Top 10 Reshuffles On CoinMarketCap: Ethereum vs. Ripple, Nem vs. Litecoin & More Crypto Gambling

Posted on by Allison Jordan

As Bitcoin continues to grow, some altcoins are not being left behind either. Last week there was an intense competition on the Top 10 of CoinMarketCap with some casualties being posted.

It was so engrossing to see some old cryptocurrencies uprooted from their longstanding positions. This registered the fact that no entity has a monopoly over a particular position.

Ethereum lost to Ripple

Smart Contract king, Ethereum in a very surprising circumstance lost its long-held number two spot to snowballing Bank Transfer giant Ripple. Fascinatingly, within the week it doubled its value and it was near twice the value of Ethereum.

Rising almost 40 percent, its market cap was over $15 bln. It has now lost almost $2 bln and Ethereum is now closing the gap. Actually, it was the second best-performing cryptocurrency on the top 10 last week.

Yet still, Ripple leads Ether with almost $2 bln in Market Cap. Some analysts in the space are strongly convinced it is likely that it will recover and take back the number two position it nearly monopolized for a couple of years.

It remained to be seen since Ripple keeps making deals with banks around the world expanding its portfolios. Anyway, Ethereum with no doubt as well has become a popular smart contract platform.

NEM pushed Litecoin

In a related development, on Thursday fast-growing NEM also pushed SegWit trailblazer, Litecoin to the fifth rank and became the world’s fourth most valuable digital currency. This was when the Ethereum Token rose a towering 50 percent in growth rate.

It became one of the notorious astonishments associated with altcoins rise since Litecoin, the silver of crypto has been performing awesomely in the market since choosing the SegWit path. Well in this space nothing is no more a bewilderment. NEM now holds more than …

Casino Software Providers Clarify Player Policies

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Feel that you’ve been ripped off by an online casino? Can’t get satisfaction from the casino management? Many players in this situation expect the software supplier to help – but that may not necessarily be in the cards.

Gambling software suppliers hold divergent views – and some apparently have no views at all – on their obligations in terms of fair and efficient treatment for casino players.

Prompted by three recent confrontations between players, casinos and software suppliers, Winneronline asked thirteen well known software providers for their views on this controversial topic.

The fact that only six of the thirteen responded despite frequent reminders would suggest that at least some suppliers do not see a commitment to assist the end-user (the player) as part of their obligations at all.

Three of the “Big Four” – CryptoLogic, Boss Media and Starnet – responded with professional and encouraging input which showed a real concern for how aggrieved players are treated.

Of all respondents, CryptoLogic, Boss Media and Australian software provider Access seem to have the most player-oriented approach, and their strictly controlled casinos arguably offer the best player protection.

CryptoLogic’s e-cash is insured up to US$100,000 per player

“We believe that both casino management and software providers should be responsible for addressing and helping to resolve player concerns or issues,” says CryptoLogic’s Director of Communications, Nancy Chan-Palmateer.

“CryptoLogic provides a total turnkey gaming solution to our licensees, which includes customer support for technical, gaming and e-cash. Our licensees operate their Internet casino business determining business strategy, market focus, marketing plans, promotions, setting fair odds within established gaming rules and regulations. The nature of the issue may determine which party – casino operator or software provider – is in the best position to help, but both parties have a responsibility to work together …

EBay to block PayPal gambling and Judi Slot Online payments

Posted on by Allison Jordan

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Online auction giant eBay Inc. announced today it is buying electronic payment facilitator PayPal Inc. for more than $1.3 billion in stock, in a long-rumored deal that the companies hope will make Internet trading faster, easier and safer.

The deal could hurt the Internet gambling industry, as eBay will end PayPal’s practice of handling gambling transactions. Although it is widespread, Internet gambling is considered to be illegal under U.S. law.

Separately, eBay released second-quarter earnings early, posting a net profit that more than doubled from last year. EBay earned $54.3 million, or 19 cents per share, on revenue of $266 million in the quarter ended June 30. That beat Wall Street forecasts of 17 cents a share, according to Thomson Financial/First Call.

Mountain View-based PayPal lets buyers and sellers exchange money via e-mail. Buyers make payments online through credit cards and bank accounts, and PayPal relays the funds to sellers’ accounts, taking a fee based on the amount transferred. About 60 percent of its business comes from eBay users.

Like eBay, it is a rare Internet-based business success. After beginning with just 24 experimental users in October 1999, PayPal has become profitable and boasts more than 15.4 million accounts. The company says it facilitated about $1.6 billion in money transfers in the most recent quarter.

Although regulators in some states have questioned whether PayPal might need to be licensed as a bank — a potentially worrisome prospect for PayPal’s growth — the company had one of this year’s best initial public offerings, with its stock rising 55 percent on its first day of trading in February and still well ahead of its $13 opening price.

In early trading today, eBay shares were down $2.28, nearly 4 percent, at $58.30 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. PayPal stock …

Travels With the Camel

Posted on by Allison Jordan

The Master Classics of Poker at Holland Casino in Amsterdam has been my favourite event on the poker circuit since I first visited Amsterdam about six years ago. It is the one tournament where you can’t be that disappointed to have been knocked out of an event, because plenty of laughs are to be found at the bar, and Amsterdam has many other attractions to entice the poker player at a loose end. Whatever I am doing in life, I guarantee that I will be at the Master Classics, unless I am 6 feet under.

 

Having said all that, there were some complaints about this year’s event. Holland Casino chose not to follow the now general conventions of giving a maximum of one chip to each player in a chip race and mucking a player’s hand if he is not in his seat when the last card is dealt. While the first is only a minor annoyance, the non-mucking of hands is a terrible mistake. After a break in the big event, a guy moved in his short stack from middle position, thinking he had only me and one other player to beat, as none of the other players had taken their seats. I passed, but the button dwelt up. After the blinds retook their seats, the button passed and the big blind found K-K and called. The raiser had only 9-8 and was busted out. But he had raised while thinking he had only two players to beat. Also, in rushing back to their seats, the blinds easily could have caught a glimpse of another player’s cards as they walked behind them.

 

Here is another problem with Amsterdam. At one stage, I reraised a player. A friend happened to be standing behind me. After my opponent passed, …

James joins Situs Qiu Qiu Online Bayern

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Never mind the hype about the Premier League: James Rodriguez has agreed to join Bayern Munich, it was announced this morning.

The move is only a two-year loan but includes an option to buy the 25 year-old for £35 million at the end of it.

The 2014 World Cup golden boot Situs Qiu Qiu Online winner sorely needed a change of scenery after being exiled to the bench for most of the season at Real Madrid, but his final destination is a real shock after so much linking of him to England.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and most of all Manchester United, whose manager Jose Mourinho shares the same agent as Rodriguez, ‘super-agent’ Jorge Mendes, had been tipped to nab his signature, with Bayern, PSG and Juventus firmly thought to be in the chasing pack.

According to the endless miasma of transfer gossip, such English teams had been “in advanced talks” for weeks, which makes Bayern’s press release the snatch of the summer.

That the Colombian is headed to Germany must be down to manager Carlo Ancelotti’s personal intervention.

How short our memories are. The Italian brought him to the Bernabeu after the last World Cup, where in his first campaign he was Real’s player of the season. James was used in a variety of midfield roles by Ancelotti, who clearly valued him as a crucial and versatile support for the BBC (Bale, Benzema & Cristiano) trident ahead of him.

James might not score like a forward, but he certainly gets involved in attacks and supplies the bullets to his teammates.

However, his mentor Ancelotti did not last beyond 2015 in Madrid. Despite winning the Club World Cup, Real finished two points behind Barcelona in the league, exited the Copa del Rey in the round of 16 after losing to Atletico …

Togel Gambler who recovered aids another

Posted on by Allison Jordan

I received the email two days ago. “How do I stop?” he asked. My friend, Harry, is trying to stop gambling. His email had a joking tone, but his meaning was quite serious. “I know that I have to stop, but I don’t know how to,” Harry wrote. “How do you walk away when you’re down, and admit that you’ve lost?”

 

Harry is a 26-year-old law student, living like most law students live. Harry eats lots of 99-cent double cheeseburgers and chokes each time he sees the cable/Internet bill in the mailbox.

 

He started gambling on games after his new roommate introduced him to the pastime.

 

First it was $25 or $50 on the Patriots, just a little something to enhance the enjoyment of the game. Then, Harry turned to betting on college basketball. Fifty-dollar bets turned into $150 bets, which turned into $500 bets.

 

Harry won some, but lost more. His new gambling habit was turning into a problem. Over the last few days, Harry has gambled away his rent and grocery money.

 

That’s when he emailed me. He knew that I had battled the same beast during my college days. I watched many a Syracuse basketball game wringing a useless towel.

I’ve felt the high of winning $1,000, then spontaneously ordering Chinese food for the entire floor. But, I also know how it feels to lose $1,000, your gut wrenching even as you plan your next bet to make up the loss, which you can’t afford anyway. It is a vicious, evil cycle.

I gambled most of my freshman year, my bets becoming more and more bold. I learned more sophisticated ways to place bets that yielded larger potential payouts. I even started taking bets from friends and acquaintances. Suddenly, I was an …

Dark Keluaran HK days ahead for fallen giants Júbilo

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

When Júbilo Iwata won the last of their J. League titles in 2002, several of their biggest names were pushing the wrong side of thirty.

 

34-year-old striker Masashi Nakayama was joined by veteran midfielders Toshiya Fujita and Hiroshi Nanami in a vastly experienced but rapidly ageing squad, as the elder statesmen of the Shizuoka side maintained a tight grip on the squad.

 

Júbilo clearly needed an injection of fresh faces if they were were to continue their dominance of Asian football, but rather than see their declining veterans depart, fans instead saw top scorer Naohiro Takahara exit for the German Bundesliga.

 

Fast forward to 2010 and the club’s Keluaran HK crippling lack of foresight has had a dramatic knock-on effect. In a land where experience is venerated above all else, Júbilo’s failure to renew their playing stocks has seen the club suffer a dramatic fall from grace.

 

No longer regarded as a powerhouse of Asian football, the one-time continental champions have even been overtaken by Shimizu S-Pulse as the strongest club in the region.

 

Average attendances have dropped to their lowest point this decade, Júbilo have not won a piece of silverware since 2003 and a new nadir was reached in 2008 when this once-proud club was forced into the relegation/promotion playoff to salvage their top-flight status at the expense of Vegalta Sendai.

 

Not even the form of striker Ryoichi Maeda has been enough to fire Júbilo out of their slump, after the Japan striker became the first Júbilo player since Takahara to top the goal-scoring charts while blasting home 20 goals for his struggling side last season.

 

Last weekend just 7,258 fans turned out at

Júbilo’s compact Yamaha Stadium to witness the home side lose to Kyoto Sanga on their …

Bola88

Adjust to the Speed of the Bola88 Table

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

Having played in hundreds of online no-limit hold’em tournaments over the last couple of years, I have experienced both extremely fast tables, where the players seem to be pushing their stacks in on every hand, and extremely slow, passive tables, where there are seldom any raises before the flop. It seems clear that there must be at least some adjustments or “gear shifting” required to play the optimum strategy for each of these two extremes.

 

To start with, there is definitely some truth to the old poker adage that states: “Play tight in a loose game, and loose in a tight game.” If everyone is playing close-to-the-vest tight, you can afford to play some mediocre hands and can often pick up “unwanted” pots with merely a small bet. But when the stacks are flying, you are often well-advised to sit back and wait for a good hand, which will usually be paid off well.

 

In a slow game, any good player rates to have a big edge, especially if he is the only player who frequently raises before the flop or does most of the Bola88 betting. But in some slow games, it is even better to let one or two of the other players be the “designated bettor.” For example, if you are playing in a game in which most players are just plodding along and calling, and then along comes some hotshot who starts raising frequently, you can almost feel that everyone else at the table hates this guy and would like to “get him.” So, they will strain to call him down and perhaps pick off some of his frequent bluffs — which often creates lucrative opportunities for you. And it is often sound to speculate (with lesser starting hands) by getting …

Eurovisions

 

The verdicts on the ‘Gang of Five’ who destroyed the harmony of the Togel Singapore French camp at the World Cup were announced just like any criminal trial’s results, complete with mugshots of the offenders.

 

Nicolas Anelka, the instigator of the pathetic rebellion with his foul-mouthed attack on coach Raymond Domenech, got an 18-game ban from the national team, Patrice Evra got five for failing in his captain’s duties, Franck ‘underage’ Ribery got three as the ironically named vice-captain and Jeremy Toulalan Eurovisions.must sit out one match me for penning the excruciating players’ statement which the hapless Raymond Domenech read out to the press, willingly or not.

 

Anelka predictably laughed off the ban but is unlikely to wear bleu again, while the reaction from the French players’ union, which blamed Domenech instead of the boorish players, showed it is not just England’s PFA who stand up for overpaid yobs in public.

 

In view of the damage done to the national team, the hopes of millions of Frenchmen and women back home and their sense of self-pride, let alone the image of the country across the world, the punishments handed out were mild in the extreme. Never before have I heard people telling me they were ashamed to be French.

Park And Koo Say Goodbye To Togel Hongkong Korea

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

Park Ji-sung says goodbye.

It was apt. On the day that Park Ji-sung announced his retirement from the South Korean national team, leaving the way open for even more young players, then 21 year-old midfielder Koo Ja-cheol was bidding farewell to Jeju United and heading to Europe to join 2009 German champions VfL Wolfsburg.

 

Park’s goodbye was more emotional and marks the end of an era. After making his 100th appearance in the semi-final of the 2011 Asian Togel Hongkong Cup that ended in a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of eventual champion Japan, Park confirmed that he wouldn’t be seen in the famous red shirt of his nation again in order to prolong his career in another red shirt, that of Manchester United.

 

Even at the far-from-ancient age of 29, Park feels that the lengthy journeys from Manchester to Seoul don’t do his body any favours and it can be safely assumed that his English employers are not against this decision.

 

“I think I could have continued my international career without health issues,” Park said, blinking in front of hundreds of flashlights at KFA House in Seoul. “But I will accept the situation as it is and I have no regrets. Because of our geographic location, I’ve had to travel long ways from Europe to play (in South Korea). But to be competitive in the world, we have to travel around the world and players from now on should take care of themselves.”

 

Try as he might, he couldn’t convince the assembled press pack that he doesn’t plan to make a dramatic comeback at the 2014 World Cup when he will be 33.

 

“If we make it to the World Cup in Brazil, then players who worked hard during the qualification …
