Good imagination Grin.

Do you think will it be that easy to get odds like that? I mean the real catch in your "strategy" must be the odds.

Usually people do predict in a same way (betting on strong team) because they do predict based of past performances. Still, people do go betting on other side (betting on weak side) due to personal reasons like "showing patriotism" or "my favorite player plays there so I want that underdog to win".

If 2 different group of people predict differently BUT again in different houses then you may go for "arbitrage" betting.
1542  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble only with Bitcoin and do you have other favorite alt-coin? on: November 05, 2019, 05:28:10 PM
By going through multiple pages of this discussion, I conclude there are two category of gamblers: first one gamblers who worship bitcoin so they never think about gambling with that and the second category is, they love to risk so they want to bet with bitcoin because it is having the highest value among cryptos.

Some people are having altcoins to gamble with because, for the same kind of gambling pressure still with less-risky way. I believe they are still belonging to 1st category. Almost all the altcoin gamblers are having their own reasons to make use of different coins for gambling still I do see them as a strong bitcoin adopters.

But, most of the gamblers are not having any favorite but they have some reason for not using bitcoins.
1543  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Harsh Reality About The Current ICO Project on: November 03, 2019, 06:41:49 AM
Unfortunately, you are not mistaken and you are right, these projects will never go the extra mile to make their project works, one example of this is IRONX, they do set up the exchange, they get the license from the country where they operate, they pegged the price of their token to their ICO price, and after that, they done nothing anymore, so they will soon to be forgotten,  some ICO's are like.
This has become the norms of many ICO now after the 2017, the only projects that are still maintaining their standard even if they are low in price which we all know is the result of bear market are those top projects that are listed in coinmarketcap, and this is why I came into conclusion some months back that the only projects that I want to be giving chance to right now If I have any spare money to invest are totally projects that are listed already in exchange and are within the top 200 coins in that market at maximum until I get the clear direction of some of these newer projects because I really don’t know what they stand for anymore, there is no level of confidence that you will build in them, they will end up disappointing you on their project after the ICO.
1544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IEO not forced you to hold their token on: November 03, 2019, 06:08:09 AM
What is my business about exchanges that will not force me to hold their token, it is not about forcing one to hold their token or not, it is about the exchange being reliable, I would rather prefer to participate in an IEO from an exchange that is reputable even if they have to force me to hold their token and I think that most of the exchanges that you mentioned here are exchanges that we need to be careful with their IEO because not all IEO that is being released by some exchanges will really make it.

Some of them would still not be different from ICO and they will end up still being a product of dumping and pumping coin, so I prefer to hold those tokens from those big exchange that you first listed for IEO projects than these ones mentioned.
1545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 02, 2019, 07:29:31 PM
So tomo we will have the 1st T20 match of India vs Bangladesh series. Though with Shakib Hasan being out for a year now things may not be that same for the team and find it difficult to cope up with India. But hopefully some good match could be witnessed.
There are some chances for match to be called off due to polluted air conditions; Always those schedulers for cricket matches go crazy. They choose England for world cup for its early summer which enforced lots of matched got abandoned. Now it is festival time in India and one of a Delhi match had experienced some play-offs due to breathing problems to players still a match is scheduled in a same venue around the festivals.

I guess out of Ind vs Ban, India must be the favorites still it is going to be a T20I clash and it could be anyone's day. I will bet on India as I do risk on favorites always.
1546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your Dice gambling strategy? on: November 02, 2019, 06:12:09 PM
I mostly bet on sports and politics but when it comes to dice game which i play at times, i use the martingale strategy. Initially i used to set for automatic role but then moved to manual with 60%, 70 % and 90% rates. I would suggest you to try other kinds of gambling as in dice games , it is purely based on luck and there is no such strategy involved.
Why you are suggesting to try dice gambling when there is no strategy involved with it? Are you profitable in dice gambling compared to sports and politics betting? There are people who are profitable with betting and they will never touch dicing because as far as I have observed no one is profitable with dicing and also most of them are not recommending it to anyone. I guess this is the first time someone is recommending to try dicing.

Personally, I never tried betting on politics because it is completely a new thing to me with respect to my available to resources on gambling. At the same time I am regular to dicing and I am also not in profit with my dicing and moreover I am just play it to spend my time somewhat excited, nothing more in expectation means Wink.

I have watched the dallas-la game and I feel like the dallas situation can't be sustained for too long unless it is addressed. It was so obvious that Luka was trying to play like a superstar, we all know he is a superstar in the making or even a star right now but that doesn't mean he should be playing like one when he has a teammate who is also another star.

If you stop giving the ball to KP for too long eventually he will want to move to a team that is either successful so his absence wouldn't be for nothing or move to a smaller team so he could get his shots up and get paid. In the end all of these players at early age do this for money, sure they like the game and all that but money is important and KP can't afford to be the second guy who gets 10 less shots than he used to if he wants to get paid.
1548  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin cross $50,000 by Dec 2020? on: November 02, 2019, 03:54:59 PM
I'am still listening but Im here sharpening my scythe and thinking thoughts of a price going down not up.    Always ready to listen for signs of strength and a break upwards of course but a slip under here seems an ideal playout of a negative scenario, the blip upwards the head fake that helps the downside ultimately.

 Could go that way or could be something else but I never want to be blind sided by the possibility I refused to consider.

[im g]https://i.imgur.com/59ctvMg.png[/img]

Very short term trend top and it does tie into a trend also on daily and we'll see which way it can go from here.
For me, I am listening more to the technology adoption tune of it to know the direction the price will be by that next year if there is massive adoption of bitcoin based on the usage of it for payment, I see bitcoin really moving towards that figure of $50k, but if we are still bent on using speculation to control the market, we need to always be very careful , because one thing that I have notice about speculation is that it will always head for the opposite side of the speculation every time the is concentration of it on one side.

When people are speculating that bitcoin will go upward that is when bitcoin would start growing downward, but when bitcoin is speculated to be growing downward that is when it grows upward, and it takes someone who would listen to the tune very well to cope.
1549  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are You Concerned On Sudden Rise of Bitcoin? on: November 02, 2019, 07:12:53 AM
The new thing about bitcoin (which seems like we have one all the time) it used to go up and stay there than go down and stay there and keep doing those moves multiple times. For the past few times there has been some "move down, stay, move down some more, stay, than go up" as in there is two parts of going down or two parts of going up.

Like we were $4k for example and moved to around 9-10k first than reached a peak of $13.8k which was the second up. Than we went as low as $8.5k this time around, than went to $7.2kish at the lowest. So, instead of going down and waiting, it goes down and goes down again. I feel like it has used its down moments multiple times already, I feel like it won't go under $8k anymore maaaaybe a little, like $7.8k or so but I am sure that would be very quick and go back up.
1550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to restrain yourself at a small loss and not spend money. on: November 01, 2019, 04:40:02 PM
It's easy to say but difficult to apply, you are right about having discipline and self control of a person to prevent them to spend farther more but what if that person don't possess that kind of discipline?, Well i guess that's the time that a person needs a guide or someone that can give them advice, prevent them from doing such thing, simply a person that is also by their side to always remind them and guide them to a better path that will not let them be in a wrong way, i'm referring to a family because family is the one that a person's most valuable aspect and i think if a person has a strong sense of family then i think he/she will think of them before spending and wasting too much money, he/she will just spend the money to the family than wasting them in gambling or anything else.
I don’t think that I even buy that idea there of having someone that will assist one in playing when one is not sick or dead,  and like you mentioned and I agree if anyone must go with this option, then the person assisting in plating has to be a family member. There can still never be anything as much as handling it by ourselves.

Gambling is meant to be a game played and enjoyed privately.  Carrying someone along would be risky since there are so many things that could be picked by the person.  I insist and advise players to learn how to be disciplined and stay in control of their games and to stop depending on people for guidance.
1551  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bakkt on: November 01, 2019, 04:03:21 PM
The release of bakkt may have been bearish at the onset, but I still believe that as the platform grows, there will surely be an improvement of this bakkt on the market and I was quite surprised also to have seen how much they have grown now, because I could remember that when that bear struck the market, they were trading at 7 btc, but now to have over a thousand within that short time to now.

I think that it is really a great news that their product is getting response from people and this might all be some of the things that contributed to the increase or the surge in price of bitcoin that we witnessed of recent, even though we are all trying to attach it to china president news on blockchain, but I still think that bakkt has something to do with it also.
1552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 17,800,000 BTC already mined on: November 01, 2019, 03:32:22 PM
A high percentage of bitcoins have already been extracted and an interesting question that can be asked is what will happen to the price when the total bitcoins have already been extracted? Because mining activity brings a high energy cost, we do not know the truth, but thinking about the shortage, it is very likely that its price will continue to rise to record values.
Analytically, if we look at it, we will know that bitcoin cost will actually become very expensive once the whole bitcoin has been mined, and reason being that bitcoin would have already been with the holders of it and there would not be anyone left to be mined again, which will make people who have it to be hoarding it and as they are hoarding it while request is becoming money, the value will gradually be appreciating which I think that this is how it will work then.

That was just based on assumption and based on the level of knowledge that I have about analyzing, there might still be more reason that another person have to for that believe and I am open to learning also. This is one of the basic reasons why I am trying as much as possible to hold bitcoin now.
1553  Economy / Gambling / Re: ♨️🎲 WINDICE.io 🎲 0.4 BTC Wagering Contest 🔰 Progressive Faucet💰 Jackpots 🎁❤ on: November 01, 2019, 02:12:48 PM
The prize the first winner won has a significant value. Assuming that this gambler has lost 1% of the wagering amount, he has won a big profit.
I expected much more wagering amount to be needed to win the first place. Because in the latest 3-day contest, the first winner had wagered 14 BTC. This was a 4-day contest and I expected even higher amounts.
It is really not that important because the top one is spending so much money to be the top one, rodolman has won before and he knows that if you want to beat the opponents then you need to not only gamble a lot but also you need to make sure the others are not close to you.

The difference being too close kinda means to me that others didn't really go for the top place, if rodolman wanted to we know he could make 10+ btc easily, he has done that before and he could do it again, he has that kinda cash, now he doesn't have to, nobody has to but if they want the first place that is kinda the requirement, so you either do it or you don't. If you leave it to gods at the last second then you need to accept the fact that you may not be the first one at this competition, we now have our third different winner in 5-6 competitions, good parity.
1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction on: November 01, 2019, 09:50:16 AM
In some points, smoking is not as bad as gambling but both of them are bad and they can affect anyone's lives.

If you are addicted into gambling, yep anything can be sold and be done to play the game but you can prevent it with the help of other people or relatives. You can say that cigarettes are cheap but the effects of it into our body are far worse compare to gambling addiction. Even in our country, cigarette prices doubled in the last 1-2 years I think and it can increase more in the next years which can help those who are addicted into cigarettes because they can't afford it anymore or maybe they can but they will lessen it because of lack of funds to buy.
It's actually the damage that cigarette addiction does to the victim that makes it terrible and worse than gambling because ordinarily gambling everyone would prefer cigar to gambling and to think the smoker would definitely stop smoking as soon as they finish their money but the extent of damage that's likely to done to the addicted person is unpredictable.

I really don't know why people find it hard to do things in moderation when they are not babies that are just growing, smoking cigar is a good habit, it keeps the body warm and that's the same with gambling but once it becomes an addiction it becomes a great challenge.
1555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH experiences the deepest downfall this year on: October 30, 2019, 06:29:14 PM
I am beginning to question myself if ethereum is ever going to recover, it is very easy to think it will and I still believe it will but the results have been so poor compared to what bitcoin has done during this year that I am beginning to lose hope, bitcoin is once again going up in price and while ethereum is doing the same its growth is nothing compared to what bitcoin is experiencing and this is despite all the improvements that the developers are making to ethereum.
You think that Ethereum is really bad, look into the market very well and see how other great project has really down seriously and I think that the reason why we are just keeping an eye on Ethereum is because we really see it as the largest altcoins, and the most popular altcoin in the market, but we need to know that everyone do have their own challenging time, and we may have forgotten too that there was a time that bitcoin had this challenge that people wonder if bitcoin was ever going to make any recovery, but we can see how things turned for bitcoin and its investors since early this year.

Let us just assume that this year is for bitcoin, and next year will be for the altcoins which Ethereum will surely be among the altcoins that will take a very good lead, so we should not just give up on Ethereum yet.
1556  Economy / Gambling / Re: paid on: October 29, 2019, 05:53:25 PM
Seriously, did this require a whole new topic? Plus at the wrong place? Like if it was a serious scam accusation than there was a scam accusation place, why would you open it on gambling. Leaving that aside does 7 mbtc look like a scamming amount for a huge casino?

Fortunejack is literally a huge casino that deals with thousands of dollars every single hour and you think they would care about your 7 mbtc? Sure, there could be technical problems and that's fine, you can complain about that which is your right and I would support that, there are always technical problems in any software ever but to imply that they stole your 7 mbtc is just idiotic.

There has been too many of these kinds of people all around the casino world, thinking their less than 1 btc is worth stealing and people are out to get them.
1557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Donating the Gambling profits on: October 29, 2019, 04:33:07 PM
Everyone gamble to have some fun and to make some money if it is your lucky day but donation means showering in the chat for majority Cheesy.
You are right. How showering to fellow gamblers could be a donation? I mean a donation should be given for the needy people but everyone in this world are having some need but only for the people who are unable to lead a regular life without proper facilities deserve the donations and definitely not just gambler who always need more money to continue their gambling.

Even if they lose their stake after donating, they will still feel good because they've donated that money instead of losing it Wink
That is the point of donating. You will get some soothing satisfaction which could never be achieved from any other activities. This world is still here how it should be just because of some people who are caring others. The donations must be one of the thing what they are doing often.
1558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Statement against people who say Bitcoin is a Scam on: October 29, 2019, 03:46:40 PM
Some people are just being fed at what they see in the news, and the funny thing is that many people that has been shouting if bitcoin being a scam actually has never had an experience of scam in their life, and some might not even know what the whole blockchain technology is about, which is why we think that we need to educate people more on the use of blockchain itself and how it is related to bitcoin for them to understand that bitcoin was never meant to scam people.

It is only people that took advantage of the system to create bad characters out of it in which bitcoin is not the only system that is being used to perpetuate such act, the fiat is also used for fraudulent cases too. If they want to really know what bitcoin is for and understand that it is not used for fraud, we should get regulation, then the real effect of bitcoin will be fully shown.
1559  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading with p2pb2b on: October 27, 2019, 07:03:03 PM
I created this post just to ask if there's someone who already use that site what i have mentioned above "p2pb2b" exchange.  Because previously i received a token called IOUX and it has a value worth of 65$. But unfortunately it was listed on that exchange wherein whatever i do just to sell it there is no results and it keeps floating in the pending section.    So any experience guys ? Or it's just a new exchange?
That is what you get when you are having relationship with  exchanges that are faking volume and that is how your order will remain pending if you don’t find a way to get it out provide that is not the only exchange that the said project is even listed, if that is the only exchange where they are listed, they might have even purposely done that knowing fully well that the exchange will not have the volume to make people easily dump it and I usually don’t respect projects that will leave all these top and solid exchanges to go and register with all these shit exchange that will not announce their project and like I said, I don’t even trust that project because any serious project should be able to go for a more reputable exchange, that would show that they have reputation also.
1560  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: COME HERE>> hear me out.... don't miss this on: October 27, 2019, 06:32:33 PM
I am also still waiting to see if there is going to be  a further deep or sign of keep increasing before I think of when to buy, because whatever heavy rise we have now, that is where we will start having reversal back to another dip price that it was before bakkt was released and once bitcoin recovers back to $10000, I think that it would not be very much had for it again now to break a barrier that would lead it to further increase.

I am trying not to see this current opportunity now, though I don’t think there is any opportunity I have ever missed to by dip if I have the money, and now that I have the money to invest, I hope I am able to get it right again this time around like I have been doing in the past.
