Coric already won against Berdych. He will face Basilashvili in the QF. Meanwhile Monfils won and is thru to the semis. Federer vs Fucsovics is easy to predict - Federer. But the rest might pull a surprise though. So I would predict maybe Federer on the finals but the I wanted to see more of the rest of the players. The draw shows the Federer vs Coric might be the set up for the semis and then Monfils vs Tsitsipas. So its going to be a tough draw for Federer.

Tsitsipas lost the 2nd set against Hurkacz but winning the 3rd set easily. This means Tsitsipas confirmed his semi with Monfils. In the semi my bet is for Tsitsipas.

Now in the other semi which I am predicting Federer vs Coric, Coric have a good chance. If he wins the semi then he will kiss the trophy and if Federer wins in the semi then he will lift the trophy.

I think I am too early to predict but let's see. :-)

Its hard for ballers when boundries lines are so short. Sidhart kaul is good bowler in death and Chahal is good too but it was Maxwell's day so we should give some credit to him. i guess india should fix there playing 11 now and stop messing around with team.
I watched the full match possibly every ball. I can not believe that India lost this T20 too.  Everything gone right for Maxwell, everything. He was scoring like something possessed him.  

This things happen. Only one wins. You can see the WI vs England match (ODI). WI was nearly winning the ODI (chasing 418 runs) but Rashid's 4 wickets from 5 balls took the match away from WI.

In a match win or lose does not matter, what matter is the entertainment. The T20 between India and Australia was entertaining in my opinion.

Did anyone just see the epic match between Nadal and Kyrgios? I'm still amazed at what just happened in this 3+ hour match. Kyrgios showed what he is capable of when he is in top form coming from 3-6 down in the third set tiebreak and saving three match points to beat Nadal 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 to reach the quarter finals in Acapulco. I just wish Kyrgios plays like this all the time and like I said in previous posts I'm hoping that it is this year he finally gets his mentality right because he has shown that he can beat the best and can potentially be one of the greatest players.  
I completely missed it. I was busy whole day. In fact I did not have any idea that there was a match of Nadal. I was following Dubai hard. I am a bit surprise that an 72 ranked member took down Nadal. I can imagine the match was full with entertainment.

Anyway back to Dubai hard:
Good to see Federer and Coric made it to this stage. Now it's fairly easy to pick the semi finalist for me hehe
Monfils already in the semi
Tsitsipas is making his way to semi
In between Fucsovics vs Federer by bet is for Federer and
In between Coric vs Basilashvili my bet is for Coric.

If everything goes right then Federer or Coric will lift the trophy I think.

RESOLVED:

Bestmixer.io sent me back my BTC today.
So happy to learn it bud.



My lessons here:

ME:
* Always carefully read transfer instructions and double-check and trip check-addresses for Send or Receive.
* I need to learn more about wallets. GreenAddress support was great. But not being able to digitally sign with the previously-used address is a limitation.  
(The multi-signature config has positives too - I need to learn more)
I would like to add:
If the fund is in a multiSig wallet then move the amount you want to send to a standard wallet that allows to sign a message if necessary in future. Then send the fund from the standard wallet to the desire wallet you want. I understand for small amount transaction the hard work does not worth but I will do it for large transactions.

Thanks everyone for all the help -Zadicar, Pffrt - and Royse in particular
It's my pleasure. See you around bud.

Sorry mate, I was down this past couple of days, although I have a good win in land based casino here so everything is good.  Grin

Nishikori vs Hurkacz is a good match right now. Hurkacz takes the first set but Nishikori is fighting back 6-5 and he is currently serving in the second set.
Good to know that house lose and gamblers win hehe. congrats bud.

I am not into this matches however I will be waiting for Federer vs Verdasco and Coric vs Berdych. May be I will think of risking some money too just not sure right now.

Bangladesh will play Against NZ Tomorrow.Bangladesh is disappointed after losing 3 consequetive ODI's.It wont be easy for them to play well Against conditions like this.And since shakib Isn't playing that will be big blow for them.   
     
This will be an interesting test match. It will be hard for Bangladesh to stay in the game because in recent days NZ are doing really well in their ground. Bangladesh needs to focus on their 2nd innings batting. They have this record to break down in the 2nd innings.

My pick will be New Zealand for this test however I will not be surprised if they is any upset for NZ.
8507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 27, 2019, 11:00:25 AM
Picks :
Winner : India (1.49 odds)
1st Innings India total : More than 150



These predictions are as per my understanding. It's up to your understanding and belief to tail my bets or not. I will love to know your views both in support or against these predictions
I will also go with India. India is better team besides they are playing in their home ground which is a big advantage for them. They are always the best in their ground.

People may talk about the 1st T20 but from my observation that was a bad day for India. I am not sure about the winning margin but I am expecting this will be a close game and India will win.
8508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2019 discussion on: February 27, 2019, 10:46:43 AM
Today was a break day; the next match will be played between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans in Dubai tomorrow.
I was expecting Multan Sultan to win and they did. Although Multan Sultan and Islamabad United played one more matches than others but having 2 points for Multan Sultan was great.

Islamabad United has another match today with Karachi Kings. My calculation is that Islamabad United should win the match and in between Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars my bet is for Quetta Gladiators.

I would be more interested in investing if the cost of each square was 0.001 BTC and a recognized escrow service was provided.
0.001 * 1000 = 1 BTC and this is not profitable for them.

Anyway, from my observation, I think the price is not attractive also the entry free. When people calculate they will keep 1BTC (assuming 0.002BTC per slot) and they will give away another 1BTC, they (people) lose motivation. As one of the member suggested they can keep a percentage of the collected money. Max may be 20%.

I see there are only 3 squire sold so far.

All top teams lose every now and then as they can't win all the time. The problem I have found with the Indian team is that the people have high expectations for them to always win especially when they are playing on home soil but the reality is that it can't always be this way and touring teams will get a win every now and then. 
This can happen with any team. You can not ignore bad day.
Yh you are right that expectation is higher from India especially when it's in their ground. They created this expectation. I have seen they were stopping Australia's consecutive winning record when Steve Waugh was their captain.

Anyway, we will find the answer today. I am expecting they will win today.

I was late in the party, forgot to predict Bencic winning this one, and she actually did. Good for her.  Grin
Yh too late and the tennis world moved ahead 4 days hehe

Anyway, in Dubai hard, Federer is going to face Verdasco. I am expecting a 2 - 0 win for Federer. And in Coric vs Berdych match my prediction is 2 - 1 for Coric.

UPDATE:

As advised here by Royce and Zadicar, the definitive answer from GreenAddress tech support is that:
YES. The funds would be properly sent to my wallet - if bestmixer.io initiates a send back to the same address

I communicated this to bestmixer.io as follows:

Quote from: ME / OP / Randy Patrick (another venue)
Bestmixer.io: Per GreenAddress, I've confirmed that funds will be properly returned to me if you send to the original transaction address. Thus, you can assure return to the rightful owners and there is NOT a logical reason that you need me to sign this address (which is not technically feasible). Per GreenAddress support:

" In that case, if that is indeed your address, and they simple send back to that address > then it will arrive in your wallet. > In your case I think your transaction is this one: > > https://blockstream.info/tx/***************************************** > > This has a single input, spending from a UTXO with address > **********************************, which you say belongs to your wallet*. > > In that case, if that is indeed your address, and they simple send back to that address > then it will arrive in your wallet. > > Does that answer the question? > > Rick "

Now the ball is in their court to act with integrity. Bestmixer has no legitimate reason to not resolve this situation.
This sounds good. Feel free to post an update once you hear back from them.
By the way, it's Royse not Royce

Cheers :-)

Before submitting the scam report, here is another "out of box" idea that occurred to me:
[ I can propose this IF bestmixer.io continues to insist that it needs 100% proof that I'm the source.  And I can suggest this whether they are taking this position sincerely or not ]

My idea to resolve is to provide remote access to my computer and/or simply provide the credentials/ownership of my wallet.
I don't have any other significant funds in this wallet (maybe $40) and the entire transaction history is less than a month with minimal transactions.
(This would probably have to been done via a third party escrow agent)
And of course, I would disconnect / air-gap my main data drive or even re-image my computer for security.





Don't do this. Do not give access to anyone of your computer. Even though you do not have significant amount of money but giving away wallet information basically takes everything away from your hand.

Create the scam accusations and see their responses. Also let them know the link of the scam accusations page. There will be other forum members as well who will give you advice but I am sure no one will tell you to give your wallet credentials.

If returning the balance to the address where it came from gives you your Bitcoin back then bestmixer.io should return it. I do not see any issue there.

If I understand correctly, OP has sent BTC using coinbase. Now, even if bestmixer sent BTC back to that address, OP will not receive that BTC.
OP used GreenAddress wallet (I never used that before, I have no idea).

By the way, this is really worse case scenario. If someone use coinbase (I am not sure how coinbase works) or any other exchange then this reverse back the transaction is not gonna work.
8515  Economy / Gambling / Re: Win one bitcoin on: February 26, 2019, 02:36:06 PM
Yep, since the site is new, for a while, until you get a good name, I also suggest you to use an escrow.

I like the fact that the block hash is used for selecting the winner. And also I find interesting the idea with the commercials, although I don't know what can be shown on such a small size. (Edit: I've seen now 2 bought squares, cool!)
What I don't like is that from every 2BTC you collect, you give out 1BTC as prize. I would have understood 20%, maybe 25% too... but half of the money is a bit much imho. And this is at 0.002BTC from the site, not the 0.005BTC from the ANN...
The amount on the site and this ANN must be a typo. I hope they fix it. By the way, I see the money is already there: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1WinitJzbmwjYo3SKxsbaKXPxP4UQWsBM

Instead of they holding it, they can simply find a trusted escrow here and ask the escrow to hold the fund.
8516  Economy / Gambling / Re: Win one bitcoin on: February 26, 2019, 02:23:23 PM
I like the concept however since you do not have any reputation in the forum, I will suggest to escrow the prize money to a trusted forum member and then market the website. The escrow will ensure that the winner will get paid 100%

Good luck.

Should all the 0-999 slots be filled first before you draw your winner ?
I think the slots needed to be filled before the draw.
8517  Economy / Services / Re: Help Me Recover "Lost" BTC Sent to Bestmixer.io (25% Recovery Fee) on: February 26, 2019, 02:20:34 PM



Royse:
? Just to be clear, is it fair to say that Bestmixer.io has no logical reason to refuse to simply return the funds back to the original send address (i.e., effect a reversal of the transaction?).  Are we fairly certain there aren't technical obstacles (due to the multi-sig wallet)?
~snip~
I do not see any technical obstacles here.

If A and B are two Bitcoin address and coin has sent from A to B then the same coin (minus tx fee obviously) can be send back to address A from address B. There should not be any difficulty despite any of them are multiSig, or segwit or legacy or anything else.

I do not see any logical reason for Bestmixer.io to refuse the return.

You are welcome bud and happy to help you to find the ways to resolve the issue.
8518  Economy / Services / Re: Help Me Recover "Lost" BTC Sent to Bestmixer.io (25% Recovery Fee) on: February 26, 2019, 01:51:09 PM
I appreciate the effort to help Royce...
Thus far, the only reply I received from GreenAddress suggests that I wouldn't have all the keys to do this - as indicated by quintuple:

"Your question is answered in our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document which you can
> > find at h̲t̲t̲ps̲://gr̲e̲e̲n̲a̲d̲d̲r̲e̲s̲s̲.i̲t̲/f̲a̲q:

> > it contains a lot of useful information about the service.
> > To explain the reasoning, the answer is no because our wallet uses a multisignature format
> > that offers extra security.
"



Ok make sense bud.

Note that I've asked bestmixer.io repeatedly to return the funds.
The transaction hash is readily seen in all the BTC explorer views
But they keep says that unless I can digitally sign with the same address (which I can't because of the multi-sig wallet) they aren't going to budge.

? I'm wondering if bitmixer.io is being unreasonably difficult, uncooperative or even disingenuous in denying this transaction ?
It is so exceedingly unlikely they would randomly have gotten this $260 (to their public address) right after I'd initiated the mixing
transaction. Even if not provable with 100% certainty, they could easily deduce that it's highly likely that I initiated this send.
(And this is especially true if one looks at traffic pattern to their public address - where this transaction is an outlier)

If something has some ideas on what to do next -and wants to take a deeper dive I will share all the details privately.
My recovery offer still applies
I do not see bitmixer.io should have any problem to send the funds back from the wallet it came from. This might be an unnecessary to push it further. I would suggest to create an Scam Accusations against them.

Follow this format when you create the topic:
Code:
[b][color=black]What happened:: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Scammers Profile Link: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Reference Link: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Amount Scammed: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]PM/Chat Logs: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Additional Notes: [/color][/b]
Copy and paste it in new thread then fill all data.

This is there ANN topic: [ANN] BITMIXER.IO ✰ High Volume Bitcoin Mixer ✰
This is the user: BITMIXER.IO
Here is a little problem is that the user is not active anymore however I think this scam accusation will help you to get the funds back. Because this will harm their reputation if you are correct.

Because of IPL these days we see a lot of new faces in international cricket and they are doing very well. Playing matches with big players takes away the fear of big events.
True but the fact of worry here is all about having an injury. If a big player got injured badly during IPL, team have to suffer the most on world cup. Yeah, it keeps player active and energetic.
Good point. I hope the officials do their best. I am looking forward to see an eventful IPL. I am also ready to actively predict for the matches.

Anyway, are you going to watch Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans today in PSL? Who do you think gonna win? My mind is blank.

Yeah, it was held in South Africa but I'm not sure if the reason was election. But it's not going to happen anymore, imo. Some of the cricket boards may not also allow their players to participate in IPL because of the world cup and if it happens, IPL will not be a good one this time.
I am thinking the opposite. Being in the IPL will keep the players active. In IPL matches batsmen are more into hit and win mood. This will eventually lead this world cup to have some high scoring matches.

Because of IPL these days we see a lot of new faces in international cricket and they are doing very well. Playing matches with big players takes away the fear of big events.
