Yes, i believe that if one country is famous for some sports, it does not mean that the neighboring countries should play and take interest in the same sports. You have mentioned a good example of Saudi Arab here who often qualify for the Fifa Men's world cup but we haven't seen neighboring countries line india, pakistan or bangladesh ever qualified for the fifa WC.
I don't think the Indian, Pakistani or Bangladesh even participate in big football tournaments - although youngsters are interested in football in subcontinent but that is more glamorous and yo yo approach- kids are getting to lazy and not much in sports rather they prefer playing play station rather than running in the ground and doing daily sports. |

I don't believe in gambling that takes a huge amount of their hot wallet just to sponsor a promotional project unless the team is planning on developing its native token and even at that the team needs to have available funds to keep the players serviced at all time. I will rather play in a casino that offers the players various promotion and not taking huge amount to pay promotional materials that are outside the casino.
With the passage of time - as I am getting old - I find ads and advisement very annoying. The ads and bonuses are more attractive to newbie and beginners and not the serious and senior players. So I think it depends on the target audience. |

Yeah, Pakistan is well known for its all form of bowlers. Each bowler too have some names to mention their bowling. For Shoaib Akhtar it is Rawalpindi Express. Young players are much in Pakistan, but very few gets the opportunity. I believe there are more academies for cricket, but what is necessary is the playing experience against a team than the net practice. Right now they've got PSL which will surely make more young players shine for Pakistan. PSL can bring a positive change in identifying new talents and it is evident in the IPL, there are bowlers who i am seeing for the first time who is bowling at really good pace and i usually do not watch the IPL but this year i am watching most of the matches because i entered the competition here and placing bet on matches. ~
Abdul Qadir, Saqlain, Mushtaq, Wasim etc were lucky enough to play cricket before the era of this technology and Big-3. Now only players of small boards action are reported, you will never see any talented bowler from big 3 getting banned. Now there is need to have some sort of guidance during initial days of bowler to report his action. Abdul Qadir and Mushtaq Ahmed are leg spinners and no one could throw a ball bowling leg spin and hence no complaints can be raised even if you wanted and Wasim Akram was a fast bowler who never faced any controversy in his bowling action rather he was praised for his skill level globally. I am not sure which of your favorite players were reported for illegal action  . I think in modern time when there is such a huge media coverage - and the time which is called an era of social media. Celebrities are very conscious and they try to keep themselves away from controversies because the news spread like a wild fire. With this we hear less controversial news about celebrities. |

Here's some similar scenario but this one only talks about 35 BTC. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1340581.0It was on Rollin.io which is already dead or down as of this moment.Nothing on this world is unhackable no matter how tough the security would be. But in the case of the casino, once it's hacked that's the end of that casino, only big casinos offer refunds or protect their player's money compared to exchanges where they can do a refund and insured their trader's money, I don't think there's the same guarantee that they can offer that they will do a refund. I think the main reason why casinos fail after a big hack is that they lose the trust of their customers, even if there was a big hack as long as a business still retained their customers somehow then a path to recovery exists, but many players when they see that their preferred casino has been hacked even if they were not affected they are going to be reluctant to play there anymore, which causes casinos to definitely close their doors. Is there any website which is so secure which has not has gone through any vulnerabilities in the past? If there is any people might use those websites only rather than being the victim of the hacks and social issues. I think there well be none. |

There is good news for people who want to learn about BlackJack. Quoted from GamblingInsider.com on this article, OnlineGambling.com provides eight seasons of video courses to help novice players to become "experts" in the game of BlackJack. This course is provided free of charge and can be watched online for those who want to dive into Mathieu Blake's BlackJack game. The BlackJack players may know who Mathieu Blake is known as Mr. BlackJack. He will guide players from beginners to experts in his videos. Do you often watch videos like this to improve your skills in playing BlackJack or other card games? Or do you feel so confident in your abilities that you don't need such video courses? Here is the link to the video course https://www.onlinegambling.com/blackjack/academy/course-plan/Maybe there are many videos like the video above that we can watch to become a pro in BlackJack. I was surprised by the very high quality of this training. And I'm not talking about a lot of knowledge described here, but also about the very high level of this video. It rarely happens that someone does such training for free. It's a really good job and I recommend to everyone (even those who don't like Black Jack) to watch this video. Me too - I am impressed too. The video are very professional - I watch the videos when I have some free time. I was not much interested in Black Jack but I liked and enjoyed watching the video.. Good for everyone! |

We must teach our children the value of time, money and effort. Otherwise they can fall into wrong path easily and it might be damage their next 5-10-15 and even their life. Gambling is required some kind of patience and intelligence skills luck isnt enough only.
I am not sure about other community - but in our community parents have a very strict check on their kids. Even if kids play adult games they do it in hidden. But replying to OP - I think the mobile phone and internet time should be controlled. Giving kids freedom of everything is inviting trouble! |

In this case gambling sites either sports-books or casino will be affected on those country which countries will follow this rule and also the advertiser company, celebrities will also face problem on those country. But those countries which will not allow this rule, will not affect on the users of those country, advertiser of those country and celebrities of those countries.
Ideal is only those not related into crypto gambling like the celebrities of course their manager will accept the offer for their agents just to earn money but with the sports gambling and sports known person it's hard to remove them because they are the image of the sports and of course many people supporting the sports events. To the sports image personalities don't want to lose their reputation too if the gambling platform has issues. It seems the casinos need to find other celebrities from different countries than before so they can keep using celebrities in their promotions and don't have to worry about breaking the rules. Changing the promotion ways is something that the casino should do if the casino wants to keep using celebrities to help it promote itself. If not, they will find another way that might be more appropriate than before. Maybe we will see something else from the casino in the promotion. I am not sure where parents insist their kids to gamble? In our culture it is serious issue and its illegal as well. On a side not would you like your kids to gamble? But celebrities are very influential people they are wise enough to chose what not to promote |

Just heard about the decision from ICC to grant direct entry to the United States cricket team for the 2024 T20 World Cup. What sort of sham is this? The US cricket team doesn't have any native players and all of them are expats. On top of that, they lost out to more qualified teams when they played in the 2021 qualifier tournament. Why the ICC is hell bent on promoting these undeserving teams, when more deserving teams like Nepal and Namibia are being robbed of the opportunities. Now matter how hard they try, the Americans are not going to take cricket seriously as long as there are no natives in the team.
Yes they are getting direct entry since they are co hosting world cup along with WIndies. The theory is same icc just want to include big powers in the game not the talented one like Nepal and Namibia. In USA I think players are native I guess since USA grant citizenship to anyone who is born there. Many South Asia families are living there for decades. Let's see how USA perform. I think that many Indians and Asians live in the United States and it won't be difficult for United States to develop a team containing the Asian players who are used to playing cricket. Anyways if united states start to play cricket then we may see another teams from north and south America showing their interest in this sport. Well - USA is very strict about visa policy and most of the cricket fans who love going to the stadium might not be able to go there. Incase anyone is planning to go the states in 2024 they should start filling application now. Because I was trying to get interview date from Nov last year and the first date for interview is in March 2023. Lot of Rush - so be prepared, earlier the better. |

I think people are right to criticise Bangladesh for this poor performance, because they gave away 29 wickets to the African spinners and there’s no justification for the way they played in the second innings. Also Bangladesh can learn a lot from this defeat and work on improving their game, because I feel with some more efforts they can improve their overall game and provide tough challenge to their opponents. People may be right or wrong in criticising Bangladesh but Bangladesh are in no mood of learning anything from there mistakes. They need to build a strong domestic infrastructure which can produce quality players from grass root level. You can only have a strong team if your domestic setup has quality FC or list A games Bangladesh is a progressive country - but I don't know why the team is not coming up to the people's expectations? You have well stated that they are not ready to learn from their mistakes and the performance is going down like never before. Time to serious learn from the mistakes and move a head. |

Yeah please do so in a jiffy OP Its best things are moved and done in an orderly manner. Brazil Denmark and Poland are my favorites. Brazil can do this once more. Can we add some interesting facts about the palyers as well here? Because the match is far ahead and we cannot come to make an assumption only here. But let me make my bet. And I bet on Senegal. Is there ay website where we can do so as well and win some extra bucks. |

Pakistan had a lot of fast bowlers that were very good at their work. But the problem is they got engaged with a lot of shady business and that obviously cost them a lot and also it cost some players their careers. But Pakistan still has a legacy and a lot of youngsters are really motivated by that. And the past situation has also changed for India because now they also have a good bowling attack.
Pakistani cricket team strength is Bowling and of course not batting. And its the same way even if we go down to memory lane. We know great bowlers like Waqar and Waseem and then we had Shoaib Akhtar and now we have Shaheen Shah. But in recent matches some good batting partnership is seen among Babar Azam and Inam ul Haq. |

This is the good way... Try to explore by yourself and share it with other this will really helpful for you and for community. The virus is not going anywhere in next couple of years. People have learnt the ways to live with it. But at least Thank God. These virus variants no longer exist in Pakistan anymore. May God keep our country safe from all kind of "BEMARIs". Ameen |

In last one decade Pakistan suffers badly due to terrorism issues and unable to play at home which hurts them very badly otherwise Pakistan is still top ranked team in test history with their overall percentage now after successful tour of Australia we can say they will do some better and take higher rank in ICC test ranking which could be third or fourth is surely in near future which could be increased after some good number of matches.
But, if someone says Pakistan is not good test side it's his own view without checking all details about test history and their record because Pakistan is fourth-best test playing cricket side in test history.
Recently we have some good decline in test matches which is surely hurting few countries because ICC is never been a good sports authority which can handle this all fairly, so it's beneficial for few countries so if they manage for all then surely we can expect some good results from other countries as well.
Despite no cricket at home grounds for almost a decade Pakistan still manages to attract Australia at home. I know its hard for few people to digest this fact that Pakistan is one of best side despite losing the test series 1-0 to top team like Australia. Its just one series, give Pakistan home series like other countries are having and then say they are not among top teams. I agree with you. These series and matches have Brought a fresh wave in the country and Aussie enjoyed it as much as Pakistani enjoyed it. I used to go to the tweeter accounts of the player to read banners made by the spectators - It was fun and I really enjoyed it. |

On your own prediction, whom do you think will win the tournament and carry the Golden Cup?
If this is the question of who will bring the champions 1,2 and 3 in the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar, which is scheduled to take place 21 Nev, I think this question is too early to answer, because it is currently still in the qualifying round. As in the current list of countries qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, it has reached 29 countries, there are still 3 more slots that are still up for grabs at this time out of a total of 32 countries. I think France, Germany, Spain, Croatia are also good teams and they have qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, for now, Honestly, I don't dare to answer at this time, because the tournament hasn't started yet who will enter the top 10 and so on. Maybe, if the tournament is already underway and has entered the top 10, I will answer here, who is most likely to win 1,2 and 3 champions. I agree with you - it's too early to predict the winners at that stage when the matches will start in November. Also there is a change needed in OP - the poll can be created so that people can easily vote for their favorite team. For me - Portugal is my favorite. |

Damn you Bangladesh!! This is the second time Saffa's spin duo knocked you out cheaply, what happened to you guys? Australia and South Africa are bossing the point table, South Africa still has 2 tough series away from home but 1 easy series at home against Windies. India and Pakistan walking on tightrope. https://i.imgur.com/W1Cq24h.jpgDisappointing performance from Bangladesh in second innings. They have players in their team that can easily take score to 200 atleast but they are failing to reach double figure's. Only two South African bowlers were enough to uproot whole Bangladeshi team. do you know that cricket game is one of difficult game so far in sports, Bangladesh team did perform well does show that they don't know what they are doing because i know that games are not play to be like that but at most failures pay visit to match you know fully well that your supporter will win. The disappointment you have for the team is not constant, i hope you know Bangladesh always remains the target of criticism. I think they need a little moral boosting as well. Every time they loose a match they are under serious pressure of criticism from all around. They came to the field a bit later than other team. They need time as well to be considered as an experienced team. |

In 2024, the United States and West Indies will host the T20 World Cup. The US will be hosting its first ever World Cup. It has been confirmed by the ICC that USA will qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup automatically as co-hosts with the West Indies. Hosting was the only way for them to qualify. The USA needs to develop a good cricket team that can compete. I'm sure it will be filled with expats. Cricket in North America will benefit from it.
Is this joke or something that USA will host the ICC cricket world cup. How can they host a world cup when they have no proper cricket team? The only reason for this is that ICC want cricket to flourish in the US and they choose the most wired way. Do you know any cricket stadiums in the US? I have never witnessed any international cricket match being played in that country  OH OH - interesting news. What is the source - I am very sure people will be very excited to go to USA to watch World Cup. I wish I get a chance to fly there to watch the matches. But you are right how can they host if there is no American team . Point to think on! |

I think The problem with most subcontinent women's cricket teams is that they are just a little fond of ease. And that is a big barrier that they will have to overcome if they want to play at the top level of women's cricket.
I won't comment on other subcontinent teams but Indian women team is not professional unit at all barring few players. They are laid back and more interested in Saas-bahu type of drama, where senior players try to pull down talented young girls and don't give them much chances. When some coach interfere or try something new, they gang up against the coach too. I am 100% with you- that sas baho problem and that gossipe culture is in the blood of the sub continents people. They have so much time and energy to concentrate on all that. Looking at the people of west who are more focused on the work they are doing at the time. There is a lack of professionalism in sub continents teams . Which is one of the reasons of their failure. |

In theory I would expect that more promotions and special offers are attracting more customers short term. There should be a strong correlation between a new promotion and higher traffic at a casino. But some of this traffic will probably disappear when the promotion ends. Whereas higher RTP games should keep a higher percentage of the gamblers at the casino. In case the casino has a certain amount of money than can give back to the gamblers either through promotions or RTP, then the casino needs to find the right mix between the two. The thing is that a change in RTP might not really be noticed by the individual gambler. Let's say that the casino changes it RTP from 95% to 96%. It's a big step for the casino, but for the average gambler it only makes a small difference. That's why I prefer to use promotions, here you know exactly what you get and it makes it easier to plan ahead.
This is an interesting insight. Personally, I think greater RTP is more sensible over spending on promotions, especially if a casino or a gambling website is already well known. But now that you've mentioned it, I agree that promotions can be useful to increase the traffic in a site which is of importance to this kind of industry to determine whether it is worth it or not. I guess the gambling sites should really get the balanced and perfect mixed combinations of both to really achieve their desired result in both garnering new players and at the same time, retaining those existing players on their site. Perhaps these promotions such as collaborations, partnerships, and the likes really matter in terms of marketing to gain more new players. Although they should still not overspend on it because excessive funding of promotion could compromise their services offered without them noticing. Are their instructors who help people how to gamble or is it a self learning process? If its a self learning process then people would rather promotion at early level of their gambling and later the same promotion will be unbearable for them. |

Nailed it. Be it on stage or off stage. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Be it done in front of everyone or be it done in private. Also, as mentioned by other member, that his personal life was affected. We never know what a person is going through. Let’s forgive him
I guess we won't see him again in this kind of awarding ceremony since the comitte has already passed their judgement on him. That's just how you act when you see your wife's reaction when she got bullied, not everyone can restrain their anger when it comes to this situation. Like you said, we should forgive him and move on after all, we are all human being who are not perfect. This is already expected after Will Smith made a big scene at the OSCARS event, that made him banned in the next awarding ceremony. But considering his side, i guess people should not judge him all in negative way because somehow, Chris Rock has become very insensitive too that he was able to bully Will's wife without considering that she might be having a serious health issues. And here's Will Smith to the rescue, losing his patience, finally gave Chris the consequence of his own joke. We have not discussed anything a part from WillSmith and Chris Rock incident - does anyone know Dune has won the best film award too and that is one wonderful piece of art as well. A must watch if you get a chance and time~ |
