hustler1984 Posted December 18, 2018 #1 Posted December 18, 2018 i think it would be a great feature to also show the usd value for your crypto next to your bet and your balance. i love this feature on the other sites i llay on.
badger Posted December 18, 2018 #2 Posted December 18, 2018 I could be wrong, and I probably am, but I dont think it is in a sites best interest to display their balance amount in usd or any currency. When people can see how much actual money they have, as opposed to not seeing anything but a btc figure, they sometimes think of what they could buy or bills they could pay, knowing what the real value of what they have at any given time, which makes it easier to stop and wd. Good idea, but it wont happen.
chrisconn63 Posted December 18, 2018 #3 Posted December 18, 2018 i actually have thought of this many many times before and i love the idea. would be so helpful!
irawk0 Posted December 18, 2018 #4 Posted December 18, 2018 This was suggested last year and Dan liked it and forwarded to higher-ups. Not sure where it went after I fully support this as well actually.
zeriko Posted December 18, 2018 #5 Posted December 18, 2018 Probably won't happen.. it's the same reason casinos give u chips to play with.. it feels like a game. When real money is involved it make a u second guess more often and u might choose to not play and this will lose the house money .

williamshennie9 Posted January 11, 2019 #7 Posted January 11, 2019 Some people view bitcoin as a main currency, so the US dollar amount is irrelevant to them. To me, the $ amount is useless, I convert BTC to my home currency. It is up to you to convert on google, or using the !cv function on the chat bot.
catheyar Posted January 11, 2019 #8 Posted January 11, 2019 nice idea to control our bet from the current crypto price
Kjaka Posted January 15, 2019 #9 Posted January 15, 2019 How about having a balance of total usd or maybe even for each coin on our account? I would really love to avoid calculating every coin separately whenever I want to see my balance on usd. I know u can calculate it easily on chat but still, I think it would be very nice to see it somewhere on stake. What do you all think?

USD value of cryptos changes constantly. I think its a great view just like what you mentioned, but on a developer's perspective, I think it is not really necessary, as we have bots that accepts conversion to USD command and vice versa.
Computer Posted January 15, 2019 #12 Posted January 15, 2019 its nice idea everyone know how much value bet before someone placing in usd.
bmg Posted January 15, 2019 #13 Posted January 15, 2019 I think it should be displayed with the value of usd next to your current btc balance. Anyway, i think it's a great idea.
wngo123 Posted January 16, 2019 #14 Posted January 16, 2019 I like the idea. wish we could switch from usd to other currencies as well, so the balance and specific bet would display in the currency of our choice.
FotisNt Posted January 16, 2019 #15 Posted January 16, 2019 Hey, I've thought of it so many times as well! It would be a really useful feature. Also I would like to add that it would be a even better if we could see our balances or bets displayed on any currency which everyone likes and prefers.
Paecga129 Posted January 16, 2019 #16 Posted January 16, 2019 Nice idea ! I am so used to crypto though I think I might get confused !
williamshennie9 Posted January 16, 2019 #17 Posted January 16, 2019 If people saw how much they were gambling in USD, they would not be as inclined to place bets. For example, I made 2 bets of 0.4 ETH. If I saw the USD amount for that, I would have never placed those bets.

Good idea, but it wont happen. for the individuals / players on the site - not stake's bankroll although i have seen other sites boasting their bankroll- which is always of some curiousity to the player, I am sure.
Kate Posted January 27, 2019 #19 Posted January 27, 2019 Before you play you should read that stake is a crypto gambling site not a usd gambling site if you want you can search google for sites where the balance and everything is shown in usd when you gamble and you gamble usd
Moderator hanvee Posted February 2, 2019 Moderator #20 Posted February 2, 2019 i love this idea, it would be nice if site update usd display bet, ...or i just need like auto convert everytime you click into it...

There was times I didn't cashout on 0.01 or 0.02 btc while I was kinda greedy and I forgot to check those amounts on EUR. Also many dumb bers were made due to this aswel. Guess that reason is in the top of people's mistakes.

Guess that reason is in the top of people's mistakes. It is the same reason that casinos use chips and not cash. If people put down $1000 in notes, they would think twice before betting. When they use chips, they just tend to forget how much they are actually gambling.
ivaylo2000 Posted February 3, 2019 #23 Posted February 3, 2019 This was great idea. I vote for it too.

Good idea, but it wont happen. I totally get your POV that if this feature was implemented, would not prove to be in a site’s best interests. Pondering why Stake’s competitors have decided to implement such a feature got me thinking a bit further on the possible positives of this - Not sure if I’m on the right path but these establishments (especially if new & establishing player base) may value a player’s trust and confidence more than let’s say, extorting the players through their own non-realisation, leading to a short business relationship and an even faster fold lol. Not sure of the other positives though... 🤯
Bigmann23 Posted February 4, 2019 #25 Posted February 4, 2019 I find it just odd that US players are not allowed to play here but every one still wants to know what thier coin is worth in USD. What does it matter what a coins worth is in a currancy of a country that is not allowed on the site.
