1481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Three Indians arrested over illegal betting in ZACS on: February 15, 2021, 04:05:00 AM
The interesting news here isn't that they're committing an offence - it's the fact that sportsbooks don't have risk mitigation strategies in place to prevent these things?

It's 2021, goddammit. Surely they can price in a margin of error in their odds or alternative sources for scores that report back in real-time for live bets.

I remember this happening a good two decades ago. To have this happen now is simply inexcusable.

Although these guys were caught, I strongly suspect that this may not be the first time that they are engaging in this sort of fraud. But it shows the incompetence of the sportsbooks as well. Before the pandemic, fans were allowed in to the stands legally. Back then, these guys could have made their bets in a perfectly legal manner, and made huge amount of money in profits. If the sportsbooks were unaware of the lag between live match and cricket coverage, then they don't deserve to be in the business.

It is good that the government started to look in the big picture of arresting anybody that having illegal businesses in gambling. Many people always look in tge picture of gambling will always be illegal and bad for people. These three Indian might not be newbie in their field because as we all know they might be only one of those who have known fraud in gambling. And I guess they always be having some thought of doing it at first and end up doing it. And I agree to the idea that these Indians once playing legal manners yet because of greed, they started to do some illegal manners. And I think theg deserve to be caught.
1482  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: February 14, 2021, 09:02:00 AM
Manny Pacquiao is favourite for me to win this fight, judging from his impressive statistics. Though Terence has an undefeated run with 37 wins and no losses, i believe he is no match for Manny coming into this fight with an impressive 62 wins and 7 losses.

For me, it always depends on the boxer physical condition that time because we always know that even though a boxer or even player had an amazing record, if his/her physical isn't good that time, it'll make him/her in a negative situation. But ofcourse, I will be betting in Manny Pacquiao not just because he is my kababayan but of course, I saw a lot of Pacquiao's game and I am definitely believe that every game he been throuhgh, he always have some progress in match. Eventhough as thr year passed by, and Pacquiao's age are increasing, i believe that he's body will get into shape everytime he will get into the ring. This match will be a good one. I guess this will also one of Pacquiao's favorite game in the future.

Basically, the more often people bet, the greater the chance of winning and also the increase in the number of losse. Someone who would be said to be a professional gambler is someone who relies heavily on his skill and expertise in gambling, has a mental and style. But all of that will still depend on luck. I just assume that all gambler who are able to control their emotion and manage their finance in gambling will be called professional gambler.

If we are talking specifically about gambling and not about gambling where there is an element of skill, then the picture is exactly the opposite. It is quite easy to win at a distance of 10 bets, at a distance of 100 bets it is more difficult, at a distance of 1000+ bets it is almost unrealistic. The larger the number of bets, the closer to theoretical results (and the casino always wins on them).

Bet will always be depends on the person decision for me. It is gambler who is responsible for his winnings. We all know that gambling has always a 50/50 chance of winnings. And people oftenly always believe that it will always depends on strategy but definitely itis because of the persons greed and how to control emotions. Gambling is one of the best thing that happens in this days. And gamnling is considered as one of the good investment today, because it can give you a quite good earnings and also because of the good coins that pumping today. I can see some opporunity in gambling as well as others.
1484  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If BTC were to permanently freeze at one price , would you buy ? on: February 13, 2021, 09:13:37 PM
So let's say BTC was to be absolutely frozen from here on at todays price ,would you still buy?

I don't think BTC was intended as the speculation tool it has turned into .

Who on here regularly makes purchases using BTC ? 

Personally, I would not buy BTC if its price were fixed forever. The reason is that I personally use BTC as a short-term earning opportunity. As for the question, why was BTC created, then it is impossible to say for sure, since its true purpose has not yet been determined and there are many different statements on this reason. As for whether it is possible to use BTC now to buy goods or services, it is likely that it is possible and there are people who are ready to sell a house, car and other things for BTC, but of course this is on a small scale, but perhaps in the future everything may change.

If this is going to be happen I think BTC will not be entertain as what it was tofay because we all know and be honest that one of the main reason why BTC is mined and trade now is because of it's unstable value. The reason of this volatile type value is that people can make some strategy in order to gain some profit by just a simple idea of buy low and sell high. Many people will definitely have an interest in BTC because of this simple idea, so I think if it will be freeze forever in a particular price, the market of bitcoin might drop and will be normal to all of people just like the fiat or physical money.
1485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin before and now on: February 13, 2021, 04:48:02 PM
The most notorious difference from the bitcoin bull run from 2017 to the current one is the Global pandemic that forces us to reinvent and value the resources we have to be able to face the economic situation and prepare for the future.

So we have turned to Bitcoin and not ICOs.
We decided to HODL and accumulate, if we realize the trading has not been the one to dominate.
Institutions have more participation in the purchase of bitcoin than consumers resulting in volatility decreasing.
Institution got more power during this pandemic , they can accumulate more and they can manipulate the market even more so I think it is better if we take this chance, we can follow the trend if the market says we need to sell then sell it, 2017 is phenomenal I can't forget my first bitcoin that year , this 2020 I did not get the chance to have 1btc so I am little sad but there are still months ahead for me to have 1 btc again no matter even the price of bitcoin dumps.

Bitcoin today is a very big deal idea of coin because we all know its capability and of course the value of it. I started bitcoin wayback in 2017. I remembered my first payment here in the forum back in 2017. The value of bitcoin that day is not that so high in value of what it is today. And in that time I am so happy whenever I get my payment because I can use it in my everyday needs and things I want to buy. And in that time my money was doubled because I experienced the all time high that time. But in today's bitcoin, I didn't actually take the opportunity to earn good and big because I didn't able to save up a little. And I'm regretful of that.
1486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: February 13, 2021, 10:12:31 AM
Happy Friday, gamblers Smiley

Some time ago, last October, I asked you if BTC price increase has affected your gameplay somehow. Back then, it wasn't a problem for most of the users who replied.

Well, today the BTC price is almost $50K. I was just wondering, how are things now.
Are you still playing with Bitcoin, or have you switched to another coin due to a rise?

Thanks,
Karl from Bitcasino

For me it is the same.I am very happy with the bitcoin price increase as this means I can play many more spins in my preferred slot machines which means effectively increasing my chances to win due to a longer gameplay session.However a certain impact is there when I start losing I immediately quit and withdraw my bitcoin as there is more value to it compared to what it was back in October.

Actually at first was also my idea about the idea of bitcoin increasing but I think it is not because not all Gambling sites, casino or any site are BTC based so if the price of BTC increase I think some of casinos may increase also the fees per game or somehow. But in the other hand its true that if BTC value increases you can do a lot more bets than the usual. Also, I can say that this market bull thing is a great timing to save up while playing because we must not give all the thing or all the amount we have just because the market rises. Gambling is very exciting and at the same time risky, control your greed always.
1487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: February 13, 2021, 03:38:04 AM
Knowing the sports and the teams you are betting on will give you an edge on sports betting. It can give you hints and better judgment on who's team has an edge over the other. Increasing your winning chance. If you know your team very well it is an advantage, betting on sports that you are not aware of is like putting your money in a blind bet.

Knowledge about betting is a very required attitude because you won't able to get too far if you didn't know about it. Basic knowledge and one of the things that may actually put you in the edge of winning is knowing your team. This may help you in order to measure rhe capability of winning of your team, and you must also have some background in the other team they're competing on because it also may help you to measure the chances of winning and losing of both teams. I always bet in NBA because I have know a lot if players, they play skills, mentality and like shooting. So that I able to have an advantage and I won most of the time.
1488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we get another golden oppurtunity to buy? on: February 11, 2021, 07:07:11 PM
Like many bitcoiners im one of the people who didnt bought bitcoin at 6000$ or even 15k or 20k$ and i wonder if its possible to see bitcoin in at least 20k again
If no should i buy now or wait more to get lower price ?

If the Bitcoin 4-year cycle of Bob Loukas is really spot on, then there is a possibility that we can still have another golden opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a very low price.  According to this 4-year cycle, this year would be the last year of the cycle wherein Bitcoin will reach its peak. Then possibly the bear season will follow next year.  If the 4-year cycle is really true, then possibly we can get another opportunity in the latter part of 2022 - 2024 to buy bitcoin at a low price in reference to its ATH. 

Wow. This is a good explanation and observation. I think you have a point there. And I also think that we will gonna have our opportunity to buy bitcoin at a lowest price. But who knows when? Because as we all know bitcoin reaches its peak right now and I think we may not be able to determine when will this hype is going to happen. We might know or read some charts in the marketplace yet we cannot say the exact date and time. And I think one of the big factor of bitcoin value is because of its popularity, many people are knew about it and increasingly as day passed by. I think bitcoin might be go low but not too low.
1489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My email and phone have been hacked, is my bitcoin safe? on: February 11, 2021, 04:39:01 PM
As long as seed prhase is safe then hackers will not be able to try to take your assets. To be sure, change your email immediately and also change your wallet. Even if he can't figure out seed prhase they could try even deeper looking for your data. It's very dangerous.

As long as your phone  is secured, backed up and no reason to be open. It is actually safe and sound. But in that case you must urgently contact your cellphone provider in order for them to remove the whole data of the cellphone and also to block the cellphone permanently. In my country, I personally experienced to lost my phone yet I don't have any something valuable or information that is confidential still I did what I need to do for my phone in order to avoid future problems regarding about the phone. And next time, be sure to keep backups and have some double security and identification for your phone so that if it will lost again, you are proudly know how to handle every situation.
1490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: February 11, 2021, 09:13:46 AM
I wonder if there's a gambling/betting analyst job, and google directed me to this link:
https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/sports-betting-analyst-jobs-SRCH_KO0,22.htm
most of them for sports betting analyst.
I also found this https://www.betting-analyst.com/
Some are just predictions subscription, but there's also a data analyst to collect data from user's behaviors on their platform.
why gambling/betting analysis is a fraud because they are not a gambler for sure, most of them only sell consulting services instead of providing input based on personal experience.  There has been an incident around my city where a gambling/betting analyst was arrested by the police for misleading customers and making many of his customers lose. 

gambling with your own experience and knowledge is still the best even though losing at least it is the result of your own decision and not the result of others.



Actually it depends on the person or the analyst. Would you get a personal analyst that you didn't know and doesn't have any reputation or some feedbacks from others? No right? The person is also responsible to whom he will choose to. I think not all of them are fraud, but I believe some of them exist. I don't think any people would risk into someone without making some research in backgrounds. But I also believe that in gambling, the best profit and earning is experience. You will know that you learn if you experienced to lose and to have some ups and downs in your life as a gambler. Be sure to be responsible in you acts, bets and money.
1491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: February 11, 2021, 04:14:03 AM
My suggestion is, who will win in the all star, East or West? and who will be the MVP?
I think this is good, at least it will give some idea which team we will bet this coming all star.

First, we need to wait if there's an All-Star game. Less than a month now before the preferred date but still with no good progress.

Some of the NBA superstars didn't like the idea of having an All-Star. Even it will be push, others might not participate as it isn't breaking the rules in the first place.

I guess you are right, there's no announcement yet from the league whether there's an all star this month but the all star voting was already open.

Or probably because of this ? Did the NBA All-Star Game Just Get Blocked by James?

I saw it from the social media that he's not excited with the upcoming all star game.

Knowing him the impact to the entire league might really affects those other stars who also closed to him, with the current situation
where fans are limited and the economic status of each people around the world, it's tough to say that this event will still bring good
amount of money to the organization.

I think this is one of the most memorable all star that will be held not just because it is pandemic but because the league is definitely rumbled all over. Hahaha. The other players are in the other teams right now, the other all start teams are broken while other are born. The roster for Team West and Team East is definitely changed. But of course, it is also memorable because it is sad to peform or held this All star game because not all of players might participate due to some reasons. Others might give their spot to other. I still hope to see them playing im allstart because that is tradition and one of the reason why many people watching NBA. And I guess a lot of people already waiting for it.
1492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lost phone with bitcoin wallet on: February 10, 2021, 11:34:09 PM
Sorry OP but there's no way that you can retrieve it back. You've just said that you've lost the phone and never did a back up for your wallet. If you've just backed up the wallet before and even you lost that phone years ago, you will still be able to get your bitcoins back but it's not.

The important lesson which has been always being reminded by everyone here to the newbies, always create a back up for your wallet. Just in case of situation like this comes, you can have a deep breath and release and everything's gonna be fine. It's not a rare case to hear someone lost their wallets without backing it up years ago.

Yes. I agree. This kind of incident is very unfortunate and anyone did not want it to happen. You might retrieve the wallwt since it's digital by using some backup passwords or private key and seed phrase. And you can contact your phone provider in order for them to reset the phone so that the person who's gonna have it don't have any access on your things on the phone and I know that the phone itself will no ise for them. I'm sorry for your loss. It is not a joke that kind amount of money next time be sure to handle thinga very properly and don't just focus on profiting but also in securing your wallet and funds.

Soon you can pay for your new Tesla car with your Bitcoin  Wink

Imagine there's this new tech where charging electric cars and bitcoin mining can be connected somehow to make it more efficient I say  Huh May sound crazy but possible?

I think this collaboration of the new 2 things that have been progressive over the past few years is one of the best and unbelievable things because as we all know, Elon Musk tell the whole world tha he is up to open about the BTC idea. And so that later this week he moved a tremble action that tooks the whole market noisy. He buy bitcoin in order to make a Tesla coin profitable. I think this was only a start of a new something the Elon are up to. I believe that there are something more Elon Musk are preparing not only for his company but for the whole cryptocurrency world. Who knows, the idea of buying tesl using bitcoin might be a big deal in the next few days.
1494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: lets imagine world without fiat currency on: February 10, 2021, 02:55:53 PM
(....)
 But if bitcoin was used in all of the transactions, then probably it will become the same as fiat, its volatility will not exist and it will just have a stable value.
(....)
Speaking of value when we comparing Bitcoin and fiat now, I don't think so that the value of Bitcoin will be the same as fiat. Because I believe, fiat is centralized, the government can decide anytime if they want to print for money. But in Bitcoin? They are totally different, that's why as time goes by, Bitcoin is becoming more asset than using it for payment just like our fiat now.
Of Course btc won't have the same value with the fiat for the near future. As you can see, BTC evolves every minute, every hour, everyday, and every year. Its timeline from the day it is stablished up to now will be the evidence of its dominance. Soon, it will be accepted worldwide as a digital currency even though we know that there are some countries that restricts BTC.

I think BTC will probably not invented because the main reason why BTC have value I think is thay because of the fiat value currency. Bitcoin is just a strand of fiat but in digital mode and it is very independent because it is volatile, unstable and not regulated by anyone. Based on my understanding. And I believe that if the world doesn't have any fiat, there is no progress and some big income for everyone. Goverment are controlling the fiat production and the economy is the one who controlling its value. This fiat money is one of the most important aspect in life in all over the world and because as I see, many people are making fiat as their daily needs.

What sort of leave them in suspense type of post is this? Saying you bet 5 BTC on a coin flip and then not saying the outcome seems like a troll move. Even if you’re making it up, we want to hear the rest of the story. Bonus points for outrageousness or evidence.

It is the type of post where people that do not understand memes get rekt.

The guy standing alone in the corner, watching others having fun and thinking about his crazy high bet on coin flip hahaha!

I joined your betting group, I will try to "catch" some good picks... I just scrolled through and I saw winning picks from previous days, and off course more similar memes like this one in the opening post!

By the way, I like memes, and this is a good one! I think some of us felt like this guy more than once in the last +5 years!  Smiley

Woah. Is this for real? It this for freaking real that he just bet 5BTC in just a flip coin? I am shocked when I read about this thread. And I believe that this 5btc isn't just a joke and small amount of money but it is freaking huge amount of money. OMG. I don't know what will I do if I able to lose this kind amount of money. You can make a lot of stuff in that amount anr you can do whatever you want to be honest. I also didn't have a chance to have that kind of amount of money so that's why I am shocked. But I do believe and know what are the risk in gambling. Moreover in flip coin. I never thought that it was actually a thing or a bet that made out because of a large amount. In just a seconds of flip, you lose instant and the other one won an instant. Anyways, be careful next time and this might be a lesson for everyone that gambling isn't a joke.

The only way to become a millionaire overnight is to win the lottery in this hope people have been winning the lottery since that era many have opened their fortunes won billions of rupees in the lottery again the fate of many is bad it will depend entirely on fate. The Toronto women who won the jackpot lottery usually depended on their fate they also had their patience and great intelligence in picking lottery numbers which is why they were rewarded for winning the lottery.

Yes. I believe that you can be a millionaire a night by just winning in lottery in an instant. But I think that is only one of the reason because in gambling eventhough it has a big risk, in just a good and very positive luck you can win and just hit a million profit. But I believe and I am amazed by this Toronto Girl that won. I wished I somehow share thw same luck. And I also believe that you must be very patience, determine and put some kind of intelligence in gambling so that you'll not able to lose a lot higher that what you earn. And also believe in your numbers. Think positively.

A guy by telegram gave me proof hours before the coin that was going to be pumped, which was VIB, which was the admin of BIG PUMP SIGNAL, and I paid him 0.20 btc for the information, and today he has blocked me.


I only have his Btc wallet number and his telegram nothing else.

can I do something reporting it to the police?

Will binance help me identify that person after I have sent the money?

thanks

I've been here in this same telegram group as yours. I didn't know that the group isn't a legit one. Or you've been chatted by a random person? Because I think that group was created a long time ago right? Anyways. In that situation I think you must report it to the Binance and I think report also the group in order for you to help others to avoid being scammed. We all know that this kind of action isn't a good one and a bad behaviour. Just because of the BTC value many people are becoming greedy and I think that isn't gonna help them as well as people around them to earn positively. That ain't good and karma will be back at them. Sorry for your loss but be careful next time. I will also leave to that group. Thank you for the warning.
1498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I messed up and feel terrible about it on: February 09, 2021, 04:58:38 PM
Umm, you did not messed up. You just sold your BTC at the time you decided is the right time to sell your Bitcoin. You should be well aware that nobody knows the future. You will never know if Bitcoin will come 40,000 dollars tomorrow or in 5 years. Just because it went up so quickly and you are not there to enjoy the profits does not mean you have messed up your investment. If you profited when you sold the BTC that would be it. Someone bought your BTC at a very high price and might be the next one that will hold the coins until the coin goes to 100,000 dollars or near it. Be grateful that fate gave you a chance to sell your Bitcoins and got something out of it.

BTC is a volatile type of coin. The value of it can change time by time. And I agree that we didn't know what will happen to itd value from time to time. Trades might predict and some of the pump signals activity yet we do not know the actually 100% happen of it. It is okay that you think that you sold your bitcoin for low price because in that time you have a high profit to take and for you, you have a win win kind of effect. And you also used that money in the long time ago right? Actually you do not lose. You won in that time, and in this time it is just a matter of changes that btc value become high. And I also experienced same situation because I sold my bitcoin last 2017 and happens to regret later on. But I realized that I gain profit.
1499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do casino awards matter? on: February 09, 2021, 03:15:54 PM
Hmm not really. I've never really noticed whether casinos have received awards, and do cryptocasinos even have any rewards for that matter? I've barely noticed them and most of the time, I'm more opted to look at the legal matters of the casino just to make sure it's legit and that It isn't illegal for me to access it in my country. Besides rather than awards, user feedback is much more important imo, since it details almost everything that the site has to offer. Casino awards can be both vague and specific at times after all, and an award isn't necessarily enough to prove that a casino is good or not.

Actually it is true. As based on my experience I usually don't see any casino awards. All I see is some loyalty membership fees and sometimes loyalty seat, no jokes. But I think this kind of idea is definitely one of a good idea because we all know that there are many people now that considering gambling in order to earn or gain positive profit or earnings, and also because of our current situation, the pandemic. This kind of rewards are also can be the thing to determine the credibility of the gambler and also to vouch it for some transactions that might happen in the future. Casino awards would also give them some benefits, discounts and I think also some privilege's.

240$ for a single bet? or maybe he really has a Friend in Luck ? i have a gambling friend that likes betting one time per gambling time.
all his budget for the certain day will be bet one time , and if He lose? then He'll go home .

You hear mostly about the lucky winners.. those who lose their money are very unlikely to tell about their losses to anyone. I know a friend who lost 1 BTC in a single bet many years back (when the exchange rate of Bitcoin was around $250). He went for the 1.01x bet, which has a 99% chance of winning. But his luck was really bad at that time, and he lost the bet. 1 BTC gone, in a matter of hours. I am pretty sure that he may be regretting about that loss, especially with Bitcoin exchange rates zooming towards the $50K level.

In gambling it is not always win. Sometimes you will experience to get lose and sometimes just in the middle. I also personally exprience loosing in gambling. When I was just starting to play bitcoin games, I used to play dice game in bitsler. I used to gamble all the money I have. I play all day until I have nothing left. And one day I realize that I might not be good in gambling and I need to have some other things to do in order for my money to earn profit. I tried to play other gambling games and I read some things in order to have good and positive earnings. I went here in campaigns and forum, I tried trading and I also have stocks. And the I realized that failures isn't gonna define you a whole. You will lose but you will bounce back again to earn good.
