1081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏏🏏 Mutual betting & MutiBet IN SAME MATCH discussion & active Markets 🏆 on: November 23, 2019, 07:37:08 AM
@Royse, looks like the Multibet didn't attract much interest, maybe not everyone discussing in the Cricket discussions is an active gambler (including me). Maybe you'll have to open up for the Football lovers
I missed the multibet thread while scrolling down as i thought both will be in one thread if not i would have tried that too even thought i am not great in wagging a multi bet in a single event.

It's day 3 stump and there's a good chance of being drawn. NZ still on 4 wickets in hand while the lead is very low. I guess they will have some good time since they have set batsman although batting on 4th day is much hard. Anyway, it's after all going to be a drawn. Akhjob is the only man. Big pool  Cheesy
With the way the match is going the match is likely going to be a draw and i went with New Zealand to win the match but glad that England is not winning either as i am supporting New Zealand to win the series  Wink.

What is left to predict in this match? Two very one sided matches going on right now. India cruising towards an innings win in two days against Bangladesh, and at the same time Australia looks all set to defeat Pakistan by an innings at the Gabba. The only match that is worth watching right now is the England vs New Zealand test which is ongoing at Mount Maunganui.
It is true that only one match is interesting to watch as New Zealand does have the opportunity to level the scores against England but the rest of the matches are one sided, but despite that i was thrilled to watch Indian pace bowlers tearing away oppositions in India and i have not seen a performance like this from the pace bowlers where the spinners does not even have a role in which they decimated Bangladesh.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, bitcoin will not be used as money on any significant scale.   Why would people use a crypto backed by NOTHING Huh?  If I wanted a crypto currency, I would use a Gold backed or other real asset backed crypto.  Central banks are buying GOLD in record amounts, what is Bitcoin backing with Huh  Nothing...
I accept one thing that with the current echo system and development bitcoin cannot be used for micro payments but since you are asking here about what is the backing in bitcoin, it is the amount of money people inject in the market and the hard investment is the backing, since you have a hard on for gold, what is gold, it is just a shiny metal and nothing else and you think that it will have value Roll Eyes.

I really used my earnings in cryptocurrency in my daily life because using crypto helps me to have a better income, that is why it is the reason why i don't need to ask money from my parents because i have my  invome to provide the things that i wanted and needed.
There are two types of worlds, a world where everyone spent crypto on a daily basis through merchants and the other where they earn the bounties and convert it to fiat and making a living and you are saying that the you are earning an income through it but unless you are running a business how come you are able to make an income with crypto. I understand that the market is giving you the freedom but make sure you understand the core of what the market is all about.

I saw a lot of politicians here in my country with worst than gambling, but they still won the election no matter what. So it really depends on the candidate itself, it people see that you can bring something new in the table, then people are going to elect you, no matter what your past is, even a frequent gambler.
Politics is a big gamble and they are risking small and making a lot of money and this is what politicians usually does, the amount of money they spent to lure the voters will pale in comparison to the amount of money they will loot when they come into power and hence i consider it is a gamble as they are gambling on the aspect that they will be winning.
I am not a big time gambler and hence there is nothing wrong in having a bit of fun now and then.

Naseem Shah bowls 20 Noballs in two sessions not given by Umpires | Australia vs Pak 1st test day 2
May be the umpire felt like he wont be getting time to take a good look at the appeals if he takes a look at the no ball line because Naseem shah was bowling at good pace  Cheesy, twenty no balls and getting away with it is a record as i have not seen anything like this earlier and with all the technologies available for the umpires and still they miss these is ridiculous.

All tickets are sold already for first 4 days.
Bangladesh is trying their best to put some runs on the board so that the people who took tickets for the first 4 days will get the opportunity to come to the stadium Cheesy.

I checked out Reddit's reward option today and I noticed that they do not have Bitcoin as a payment option. Do you think they should add Bitcoin
The admin determines what they want to add if the reddit admin is getting too much request to add bitcoin as the mode of payment i am sure he will consider that and if you ask me for the choice i would say i would like all the major online store to start accepting bitcoin because of the ease of use and having the pseudo privacy you needed when you are dealing online as i do not trust entering by credit card details for every purchase but i would gladly pay using bitcoin.

Sourav Ganguly first gig turning out to be good for Test cricket so far, he left no stone unturned for this. Inviting Bangladesh's Hon. PM Sheikh Hasina along with first test team of Bangladesh. i really hope after this he will take care of spectators concerns regarding stadium facilities etc.
So BCCI is inaugurating the day night Test match with a bang and there is a reason for that, if the match could attract the audience interest which they are looking for and it will become a grand success in the grant scheme of things then we might see day night matches quite often and their main focal point will be TRP rating and stadium audience.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 21, 2019, 10:32:28 AM
A T20 or one day might be won single handed but a test match cannot be won alone. Even if Rizwan was batting well, yet the whole team got out on 240. This means that even if he remained not out, the team could have scored on 30-40 more runs. You should give credit to the Australian players who are continuing their good form in this test too.
You cannot predict the outcome of a wicket as we have seen some surprising match winning innings in the past and if the Pakistan bowlers can restrict the Australian batsman then it will be an interesting match and these 30 to 40 runs might be a huge difference. With the technology in place the umpires need to check the decisions if they are not hundred percent certain and in this case Cummins bowled a no ball and no one rectified that and the third umpire was chilling at that time  Cheesy.
1090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Abu Dhabi T10 League 2019 on: November 20, 2019, 10:47:45 AM
T20 leagues are not always profit making propositions. For example, the Global T20 Canada is rumored to have caused huge losses for both the Canadian cricket board and the franchise owners. And from what I have heard, the Mzansi Super League of South Africa is also running at a loss. T20 leagues are propping up all over the world, but you can't expect all of them to be profitable like the Indian Premier League or the Big Bash League. IN countries where the population is low (such as West Indies and New Zealand), it is going to be difficult.
The main reason is the saturation of tournaments and leagues around the world, IPL started this frenzy and India is a cricket crazy nation and you will find audience for majority of the sporting events and if there are more leagues and if you expect audience to turn out for every match then you might get disappointing, and may be these countries are trying to come up with T20 leagues to replicate the football leagues around the world Cheesy.

Although you are partially correct that NZ is good at their home ground, I disagree that England players can't stay longer time in the crease. I think they have some good test players but bad luck that they are not consistent.
Anyway, NZ will be favorite here of course.
If you compare the players in both the teams, Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls and Kane Williamson are performing consistently for New Zealand in Test matches and you cannot point one player who is consistent for England, Ben Stokes is a good player but he cannot win all the matches, Joe Root was not performing well in Test matches either, the main advantage is Jofra Archer who is playing in his first away match.

I don't understand why NZ are favorites here. Their morale would be down after the World Cup and T-20 series blunders this year which is why England will probably win this one too since 2019 is their year after all.
They have a really strong team in Test matches and hence they are the favorites while England needs to rediscovery their test combination.

Will probably be joining the pool soon though I think there is still a good amount of time left since the NZ vs ENG test begins on 21st. I think I might go with England on this one due to their recent victories.
England does not have a good Test team as all the players are having good strike rate and they are yet to prove that they can stay in the crease for a long time and New Zealand is a much stronger team at home and hence i am confused whom to support and wage a bet in this match.

@Royse777 there is no multiple bets in this match in the betting pool.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 19, 2019, 05:51:44 PM
There is not much that the board can do (WICB). Their financials are very limited and they can't splurge all of the funds that come from the ICC on the international players. If they do that, then the domestic cricket will suffer and it will create problems in the future. They need to allow players such as Russell and Pooran to play the T20 leagues and cut a deal with them so that they will be available for the world cup.
So are you telling that they are not making any revenue on their own and all the funds they are getting are from the ICC which is strange, there is no point in restricting the players in playing different leagues to make money but there should be available to play in major series, the main players can rest against small teams but when they are playing top ranked teams i think they will have their full strength squad.

Do you think this is true?  Sure would feel like Christmas.
No one is able to predict the price of bitcoin in a short period of time let alone forecasting the future price  Roll Eyes, i did not expect the price to go down this much in the past few days and now we might see the price of bitcoin going down below $8k and i bet no one could have predicted those and as long as no one is able to predict those minor movements i can bet that nothing happens on 11/21 .
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Abu Dhabi T10 League 2019 on: November 19, 2019, 04:10:11 PM
Though the game would surely develop new batting and bowling skills as batsmen would devise new ways to hit the boundary while bowler would test their temper and on not letting the batsmen score.
Earlier the batsman needs some time to settle in the crease and if you are playing these matches there is no time to settle as you need to hit the ball from the first ball and it is not that easy and as a batsman you need to have a different mentality and bowlers will get frustrated but if you are bowling smartly mixing slow balls and varying pace then you can beat the batsman too, i saw today's match but the ground is almost empty and i do not understand how the organizers will recover the money they spent.

Ben Askren just announced he is retiring from MMA because of his hip issues
that requiere from him to perform hip replacement surgery!

All the best to Askren.
All the hype and trash talk just got derailed and he was not even able to showcase his skills in the biggest organisation and his desire to come back after retirement from OneFC and even before fighting the elight fighters he was making huge plans to capture the belt and facing GSP and Khabib at 165 and now he announced his retirement, i thought he will be able to have a good fight with someone as he was calling out everybody but nothing happened and now he is gone Roll Eyes.

Afghanistan didn't started well in the final T20 but Rahmanullah Gurbaz played an outstanding innings of 79 runs. They are looking to score above 150 runs and i think this will be enough for them to beat the West Indies. I do hope the young Afghanistan team can create an history today.
West Indies is still in the game as they have wickets in hand and Pollard is yet to come and they need  82 runs from 50 balls and it is a chase able score with the strikers West Indies has and if Afghanistan is not able to pick wickets now then it will be difficult to contain the runs.

Rashid Khan just took the wicket of Hetmyer and if they are able to pick one more wicket then it will put pressure on West Indies as the run rate will keep on increasing.

First T-20 and now T-10 leagues are more attractive and helpful for players just because of this now we have very less test lover batsmen and in near future are going to lost them like Caronlina Parrots because these short formats helps in finances and fitness and more players will love in future even ICC trying to save test match future which is very hard day by day.
There is no time for everyone to spend much time to watch sports as this is a really competitive world and it is good that the sport is evolving according to the situation and the fans are liking it and now a days you need extreme fitness to play these shorter format as you need to be a good fielder too as every runs counts and could impact the result.
1100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 17, 2019, 01:17:35 PM
As of now Indian team need to keep some players with the Test squad according to situation. Prithvi Shaw as back up opener, Hanuma Vihari for middle order or in some extent Shubham Gill, Pant as WC batsman and Kuldeep as spinner.
India can experiment and give opportunities for players especially openers and middle order players to have a good bench strength but that does not mean you should remove an inform player, if there is a slot when some player get injured they can try those players and if they are playing consistently then they will remain in the team, to get in the team now a days is really hard and the challenge to secure the spot is helping everyone to perform to their best.
