Do you ever asked yourselves these things?
1. Which one do you prefer, Casino gambling or online gambling?
Nothing can compare to the sounds of real life casino, but I definitely prefer the smoke free environment at home.
2. How much money are you willing to spend on gambling?
Depends on my mood. I gamble when I'm happy. Can't gamble when I'm sad/mad - leads to bad decisions.
3. How do you manage your lose streak or win streak?
Set a stop loss ahead of time just like trading. Committing resources you don't have to "revenge" doesn't make sense.
4. If you will have $1000, what game in the casino you are going to play?
BlackJack if I'm awake, slots if I'm tired.
5. What is the best advice that you can give to a gambler?
Set the limit and rules for exiting before you go in AND also write down why you set those rules so you don't decide to override them.

Ah the good old N-armed bandit. The highly explorative behavior is preferred up front and ends with highly exploitative finish. This is probably why those sites and sounds are so dopaminergic. The clacking of coins falling into your bucket. If I'm committed to losing I prefer to do it slowly with 5 column three bar. This way if I'm up at any point and I realized I've made more than I should have I will be prompted to get out of my seat... only to return again the next day.  |

It has been the narrative goal of the media at large for the past decade or so. Anything critical of China is quickly censored or swept under the rug. Remember the whole China dogfood melamine discovery back in 2007? Probably 90% of voters won't even keep that in the back of their heads. Apparently Russian trolls on Facebook are enough to sway the vote of Americas  China has moved on from dogfood, now putting hazardous materials into food meant for human consumption that it sells to India. I can see Stalin and Mao siting at a tea party in Hell  |

You're not going to make much card counting unless you move the higher limit tables where you can press when you know you have favorable odds. I've counted cards in the past. You'll always want to move to a high limit table when you think you're above the 50% chance that the dealer will bust.
It's not illegal to count cards (at least big Las Vegas casinos0. Most casinos even give you a little cheat sheet if you ask them which shows you roughly when to hit or stand. They just won't let you go past the red rope area if you are doing so. I knew most of pit bosses at Bellagio and they weren't as nice to me when I played BJ, but when I switched to craps all of sudden I could go to the 5K tables haha.
Online casino, forget about counting since it's probably reset after every deal.

I just came back from seeing a mining farm that was done underground. Since the area was primarily granite base the enclosed area need a certain amount of airflow to get rid of the Radon gas but otherwise the area was pretty inert and was able to accept 20KW of heat soak without problem. I assume if nobody will be living in the area the Radon gas won't be much of an issue.

Funny, on fractional banking you need to keep 10% of ppls money in the bank Isn't that the weird realization. Centralized money becomes weakened when it's too distributed and decentralized money becomes weakened when it's too centralized. That makes my head hurt, I need to eat some ice cream and make the headache worse. That money that is counted "at" Coinbase, does that include the assets on their trading platform? |

You need to look at both sides of the debate. I know some people, who purchased Bitcoin at prices close to the ATH levels in December 2017. These people are still stuck with their holdings and their investments are in deep red. We always say that Bitcoin is a high-risk investment and you should invest only as much as you can afford to lose. But that is not always the case. There may be financial emergencies and these investors may be forced to sell their coins at a considerable loss.
This ATH story has been repeating itself over and over. Bitcoin peaked to 33 then pulled back for an entire year, Bitcoin peaked to 166 then pulled back, then to 1200 and pulled back for 3 years, then to 20k and here we are at only 1/2 way down. Last time I bought was at 7xx and I've sat on it since, even when it was in the $200 doldrums. If people want get rich quick or die trying schemes they should be bottling custom alcohols. |

Looks like the wind has been pulled from the sails for DeFi. ETH blocks are down to about 2.5ETH in rewards and revenue is about 1/2 what it was 10 days ago, 1/3 what is was 20 days ago. Whoever bough a bunch of new hardware better be in it for the long haul.
I'm curious as to how hard RVN and ETC are going to get hit these next 2 weeks.

Rig with 4xRX570 4GB and 2xRX580 4GB. Windows 10, drivers 20.4.2 Since yesterday RX580 stopped mining, RX570 continue to mining. Is there a solution to the problem under Windows? GPU1: Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-4).
Fatal error detected. Restarting. Lolminer released a new miner that has a workaround at the expense of diminishing hashrate. Each epoch I believe the hashrate falls off about 12% or something like that. Basically the age of the 4GB cards (and ASICs) has come to an end. ETC will switch over to a smaller DAG in an upcoming block so you can always switch over to that but don't expect anywhere near as much revenue. |

When someone sends a card in for warranty what usually happens with those GPUS? Most of the time if its something simple like a dead fan they replace the fan assembly and send back the GPU.
But if its something more involved they usually at first send the customer another new GPU while they fix that RMA'd GPU. Later what happens to those GPUs? Obviously they need to be sold.
Since they are no longer in production then don't sell them in retail stores however I remember back in 2016 I was able to get a remanufactuered (if that's what its called) R9 290 GPUs from Newegg. The packaging wasn't retail it was some OEM type of box but the GPU worked and everything.
So there is some channel on how you can buy these remanufactured GPUs, I don't think the company just throws them away in the garbage.
I live in Southern California and did all my GPU and Motherboard RMAs with the warehouses right here in City of Industry, Rowland Heights, Walnut. XFX is a little further in Ontario and EVGA is in Brea. Most of the time they repair the simple stuff in-house (broken fans, blown caps, damaged port connectors). MSI in Walnut was able to get my 750Ti RMAed in about 15 min - they confirmed the core was dead and then just pulled a new 1050 and issued the new serial on the spot. The badly damaged stuff goes back to China and is refurbed there. I wish I knew a contact at the refurb depot. |

I counted cards for a couple years and did quite well in Vegas until they changed their behavior. I only went to big casinos so I wasn't beaten up like you see in the movies, but I wouldn't chance that at some off Strip joint.
These days they slow the pace and rotate out the dealer, or the Pit Boss will ask for your marker if you're doing large bets (like $3k per hand). Finally had a string of bad luck that took wind out of my sails - Luxor sucks at comps BTW. Bellagio and Tropicana were awesome.

But I could not consider blackjack as a form of skill games because most of the skill games require more physical activity, practice, and time to win.
Blackjack is a skill-game when you are against real-human. Skill is needed here because you are about to challenge against the dealer's card. If you are against the house, then you are purely relying on luck. There is a call for every turn so it depends on how far you are satisfied with your card set. Just like in Poker, that specific executed call will be the basis of how your opponents will make their next move. I just heard that the site blackjack.fun, a gambling site that purely focuses on blackjack, will add multiplayer features. That's the battle between skills if that will implement. The problem is that the skill ceiling in blackjack is very low and any croupier who has completed the course will easily beat any professional blackjack player simply due to the fact that mathematics is on his side. In poker, the situation is roughly similar, but all the players are on equal terms. Mathematics is only on the casino side mostly because they have those large multidecks with auto shufflers essentially negating any real chance at card counting. Still, with good predictive analysis you can get your odds on blackjack to pretty darn close to 50/50 which is better than most games. |

Bet on the candidate that you're not voting for, that way even if your candidate loses the race you win some money for a stiff drink haha.
Seriously though I'm not seeing any wagers for Senate races which are quite important. Has anybody seen any options for those?

Thanks, but I don't want to mine at 10-15 mh. If there are no new coins, then we are going to sell these video cards in December.
For people looking for consistent income I would sell the cards after they have stopped mining. For people looking for maximum crypto gains I would sell the cards now to acquire maximum price for the cards and buy ETH on the next dip. 2 options for 2 different types of users. |

Been many years since the last GPU build i made.
Going to install Windows 10, on the old times had to install MSI Trixx to make the proper adjustments and use cgminer after that.
From what i read just need to install a miner software like CUDA miner and it does all for us.
Any tips on what software to use that makes the underclock and mining on the GPUs?
Jeebus it's not often we get old timers over here in the alt-coin section. Brings me back to the days I was mining BTC on Bitcoin core client to ARSTechnica's Guild. Couldn't find any of those nice 5xxx cards so had to settle for overpriced 6xxx cards. Those were the good old days. As Phil set you could grab a new nVidia card to start off. I always like to grab an nVidia to game on if other ALT mining goes to poop. I leave my AMD grunts to the heavy lifting on ETH. |

Likes majority of the sites in which not allowing US and UK players.
Yep, especially in US, that's because the government prohibits online gambling there. We can easily find the answer by googling. I'm not surprised if gambling online is restricted in US since it is also the same happening in most crypto investment. Anyway, something that makes me interested in this restriction is no countries in ASIA on the list, except Turkey (the area is located both in Asia & Europe). Does it mean all countries in Asia welcome (friendly) to online gambling? It's mostly because the government wants their cut of the money at every possible transaction. They know that the overwhelming majority of gamblers are not declaring their winnings and most casinos don't report anything other than the massive wins and those people they already have address, bank accounts, fingerprints, etc. You will find gambling laws in Asia vary greatly from one country to another. Two neighboring countries could have completely different philosophies. |

Small bets on the express in several games can bring profit more... The main thing is not to choose the big odds, but the smallest! And do not specify too many events!  Im pretty sure this strategy would be losing long term.... If you bet low odds all the time because they are more likely to win (yes, they are more likely to win, but can still lose), you will lose also. The lower the odd, the higher percentage of bets you need to win! I have seen plenty of favorites lose which looked like a sure thing, therefore its important not to pay too much attention to the odds, but rather at the team/player. This is what perhaps makes the angriest gambler. Somebody trying to win a 70% odds bet and failing 6 times in a row will scream that they're being cheated. Failing 24 17% chance bets seems plausible for some people because they don't see it as effectively the same odds ratio. Gambler needs to decide if they're in it for the challenge or just a relaxing time pass. |

One bill is usually 1 gram, let's assume there are absolutely no losses that makes 71 000 000 bills, but with them being worth just 0.23$ , it's just $16,3 million and something, or 1430 BTC. But the funny part is in the middle of the article: Earlier this year, Venezuela turned to a state-owned money printer in Russia to purchase 300 million of new bills after racking up debts with De La Rue, one of the world’s largest makers of bank notes.
Pinnacle of socialism, you're getting in debt when you're printing money, if this keeps up their only option is to start using monopoly money, and of course, not printing them but asking for donations. Of course this is also largely mismanagement as well as their dirty politics, but this oil-rich country is also suffering from the severe decrease in oil's price. And who would discount the economic sanctions harshly imposed on them by the powerful western countries led by the USA?
So, the situation is because of imbeciles getting elected and ruling and ruining the country and free money not flowing from the ground at the same pace, the real sanctions on the economy came well too late, the country was doomed from 6 years ago. Also, I find it funny how people are angry and the US for sanctioning Venezuela but haven't said a word previously when Venezuela was milking the capitalists with 100$ a barrel. What have the western world countries done? They stopped dealing with them, simple, isn't that the scenario that would have anyhow happened when all the dirty capitalist world would have collapsed? Yeah bad capitalist buying oil over $100 a barrel and exploiting poor Venezuela. They should be buying it now at $40 when nobody wants it Venezuela needs to play kiss ass again and entice the wealthy from Dubai, US, and affluent Europeans and Asians. The rich are often bored and want to see new stuff. Many of this current generation have not been to Venezuela. The country would have been better off spending the $300million on a tourism campaign. It worked for Turkey. |
