Ah I just noticed now I won 2nd ... tada. So just to recap...  here is how I won.

Being blatantly honest with my reviews, critical of all free chips I get ( because they just don't seem to amount to much play time ) , literally and figuritively  take nothing personally or seriously on this blog and ... um... oh the most important part of all... burn more trees than a California wildfire. That I think sums it up.

These contests are so much fun and i juSt wanted to say thank you again to Jack & Winaday & Slotland & blueday & MelissaN & LCB for all the time and generosity that goes into hosting this for us, We are often times undeserving. lolol!! 

Last month it was discovered that I suffered a dissection in my carotid artery that resulted in 7  strokes and 7 days in ICU . This type of injury is different than what people most commonly associate with strokes,  Simply put,the inside layer of my carotid  artery separated from the outer layer-- forming a blood blister. The blister ruptured  and a little army of tiny clots was swept away --- literally going with the flow until finally getting lodged in different parts of my brain.  Subsequently, the oxygen supply was cut off to these areas of my brain. This is why the number of strokes is so unbelievably high. The clots didn't have the decency to find their final resting spot in sync with each other & every time it happened, the feeling was like a cartoon head explosion going off inside my head,The good news is that the damage to my brain tissue -- which left me blind in my left eye, and  my vocal cords weakened (my boyfriend has found this to be quite humorous *rolls eyes) has already begun to heal. In instances where there is permanent damage, the process of redirecting the neuro pathways that interpret color  has  brought an entirely different view  of the world to me.  Colors are so pretty. In fact, as a result of this event my world is a much prettier place---both in  the way I see the physical  world and more importantly,in  my appreciation for this life.

The last couple days have been rough though, as some of the symptoms leading up to my strokes have begun repeating themselves.

I'm going to skip  giving a prediction this week.  I wish you all the best of luck and promise a healthy return to  next weeks contest!

Get well soon Key!

Slotland: Danny420

Prediction: 5555

Hi, So things are starting to make sense now. All the confusion but really now I see its pretty straight forward. 

So JACK,

WINADAY: LEON21

And now fully understanding the contest I get that locking in the prediction at the latest possible stage gives you a great advantage. 

That being said. I am 100% confident on my original prediction of $5,154.38 

I'm so confident I'd stake my reputation on it...

My username is juggagrooves2 for Slotland, and my prediction is 1BTC = $5775.

Thanks again for this contest, and best of luck to everyone!

My thoughts are with you, Key!!! We'll see you when you get back!~

My guess for October 18, 2017 is:

$5472.57 USD

Slotland Username:  SharonD1960

Good Luck to all!

@Key11.. i just read your story and I really hope all turns out well..feel better..

Alright folks. Your time to estimate the future value Bitcoin for Wednesday, OCTOBER 18 HAS PASSED.

* * * ANY ESTIMATES FOR OCT18 MADE AFTER THIS POINT WILL BE IGNORED * * *

Good luck guessing BTC value on the next Wednesday, OCT25 -- BUT with the recent spikes in BTC value, you might better off wait till the weekend. Just my 5c

Cheers Jack

Not feeling so confident right now.. But its literally anybodys game when it comes to predicting bitcoin price.

And just to sum up --

This the list of predictions I have on my list for this ongoing Wednesday, OCT 18:

$4,882.40 jewelnurse
$5,154.38 Leon21
$5,408.00 caspertrac
$5,756.00 cheztwins
$6,189.00 jcbossi209
$5,555.00 Simple222
$5,154.38 LEON21
$5,775.00 drjugz
$5,472.57 2Late4Me
$5,260.00 uffa2015
$5,598.00 roxcbrown

With another seemingly disruptive hard-fork scheduled for November, we're likely to see some truly massive turbulences and major swings in both ways, so I wouldn't be susprised to see BTC valued anywhere within $3-8k in just month's time -- though I'm overall bullish, and being long in this

Focus on what's most important in your life, key11, your life alone!! No doubt you can battle this off. Sending along my best 'Get Well' wishes

No worries there. With THIS many Wednesdays left till the year's end, you will have another chance to adjust your BTC value guestimate soon, should you feel it needs a touch up

Hey friend, Key11, thank you for sharing your illness with your friends, the LCB Team,  Guess what? You deserve a 1st place win in a row for your great calculated predictions.  You have all my prayers and blessings. I will not stop until you notify usof the well being improvement and then some. Don't worry a miracle of improvement will come daily. You'll see.

Take care!

  WE  YOU!

Thank you, everyone for the kind wishes!

I am just now getting home from a long day of Dr visits, the inevitable labwork,, and lastly the dreaded pharmacy wait. I found out earlier that I'm alergic to asprin. I'm covered in hives and it's made the day's joyless chores into uncomfortable joyless chores. I think the people at Sam;s Club thought I had fleas.  (Or maybe they thought I had ants in my pants? lol! Poor folks...It couldn't have been easy to witness! )

*Sigh   

I've been grounded from driving --which is a bummer. I'd rather be grounded from doing the laundry, tbh.              But... maaaaybe........ If  I am subtle....I could find a way to convince my boyfriend that laundry has an adverse affect on my asprin allergy! Anyone wanna lay down some odds?  lmao! Wish me luck!

Hmmm, what a coincidence...?!

Doesn't it come handy that a few days ago I must have read somewhere that the Global Chamber of Detergent Mass Producers issued a *strong* warning not to use any of their products by any individuals 'gifted' with an asprin allergy --

Here you go. It's there. Now you can just say you saw it somewhere on the internet. Or heard someone saying it's there. Which is basically the same thing. So it must inevitable be true, right?!

Or you can just blame certain #fakeNEWSguyNAMEDjack --

If we win a prize for predicting correctly or in top 6 ....can we have the prize split between Winaday and Slotland Account?

UNOFFICIAL

well it looks like BTC rate for October 18th around 12AM (EAST) was approximately $5644/1 BTC. 

who are the top 6 closest of us all??

anyone? anyone ?

That was a good one, cheztwins, but I'm afraid NOT. Can you live with just being granted a sizable bonus that you can play at ONE casino...?

Hmmm, thought I got all the loose ends covered, but it looks like there was one missing --

As by Wednesday midnight EST I meant Wednesday 23:59 or 11:59 PM.

Changing the promo rules to make this crystal clear --

ANYONE ELSE?!?!?!

Nn, based on what I just said, it's today's midnight (or 23:59 for the nitpickers amongst ya) that will be CRUCIAL as to what BTC value we will take as benchmark.

Plus it looks like btc gods didn't like my idea of beating $6k mark this week with BTC heading SOUTH quite heavily this past few hours --

But let's see, there is still quite a few hours left, so the history is still open, folks

ah. okay. Thank u for clarification Jack.

and if I have any winnings I will be happy to play them at just one Slotland Casino. 

Thank you.

OH WOW, I didn't realize it was going to run till the years end!  

It's funny becuz I wanted so badly to be a nitpicker (lol), becuz all of a sudden something popped into my brain and i kept trying to put it into it's right perspective....So in my mind it's obsessing over and over and telling me "Oct. 18, wed.  @midnite," and i came up with the same conclusion becuz it was @ midnite that it turned wed. the 18th.. and honestly the only reason i was hoping it stopped then is becuz I would have had a great guess.. but now it's going down. i guessed 5598. I do remember something else though and it was somewhere in the rules or along the way about  "the amount on Wed. at the closing of the day",so i guess that would clarify it.. My math skills are messin with my head right now , but i'm thinking that's like 11:59 pm on wed. . Yeah that sounds right.. It's frustrating for you Jack and Blue, but hey it's basicaly just workin out the bugs... i just hope it goes up a little by 11:59 pm LOL ..  Thanks for everything you guys are doing for us.  The outcome doesn't matter because I have to be grateful and I want you guys to know it. Positive reinforcement  motivates you to hang in there and kinda make up for any kinda negativity in each of our days.  So as long as I am here I will always try to show that I am grateful becuz u guys don't have to go above and beyond, but u choose to!!!!  P.S. i was just going to wait it out and then when someone else mentioned it , I thought I would put my  2 cents in..Call me "nitpicker" now..LOL                   

MODIFYING AGAIN!!!!   I am sorry for this post becuz i only based it on the one that i put as the quote... well when I finished this post i realized it was already clarified above in like 3 posts..So I am sorry for the repitition.. well i will still get my  .10 or  .20 to my acct. for a post lol   good thing for you guys at LCB that we don't get paid more by the length of our posts..HAHA

I can't beleive how much and how fast and so inconsistently the value is changing ..up and down, up and down.. OMG...that's my life I just described and now i'm torturing myself by checking coinbase every 20 min.. i'm exaggerating.. maybe every 2 hrs.

it's time everybody.........

Tick Tock....Tick Tock...

5620......I think

Slotland Please Jack....when u get here.

thanks

congrats to all

May I just comment here... And say... 

Woohoo!!! 

Made the closest 6!

Think I'm 4th.

woo hoo is definitely called for!

 I think I'm in there  too...WOOOO HHOOOOO!!

in there?....you won lady.unless someone else had some secret guess jack did not list on his post showing all of our guesses.

congrats!

well i love your post with the clock and even the amount at that time..I'm in Cali so i get confused on the time.. i saw it and thought YES !!! If thats what it was then  I did win but before i get too crazy i figured i would wait for the official...YEAH  your update was awesome.. Congrats to you too and LET'S PLAY!!!!!!

  Well, Jack, I must have slept the wrong day/night.time zone, etc. whatever. I think I am in, for at least one of the last two spots, maybe not. I am so lost in time. I have no ideas why my mind was set on October 18th 12:00am, basically waiting for Tues, October 17th at 11:59pm.. Had that been the case, I was very close to the top. At one time, only $.92 off. That's how I won the last two times, not expecting or expecting a different outcome.  But it is clear now.

Thank you Jack, here is an aspirin for your headache, too.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

AND WE HAVE A LOT OF WEEKS FOR  MORE WINNING CHANCES

" My main problem is, that I keep loosing and would love to cashout sometime"

Congrats to the winners... But just stay sharp cause I'm coming for you next week!..

Hey - Congratulations to everyone and this was an interesting "Lottery" with the way the btc rates fluctuated.  I think almost all of us could have been winners.

If I've understood the previous posts, Jack is using coinbase BTC price at midnight on Wednesday from the various posts on here.  I'm not 100% sure but it looks like $5627.85 is where its at [unoffically].  Does this appear correct?

Yes. I believe that's exactly what this promo rule says:

2. Members can take part repeatedly every calendar week, but only ONE prediction per each calendar week is allowed.

right, Leon21?!

Hey guys,

Looks like the time came to wrap up the third weekly round of Bitcoin value predicting contest, hoping you're getting better grasp of this whole thing with each new round. But hey, we'll get there eventually, right?!

Alright, so let me just pro forma repeat what THIS round was all about:

YOU had a whole last week, ranging Mon-Sun from OCT 9 - OCT 15, to estimate a FUTURE value of Bitcoin AT THE CLOSING OF THE DAY* of this past WEDNESDAY OCT 18, or in other words, Wednesday midnite.
*/ kudos to roxcbrown for trying to help me at all costs, much appreciated ;)

Checking on Coinbase, I see that $5,627.85 was the number that you were all chasing, some $800+ over last week's figure, marking a nice increase for all bitcoin HODLers:

So who nailed it closest this time??

1st prize of $250 goes to roxcbrown with a difference of $29.85
2nd prize of $125 goes to Simple222 aka Danny420 with a difference of $72.85
3rd prize of $50 goes to cheztwins aka msbecky@wad with a difference of $128.15
4th prize of $50 goes to drjugz aka JUGGAGROOVES2 with a difference of $147.15
5th prize of $50 goes to 2Late4Me aka SharonD1960 with a difference of $155.28

@drjugz: ping me when bonus balance empty

Congrats to the winners, good luck for the next OCT25 round!

Cheers Jack

An obligatory follow up to give you WHAT and WHEN for this ongoing round --

So this week you're supposed to come up with your estimate of future Bitcoin value on Wednesday midnite (or 23:59), OCTOBER 25 at Coinbase.

The CUT-OFF TIME for your guestimates is this Sunday midnight EST (23:59), OCTOBER 22, after which no new predictions will be accepted for this round.

And just if some were still wondering -- YES, you can take part AGAIN even if you already guessed in the past weeks, whether winning a prize or not.

ARE WE THERE YET??

Haha, just kidding, ofc. Wishing you luck!

Congrats guys! You were great! 

Thanks Jack! 

Hey MelissaN,

I agree the crowd is getting a hold of this -- AT LAST let me add <evil grin>.

NP, always happy to oblige --

Just a bit surprised we don't see half of LCB forum hovering around. No one interested in juicy bitcoin related contests these days?? It almost looks like we might need a magic PUSH-PUSH-PUSH.

Now whaddya say, sista'?

You are right! Maybe they're shy or they simply don't like orange! LOL!

I'm sure there will be more and more participants! They are smart and waiting for the right moment! 

Yep, magic PUSH PUSH is coming from my end! 

Right! Certain Donald John totally ruined the perception of orange. It will take decades for the poor color to fully recover --

YA DA STARR!!

p.s. Alrighty--trying a DIFFERENT approach next time. Let's see how that goes --

Try purple or blue next time! 

Thank you Jack and Melissa for such a great contest. Jack it is getting better, at least this week there were more participants and less chaos.

AND I HAVE AN IDEA FOR THE BITCOIN ENLIGHTENING PUSH-PUSH.  It's just a thought!

*KEEP THE CONTEST BANNER POST ON THE HEADLINES OR AT THE TOP OF THE MAIN PAGE. 

OH AND DON'T FORGET TO ADD THE $250 & $125 PRIZES, and maybe "ALL PRIZES  NOT LESS THAN $50"

Nice, same as mine!! Def gotta try that one then

TY for stealing it from my lips, 2Late4Me, couldn't say it any better!

Plus thanks for your recommendations to spread the fame of this contest as well. Let's see how BIG push we possibly get from the mighty LCB gods. AND godesses --

Fingers crossed!!

And if that does not work in a couple of weeks, I'm sure there are some of our winners that may have an exciting winning cashout (NOT ME, OR NOT YET) story or  an outstanding review. Although, I have not seen any yet. Hopefully there will be some this go around.  Trust me, i'm going to try very hard with my $50 this time. Or might punish myself for 3 day no play until Sunday, only to place my entry. I will have my angels with me this time.  Okay good luck! Gotta Go! Slotland is calling me.

Thank you MELISSA N and JACK as always... your time and dedication is greatly appreciated.. I am so happy to take 1st becuz on Sun. my son and daughter came by and we decided to go to San Manuel Indian Casino.. Like 30 min. from here. They dropped me off and i left my phone in her car.  I was devastated(lol) cuz i couldn't log into coinbase. I wanted to see the chart.  I thought a little bit and just threw out my no. AND i got home like 10:30 my time so I was afraid I blew it, but it was still open!! The next day I realized you can see the charts without logging in.  i have a few bucks in my account and havent picked up my phone yet, either..oh well .. P.S. KUDOS BACK AT YA JACK !!!

I SEE YOUR FRUSTRATION and YOUR PATIENCE , TOO...I'TS AWESOME!!!!! REMEMBER IT'S JUST  A LITTLE "WORKING OUT the BUGS.."

CONGRATS TO ALL WINNERS!!! 

ROXCBROWN

if you want more members wanting to win Bitcoin you should push slotland and winaday to offer INSTANT BTC cashouts. instant cashouts is actually why I play Bitcoin as a USA player there is NOWHERE ELSE you can get an instant cashouts. 

seriously ....get SL and WAD onboard and you will see your BTC players increase EEXPONENTIALLY. At a minimum you'll get a huge wave of USA players that are likely spending their Bitcoin at a casino in the Starz. ;)

just a thought.
