Quote from: Sandra_hakeem on Today at 02:47:34 AM
With blackjack side bets on online casinos, however, the house edge itself is discouraging. I don't waste money on them, perhaps except insurance. I'm not attracted at bigger payouts. It simply means it's hard to win. In other words, it's just throwing money away. Side bets could easily drain your funds much faster than your main bets.

Side bets are just the casino's way of eagerly wanting to empty your wallet.  
Everything is being set up that way for a reason, it's never a mistake. You are the target. It was made so you can chose to fall into what clearly seems to be a trap or move on to something smaller. Some can't ignore that big payout, what exactly are they on it for? Their faith strongly holds a belief that there's always a possibility to win, just like when you decide to wager on bigger odds on virtual games, but how?
Really hard to time this, and even if there is so called pattern that players are looking, I don't think it's a guarantee.
With how fast it can drain your bankroll, is there a pattern to it or is it just another strategy that works in most cases? Neither.

Lol, exactly my thoughts too, side bets are finished math that needed no strategy, it's already against the gambler, I don't know why people don't see things this way, something was already designed to put you in an unfair place and you think you are going to fight your way out, it's not you on the ring throwing hands where you can outperform, the system is already against the gamblers and it's why I don't think about making some money via gambling.

Exactly! Having such license, it's not as if Bybit has the option to either implement it or not, abide by the sanctions or not. There's no such choice. It's mandatory.

Also, whether Bybit announces it or not isn't the signal, because its highly compliant third-party security providers are doing the silent job of enforcing whatever legal directives at the backend. The screening, freezing, blocking, rejecting, reversing, and other triggers are automated.

Finally, being "ignorant of the news" has never been a valid excuse. Users of Bybit and other leading crypto exchanges have been complaining for years and years of locked funds without knowing the reason why.
Yep and actually bybit had made important notice regarding enforcement of the sanction back in 27 may 2026 as it turns out https://x.com/Bybit_Official/status/2059578789613699478, using this as a precedent, they'll likely to enforce platform wide screening to the deposit that are connected to the 17 platforms above as well if anyone ever made one.

The supervising of MiCA authorization is also happening on an ongoing basis, the EU has made a good example of KuCoin by prohibiting it from fully operating because the exchange let thefew roles required by MiCA were left empty.

Here's another set of proofs that the country is indeed facing a gambling pandemic.

<...>

To make the reality even hopeless, most players are utterly clueless about it.

Really? I've seen a few stories like these about the Philippines. In every country, there are problematic gambling behaviors, but the percentage of people who fall into them is low. That said, those who do can ruin their lives very quickly. I don't know what specifically happens in the Philippines to make it worse there. I suppose it has to do with a combination of limited financial resources and a lack of financial knowledge.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 02:27:17 AM
I initially thought it had something to do with making the impression of fairness to players. Switching balls would erase doubts in players that there's something wrong or suspicious with the ball that affects where it lands.

But if the host changed it after a player or some players are making successive wining bets, the suspicion might be coming from the other side. Whenever such things occur, the dealer might also change the ball to stop whatever unusual things happening.

I agree verily with you because I've had similar experiences where the dealer seems to reshuffle the dashboard of the game like it's refreshed to reload system for fairness outcome.
I've always believed that the dealer does that to clean any form of skepticism that players may feel cheated with the certain ball. Th dealer too may not trust you fully so he'd interwove it to convince both sides but it's always like the dealer knows all he's doing that's why we can't beat the house edge.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 02:49:29 AM
Why not, right? If Polymarket and Kalshi are arguing that they're not gambling services because they're basically just platforms for users to trade event contracts, then exchanges are also more than qualified to get into the same game. They're already registered and licensed to offer trading services, after all.

But apart from this, I guess it's just the pretty money that's flowing into prediction markets that ultimately encourages crypto exchanges to get into the competition as well. Trading is pretty much predicting, anyway.

Agreed.

However, I believe they are both trading and gambling at the same time considering what kind of contract they are offering which is the main goal is to gamble on sports.

It’s a gray area for now when it comes to classification but I’m later on they will be required to seek gambling license just like sportsbook since they are almost with the same category.  Cheesy

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 03:07:57 AM
An AI-enabled toothbrush would make dentists go extinct? There's too much of a leap in there.

Regardless, I'm seeing a future with them. AI plus robotics, most especially AGI plus humanoid robots, would massively wipe out jobs. Others might argue, but who'll design, assemble, test, fix these robots? Well, it could be robots themselves. These embodied AI could perform countless of actual human tasks--more efficiently, accurately, objectively, without getting tired, bored, and so on and so forth.
How many people will spend money on a $500 toothbrush? The brush is just a mouth camera with a sensor and rinsers. Those who buy it might also have their dental data given out.

Robots don't have feelings or emotions, and many jobs require this feature. Patients will always want to be attended to by human nurses. People will always prefer to interact with humans and not robots.

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence in the workplace will do the following;
- take jobs
- create new jobs
I think more jobs will be lost than the ones AI will create.

Quote
There are just some jobs that AI can't do no matter the level of training. A human agent must have to perform those jobs. I remember the company that fired its engineers claiming AI could do their job and after a while they had to get the engineers back.
They brought back the human engineers due to poor performance of these AI tools. However, they were also rehired to train the AI agents.

I understand the fact that there's always a huge room for AI improvement, and that every year AI becomes more developed and useful in different angles of life. But AI replacing the jobs of medical practitioners is something that I don't think will be easily conquered by AI. AI is just a tool, it can help perform surgeries and operations but it will never replace the special roles of doctors and nurses, or the dentists and pharmacies.

However, AI can make their jobs more efficient and effective, but in every AI procedure, these medical professionals will always be present, even though they won't perform the whole operation. I know its quite scary for us humans, but time will definitely come that AI will be a big part of the jobs of medical professionals.
You are mistaken. Machine learning diagnosis was already better than most doctors and that was many years ago. So if the machine can do better diagnosis and better suggestion of medicine and treatments than doctors, why would we need the doctor? Machines or AI do not need to be perfect, they just need to be better than humans and we are going fast into that direction. Nobody can say when exactly this is going to be, but any kind of denial of this process is just wrong. Those jobs are not hard at all to replace correctly.

You are mistaking AI-enabled tools from the current generations with actual AI and robots. An AI tool such as an AI toothbrush will not replace a dentist, but a robot that does dentistry better than most dentist will. Once we have robots that are skilled like that we are going to see emerge new business models of how services are provided, but in those cases there will be almost no new jobs created it will only be about replacing jobs.

That is how they are going to do it in the last stage of this, robots fixing and making more robots. As these technologies advance I do not see a need for most humans in that production process, it will be mostly just the owners and some managers that own the whole operation. But this kind of future is dangerous and we need to see how we can change the current way of life into a compatible way so that humans don't suffer, but instead thrive.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 01:44:04 AM
I believe there is an obvious conflict of interest when comes to the family of the president of the United States getting involved with such huge investments in prediction market providers...

Same here. It seems the conflict of interest is all too obvious. But what can regulators do when it's the president's family itself that's involved?

Anyway, this is a great boost to Polymarket's confidence. They could use this as a leverage to somehow turn out victorious in the multiple federal and state-level investigations and lawsuits they're currently facing. The entry of the Trump family in the business is Polymarket's light at the end of the tunnel. Somehow, it effectively erases the uncertainties that it's facing.

All this leverage Polymarket could take advantage of, unfortunately to them, has an expiration date. The day Trump is removed from the presidency and a democrat government is moved in to replace him.
After a democrat administration is in, then the power balance of Trump family will be broken and they will have to use their money the best way they can in order to face a Democrat government, which would be very difficult.

That is why this incoming midterm elections are so important, they serve as a thermometer in order to see who bad Trump and Republicans are doing in the eyes of the common people of the United States.

By the way, it's here on the forum that I learned several years ago that there's actually no such thing as input in the Bitcoin blockchain. There are only outputs.
What do you mean by "there's actually no such thing as input in the Bitcoin blockchain"?
Every non-coinbase bitcoin transaction has inputs, and even Satoshi has used the word "input" in Bitcoin whitepaper.
I don't know which input everyone is talking about if i know correctly every unspent UTXO become input when it's send to another address. If two UTXO is being used it become two input once those UTXOs send using single transection it become 1 output.

Quote from: I_Anime on August 29, 2026, 08:10:13 PM
Inputs: 0.4 BTC+0.6 BTC=1 BTC
Output to recipient : 0.8 BTC
Change back to you : 0.199 BTC
In OPs case it's two input and two output which mean transection fee would be even higher because more input and output equal more vbytes and more vbytes mean higher transection fee.
