1601  Economy / Economics / Re: JP Morgan says large firms will not follow Tesla's bitcoin move on: February 19, 2021, 06:35:26 PM
The thing is... They should speak for themselves and not others. Yes JP Morgan might not be making the same move Tesla, but that doesn’t mean that other big firms won’t make that same move, there are so many of them that will likely be getting ready do that, and there have been so many of them doing it. Although the difference is going to be that they won’t invest as much as Tesla.
They are known to be vocal about other things even in the past, they were vocal and they always say something negative about bitcoin all the time and there were evidence that they used to invest in bitcoin as well in the past, so i would not trust any of their analysis as it does not makes any sense as they do not control other companies and they cannot control other investment and it is just their usual negative prediction and nothing else.

1602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com announces Israel Adesanya as their Global branded ambassador on: February 18, 2021, 11:49:49 PM

It is a big step for Stake.com to have him as their brand ambassador. IIRC, there's also a sponsorship or brand deal from sportsbet.io for Watford FC. 
Sportsbet are sponsoring multiple teams as far as i know and Stake stepped up the game by making Israel Adesanya their brand ambassador and i would like to know how much they are paying him, sportsbet is paying millions of dollars for each of the sponsorship and i am not sure what will happen with the new regulations in UK that the teams cannot sponsor gambling sites.

Didn't know Nunes was going to fight in this UFC event.
So it just might make for a good multibet for both the stylebender and the women's champion to not have their fights go the distance. Grin
What are your thoughts on these two big bouts in the 259?
The card is having three title fights and the big story is Israel Adesanya moving up in weight to challenge the champion in the higher weight division and the rest of the fights are not getting that importance. The main event might go the distance but for Nunes i will always pick her to win.
1603  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rise of Bitcoin, Fall of Dollar on: February 18, 2021, 09:40:49 PM
Today I found out something very interesting...
"1 Bitcoin is still 1 Bitcoin, it is only the value of the dollar falling"
(due to inflation, because the government just keeps printing money out of thin air)
There is inflation in some countries but the rally in bitcoin is not because of the direct result of inflation or government policies but it is true that there is a slow down in economy and so is the reason major investment firms are concentrating in the cryptocurrency market. You can have any ideology that suites you, by your view the entire fiat currency is falling not just dollar  Tongue.
1604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think the price of BNB will go above $ 300? on: February 18, 2021, 07:54:43 PM
The way its price is increasing at the present time, many people think that its price will go above $ 300. Do you think so?
With the price of BNB rallying and the price right now is around $194 it is possible we might see a much bigger rally with some of the tokens are planning to launch them in it considering how useless the ETH platform is at the moment where users are forced to give much higher transaction fees which will not help the team either and if those projects starts migrating then it will easily rally over $300.
1605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Three Indians arrested over illegal betting in ZACS on: February 16, 2021, 11:58:02 PM
Yeah, the nationality will be a big issue. By the time this could also cause external affairs issue. In their own country this will not be dealt with high concern, but the same will be taken additional priority by the cross country issues. In other terms most of the time people located around the border region holds the citizenship of both India and Bangladesh.
How can this situation be termed as an external affairs issue between two countries if gamblers are caught and moreover they have a strict law on gambling as per the above users and hence it will not be diverted like that. What is the punishment they will be getting if they have the evidence, but if they are caught unlawfully then it will be an external affairs issue.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 16, 2021, 10:07:35 PM
This now sets up the series as both teams are square however the next match will be interesting as its a day/night test match and we all saw what happened in Australia when India were out played with the pink ball so its going to be interesting to see how the Indian team goes. Even though England lost this test match, I think it will give them confidence heading into the day/night test match knowing that India played poorly in their last day/night test match.
India was touring when they were humiliated in the day night Test and now they are playing in India and obviously they will be preparing spinning tracks. Moeen Ali is confirmed that he is leaving back to England and wont participate in the rest of the matches and that is a big blow to the side as he was the in form player who picked 8 wickets and he played an entertaining knock in the final innings.
I give India the advantage and toss will be a major factor .
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com announces Israel Adesanya as their Global branded ambassador on: February 15, 2021, 11:06:39 PM
I am hoping Stake will come up with some kind of big promotion and giveaways for his fight against Jan Błachowicz as he is moving up in weight and trying to become another double champion and they already gave away freebies when the announcement came about Israel Adesanya becoming their global brand ambassador and this is a major step up in competition and hopefully there will be a watch party by Steve  Wink.

Mayweather thought he was better than Muhammad Ali, can you believe that?
That's why he does not get a respect from great boxers and some fans.
Mayweather is a self proclaimed greatest fighter and you cannot even compare him to Muhammad Ali  Cheesy. He is a troll and i have read his statement on how he is greatest which is absurd but i respect Mayweather for his defensive skills as he rarely gets punched in the face throughout his career and that is a big deal but he is playing a character to attract more attention and he is successful in it.

In India, we don't need to pay taxes on the income that is earned in other countries. So any income that is generated in the UAE is not considered for tax purposes in India. And there is no income tax in the UAE as well. UAE is one of the few countries, where there is no tax on your income. So it is a win-win situation for players who take part in tournaments that are held in the UAE. On the other hand, player income for IPL and other tournaments that are held in India are subjected to Indian income tax (maximum rate of 42.7%).
I am not aware of these rules, so basically you can travel to other country and work and you are excluded from paying the taxes even with temporary permits, that is a really great opportunity if that is the situation and that means all the tours India makes oversees, the players are not subject to the match fees as income tax, they only need to pay for the matches played in India ?.

"So you deposited 0.11 LTC and want to withdraw 0.112 LTC ?? Why anyone would do that..." And? This is an excuse to block (steal) my  money? They are so stupid. They can delete my account, i dont give a f... I will warn others about who they are. Dirty cheap casino.
You are talking about a site that gave away millions as wins a few weeks ago and you are accusing them of taking $22 Roll Eyes. So there is a clarity on who is stupid to accuse a reputed site Tongue. If you are having a genuine issue you can contact the support team and they will guide you and respond to your queries and will sort your piss amount withdrawal Tongue.
"... a site that gave away millions as wins a few weeks ago..."  Shocked  Grin
Are you one of them? Dirty cheap casino!
To make things clear to you, one user won $5 million in a single roll in Stake and it was not a giveaway but he won that amount and they were able to withdraw them instantly, i am just a user and not representing the team.

I am pretty sure you have taken advantage of the give away or something similar using multi accounts, if not they will not block your account as many play with new accounts and they usually do not ban you if you are genuine user.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: February 15, 2021, 08:30:03 PM
Even at his age, Manny Pacquiao can still be destructive and fast, not to mention his countless experience in boxing. This will be any boxer's demise if they think they have an advantage over Manny because of his old age. I hope Crawford would accept this fight with the money involved and it would be a great experience and honor to even fight Pacman who is considered as a boxing legend.
The reason i like Manny Pacquiao is because he is never in a boring match up as there is always action and anything can happen because of his high pace and punching power and if the opponent makes a mistake then he will punish them badly. If Terence Crawford accepts the offer it will be his biggest pay day but i doubt whether he will accept the fight.

Now Pakistan vs South Africa is already ended, and we have very few days PSL2021 is going to start from 20 February 2021. Its very exciting even we have very fewer members for this event because mostly love IPL but still I am very happy and want to start a small competition if I have nearly 10 members then I will start this no entry fees first prize could be 1 mBTC second prize 0.5 mBTC and third and fourth number members will receive 0.25 mBTC each. If someone wants to participate please post here then I will start next procedure about this.
PSL just concluded recently if i remember correctly and the next season is starting already, i never watched all the matches but made a few bets on live matches in the past just looking at the scoreboard. If you are starting a competition you will find many people joining especially if it is free entry  Grin.
Before that i would like to know how to watch the matches live.

^  I didn’t watch the PPV live cos I didn’t want to pay for it.  Lol.  And it’s still locked in Fight Pass.  Had to wait to download the vid from somewhere not exactly legal.
I have a subscription and hence i am able to watch the fights live because i am wagging bets in other sports as well and i am spending more time on live sports, earlier i used to download files but not anymore as you can watching the fights in youtube before they take them down.


Anyway, I feel like Burns got adrenaline pumping because of a good first round and abandoned his game plan then tried to go for the finish til he gassed out.  Middle of the second round he looked a bit tired.
I am not sure whether it is adrenaline dump or the affects of COVID, Usman was tagged really bad in the first round but he was able to come back and showed his class, Burns tried to take him down after gassing out and he was able to defend it and the entire fight was basically a stand up battle.

Maycee Barber looked like she was taking it easy the first two rounds before fighting like ‘Maycee Barber’ at the third which she won.  Her team should’ve warmed her real good before the fight.
The game plan of Maycee Barber was the reason for her defeat and i could have gone with rounds betting rather than going for Barber to win.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do gambling websites start investigating accounts only after big wins? on: February 15, 2021, 05:04:37 PM
The biggest question here is, if the gambling website starts investigating that player's account after a big win, then why doesn't the gambling website start the investigation when that player starts losing money? I think a solution to the problem should be found.
We all know that these excuses pops up only if you win huge amounts and we have seen multiple complaints regarding that and in my opinion if a user never took advantage of the giveaways and faucets then they should not hang around with the excuse of multiple accounts. There are several sites that checks all their past history just to avoid giving out the money to the winner and you should avoid those sites and i never faced any issues because i never won big in any of these gambling sites.

Because those who are experienced can get their money back by posting on Bitcointalk and various places but there are many inexperienced people who can't tell their problem in the right place so they don't get their money back anymore. So this seems to me to be a big problem for gamblers.
A simple google search will help anyone to understand where to post these complaints and it is not a big problem and it is not about experience, it is just common sense.

Now back to the match. Michael Vaughan made such a fuss about the pitch yesterday (and got in to an argument with Shane Warne). And today, the no.8 batsman from India scored a century on the same track. And let's not forget. This is the same Michael Vaughan who predicted 0-4 series whitewash in Australia for the Indian team (India won the series 2-1). 
Michael Vaughan is good at predicting and he has proved that  Cheesy. Ashwin is playing well and he keeps on pushing his boundary as a batsman every time he goes out to bat and he showed his resilience in Australia to draw a Test match and here he was able to score a century when all the other batsman are struggling to score runs.

England already lost 2 top order batsman and the night watchman faced only one ball.

I'll watch Đoković - Zverev tomorrow, it will probably be the best one of the tournament. I'm cheering for Zverev, the best final tennis-wise would be Zverev - Tsitsipas.
I am worried with the health of Novak Djokovic as he was struggling with his fitness in the match against Taylor Fritz and against Alexander Zverev if he is not in full fitness it is going to be hard and with that in mind i might be betting on Alexander Zverev to win the match and it depends upon how Djokovic performs in the first set.

Ashwin scored a century in a pitch when the top order players are struggling and there is plenty of time left in this match and two days is more than enough to pick the England wickets
The target for England is impossible to achieve in the final innings and England already lost the first wicket but i wish the England players try to play a longer innings and frustrate the spinners by attacking them and force them to change their lengths by stepping out just like Ashwin played.

Ideally the England captain could have used the pacers (Olly Stone and Stuart Broad), but for some unknown reason he was reluctant to do so. In the end it was Olly Stone who got Ashwin out.
When Stuart Broad bowled the keeper was standing near the stumps and that says a lot about their energy levels and may be so is the reason the fast bowlers were not used.

Kamaru Usman made 13th consecutive wins in UFC welterweight category with 18 total wins and he is on the road to Hall of Fame like Georges St-Pierre previously.
Jon Jones sits on top of all the records in the UFC and that is the benchmark every fighter will be looking to accomplish and Kamaru Usman has the potential to be in that position as he does not see any challengers that could defeat him.


Here is the results


Source: Wiki

Kelvin Gastelum outclassed Ian Heinisch even though there were spots in the fight where Ian Heinisch landed great punches and kicks but gassed out pretty fast.

I would like to see Alexa Grasso and Maycee Barber again for a 5 round fight, Alexa Grasso surprised me with her ground skills as she is known for her boxing but improved a lot and i picked Maycee Barber to win and she showed her spirit in the third round as she was throwing hard but was too late.

Anyone watching Elise Mertens match against Karolina Muchova, i had a bad time as i was expecting Elise Mertens to win the match easily and made a bet on winning the first set and win by direct sets and to my misery Karolina Muchova came back from behind even though Elise Mertens was leading by 4 sets and then all of a sudden Karolina Muchova won the set  Undecided.
