The use of Bitcoin within Sports Betting

Most betting pertaining to sports is done online these days, that means that everybody and anybody has the ability to do it. With online purchases, there's going to be some “baggage” in a sense. The internet is a very powerful tool, one that can only be explained by the phrase “connections by everybody, to everybody”. This means that some people don't exactly enjoy their personal information being up in the air like most of ours is these days, so some people take that extra step to make sure they're covered.

Sports betting isn't always something that is looked upon as “good”. Some countries may not even allow for sports betting at all. With all of the new “cryptocurrency” coming out in the modern times we live in, it's making it much easier for those couldn't bet on sports to do so now. The solution to all of these problems lies in bitcoin sports betting.

If you don't have the right type of money (or even the legal ability to bet) you could always use digital cash to pay for your transaction. It's a program that operated on it's own servers and systems, and is quite easy to use when you've got the hang of it. There are multiple ways of obtaining these coins, the most common being “mining”.

The process of mining is quite complicated, which means that it won't be explained thoroughly here. It would only make sense to someone who has advanced technical skills. You're still welcome to do your own research at the bitcoin wiki.

You may be able to send your deposits across borders without any fees from a payment provider. If you don't have access to prepaid vouchers, there is no problem at all. Bitcoin is mostly unregulated. That brings a sense of anonymity that you would not usually encounter. Technically, the system enables its users to circumvent any restrictions placed by the banking system. It's also a good idea to use the currency for making quick bets. The Super Bowl is only one instance where this may come in handy. It appears as though the currency is becoming increasingly useful. You can check out this list of bitcoin sportsbook review sites to find further information.

Also, you may not know that some sportsbooks offer no deposit bonuses. These are prizes that can be claimed whether or not you have made bets. The only requirement is usually signing up for an account. Bonuses can also take the form of suicide pools, where only the lone survivor receives the full prize. In each round, bettors will try to predict the outcome of the selected match.

There are also other ways to get free plays which are found below:

1. Monthly raffles and sweepstakes
2. Giveaways/contests to fan on social media
3. Random bonuses in email newsletters

The betting jargon and football moneylines can sometimes be confusing and scary in a sense, which is why online betting is so big these days. If you're looking for another way to play your props (or even just your spreads!) without having to worry about personal information being transferred, bitcoin is the solution you're looking for!

Please pay attention to the fact that not all bitcoin sportsbooks are as reliable as they seem. In one case, the site BTC Sports Bet refused to pay out a player's winning of over $6,000. This was a very irresponsible action on the part of the owner. Another event that took place was the shutting down of the famous Bit365 (not to be confused with Bet365). A huge amount of funds were missing and players have tried to sue the company.

Everything is good only in moderation, and this also applies to betting. Whether you bet online, at a local bookmaker, or perhaps somewhere else, you still have to play by the same rules.

2012 INSTAGRAM RECAP

2012 was not my favorite year BUT that is not why am blogging again. I'm back because its a way of reminding myself that despite all the negativity I am still very blessed to have lead the life I have. Thus the need to recap the things that I am thankful for. After all, life is too short to wallow and one day in the very near future, I would want to look back and see that I did not waste my time and I have lived my life to the fullest.

Let's begin with JANUARY;

For Davao's natural beauty and the opportunity to bask on these glorious scenery anytime.

MARCH;

DECEMBER;

Thankful for my brain that still got the smarts to do this 10 years after,

For the ability to donate to typhoon victims and friends who willingly gives despite the distance.

Thankful that I got to spend time and shop with Kuwait friends in Manila.

and thankful that they never fail to feed me, all the time. LOL

There's a lot to be thankful for in life and we should not forget  that by drowning into our own misery. As expected, life here in the Philippines is so much different with my last 10 years in Kuwait but it's a great experience that by the end of the day knowing that I am still in the right track  despite the diversions, makes me sleep better.

Thank you Lord Jesus.

Girl w/ a dragon tattoo was a 2011 American film but I saw the Swede version last December 2010 in Kuwait rooftop cinema and the American version just got air time this 2012 in the local cinemas. So technically, I can’t call that m 2011 favorite film of the year. If I have to be honest, my favorite film of 2011 Friends With Benefits! Hahah! I love romantic comedies and I haven’t seen a lot of them that year. Mostly, movie nights with my brothers usually entails fast paced action pack movies and Breaking Dawn for comedy =))

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

I turned 27 in BlueJazz Resort in Samal Island with Dubai friends. Celebrated it the day before with no agendas but to drink by the pool bar and eat and laugh! Before the night ends one of us got a tattoo (without pain killers!), bathe in the rain and laughed as hard as we can.

I celebrated my birthday every weekend of the whole month so I took my siblings and friends to GenSan for Gumasa white sand beach,

Lemlunay diving resort, puke party in my grandfather’s compound. Days after my birthday, I flew off to Manila to celebrate with friends and took a road trip to Bolinao Pangasinan!

Herm Albright and my mother always tells me this – “A positive attitude may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort”.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

“I got a pocket, a pocket full of sunshine. I got a love, a love that I know is all mine. Do what you want but you’re never gonna break me. Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me” – Natasha Bedingfield.

The most touching experience you've had this year?

Being on the receiving end of a surprise farewell party for me from Kuwait family and friends.

What did you like most about yourself this year?

My insatiable appetite for doing everything at once all the time.

What did you hate most about yourself this year?

I threw off most of my personal physical growth to the bin. So unhealthy way of living. Ack!

Was 2011 a good year for you?

In terms of travel 2011 was a blast for me. In terms of lifestyle, it was a notch below what I was used to for 7 years in Kuwait. I used to live in a 8 bedroom villa now we rent an apartment that gets flooded every time it rains. In terms of business, I’m lukewarm as I am still learning the ropes! Running the management, the operations and the clerical sides all at the same time can be quite daunting.

Nevertheless, I am forever positive, gracious and thankful for everything that God has generously bestowed upon me.

Was 2011 a good year? Let’s just say I can’t wait for 2012 has in store!
