1801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESPORTS - predictions and tips (Dota 2, CS:GO, LoL) on: March 11, 2021, 04:50:02 AM
Good day for my #Dota2 boys  Cool 3/3

✅High Coast Esports vs VP.Prodigy: High Coast Esports ML
✅Team Spirit vs Brame: Team Spirit ML
✅Dota Team vs Unique: Dota Team ML

4.10 total odds
That odds is a little unattractive in my opinion, are they new teams that has popped up because I don't have any updates on who is currently the teams playing in DOTA2 for over 9 months now and I think that there has been a lot of changes especially in the meta.
1802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do I need to pay Tax on my Crypto Gambling Winnings? A guide on: March 11, 2021, 04:20:06 AM
I've never heard of anybody getting in trouble for not paying taxes on their gambling winnings. It is not something that will get you in trouble if you are in good standing with the IRS or whatever similar agency is in your country because you can just keep it a secret and they won't even know that you owe them money.
Yeah you are right, as far as I know gambling winnings are exempted to taxes. Maybe if you are the owner of the gambling house then you need to start worrying about paying taxes and most of the time, there isn't a lot of money to win in the casino to be eligible for something tax related.
1803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is the right time to gamble on football. on: March 10, 2021, 10:41:33 AM
Actually, those who are interested in soccer matches at the end of the season are at very risk of a lot of cheating. because the winner is certain we can count based on points. if indeed you are really interested in betting on the ball mid-season is a good thing. I have observed this several times over the past 3 years looking at the football league. besides that the bigmatch match is also suitable because of course there is a smaller risk of cheating
It's not that risky as the possibility of cheating in a big game is going to raise some eyebrows and it will be a big scandal for the league. I think that when you are ready to bet is the good time to bet on football because if you are not in the mood to bet then you might miss some details and you will not be able to decide properly which teams to bet on.
1804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Venetian Casino for Sale on: March 10, 2021, 09:48:25 AM
The bitcoiner that is going to be interested on this casino is going to under a lot of pressure and scrutiny because the money that they might use to buy the casino is definitely in bitcoins and I think they have to explain how they got that money if I am right. Vegas Sands is definitely on to something because I believe that their move of concentrating on Asian casinos is going to successful because Asians love gambling and they have almost 59% of the world population as their customer if they were to go global.
1805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sponsor Money from Casino, Is bad or Good? on: March 10, 2021, 08:53:48 AM
Its completely normal to promote their casino's for me. Just like ads that you see in television or in many different youtube channel. This type of marketing is not new, i see a bunch gaming channels that promote a new game even in tiktok there are many affiliate marketing from different companies promoted by influencer's.
I think so too, they are a business after all and every good businesses needs to have advertisements one way or another. In terms of is it good or bad, I think that it is a matter of perspective, for example, you are a devout Christian and you outspokenly denounce gambling which means that any form of sponsorship or such is going to be bad for you but if you are on the other side of the spectrum where you are an influencer who does anything for a meager sponsorship then casino sponsorship is a good thing.
1806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone placed esports bets? on: March 10, 2021, 08:04:35 AM
I used to play some Dota and Counter Strike back in the day and a lot of Starcraft.. but those days are long gone now. I knew everything about the Top players and the rankings ...but back then not a lot of eSport betting was done.

Now I changed strategy and I bet on CS:GO with the knowledge that I get from the kids that are still playing it. I know the basics of the game and they will tell me what the pro's and cons are for the latest players.. so I formulate my bets based on that.  Wink

I have to say, some of these kids are fanatics and they know what they are talking about. (It shows in my win statistics)  Grin
It seems that you have some really good kids with you to have your win statistics to be so good. What site do you usually go to when you are betting on eSports and other sports in general, I am pretty curious. Also to include it to the curiosity, can you post your statistics?
1807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Trust In-House Casino Competition? (Wager/Multiplier/Raffle) on: March 10, 2021, 07:25:20 AM
How about the casino platform that has the option of searching out usernames on the leaderboard, if the user profile exist then it's likely be a true user not a fake one. Also, you can verify it if you know a particular user that play with higher amount of money and wins it, that could also be way of verifying people on the leaderboard, I'm just having a feeling that there could be some ways if verifying those users if they aren't fake at all.
They can just fake the identity behind that player you know, if you are going to cheat then don't go half-assed on it along the way. I do trust in-house competitions because they are in a way make the players play more and have other reason for playing at that casino, I mean if you don't trust it then probably you aren't in that casino in the first place.
1808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There are no real coins in bitcoin on: March 10, 2021, 06:41:07 AM
Interesting analogy. But if we think about it. There is no real coins we are dealing with but a digital print of coin represent the figures and numbers which comprises the bitcoin quantity.

But this is a good arguement, cause possibly there is a reason why bitcoin coined as coin instead of something tangible right? Good statement, but wanted to hear some more deeper explanation about this.
That was what I was thinking too but the OP is just explaining the technical aspect of bitcoin and what it really is. Imagine in the near future, bitcoin is minted in coins that serves as wallet too and there is no way to extract them out of that coin but we know that it has X value based on what the minted coin says and then we finally did a full circle.
1809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Guy using bitcoin to cover his tracks while running from the authority on: March 10, 2021, 06:09:06 AM
That is a pretty bad thing but hey there is no one here that doesn't want to solve the problem that bitcoin is being used for illegal activities and such, like the dystopian book Brave New World, if something bad happens and bitcoin is involved, we just pop some Soma and let those negative things go away. I don't get why some users here just says that this is nothing, every other thing has their bad sides blah blah blah, indifference to a growing problem is not going to solve it.
1810  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Younger Generation and Revolut on: March 10, 2021, 05:31:28 AM
I think all the younger generation will meet bitcoin and blockchain they must know about technology and they will be in control going forward for this system.
Hopefully that will be the case but if they came from an ignorant household with ignorant parents, I think that they are going to be having a hard time accepting bitcoin. Good thing for you OP that your daughter discovered bitcoin, hope that your guidance will be of big help to her, I suggest that not just observe but to also be an active mentor to your daughter.
1811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China Controls Bitcoin's Future on: March 10, 2021, 04:45:08 AM
For much of Bitcoin's history, most of the mining was in the U.S. Did anyone ever claim that the U.S. controls Bitcoin's future?
If this is true then that means that what China is mining right now is just the scraps that aren't going to affect the bitcoin economy that much. I do think that if China does have an ulterior motive for mining bitcoin, no matter how much they deny it, they definitely have because if they weren't really have any motives then they should have not banned bitcoin for public use.
1812  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.com responsible for loss of clients funds on: March 10, 2021, 03:40:10 AM
I don't think Blockchain.com is always at fault. Most of the losses actually results from user's negligence and there is nothing that they can do.

But, of all the online wallets out there, Blockchain.com is likely one of the worst coded ones. The incident for which they pushed an untested update and resulted in the R values reused inadvertently was an amateurish mistake and unforgivable. If you don't want to lose your funds or suffer any headaches, steer clear of Blockchain.com.
Maybe if they made their services more functional and easy to use, I think that they can prevent such thing, the warning sign is just a fancy excuse that they do not want to take responsibility when their clients loss their wallets. As @ranochigo said, steer clear of Blockchain.com or any other online wallets, they will screw you over and they do not care if you lose your funds, buy a cold wallet and don't be dumb and careless with your credentials to access that wallet.
1813  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin mining in Texas - new trend - will Tesla follow on: March 09, 2021, 10:20:14 AM
Are these mines close to the power source? Because that can be helpful for them to reduce their expenses in energy consumption. Tesla following this trend won't be possible as they are mainly a car company, maybe Elon might create another mining start up that are more focused on the bitcoin and other related stuff.
Elon is open for possibilities of venturing on other investment option and might they will grab the option to open up a mining farm since its quite good option for them to open that. Remember they have capabilities since they have resources to make this project happen, but lets expect that they will use electric or other cheap methods so I believe they can lessen their operational cost if they can make their mining farm run by solar or other green energy source.
Elon has a lot of things on his hands and I think that he will be having a hard time juggling all the work for his current companies. I don't know why would he will be choosing Texas though, I don't live in the USA but the only thing that I can think that is the advantage of living or setting up business in Texas is that it is a midway between East Coast and West Coast, the only problem with the current usage of renewable energy source is that they need a huge amount of land to cover to get an efficient harvest of power.

Or they could just buy some shares from these companies. No need to start from the beginning if you can get it at a lower cost. Not sure about the profit either, if they think staking/trading is better I guess we won't see any movement.
That could work but I don't think that they are going for a meager percentage, maybe they can buy the majority of the shares but who knows what they will do, I was just speculating on what is going to happen next.

1816  Economy / Economics / Re: Tokenising carbon emissions and creating an efficient and verifiable market on: March 09, 2021, 07:58:53 AM
Wait, I don't even know you could profit out of carbon emissions lmao. Carbon trading could work really well for the planet's health and economy of the countries who are to partake, but from what I'm seeing, it's not working really well. Perhaps tokenising it could do a better job with the same goal, but without a feasibility study, this will all only be wishful thinking and senseless talk.
Businesses can profit out of carbon emissions but not in a conventional way, there are some countries that gives tax breaks depending on how much carbon emission your business is prevented from going in the atmosphere. Making tokens looks promising but it is doing the same as what is currently in place, yes a study might work but I predict that it will not be that different as what is the status quo.
1817  Economy / Economics / Re: Venezuela Planning New 100,000-Bolivar Bills Worth Just $0.23 on: March 09, 2021, 07:26:09 AM
Anyone selling some Bolivars let me know thanks.
What are you going to do with it though, the only thing that it can do as of this moment is become a fuel for fire. This wouldn't really come to this if the government prepared for an eventual price drop in oil but knowing that they don't want to do any work as the money pouring in is a lot, this is what happened. Not to mention that they failed to create projects that will benefit the whole community as most of the projects back when they were prospering is focused on individuals.
1818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice games on: March 09, 2021, 06:42:10 AM
That's true, success stories are shared much than the losing history. Whether we are into gambling or we try to follow any of the gambler, it is our responsibility to have prior plans as well as set our limits. The same luck of the one who has succeeded out of gambling won't be with us, so we are supposed to have our own strategies and tricks to increase the winning probabilities. Moreover the right exit strategy could get you small profit.
You can only set your limits if you have a discipline though, addicts tend to not be able to control their urges to do the things that they are addicted. Yes you are right that we won't have the same luck as anyone but I don't think that strategies won't work in a game of chances, dice will land wherever it wants to land, no matter how good you are with tossing the dice, you won't be able to control the outcome once it is out of your hands.
1819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take team's cohesion into account when betting? on: March 09, 2021, 06:01:02 AM
If the team can't work together and doesn't have any synergy or cohesion then they are likely to lose so yes, team cohesion is a good thing to consider when you are betting in sports, if you know that that team doesn't work that good together then you can bet against them and have the higher chance that you are going to win the bet.
1820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best gambling site for esport? on: March 09, 2021, 05:17:55 AM
Try Loot.bet (they accept crypto) or Sportsbet.io and you might find on what you do look for. Good luck!
I tried Loot.bet once but Sportsbet.io is a new one to me. Loot.bet is often advertised in some Esports betting sites that doesn't accept crypto so I got curious and checked it out and overall experience I would say is pretty good.
