IMHO, the title doesn't suit the context of this thread. It should be about "why casinos don't add sports book often?"
I am thought I was the only one who observed the title.
Me three.
As for, 'casinos not having sportsbooks' — I have observed this a few times where casinos only have casino games at first and sportsbook is added later on.
...
This seems to be a pattern. I remember Wolf.bet, Roobet, and others started being a casino. They eventually added more options as they grew. If I'm not mistaken, even Stake was once a casino-only site.
FWIW, Jacksclub also was also casino games only at first, and sportsbook was added just recently.

As always, wars can only benefit a few. The rest will suffer. Thanks to globalization every conflict affects the rest of the world. My small country that's quite far from where the bombings are happening is now falling short of oil supply. Some gas stations are already closing. The prices of those that are still open have increased a lot. The number of working days have to be cut. The list goes on. While there's always a silver lining, it's not worth it. War is evil.
By the way, it's ridiculous to even suspect the attack is also caused by Iran using its oil to mine Bitcoin.
It is not actually a war between Iran and Israel it seems that we all are in a state of war. The economic conditions have drastically changed in this month. Besides Iran, other countries are also affected, not only by the increase in prices of oil and other commodities, but also in terms of the mental peace of the public. If the situation remains the same, then all countries will face a huge wave of increasing inflation. Inflation has already affected many civilians but this wave is assumed to be even worse for the common public. There is a need for the unity of other countries and they should build pressure on both sides to stop the war. the rate of inflation will go beyond imagination and goods will become scarce. I think the fight for a good standard of living will turn into a fight for achieving basic goods and necessities. That ultimately create many distruction and create many problems for the public

If the decision is left to the judges, he might once again complained of how the score cards turn out, just like what happened in his Tsutsumi fight. He couldn't believe he only won 3 rounds in one judge.
This looks like an obvious win for his opponent if the fight goes to the judges’ scorecards. And Donaire fighting in Japan against Japanese champions doesn’t really help his chances either.
It seems they really want to dominate that division, especially since Naoya Inoue hasn’t even tried moving up yet even though there’s not much challenge left for him at super bantamweight.
So if we believe Nonito Donaire can still win, the better bet might be Donaire by KO.

Then despite your claims of being completely anonymous, privacy-first, and non-custodial, you're anything but them. Or, to be fair, you're perhaps non-custodial because deposits are immediately routed to your liquidity providers. However, it's still misleading. Funds could still be blocked.
But worry not, it's not only you that claims one thing and implements another. You all just have to repeat this over and over again and people would one day accept that an anonymous exchange may require KYC anytime or that a non-custodial exchange could mean funds actually leave the user's control.
Thank you for the comment.
When we refer to a privacy-focused service, we mean that users do not need to register or create an account — swaps can be performed directly from their own wallet.
Xgram operates as a swap aggregator and routes transactions to different liquidity providers. User funds are not held on our platform.
As with most exchange services in the industry, liquidity providers may apply AML checks and, in rare cases, request additional verification for transactions that are flagged as high risk.
This routing model is widely used across many swap aggregators in the industry, and we try to describe it as transparently as possible so users understand how swaps are executed.
5. Post 66500545 (unedited backup) (by Z-tight) (scraped on Thu Mar 12 11:58:01 CET 2026) in What actually happens when exchanges freeze wallets?:
Overall, it's unfortunate that risk assessment, AML scoring, and similar practices have somewhat become acceptable, even here it seems. For me, they're a Trojan horse. The real purpose is control.
Yeah it is, i also consider it to be an attack on BTC's fungibility. When you introduce terms like 'clean' and 'dirty' BTC, then it is obvious what the motive actually is, because to bitcoiners, there is neither clean nor dirty BTC. BTC is BTC. However, i guess that is where we are right now with regulations, and things are probably bound to get worse. Developers are even getting jailed for creating open source, self custodial softwares, it is that crazy.

At the very least, it's a breather to see a new exchange (or reseller to be exact, right?) introduced here that doesn't falsely claim to be privacy-focused, anonymous, non-KYC, non-custodial, decentralized, instant, and so on. That's honesty. Or are you being too straightforward when you remind users that "identity verification may be required" or "funds may be blocked" before they confirm their transactions?
By the way, do you have this much reserve?
https://talkimg.com/images/2026/03/12/UksH7I.pngOr perhaps your site isn't yet finished or at least polished? And this is also the reason why there are some Russian words even if I chose English, the user review (test review, right?) is dated 2024, among others?
Thanks for your questions.
The reserve shown in the calculator is only a technical indicator and does not represent an actual wallet balance. This element will most likely be removed or hidden when we finish polishing the interface and design.
Regarding AML/KYC - like most exchange services in the industry, transactions may be subject to additional checks depending on risk scoring from liquidity providers or compliance systems. We prefer to mention this in advance so users understand that such situations may occur.
And yes, the platform is still relatively new and we are continuously improving it. Some interface elements and translations are still being polished.
We appreciate the feedback.

In a game of luck, the outcome is beyond your control. You can never make your own luck in a casino playing dice, roulette, slots, and the like. You can only cross your fingers.
It's a bit different with sports betting, but you still can't make your own luck. However, you can deepen your analyses, improve your monitoring of updates and developments, and so on, thereby possibly improving your bets. But that's not luck, either.
Casino games and house edge cannot create their own luck, except for the random winnings that casinos provide.
In sports betting, it relies on team analysis to see the squad in it, when some of the main players are injured, it usually affects the game later, so sports betting can be won like creating your own opportunities then choose small odds, but it all doesn't fully work sometimes with odds of 1.1x only bettors can fail.

Masuda is probably an easier opponent. I hope Donaire gets this one for a potential rematch with the current champion. All the best for this fighting legend.
Probably, I mean, if you check Masuda's boxrec, he lost to Tsutsumi, but seeing Masuda's KO rate, it means that Masuda has strong punches, and Donaire needs to be careful with those, he could get hit with one strong punch, and he could go down. Donaire also need to check his stamina, one of the reasons why he lost to Tsutsumi is that he started slowing down in the middle rounds, and Tsutsumi took advantage of that.
9. Post 66496682 (unedited backup) (by BALIK) (scraped on Wed Mar 11 09:53:01 CET 2026) in path of bitcoin vs gold:
In this context, it seems they're different in that gold more or less started as a widely used currency but Bitcoin didn't. Although Bitcoin is designed as money, it didn't really function as such in the beginning. Apart from a number of dark net marketplaces early on, Bitcoin wasn't really accepted as money. So, it's probably the other way around for Bitcoin. The perfect time for it to function as money is yet to come.
Will we ever have the chance to see Bitcoin recognized and used as a currency in line with its original purpose someday?
To be honest, I seriously doubt that. The government is unlikely to allow this because their power would be weakened if they lost control over the monetary system. Secondly, perhaps people also do not want to use Bitcoin as currency. Most people view bitcoin as an investment, and not many people want to use bitcoin for spending.
The chances of Bitcoin becoming and being used as an official and legal currency are very low.
10. Post 66495515 (unedited backup) (by Dogedegen) (scraped on Tue Mar 10 22:34:31 CET 2026) in Playing Safe Always: The Gamble That Can Lead to Mediocrity:
Playing it safe is something that is very subjective and I wouldn't trust someone using this term when gambling that much.
What does it mean to play it safe? Are you budgeting your gambling spend?
If I was budgeting the spending I wouldn't mind about the odds.
But if I play so called "safe bets" but spend unlimited money then there's also chances to lose unlimited money however small the chances to lose.
I don't think that we should listen to advice that applies this method on gambling in any case. How does one decide what the right opportunity is? It is always going to be a subjective evaluation and never objective, so by letting ourselves play things more risky whenever we think we should which is the same as basically playing based on feelings it will lead to riskier behavior and more addiction. I've seen this kind of approach being used by people that explain why they played more than their budget allows even if they lost, they say that they have seen a great opportunity. Gambling is not something to be taken lightly, it comes with big risks and because of that we should keep the safe playing under a well managed budget regardless of what opportunities we think are coming or not. Most likely, we just imagined these opportunities and they would lead to losses. We can just think how many times have we heard someone becoming rich by gambling big and how many times we have heard someone ruining themselves? It is clear that a risky approach does not work.
I don't know but if you have the attitude to play safe, it's either gambling isn't for you or it will be boring. Well, perhaps there are some of us who are already thrilled betting amounts that are as good as nothing or easily satisfied betting on what they consider sure wins despite the low odds. As for me, the level of excitement correlates with the amount risked.
In all fairness, however, having an attitude like this in gambling doesn't necessarily mean you're the same in other areas of life. Perhaps you just treat gambling as non-essential and so it's not worth risking a significant amount.
This is pretty bad advice as it tells people to play on excitement and not to stick to strategy and budgeting. If you get thrill from betting money, you will get addicted to this fast and destroy your dopamine receptors long term. Gambling should be fun even if you play with fake money. If it is not, then you are gambling the wrong way.
11. Post 66492906 (unedited backup) (by fullfitlarry) (scraped on Tue Mar 10 08:43:43 CET 2026) in [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Riku Masuda - WBA Bantamweight Title Elim - March 15:
Donaire is once again expected to be the underdog. Fair enough considering his age, but the last time I saw him fight, which was against Tsutsumi, he still got the composure and the lethal blow. Round 4 could have been the last round had he caught Tsutsumi earlier. But his aggression didn't last. That's probably the disadvantage of old age. The fading rounds were for Tsutsumi.
Yes, but before, he had some fights that lasted and so he had a good gas tank. But as he age, it was sure that his stamina is going to be affected just like in the last fight wherein he could have a better chance to win if he had his second wind and not lose on the judges card, but it's a split decision so it could go either way. But having a gas tank could be a ++ for him.
Masuda is probably an easier opponent. I hope Donaire gets this one for a potential rematch with the current champion. All the best for this fighting legend.
But Donaire needs to avoid that power punches and not get knockout as the record of Masuda says it all.
12. Post 66490016 (unedited backup) (by Emitdama) (scraped on Mon Mar 9 14:52:25 CET 2026) in do you think every bet must have an “opposite”?:
The "option to bet on the opposite outcome" is already there right? In the first place, that's what you'll choose from if you bet on which team or player is winning. It's either this team or the other. Betting on Team A basically means betting on Team B not to win. Or betting on first goals, for example, you don't have to release odds for Team A not making it because that essentially means betting on Team B. There's also over/under, yes/no, and so on. Those are already opposite outcomes, right? But I guess not all opposites odds are profitable, interesting, or even possible.
Very interesting topic because do we agree that betting against the majority in sports-betting will lead to profitable results overall? I'm not sure that's true. In fact, most of the times if many people are betting on the same thing, it means the bet is underrated, and hence so many people are betting on that.
I've never tried betting on those popular betting options because most of the time I am very certain what I want to bet on, which mostly is e-sports like Dota 2 and League of Legends. E-sports are not yet famous enough to get front-page recognition or be called popular options.

But the claim on your site remains that it's an anonymous and privacy-first platform. Your profile on SwapSpace even boasts of "complete anonymity". On KYCnot.me, it says the platform is the "most private". Isn't it, therefore, ambiguous when the platform may actually demand KYC anytime or submits to local and international law-enforcing bodies requiring users to undergo KYC?
Where do you operate from, by the way--Belize, Costa Rica, Seychelles?
When we describe Xgram as a privacy-focused platform, we mean that standard swaps do not require account registration or the creation of a user profile. Users can perform exchanges directly from their wallets.
At the same time, as with most exchange services, transactions may go through AML risk checks. In rare cases, if a transaction is flagged as high-risk, the liquidity provider executing the swap may request additional verification.
Xgram operates as a technology platform-aggregator that connects users with various liquidity providers who perform the exchanges.
Do you plan to get listed on other reliable monitoring platforms like OrangeFren or BitMixList.org?
As for monitoring platforms, we are open to cooperation with reliable services and are gradually expanding our presence across different exchange monitoring platforms.

That's what gambling is, but there could be gamblers that are going to play safe, just enough for them to experience gambling itself and then going to the motion of like betting all their money and risking everything. Maybe they have experience worst before, that's why they are reluctant now and hesitant to put all their money on the line.
In all fairness, however, having an attitude like this in gambling doesn't necessarily mean you're the same in other areas of life. Perhaps you just treat gambling as non-essential and so it's not worth risking a significant amount.
It might have to reflex on our decision making. Maybe we really don't look at it, but if we examine it more carefully, our decisions in life could be gambling at all. Or we might be that there are gamblers that are aggressive, but then when it comes to life decisions, they are somewhat conservative.
15. Post 66486284 (unedited backup) (by DeeppRockk) (scraped on Sun Mar 8 14:06:49 CET 2026) in ETFs dead already?:
The reality, however, is that between paper and the real thing, some prefer the paper. Also, in all fairness, it comes with a few advantages like not having to learn or worry about wallets and backups and whatnot. So, yeah, there are those who prefer the paper.
There are still talks about them Bitcoin ETFs, but not as though they're a new thing. Of course, their volumes rise and fall. I did a quick check on IBIT's volume, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF. It's still in the billions daily. That remains huge, far from dead.
The volumes are quite decent. Institutions have been mostly buying and occasionally selling bitcoin almost on daily basis.
Another advantage of having ETFs is to not worry about the private keys since we the institutions are holding the custody of their bitcoins.
We can say ETFs have it's own pros and cons and while some prefer the real bitcoins, some others might prefer ETFs which is not that bad at all.
Yeah, it's the same trade-off, just in a different package.
If I remember right, first it was trusting those early online wallets, then it was the new exchanges that swore they were better than Gox. Now it's institutions trusting custodians with their clients' coins. I get why it feels safer...
the names are bigger, they wear suits. But the risk is exactly the same. You're holding an IOU for bitcoin, not the real thing, which took me a while to figure out back in the day.
And those promises have a habit of breaking when things get ugly.
