Reading through the thread I've found that no one succeeded in convincing OP that any dice strategy can't be perfect and that it will fail sooner or later. Smiley

OP, if you still think you've created a unique strategy please try to compare it with the classic martingale:

Base bet = your balance / 2 fifteen times

100% increase on lose

Return to the base bet on win


I'm sure you'll get pretty much same results with your simulations. Or you can divide your balance by 2 twenty times and you'll have less profit in the same period of time but the strategy will work longer, and so on.

Alright, the 500 perpetual eventually happened today and I took the 3d place. Smiley

Even bigfish, famous for playing very big amounts at highest stakes tables, was registered for the tournament. Hadn't a chance to play with him though, because he was sitting out all the time. Smiley Overall it was a nice game. Congrats with the 1st place, simondelf!

I've never been to a land based casino, but from what I can see from movies and documentaries the environment in there looks unsafe for me. Although I know that young women play in casinos I still think that I wouldn't go there even if it were free and close to where I live. Maybe I will change my mind in 20 years (I'm 19) but for now land based casinos are not my thing.
1284  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it too late to buy bitcoin? on: September 09, 2017, 01:17:07 PM
Now is the right time because bitcoin has a significant price drop, I do not understand what caused this fluctuation but there is a huge movement and passion from the altcoin market that makes the condition change, no need to wait until the lowest bitcoin price. You will not be late buying at current prices.

I agree that the current price is quite attractive. We may never see $4,230 again. I say that because I read many people on this forum agreed on that $5,000 per coin is a normal price these days until the end of this year. Some say bitcoin may hit $10k in 3-4 months, but I think that is an exaggeration.

guys its only me playing against bots on micro tables ... also we need 3 more for the 30+10 , 500 perpetual many sit out players, join us! Rakeback deals for these who don't have an account @btckings , link below my avatar!

I just registered for the 500 perpetual, but we still need 3 more players. Smiley It looks like you unregistered earlier.

Right now there is only two humans, walter22 and SHARK, playing with bots at micro tables. If they register, plus you again, the tournament will start. I tried to say them to register in the chat but they didn't react at first. Then walter said ok. Smiley

EDIT: we only need two more players right now.

Even the blind can see that crypto Currency is making people millionaires all  over the world just because they present the holders of such currency with the financial freedom and opportunity to accrue large amounts of wealth base on currency investment . But my question is that, is it late to buy bitcoin? Should i wait maybe bitcoin price will decline after 1st August meeting? Please i will welcome your advice so that I can make my decision on crypto currency investment.

It was definitely not too late on July 06 when OP was asking the question, but I think than it is not too late now too. I wouldn't expect big rising in price in the nearest future, but in the long term of course Bitcoin is the best investment possible. The price of it can decline only temporarily and if you will wait couple of years you will be in profit for sure. And nevertheless I would advise to invest in bitcoin only what you can afford to lose, because anything can happen and no one can see the future clearly.
1287  Economy / Economics / Re: I want to invest 1000 USD into crypto on: September 08, 2017, 12:16:40 PM
Alright, let's say I have a budget of 1000 USD and I want to invest it into cryptocurrency. Is it better to buy my own setup and mine or do cloud mining or should I buy some coins directly ? What cryptocurrency might be the best for long-term profit ? I am willing to lose that money (although I would be sad ofc) but I wanna somehow start with cryptos since I believe it has got a great future.

All form of income that you said was good it is just about the risk in taking back your investment, in mining maybe 1,000 will do but the return of investment will take same as with cloud mining, with trading some bitcoin or altcoins will take a greater risk but greater in return also.

Decide for yourself what will you want to do with your $1000 if you want a safe yet takes time or you want big profit yet risky one.

It was advised against the cloud mining earlier in this thread and I agree with that. Investing $1,000 in cloud mining you will return half of your money in 6 months in the best case scenario, but you will hardly return all your money let alone get any profit. That's how cloud mining sites work. I think most of them don't even bother to mine, creating a pyramid scheme and scamming the users.

Buying coins directly is the best option imo and of course I would choose BTC over any other crypto.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: September 08, 2017, 11:35:17 AM
I always feel satisfied when winning in gambling, by having that feeling I feel a bit of pride from myself. A little sad but I think almost all gamblers have the same feelings like me, then how about you? Do you want to share your story for us discussing in here.

When I win I have this feeling of goodness and of that everything is right and i think that's why I gamble mostly. I play dice and I know it's based on luck so the feeling is even better compared to that when you've accomplished something due to your skills and hard work. I like to feel that I'm lucky. Smiley
When I win in gambling, I feel nothing. Absolutely nothing !
Most of the time I feel like I have just wasted my time but then again I don't know where else to spend that time. I am happy for you that you enjoy your winnings but things will turn into boredom with time. Just wait and watch.

Yes, I understand what you are saying and most likely you are right. My overall gambling experience is around two years, and I don't gamble every day, it's more like couple of times per week. Maybe that's why it is still fun for me. But, on the other hand, maybe it will always be fun because, as I said, I don't gamble much. Maybe because of that it will never turn into boredom for me.
1289  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: September 07, 2017, 06:43:45 PM
You guys are funny. No one can see your cards and you can't show them to other players either even if you wanted to. And if SHARK could see your cards I guarantee you he would not advertise that.
But he can't. No one can. Even we can't see your cards until the hand is finished. There's an option to show your cards on fold, when there are only 2 players left. But that's it. You can hide your cards by clicking on them, but that is just in case someone walks behind your back and you don't want them looking at your cards. It does not show the cards to the opponent.

LOL!  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

I may drop by tomorrow for a game.
Why tomorrow game you should try now because if you are doing try now then you will have a success if you are going for tomorrow then you might lose.

oh I would, I have people coming over

tomorrow Smiley

Alright, let's register tomorrow for the for the 500 PERPETUAL, the more people the better. For now I have unregistered because I don't want the tournament starts and I'm sitting out.

I can see that SHARK is sitting right now at the Josephine table with the stakes 50/100, but I'm afraid to play with him, those are big stakes for me. Smiley

In dice the only thing that matters is luck. No amount of grinding or any trick strategies will work because of one thing - it is based on luck and not skill. If people think they can rig the casino then thats another thing and its illegal. Otherwise be happy with what you have because if you get involved in the vicious cycle of chasing losses in a casino soon all you money will be lost.

Yes, I know that dice game is based purely on luck. Gamblers invent different strategies and even share them with others when they think the strategies work, but all those strategies work only for some time and for some people they don't work at all. Nevertheless I like the feeling when I win in a dice game. I know that was not because of my skills or because of a great strategy I invented, but feeling that you were lucky is still a good one.
1291  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: September 06, 2017, 01:42:27 PM
Few human players were seen on the site today. Bigfish and joyjoy were playing big stakes as always, and couple of others beating bots at low stakes.

Only three people are registered for the 500 PERPETUAL at the moment: me, Isha and here4trades. I hope more people will join and we'll play that tournament. C'mon, guys, register, it's only 40 sats, let's play poker! Smiley
1292  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why buy WAVES? on: September 06, 2017, 11:52:48 AM
guys who know, what are the upcoming updates expected by the waves? Is there any point in buying now?
I don't know why you are going after WAVES. If you really want to invest in an altcoin, ETH is the best option. However, I personally recommend bitcoins. It gives highest profits in short span of time if compared with other crypto currencies. You don't need to invest in order to earn BTCs. You can join signature campaigns.

LoL I'm sorry but this is bullshit. Altcoins like Waves or coins with a smaller marketcap, can give waaaaaaay more profit. I can see Waves go to 15-20 USD this year, maybe even more. That means your investment can triple easily. I more than tripled my investment in MSP and CVC in a couple of weeks.

Tripling your investment in Bitcoin would mean that BTC would need to reach $15.000 this year. And thats never going to happen.

Is BTC more safe to invest in? Probably yes, but that's a different discussion. You claim BTC will deliver the highest profits, and that is very much untrue.

I agree that $15,000 for BTC in this year is something which is unlikely to happen, but as you said yourself investing in bitcoin is more safe than investing in other altcoins. However, I think WAVES is an exception. Investing in WAVES right now is also pretty safe because with wider usage of the wavesplatform, which is happening more and more, the price of it will surely rise in the future.

1294  Other / Off-topic / Re: Young people should go all in on bitcoin on: September 05, 2017, 12:56:55 PM
I believe that bitcoin provides an excellent opportunity for young people to earn money to secure their future. You only need to buy coins and wait until the price well grows. It does not distract from study and will allow you to make a profit.

But you have to have spare money for the buying, right? I for one never have spare money. What I can do, however, is to earn bitcoin and I do all I can to succeed in that. In other words I invest my spare time in earning bitcoin, almost all my spare time, to be exact. I am young and in that regard I agree with OP, young people should go all in on bitcoin, this is what the best for them to do these days.
1295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: September 05, 2017, 12:38:32 PM
Why not? As long as we don't use all our profit to continue to hunt our luck that shouldn't hurt us at the end. Playing with profit money will give us a nothing to lose feeling and it is good.

As far as I know you have the nothing to lose feeling when you really have nothing to lose. This is not the case when you have some profit. If you continue to play then you can lose your profit and I doubt that that would be a good feeling.
1296  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: September 05, 2017, 11:55:15 AM
hi  support I been playing with SHARK and he claims he is able to see my whole cards.  Whats going on ?

You can click on your cards to expose them to the table ---> be careful where you click.  There's also a feature in <Options> <Table Settings> that if checked exposes your cards <Deal Cards Face Down> be careful there too.  You'll figure out all the features in due time; until then --> play small.

Can you join my table and see if my cards are exposed ? I can't check that myself and I have never changed any default setting. here4trades can't as he told me on the table but who knows can you verify please?


ok I it looks  he wasn't able to see my cards at all.

I think that's right, betudontbet, because I was playing at the same table with you at least several times and I never saw your cards.

SHARK is extremely aggressive and also a pretty lucky player.  Sometimes it looks like he can either see your cards or predict the next card on the table, or both.  Smiley
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you care? on: September 04, 2017, 12:12:26 PM
I have a curiosity...

In a month on this website all that i saw are gambling discussion, idiot scam accusations and so on...

This topic is about how fair are the casinos...Why do you care? If the fair system is ok or so on...you will lose money legally same shit..

If a casino is fair with what is helping you? When you go to a casino and play on slots you will ask the girls if the bet you did is fair?

That's true that even with zero house edge and full fairness of a casino you still can lose money there. However, we all know that that there are two types of online casinos: those who scam people and those who are fair. I prefer to choose the latter ones to play on, because I don't want to be scammed, I want to have a chance to win. Although I know that the chances to win are small, I want to try my luck, and in scam casinos your chances to withdraw the win are close to zero.
1298  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: September 04, 2017, 11:37:09 AM
For me bitcoin does not reduce unemployment because there is no employee-employer relationship that take place rather bitcoin helps does unemployed people to earn income even without permanent job and while at home while waiting for job opportunities.

Earning money online could be considered a job, don't you think? If an unemployed person works for bitcoin and makes around the amount they could earn with a daily job then they no longer an unemployed person. Some signature campaigns pay to hero members and higher more than an Average Monthly Wages in my country. I'm not a hero member yet and also I have to learn more about cryptocurrencies to be accepted in high paid campaigns, but I know that it is possible.
- Yes, Bitcoin reduce unemployment, especially in reducing unemployment in young people, they are people who work regularly on the computer and looking for work on the internet, they know and have a job with bitcoin is also not strange. However, this is only a very small part because I also introduced my friends to work with bitcoin but most of them did not have enough patience and gave up, wanting to succeed with bitcoink is not a simple thing

Everything begins with a small part of society who participates in it. If bitcoin reduces unemployment at least in some cases then it has a good potential to reduce it much more in the future in the whole world. We have to spread the word because there are many people who need this but they just don't know.
1299  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: September 04, 2017, 11:17:02 AM
We can't enforce minimum/maximum deposit because of the nature of bitcoin payments. We will adjust our FAQ accordingly. Minimum cashout remains 5,000 though, because of the associated miners' fees. 

You guys will be able to cash-in your bonus points down the road. Just give us time, it will take the IT guy about 10 hours to implement it and test it and he is not cheap.

One last thing, as per recommendation by a player PERPETUAL tournaments 500 and 300 are back. Everything's the same except now there's a buy-in of 30+10 for 500 GTD and 20+10 for 300 GTD. Still a big overlay. Good luck all!

Indeed, got no issues waiting I thought there was an expense everytime we asked for something but didn't know it was not cheap.
Glad to know these are back I need to build up my bankroll again, haven't played much lately.

Hi, Here4Trades! Register now for the for 500 GTD. There are 7 players registered. Even bigfish, known for playing huge stakes is registered for the tournament.

While I'm waiting for another 3 players to register I guess I can try play ring games. Hope I'll be lucky. Smiley

Why would any casino offer a 50/50 game without taking a piece of the pie?

Even when players are playing against eachother, the casino wants to make some money for hosting the game right?

That's right, they take at least 1% of your win. Also I see no point in searching for gambling sites offering coinflipping. Like one poster said above any casino which lets you make a 50% chance bet is the same as coinflipping.
