@TheQuin, I would like to know if this is a scam or not regards, I got the email exactly from you guys. The email is exactly the same, I just want to verifiy this, if it is a scam or not. Thanks before From:Freebitco.in < noreply@freebitco.in> Congratulations We would like to inform you of our dear business. You won the silver prize in our annual competition. And you win one BTC. Now we want to deposit the prize into our account. But there is a problem currently preventing filing Your account balance must be equal to 20% of the value of the prize If there is no minimum balance in the account please send the remaining value to the following address before 11 pm GMTFrom Monday, 20 May 2019 the address is 3PviFE1rGwc2nXCirnPPboD1rHPVLZv9P1 We would like to inform you that if this value is not sent to this address, the prize will be withheld from you and given to another competitor FreeBitco.in, 3rd Floor, J and C Building, PO Box 933, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands I do not know if my email is being hacked or what but somehow they know that I am playing this lottery all the time. Just want to reconfirm again this As the others have already said that is an obvious phishing attempt. It is easy to fake the sender's address on an email. Anything that asks you to make a payment to claim your prize is a 419 advanced fee scam. We wouldn't send an email with such bad grammar. Is that BTC address your freebitco.in deposit address? Is there any mention of the alleged competition on the site or have I announced it here? It isn't that you have been hacked but rather the scammers have probably purchased a list of email addresses associated with Bitcoin on the dark web and are phishing them. How is it so easy to fake an email address? I mean honestly that email contents are clearly yelling scam but I would have probably thought freebitcoin sent it to me nevertheless when I saw the email address. I have learnt a new thing today that faking an email address is quite easy, I would have never known. People are really improving the scamming quality lately, they have been really working hard to make everything look as real as possible, even on twitter where someone asks for money like he is Elon musk was a very known scam for a short while but I remember dude making over 20 thousand dollars there too. Thankfully I have never been on the bad end of a scam attempt, not that I never fell for a scam attempt, there was literally no scam attempt specific to me (didn't fall for tweets like that or anything but that wasn't directed to me).

Email spoofing is one of the oldest tricks in the book. If you've an active email address, chances are you'd see spam mails from yourself from time to time.

You already said many times. Not everyone is as miserable as you when they win. I got 0.04 from the new betting option. I voted for Bran Stark on Game of Thrones, haha, I remember no one wanted to vote for him and the odds were huge, I wish I bet more.

Emails are a system from about the 1960's Its like a postcard, anyone can read it and anyone send you junk mail with made up details. Mail can be intercepted en-route and sent to another party who wants to read all your email, I've read court cases where that was part of the details. Obviously there has been times no one found out the email was redirected and duplicates made. In that case it was between two opposing ISP owners and so fairly easy for him to alter the IP routing.
Anyone who wants to send securely should be using PGP signatures to ensure they are the person they say they are

I still can't believe they ended it in a such a horrible way, the writers (and directors at the same time) just wanted this to be done with so obviously that they literally just quickly ended it without really caring about it and it shows. Why did HBO allowed for something like this, why would they let the writers get away with such a hurried up job, there was so many things wrong and nobody really cared about this season at all, look at the starbucks cups (one the famous the second was under samwell tarly when tyrion first enters on the last episode). This is really just a pure money grab move by HBO and the writers to make it end as quickly as possible and move on. I read on reddit a great idea like how Jon could have asked for a trial by combat with grey worm or anyone grey worm wanted and Jon could have gone free and since Grey Worm was considered a "bad man" by the end of it nobody would mind. Well, not much to do now, all hail bran the broken and I guess we gotta accept the loss on this bet .

Just curious on the betting option
Example If I have a bet 3 days before the expiration with odds 1.2 and I bet, 1 BTC but over the time the will drop to 1.1 and I will win, my win will be ?

The line on Bran closed @ 1.2 on Bovada as the final was leaked. Likely a lot of volume on FreeBitco.in betting on the leaked result and thus the odds went down. Just curious on the betting option

Probably something around 1.12 as you would have had a higher time multiplier.

There was a lot of last-minute volume likely caused by the leak. The odds will change when a lot of bets pile onto one outcome close to the end which is why the estimated payout is just an estimate. We also got a lot of volume on the Bitcoin price at the end of May being above $6000. Which although it looks like a sure thing Bitcoin is capable of moving more $2000 in 7 days.

Are you sure about it? This is what I don't get with this option of the multiplier. What is the point to bet on day 1 with this kind of options with high TIME WEIGHT MULTIPLIER if, in the end, your bet will have very similar odds to a normal bet without the "time factor risk" Example bitcoin June price prediction If I bet now is a very high-risk bet since we have 30 more days to the closing date and for this reason, we have a high bonus If I want to bet on 7500 -8000 range the odds and the winning showed are the followings but we have 30days, everything can happen so is safer to wait the last day and set a little higher "safe bet" on the best range, that range on the last day will have probably a range near 1.1 So base on what you said If I bet now 1 BTC on bitcoin prediction price with odds 3.71 as shown on the 1st picture and I will win my bet is not locked with that odds but if I will win I will get something around 1.2? This seems very wrong and misleading to me.

I thought of that which is why I set betting to close on the 23rd of the Month.

This helps but doesn't resolve the situation, the same is with the Uefa champions league where I bet with good odds. If the odds now will go down and my bet has no odds locked, I will lose only money. When I put a bet is expected that my bet is locked with the odds at the moment of my click. There is no point at all to do a bet with a high multiplier if in the end the odds when the high multiplier was active changes when we are close to the deadline... and this is very misleading to me. (Yeah I know now I probably already lost money on next champions league final since my odds are not locked and everyone is betting on last 2 teams and odds are quickly going down/changing)

This helps but doesn't resolve the situation, It certainly helps those who bet on $5,501 - $6,000 at 86.50x at the end if Bitcoin dips below $6000 briefly at the end of the month. A lot of people have underestimated the risk of that happening and piled in thinking above $6000 is a sure thing. the same is with the Uefa champions league where I bet with good odds. If the odds now will go down and my bet has no odds locked, I will lose only money.
When I put a bet is expected that my bet is locked with the odds at the moment of my click.
I don't know where you got that expectation from. Bet on the latest events against other FreeBitco.in users and win a share of the prize pool if you pick the winner!
Early bets have a higher weight and will get a bigger share of the prize pool!
I think that made it clear how it worked. There is no mention of fixed odds, it just tells you that the prize pool will be shared at the end which obviously means that your share will also depend on what bets are placed after yours. There is no point at all to do a bet with a high multiplier if in the end the odds when the high multiplier was active changes when we are close to the deadline... and this is very misleading to me.
Looking at the payouts on the events so far the early bettors have done very well compared to the late bets. (Yeah I know now I probably already lost money on next champions league final since my odds are not locked and everyone is betting on last 2 teams and odds are quickly going down/changing)
If you only bet on the winner then you can't lose. If you hedged your bets because you saw the current odds meant you couldn't lose if you backed both Liverpool and Spurs then you should have stopped and thought about it for a moment. There is no such thing a guaranteed win.

I don't know where you got that expectation from. Well, 99% of websites work on that way or I'm wrong? When you click you get a fixed odds (I'm talking about huge bookmakers like William hill, bet365 etc), so I think is a normal expectation.

Bookmakers do indeed work that way. This is player versus player betting, not bookmaking. As I just said: Bet on the latest events against other FreeBitco.in users and win a share of the prize pool if you pick the winner!

Oh my god guys why did everyone have to put spoilers all over the place? I was planning to see if I would do this Game of Thrones thing on the weekend but seriously, we have sore winners who put it all over the thread and many times too!
I guess now the next discussion is. Was the odds really 2/1 (or so it seems from the posting)? I thought Bran payouts were much bigger than that. So are the bets system working out for everyone? Anyone know what's the difference a 99x and 1x weight applied to winnings?

On top of all of that we should also consider the fact that "betting" is something new in freebitcoin, I am sure there will be more games there will be more shows and there will be more stuff that we can bet on in the future, right now it is quite limited and it is kind of like in beta stage right now. When everything is said and done we are going to have a betting section that is delicious and we will be capable of at least getting used to it since it will be much more stable when it comes to it.
Something like sportsbetting on a football match and something like a tv show ending is totally different so it is not really that disappointing that it ended this way (unlike the show which was super disappointing). A year from now we will probably talk about how freebitcoin is amongst the top websites for betting too.
