It's a heartbreak for Zimbabwe as they find themselves knocked out of the 2023 World Cup. Their dreams of making it to the main stage of the World Cup failed because of their two defeats. Zimbabwe played superb throughout the first half of the competition, leaving their fans hopeful and excited. However, in a must-win game, they failed, unable to get the victory over Scotland. It is such a disappointing turn of events for a team that had showcased such promise. Credit goes to Scotland for their impressive bowling display which that made all the difference.
It was a tragic result for Zimbabwe. This team has played very well in every match except the last two matches. But after Scotland set a target of 234 runs in today's match, I thought Zimbabwe would have no problem winning this match. Scotland's bowlers bowled brilliantly. As a result, the Zimbabwean players were behind from the beginning of the innings. Zimbabwe lost 4 wickets for just 37 runs. Zimbabwe lost because the top order did not play well. It was unknown to most of the spectators that the team would lose in such a manner in pursuit of an easy goal. Losing the match did not qualify them for the World Cup. They could not participate in the last World Cup and this time they had to lose. It's really sad for Craig Ervine. I considered Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe as favorites here but Sri Lanka confirmed their place but Zimbabwe were eliminated. Ryan Burl will remember this match more who was going to take the match towards the end but it didn't take long for the team to lost of wickets after his long batting halted the journey. |

My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities. Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.
If we don't do something at the right time then our situation may be different at some point. People's needs are increasing day by day. Moreover, it is not unusual to accept any undesirable situation. It is not unusual for those who have fixed salary jobs to run into major financial problems if their income is not regular. All of us should first of all keep our income stable through our job or any profession. If the income can be kept stable then any small matter can be solved easily. Of course every person should be given more importance about their income. |

People like to talk about themselves and how they struggle. Kind of normal I think they share how they suffer and survive, its how they voice out their feelings and the willing listeners and more willing to listen if they also encounter the same like the support groups. If they find ears here, it's still gonna help the person's feelings.
You can't stop anyone from badmouthing though. Even the saints will have people talking behind them. Even your siblings do that to you. You just have to get used to it. Not find it offensive anymore.
My classmates referred to me as an addicted gambler during my early gambling days, which infuriated me, but as time passed, I just let it go and discovered more meaningful things to do with my life other than settling and spending my precious time arguing about some unimportant concerns. Finding things offensive doesn't really matter; it's simply frivolous talk; at this point in my life, all I worry about is preparing and eventually attaining the objectives I have set. People will always talk, and the more we try to enforce or prohibit the badmouthing, the more it will persist; this is typical, therefore I consider it a minor concern. There are some people who try to offend others. If someone gets angry at that moment, those people will annoy him more. But those who can understand this matter deeply never show anger. They simply want to avoid the issue. There are also some gamblers who cannot easily identify themselves as addicted gamblers. When such accusations are brought against him, he will take the matter negatively. Above all it is better to take these things easily. |

I believe that in most countries the age limit of gambling is the same which is from 18,but nowadays people below this age do gamble in an offline casino and government don't care about doing their job. Two streets after mine is a Betking shop,I do see boys below 18 that are always there gambling and I begin to ask myself that where is the government. It is these same underage boys that will go and steal to gamble they are very much vulnerable to addiction. Likewise an online casino will be the same thing happening, fake information can be used for KYC.
Perhaps, that's true, but it's best to raise the minimum gambling age limit above 20 or 21 years. At 18, many young people still cannot think in an adult way and still follow their emotions. So if this continues, there is a possibility that many young people will lose control of themselves in gambling. But we know that children have started gambling with each other, and their parents don't know about it. And this depends on how the children get along. If they can keep themselves social, they will not try to gamble and will stay away from it. I agree with you that it is better to be 21 or more to gamble because gamblers of that age can control them self. But according to the current context that will not be possible because most of the youth of today start to consider themselves mature around 18 or 20 years. Moreover, most of the gamblers nowadays are relatively young. 20 years or 21 years are what I consider the perfect age for gambling. However, if casinos or gambling platforms do not allow gamblers under this age to gamble, then this age issue can be solved. |

ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier
Today is Super Six match between these two teams.
Netherlands vs Oman
The match is started now. Oman chose the field first. And Netherlands is playing now. Netherlands played one over and made only 3 runs in first over. In this match Netherlands is looking strong. So now we can't say anything. The end of the match will show everything. But I am in the favor of Netherlands due to its good performance.
Netherlands have a very good bowling performance due to which Oman team fell by four wickets. The team with a much lower run rate than the Netherlands team is not going forward with a very good performance. Oman team Ayaan Khan has reached the half-century mark often. And if Ayaan khan and Shoaib Khan can perform well then surely Oman team has a chance to win the top. Shoaib Khan must survive in the field if their pair survives then the game will be full of competition. Meanwhile, Netherlands have accumulated massive runs which have become a challenge for Oman to collect. Yes, in a word, today's match is completely under the possession of the Netherlands. The Netherlands cricket team has become deadly in both batting and bowling. Netherlands bowling is so strong that Oman cricket team batsmen are struggling to play. Especially Netherlands team bowler Aryan Dutt has performed the best bowling. Aryan Dutt managed to pick up 3 wickets for 31 runs in his 10 overs bowling.Oman's score so far in the second innings game, 246-6(44) Oman cricket team is going to lose today's match against Netherlands cricket team. The match was completely one-sided. Oman cricket team could not show any performance as expected against Netherlands bowling. Since the target was too high, they failed to present the normal game. The over was reduced due to rain otherwise Netherlands team could have added some more runs. Aryan Dutt and Ryan Klein took a total of 5 wickets. Meanwhile, the Oman team had completely collapsed. Netherlands get a big win by 74 runs. Apart from Ayaan Khan, no one from the Oman team could make a big score. Due to which the match had to be lost by a big margin. |

ACCEPTING THE RISK: You cannot be profitable if you do not know how to accept the risk, majority of people ignoring it and that is why they are keep losing. Be aware on how much money you can incur before the trade and in that way you can have an idea if the investment is worth it or not.
Many people want to get rich through investing. Some are ready to take maximum risk to get rich while others want to stay away from risk. Normally we get deep connection between risk and investment. There is no investment without risk. When an investor is able to take risk, he can be exposed to profit or loss. Those who can take more risk will also be able to gain more. But there is no assurance. Only those who patiently try to invest after taking risks can be succeed. Before taking risk, one must make a well-planned decision. |

So now we can't say anything. The end of the match will show everything. But I am in the favor of Netherlands due to its good performance.
Netherlands showed a devastating performance from the opening of the batting. Due to which they have been able to give a big target. The team managed to score 367 runs by batting 48 overs. Vikramjit Singh's 110 and Barresi's 97 contributed the most to the team's big score. A win against such a big score is a difficult challenge for any team. Oman team managed to score 131 runs losing 4 wickets. The team is quite behind in terms of wickets and runs. Currently Oman team's required run rate has reached 10. If they don't perform well at this point then there is a possibility of losing the match easily. |

Although England scored 2 more runs in the second innings than in the first innings, still I would say that England played better in the first innings than in the second innings. In the second innings, England's Ben Duckett and Ben Stokes, no other batsmen can bat well. It is not possible to win a match depending on the performance of only two batsmen. Like the first match, we did not get a good performance from the England batsmen in the second match as well. The England team is not as strong as it used to be in the Test format.
In the 2nd innings of the second test match England team players Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, Stuart Broad and Jonny Bairstow none of them performed well. In any team most of the players doesn't have any contribution then nothing shouldn't be expected in that match. None of the mentioned names could cover 15 runs. A good match between Ben Duckett and Ben Stokes raised hopes. But in the end they lost the match. Australia won the match by 43 runs in the 2nd Test. |

And when a player wins a big amount they can delay payment with the excuse of investigating the win while at the same time waiting for other players to lose to accumulate money to pay their winner, the casino always has an edge if they have big users and VIPs they are not just going to go down because of player wins, it seldom that casinos have 2 or 3 winners of 5 or 6 digits and if they cannot keep up anymore they will just scam their winners
It won't happen again. Almost all of casino is now having limitation for how much max win that can be won by its users. Casino will try to consider its liquidity first before try to put how big maximum price that can be taken by its winner. I think that if it's an old problem. I rarely saw it happen in the past. Even if there was such case and casino may not fully paid its winner. I meant i never heard casino goes bankrupt due to pay winner of its jackpot. yeah , casino has a huge earnings everyday. it will not go bankrupt in just a few second. it is possible maybe if 100 of people win in just a day with jackpot prize , but it will not never. algorithm will not let them win especially if that online casino is real , of course they need to earn some fund as well to operate. But again never heard casino go bankrupt. I am not aware of any casino which is going to bankrupt due to player wins. If any site is not scam then there is no possibility of such complaints. There are some scam sites who after running the business for a while plan to make money by scamming. Any such casino platform can hide itself by declaring bankruptcy. But naturally any casino platform has no chance of loss. So I don't think they can go bankrupt. If a casino has a low number of users then that is a different issue but it cannot be due to a player's win. |

Though KYC is mandatory in some gambling platforms, it is not properly enforced. Because gambling companies always focus on their business. If minors conduct gambling they do not take any legal action rather encourage them. If the casino platforms were to implement their rules correctly then this would certainly beneficial to everyone. I think every casino company should implement these rules carefully. According to the rules{21,18 years) no one under that age should be allowed to gamble.

ZIM Vs SL
~~snip~~
The Zimbabwe vs. Sri Lanka match today was very important especially for Zimbabwe as their chances of qualifying for the ODI World Cup were on the line. Sadly Zimbabwe performance was dismally subpar and reminded me of their previous match. In contrast to their previous encounters where they put on outstanding displays and won Zimbabwe only managed to score a poor 165 runs while losing all of their wickets in little under 32 overs. P. Nassanka deserves praise for his amazing performance with figures of 101/102 which made it a very simple victory for Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe World Cup participation is currently in doubt as a result of this defeat and Scotland has a chance to qualify by defeating both Zimbabwe and the Netherlands. In the last few matches, we got a very good performance from Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has won even against big teams like West Indies. Zimbabwean batsmen were able to perform very well in almost every match. And so I thought this match would be decisive. But the match was completely one-sided. Sri Lankan batsmen and bowlers both played very well. However, Zimbabwe's next match is against Scotland. The Scotland team is in good form. It will not be easy for Zimbabwe to win the match. Zimbabwean team has performed well since the beginning of this season. In that sequence, everyone thought that they might be able to put up a good resistance against Sri Lanka. But the fall of their wickets early did not allow the match to go far. By Sri Lanka's good bowling Zimbabwe lose all wickets for just 165 runs. Sri Lanka won easily against Zimbabwe. Top order 3 wickets loss early is the main reason for defeating Zimbabwe team. |

The past declared winners inspired people to continue grabbing their tickets because they also fantasize to win a huge amount of money and can change their life instantly. There's no doubt that some have made this an opportunity to win a lifetime experience they will never forget in lottery, yet some have also been trying over time to make such opportunity but it never comes but despite they keep trying while some had stop giving a try on lottery application, since it's believee that lottery comes with alot of benefits, if everyone can made it to the entry because they needed just few applicants to be selected among many applying. There's nothing wrong with trying your luck when buying lottery tickets with a small amount to get a big multiplier luck if you manage to be the chosen one.
I also sometimes still buy 3D 4D lottery tickets just to try my luck sometimes using only $0.5 amount or if I feel confident I will buy lottery tickets at slightly higher prices eg $1-10.
Who would have thought that the lucky day would come the next day. Two things that people prioritize the most one is the low cost lottery purchases and the other is the chance to win big. A lottery buyer may realize he will not be lucky because there is very little chance of winning. But they still try to win big money. Because each of them tries to conquer luck. I myself buy some national level lotteries. Even though I know I can't win but the low price and based on the possibility that is easy for me afford to loss. As we know that luck is never predetermined so i think there is no bad effect trying more within my range. |

Tax evasion? It is undoubtedly considered illegal by the law, and from the government's perspective, it is a violation. However, we all realize that every government provides an unfair financial governance in certain aspects. That's why many people consider tax avoidance to be something reasonable.
Of course it is a serious offense whom I will never support. The government of a country has to provide a proper solution of various problems. In this regard, If tax pay is discouraged the government of that country must face major economic problems. On the other hand, when an ordinary person pays 50 percent of his income, the tax provider must want to enjoy the maximum opportunity and the advantages from the country. It cannot even ignore his right. However, the OP mentions inflation but that is currently artificially consisted by Ukraine and Russia war. Due to the war, inflation has been affected in most countries of the world. I do not want to blame any government for this. |

When you buy Bitcoin hen the price is 100k$ then how much will you sell it back to make profit because at that time the price of Bitcoin might not exceed 100k$ and if the price didn't not exceed that amount you will become a loser in the business so how does the vendors do at that time?
Or you buy at that time and thinking that it will go up to 200k$ but ironically, the price come below 100k$. What will be you faith/fate. Many companies stopped function last year because they accumulated a lot of Bitcoin when the price was high and they were thinking that the price would go up for them to sell them off and make their profit from there but instead the price of Bitcoin drastically come down very well. So the companies enter bankruptcy and folded. So exchange are trying to avoid such mistakes, so that they can run a long journey.
It should be noted that Bitcoin will never reach the point where there will have no buyers. If no buyer is found after $100K, then remember that Bitcoin will not be able to rise to $100K. The price of Bitcoin will be $100K when the price of Bitcoin becomes more than $100K. Bitcoin is currently priced at $30K and is increasing slowly in price. Keep in mind that Bitcoin is unregulated and cannot increase or decrease in price artificially. Overall the market moves at its own pace. However, global economic conditions and business and political factors can affect the price of Bitcoin. As some are predicting that Bitcoin may reach 1 million in the next few years, the price of $100K will not be so high at that moment. An investor's main goal is to make a profit. If he is likely to make more profit than the price at which he buys, he will definitely consider buying at a higher price. |

Most people hold lotteries mainly to win big prizes but only the lucky ones can win the prize. When a person wins the lottery he hopes to win a good prize but if luckily he loses then he is inclined to buy the lottery again later. After losing a few times like this, he decided to spend more money and play the lottery and gradually he became addicted to it. They continue to lose money in the hope that a person who has won the lottery might win the lottery again and win a bigger prize. By spending money like this, they become addicted like gambling and want to do anything to win the prize. There are many people who are addicted to gambling and spoil their future and plan only to win prizes by gambling. But the life of a gambler and lottery buyer can be enlightened if he can visit a good path. So when a gambler buys a lottery, they must be careful and watch out for this addiction later on.
The existence of prizes from the lottery is what attracts people to continue buying tickets; with cheap ticket prices, they try to buy as many tickets as they can. And if they haven't won one of the prizes, they keep trying to buy a ticket to win it one day. And people get addicted to keep buying the tickets and hoping, so they probably won't stop if they haven't won the prize. Many people become addicted to buying lottery tickets because they are cheap. So when you want to buy lottery tickets, make sure you only use the money you can afford and don't take too many risks so you don't lose too much money either. A lottery buyer is naturally interested in winning the lottery because of the possibility of winning a large amount of money or prize at a low price. Some prefer to spend little money to get big opportunities. There are different types of lotteries where some are interested in national level lotteries and others are very interested in event based lotteries. Some buy more lotteries to turn their luck into winnings, but those who rely only on luck are not interested in buying more lotteries. I have seen some lottery buyers who buy lotteries regularly and think they will get lucky. Those who have bought lottery tickets regularly for a long time must have a good idea of how much money should be spent on lottery purchases. However, one should not spend money that exposes one to huge losses if lost. |

Smoking and drinking are bad habits too (for your health) and people still do them… the main idea is the same. Some people just don’t give a damn. Some people gamble just because they like it, they don’t care if they get rich or not from gambling at all. Some other people are greedy and they want to turn their 1 coin into 10 coins… some people play just to pass the time while they are waiting for someone. There are many other reasons too.
Long story short; Gambling fills a need in life and as long as that need exists, the gambling industry will not disappear from this world.
Yes, smoking and drinking alcohol is a very bad habit for our body, yes we are all known that our body needs some alcohol but not too much because it will lead us to addiction and once we are in addict to that thing our self-control will be lost and every day We involve in it. Just like in gambling if we are too much greedy and we don't have self-control then we can say that most of a time we will want to gamble. Excessive in anything can be found as bad. It could be smoking or drinking alcohol. Also the same thing exists in gambling. Gambling can become a deadly disease for those who are desperate or greedy. By deserving these facts when a gambler cannot control himself, there is nothing can do. It is a personal responsibility of a gambler to control himself. If he fails, his responsibility is on himself. But not everyone is addicted to gambling. A lots of gamblers are enjoy gambling. Gambling is more fun for them than winning money. |

Has anyone here had the opportunity to try out the casino on a cruise ship? I've heard many stories about them, and I'm curious to learn about the similarities and differences compared to land-based casinos. I'm particularly interested in hearing from someone who has firsthand experience playing in a cruise ship casino.
Specifically, I would like to know:
Operating Hours: Do cruise ship casinos operate 24/7 like their land-based counterparts?
Payouts: Are the payout rates comparable to land-based casinos?
Betting Limits: What are the minimum betting limits? I know that some land-based casinos start at $20.
Game Variety: Can I find the same range of games offered in land-based casinos on cruise ships?
I have no real experience about Casino on a cruise ship but But as far as my knowledge not all cruise ships have casinos but most large cruise ships usually have casinos. Large cruise ships like Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Celebrity Cruises have casinos and there are also many other large ships that have casinos. There is no major difference between land-based casinos and cruise ship casinos but cruise ship casinos are governed by some additional rules. cruise ship casinos are usually not open when the ship is in port area. Those casinos are open when they are staying in international waters. Most gamblers are interested in games that combine skill and luck in a cruise ship casino. |

In this Sri Lanka vs Netherlands match, Netherlands decided to bowl after receiving the opening batting. At the moment, Sri Lanka are batting and their pace of play today looks like they won't be able to score too many runs. They have already lost six wickets which has reduced their run rate. Sri Lanka would have been in good form if they could have scored 300 runs in today's match but it is not possible to score that many runs as their wickets are very short. However, Netherlands have shown a good bowling performance today due to which they have managed to take six wickets so far. At the moment, Sri Lanka has collected 114 runs and lost 6 wickets in 30 overs, Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure.
A good innings by Dhananjaya de Silva managed to bring the total score of the whole match to a good level. Even though 213 is not a reliable score. But Sri Lanka being an experienced team their low score may be enough to beat Ireland. In this match along with Dhananjaya de Silva, Karunaratne has contributed quite a bit. Meanwhile, the Ireland team has lost one of its wickets. With just 1 over to play Ireland lost their first wicket by 9 runs. Due to the low score, there will be a lot of excitement between the two teams. |

I guess the most difficult part in gambling would be for gamblers to control their own emotions, I often see big whale gamblers losing their cool in the casinos once they goes on a long losing streak and they still kept on betting with their martingale strategy until they realize their previous winnings and initial deposit are gone within a short period of time due to their impulsiveness on betting.
The ability to control emotions is something that every gambler must have because by losing money at the gambling table, their emotions can run high and forget their limits. Especially when they experience a losing streak, they can become emotional and use more money or even increase their bet amount. When the emotions are gone, their composure in playing gambling will also disappear and that's when they lose control over their emotions. One of the reasons why a gambler does not succeed in gambling is that he fails to control his emotions. Wins and losses in gambling happen to everyone but there are some gamblers who exceed their limits and turn into addicted gamblers. At some point when he comes out of his emotions he understands everything. But most gamblers fail to control their emotions as long as they have money. And those who cannot naturally control their emotions cannot survive in gambling. A gambler's patience and emotions both are important issues. |

It's possible that certain countries or regions may impose restrictions on the promotion of online gambling platforms, including those on Bitcointalk.
What kind of restrictions? Only what can be effective is for a country to ban gambling directly. The gambling sites on this forum are not even providing gambling services to people in the countries that ban gambling. But as for gambling ads or gambling promotion, that is not going to work. People will always visit this forum as long as they have their VPN and Tor on their device. Agreed, in this regard a specific country is mentioned. Moreover, gambling is still not legal in many countries where there is no direct advertisement in the media. This is nothing new and the government of a country can ban gambling if they wants to do. But gambling is no longer a small business. It has now become a large industry. Even if it is banned in one region, its influence is growing worldwide. But I think that even if gambling ads are banned in national media, it will be very difficult to remove them from online. |
