the favorite team will not always keep losing.
while casino games such as slots etc. depend heavily on luck and cannot predict the chances of winning.
Yes and since sportbet are the favourite of most gamblers,  it becomes highly important to place some emphasis on some of the possible negative aspects of the games which have not really been different from what we have always started and that is as a sports bettor,  you must have some level of implementations of a self-drafted deliberate control set up that will help you to properly manage yourself through all the time to the point that you become unbordered about the happening around you.

Not that only do in-house games that require luck to win them,  but also even in sports you will need the luck to be able to select and choose the right team to win the game as you select them because most outcomes results are mostly unpredictable.
1676  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | VIP | Instant withdrawals!|ARGENTINA & AVFC on: November 10, 2023, 06:50:01 PM
But casino always consider big event timing so if this happened during weekdays then they will offer promotion during weekdays. Casino like Duelbit always offer a promotion on most matches from popular team no matter what is the day since they knew that gambler will allocate time just to place bet in special match like this.
Most popular sportsbooks will offer promotions literally every single day, but the best ones will be reserved for the big matches for obvious reasons. The liquidities for such matches are usually really high and promotions are one of the reasons as to why that is the case.

World cup on the other hand is another thing where the whole world gets together, sure the last one was between Argentina and France, but do we think those were the only nations that bet on it? Of course not, the whole world wagered on the result of that game and it was certainly an entertaining game without a doubt.
Agreed. So many people earned tons by betting on Argentina(Draw no bet) in that final which was one of the best in soccer history.

rakebacks are quite common on most sports betting platforms,
though they're done way more for habit forming than for rewarding people properly, it's their business model after all

regarding the game, that was a cool one, you're right.
Sports bets are globally done and as long as the casino is not blocked in a region then whatever bonuses and benefits that comes with them at some point and rakeback is one of such bonuses since it reflects on the total amount of wager of a gambler to get payment and how much he earns,  and this how it has been all over and any casino that limits a specific region in the rakeback payment then it a total violation of the players right at some point and if that is left unchecked,  it can result into something bigger like the casino losing the clients to other casinos who don't make such rakeback condition such as regional restrictions.

Sport bets remain one of the games that amount to the highest total wager in a casino and it should be properly treated to avoid any possible abuse of a specific region or people.

Hello, I have already sent you the bank's encrypted PDF file. What do you mean by "original PDF format"? I have explained that this application does not have a download function and can only be downloaded on Windows. However, what is downloaded is not a PDF file. I can only contact the bank to send it to me or directly send the original PDF file to your email. If necessary, I can directly contact the bank to send it to you without me as an intermediary. Once again, I want to reiterate that I have already contacted the bank and they currently do not have a download function, so they can only send it via email. Thank you
I think getting a PDF from the bank is as easy as getting the image of the statement or whatever part of your bank information that was requested,  I don't know how bank apps work in your region,  but in my bank app I can request for either pdf or image of the statement at the point of demands and that format get sent to email.

So I believe if that is your problem,  I advise you to get through to your bank and request for that or make it manually by yourself you can convert the image to a PDF file and get it sent to the casino team,  I believe that this will solve your problem at once.

Tron Blockchain is explained below.

1.Tron is fast and reliable.
2.Transaction fees are the lowest.
3. Stable transaction fee.

What do you think ?
I kind of wonder how this relates to tron blockchain in any way and why you just included this in you reply on this discussions knowing fully well that the topic is about Poloniex exchange and not some blockchian related thread so I kind of get confused,  and to make matter worst,  you did not mention anything like self custody as one of the feature of from blockcain,  in the sense that users of any tron based exchange can hold custody of their coins and this prevent them form getting stolen by hackers at some point and so also we have to look at what make this features so unique and an additions to the many security problems that we may have with some of the exchanges or other platforms that act as third parties custodians.

Although most of the exchanges already have what they call safu, which is a refund insurance against such hacks and other security incidents that may happen in the exchange,  the team will make a 100% refund but then there is still a need to improve.

Edited out

Can you be specific here? You mean the Champions League or the Premier League? Infact, they're favorites in every Competition they play anf also having Pep Guardiola as head coach makes football beautiful and easy for them to play.
They also have special players in the club even if they do work as a club to get whatever they want. Players like Kevin De Bruyne, Doku, Erling Haaland and Bernado are all mentally intelligent players.


For the last two seasons,  Manchester City have been on a winning trend and that has shown in the number of trophies they're left in the last two season,  like the last season when the new head coach took over the management of the club, there have won both leagues in two consecutive times and that goes a long way to show how Manchester city faith will be and what will become of them, most importantly when and how to properly manage whatever comes out of the current season where Manchester City will and is doing well again and all point to them and the strongest club in both premiere league and championship in this season and even beyond.

Although there are some other,  clubs that may possibly put up a strong resistance against them but then in the end,  Manchester City will still come up with a winning formula that will still lead them to the ultimate winning in the end.

Sincerely speaking, I take gambling as the list of what I do,  and at the same time,  I only gamble for entertainment and nothing more,  this is why I have almost set up the time that I gamble and how much I gamble with each week,  and this has helped me a lot in recent time to be able to deal with a lot of things that would have ordinarily been a drawback to me in the long run,  this is why I have realized the fact that anything outside your set limit is a no go area,  I don't have a P. A but I use my device as my P. A reason is that I can easily set whatever limits in gambling just from my phone,  and sometimes,  I see that my phone will go off if I exceed my set time by just 1 second,  so that is why,  at times I see myself winning so much in a game but then if I exceed that set time and I didn't close down before that time,  I may get locked out and I may lose the game at the end.

That is why, sometimes I always try to close all my games opening before anything that will make me exceed that set time and at what space.
