At least they are honest about being a scam:

Found this little gem in their FAQ


Stay away from this and all other HYIP stuff promising ridiculous returns of X%+ per day... they're all Ponzi scams and will take your BTC and run at some point...

It'll be more a case of the sender of the funds being under suspicion than the receiver. If Paypal suspect that the funds were sent from a stolen card or a hacked account or something, if they make them pending, you can't then use them to buy goods/services etc. so if it turns out they were from a fraudulent source, they only need to reverse one transaction... which unfortunately, is the one into your account. It keeps things nice and simple.

Imagine if person A received $1000 from a stolen credit card payment... then they bough 5 things from 5 different people... and they then spent the money on 2 things each... and one of those people spent the money on something... it would be a total mess to try and "fix" if Paypal discovered that this $1000 was stolen and got charged back.

So they leave it "pending" for 30 days, to see if any complaints are made before releasing the funds... the simple solution is only deal with trustworthy people who aren't running scams or stealing money etc

So just to clarify, you want a way to be able to receive payments from ALL types of payment services like Paypal, credit card, Bank transfer AND Bitcoin... and you want to be able to collect all of these funds into one account... and you want all of these to happen automagically?

About the only thing I could think of would be an exchange type service that lets you deposit funds via Paypal or Credit card or whatever... however, storing money on exchanges is fraught with danger (see: Mt Gox, Cryptsy, Bitfinex etc)... also, I'm not sure that Paypal is a valid option, as I often see people complaining that Paypal like to freeze accounts that are linked to BTC.

Also, micropayments may be problematic... most providers that operate with fiat (ie. everything but Bitcoin) have transaction fees that will easily gobble up micropayments... 

Any gambling that is based on an element of chance, and especially ones where you have to contend with "house edge" will never be scriptable. Maths just does not work that way.

The best system you can use, is one that will enable you to minimise your losses, especially if you intend on playing over a longer term... because the longer you play, the more the maths and probabilities work against you and your bankroll

Seems like a very interesting concept that would have been really useful to me about a year ago when i was working overseas and struggling with ridiculous bank charges to shift my money back to my home country.

Local Bank: USD$10-20 to send... middleman Bank: USD$20-25 because #weCanTakeYourMoney... Home Bank: USD$10-15 to receive and shitty exchange rates

In the end I found a decent little online money transfer outfit that happened to be headquartered in my home country that had tiny fees and good exchange rates. Your service looks like it could have saved me around USd$20-30/month easily...

It is crypto-games.net's 2nd Birthday this weekend. They are intending on having a "no house edge" promotion on dice running at some point... plus I think they may be doing other giveaways and stuff for chat and/or playing the various games.

Maybe go check it out and see if anything there is what you're looking for?

I think I would have to agree with you on this. Reading through the neg trust, and the thread where he was trying to sell his account, he claimed that he had already started a new account... so I guess he settled on a new name already and has either not used any of the suggestions here, or he has and has decided not to give out the money he said he would... 

Feeling confident after my latest lot of Champions League picks... so I'll take a stab at the EPL:

• ManU v. Southampton
• Stoke v. ManCity
• Burnley v. Liverpool
• Swansea v. Hull
• Tottenham Hotspur v. Crystal Palace
• WBA v. Everton - Draw No Bet
• Watford v. Chelsea
• Leicester v. Arsenal - Draw No Bet
• Sunderland - Draw No Bet v. Middlesborough
• West Ham v. Bournemouth

Couple of "even" match ups this week... Everton should win, but they sometimes struggle on the road... Despite their first up loss, Arsenal are still a quality team, and should beat Leicester, but Leicester will be looking to get their season back on track after their first round loss as well, I think DNB is a good option here. Sunderland and Middlesborough is also fairly easy, I'd take Sunderland DNB just because #homeGroundAdvantage.

I'm hoping for around 7 or 8 out of 10 this week... fingers crossed

Just a note to say that it appears I have upgraded to member rank. Sig has been updated in preparation for next week.

Cheers,
HCP

Ok... so I did quite well this time around... just the one loss, a push and 3 wins... I'm getting better and being a bit smarter with my picks... that DNB on Porto v Roma saved me from a really poor result... Will be interesting to see how the reverse games go next week.

Oooo Champions League action... After last round you'd think I would have learned my lesson

Time for HCP's wild and crazy picks 

• Celtic v. H. Be'er Sheva
• Ludogorets v Viktoria Plzen (Would seriously consider DNB option here)
• Villarreal v Monaco
• Porto v Roma (Again, DNB would be a smart move here)
• Dundalk v Legia Warsaw

Actually, DNBs could be a decent option for all the games if you can get "good" odds for it... a lot of these match ups look relatively even... And you might find the Away teams will be happy with a 1-1 draw to try and take an "Away Goals" advantage into Game 2. Good Luck guys!

Looks like you're still doing exceptionally well and maintaining a great record... just a bummer that I'm slightly out of sync timewise and don't seem to get enough time between seeing your tips and being able to place bets :-/

Oh well... I'll keep trying and hopefully get my timings sorted out Thanks for the solid tips mate.

Yeah, I'm slowly getting into the groove now that the EPL has started... BTTS for Arsenal/Liverpool would have worked, but I actually took Liverpool on a Double Chance Away/Draw @1.84... I should have take Liverpool ML @ 3.04!! Nevermind, a win is still a win! #YNWA

Now, we just have one game remaining: Chelsea v West Ham - Chelsea ML

I still think Chelsea should win this one fairly comfortably, they'll be looking for a good show, at home, to get their challenge for the title underway... West Ham are a solid team, but Chelsea at home should be too strong. The ML odds aren't great at the moment (around 1.5)... but I think overs/unders is a bit difficult on this one and I'm not super confident West Ham will even score... so Chelsea ML is my pick (and I got it locked in at 1.88 )

Seems to me like you'd want to go first... because at most, you get 3 attempts... and by going first there is always a chance you don't die on each one of your attempts, whereas by starting 2nd, you end up at 100% chance of death on your 3rd try... plus your odds are technically better for each one of your attempts if you are 1st...

1st attempt: Player A 1/6 die, Player B 2/6 die
2nd attempt: Player A 3/6 die, Player B 4/6 die
3rd attempt: Player A 5/6 die, Player B 6/6 die

Although, I'm not exactly sure that is a mathematically sound explanation... perhaps it is more of a "gut instinct" answer??

By tight do you mean "Parking the bus"??

Although, in this case, I suspect Bournemouth are most likely to be playing deep and trying to attack on the counter... They won't want to lose their first home game and will play it very tight and try to catch ManU on the break... It probably won't work and I would expect ManU to end up with most possession and most goals.

Mycelium seems to be the #1 choice for Android at the moment... I even tried the Electrum Android app, but it has a few wierd little quirks and glitches that lead me to believe that it wasn't really designed for Android, but was simply ported and an a UI stuck on top. There are weird graphical glitches when selecting dropdown boxes etc.

I heard/read that Mycelium are supposed to be releasing a new version at some point in the (hopefully not too distant) future... So maybe we will see some improvements then. If I magically find some time and motivation, I was thinking about downloading the current Mycelium source and fixing a couple of things that bug me about it (no manual setting of fees, it doesn't lock the app and required PIN if it gets backgrounded etc.)

The reason it continues, is that the sites do actually pay for a little amount of time... using the money they receive from new investors to pay the old ones (typical Ponzi style)...

So people start small and invest a small amount (like 0.01btc) and "magically" they get paid, because the scammers can cover that easily... so the investor starts thinking "wow, this is legit! ez moneyz!!?!" and then they invest a MASSIVE amount (like 1BTC)... at which point, they get scammed.

TLDR; humans are greedy and there is a sucker born every minute.

Definitely go for chopcoin.io

It is really easy to learn, difficult to master... and supremely addictive With the added bonus of being able to win bitcoins! The best part is that it isn't super critical that your internet connection is super fast or anything... and you don't need a high end computer to be able to play.

So are you going to post your betslips here? and how to prove that you don't hide a bet? will you show your entire history or something?

Anyway, best of luck... and I hope you provide your tips here so others can follow along your journey... or maybe offer advice if they see you taking a silly bet

#1 position after 1 round of games in the Premier League (and in fact, any competition) means pretty much nothing. The full season is 38 weeks long... it is the position after 38 weeks that really matters!

I'm really looking forward to the Arsenal v Liverpool match up... That could be a very good game. I would like Liverpool to win because I'm a LFC supporter... but I honestly don't know. I think Both Teams To Score (BTTS) could be a good option for this game...
