    How many of y'all hold BT-C for gambling deposits? 50% loss. Sorry.

    Dropped from over $10 G to $5 G. 50% loss in a matter of hours. Sorry fellas. Very tough. Ouch.

    no one will admit to that

    but those did still say they kept money in bitcoin while it was going up


    how about some sportsbooks that ADMITTED to keep money in bitcoin and i warned against it a year ago


    we will see the true players in sportsbooks within 3 months

    I keep all my gambling money in BTC. Been doing it for as long as the books have accepted BTC. Yesterday was brutal for sure. But there have been some great days too. Trying to stay positive.

    It dropped close to 50%

    But rebounded some today from yesterday

    I lost some but it will change daily. No panic here.

    Sticks just went up

    Not before you bet it!

    That will be a month or longer if the book allows a payout and doesn’t fold

    It didn’t drop from 10 k to 5k in 24 hours. It was slowly dropping weeks before and then fell sharply. You were being warned long enough to not have been affected, if you’re not a dumbass. But this post is highly inaccurate

    Why are sports bettors so risk averse when it comes to bitcoin and not risk averse at all when it comes to betting on sports?

    Correct!

    I honestly trust bitcoin more than some of the books I had money in.

    LOL What a thing to "take out" of this thread! Great job Sherlock. For your next act, why not go look at (& report to us)

    exactly how much it did drop when it "fell sharply." And also tell us exactly how many hours it took to fall that "sharply."

    LOL Or maybe just look at all the replies besides yours, and then forget about how "highly inaccurate" the post about the

    50% drop was, and answer the question. Do you hold BT-C for gambling or not? If so, sorry about the 50% losses!

    I was contemplating that this morning. Would I rather have dollars in a sportsbook right now or BTC after it just dropped 40%? Not sure.
    I have both anyways.

    You are doing this backwards. You want to deposit when BTC price is high and withdraw when it is low. For example, if you deposit $1,000 when BTC is $10,000 you will use 0.1 BTC. Then if the price drops to $5,000 you would get back 0.2 BTC for a $1,000 withdrawal.

    This extends you will need to or will be wishing you did.

    Don’t wait to long. There will be a freeze on payouts here in a week or two.

    Good point. I will wait until BTC drops down to $2,000 to withdraw.

    Welcome pal. 50% drop is harsh as hell for people who hold BT-C. I've lost more in the Stock market lately

    than was enough to buy a few houses with, but it wasn't no damn 50%! And not in a matter of hours! UGH!

    YES! And for the first time EVER in my time here, my BT-C order was not filled by SBR within a couple of days!

    So I did not suffer the 50% BT-C losses, because my order is still pending! Whew! My fitty dollas is

    still fitty dollas instead of 25 dollas!
