Zverev and O'Connel are playing each other right now. They do not take each other much away and each usually finishes his own service game quickly. Zverev won the first set 7:5 and just now Zverev is powering up a bit and takes his first break point in Set 2 after 4:4. It looks like Zverev will win and finally reach his first quarter-final after his injury.

Edit: And he has won. The last set went very quickly for Zverev. That victory gives him a lot of self-confidence.
This means Zverev is getting back his form. The first set seems to be little close and the second set have come easier. Now he's to play Sonego on the quarter finals. Possibly with the winning momentum favouring him, he'll win Sonego. Earlier Sonego have won against Augur Aliassime 77-64 6-4. He will be performing well and in his previous match he have lost against Andy Murray very closer in the Qatar Open.

Australia won the day and they are ahead of India so far, not the first time in this series tho. At times they were in the exactly same position but Indians fought back and Aussie lost the plot.

So Aussies need to play cool, keep their emotions in check and try not to waste this golden chance because this is their best chance to win the test, not many teams get this opportunity. Having said that Indians are no pushovers either, yeah they had an off day at work but they are a strong outfit and if they get a little bit of sniff tomorrow then they will make life very tough for Australia.

Their top batsmen are back in pavilion, including Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith. It will be a tough task for them to get to a total of 200, given how the pitch is assisting the Indian spinners. Peter Handscomb and Cameron Green are at the crease now, and so far they have struggled against Ashwin and Jadeja. And after these two, they have Alex Carey and he is the last recognized batsman. And after Carey they have four tail-end batsmen in Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy and Matthew Kuhnemann.
They already have 47 runs lead.

If they play really badly then they will add minimum 50 more runs, this is a very big lead IMO. Anything above that scenario would be game over for the Indians.

Indians have to bat their hearts out to overcome this deficit, not impossible for this Indian team despite top order being out of form tho. You would still back them to bounce back because of their past record.


Even at their worst Australia will have 100+ runs lead. This is going to be a big fight for India team. Handscomb and Green on the crease should bring good runs. Same as the previous match it is Jadeja doing the best. If Ashwin have taken few wickets, then Australia would've experienced little pressure situation.

Everytime the last players can't be believed, things can happen just like that took place in the England vs New Zealand test match.

Everything that is done by abuse will not succeed. Same with gambling, if you gamble and used up all your money, that will turn you into a beggar and suffer the consequences from losing in gambling. For sure, no one’s gonna end up like that. However, if you only gamble at your spare money because you just want to be entertained, and yet you earned profits as a bonus, then you are doing gambling the right way. As long as you never crossed your limits in gambling, then you are considered a responsible gambler.
Agree, we only need to set a money limit for gambling and never consider gambling for profit, but if we determine profits only bonuses and enjoy gambling only for entertainment then there is nothing to worry about in gambling, so being a responsible gambler is very simple and we never assume gambling is bad, because there is nothing wrong in gambling if we have money limits and have good emotional control in gambling.
At times it looks like gambling is for the rich, because they're the one who can play without thinking of money. Most users have mentioned about gambling with limits. This is possible, but at times we want ourselves to be on the lucky side. This is where the emotional control gets lost. If this happens to a person with good money, he never bothers about the loss whereas the person like you and me might feel bad for the loss. This also causes to loss emotional control. Maybe some 5% of gamblers will stay with control.

It's not new, he is vlogging all his bets and most of them are high amounts. I won't be surprised about this kind of bet that he did for Jake Paul. I too am a victim of losing money from trusting my money for him. I really thought he won that fight but we cannot defy the judges' decision.
What can we learn about the bet of Drake?
Nothing much. If you cannot afford such an amount don't bet like him.
There must be a limit on how much we can afford to lose and on his stance, he can and it's not difficult for him to make that much money again considering his net worth.

Drake is making money by losing it from all these sponsorships. I wouldn't be surprised if one of his sponsors covered some of that loss directly or by giving him rakeback or some form of credit.

He's not going bankrupt from such a bet and this is already working for him because we're all talking about it. This means more twitter followers for him, more viewers on his streams, more sponsorship invitations from casinos because everybody wants to have a high roller on their side.
Having high rollers is not a big task. Every gambling platform have got good number of high rollers, but the same to be a popular one is important. If you and I make such bets and loss it, this wouldn't be a big discussion. When popular ones experience it, those will be kind of business. As said these high rollers were backed and they won't go bankrupt. Most of his bets used to be high and he used to make some tricky bets that makes people watch it. Previously it was the $2.6m

Ronaldo has already proven himself in England, Spain, Italy and back to England with Manchester United before moving to his new club Al Nassr. Ronaldo broke so many Records and coming to Saudi Arabia Ronaldo become the only player to earn such amount of money at age 38 years and he has made the League well known to football lovers and the entire globe and that alone is an achievement for a super star like him. Ronaldo has scored notable number of goals among the goals are two hat-trick and his club is currently League leaders I believe they will go on to win the League and Ronaldo will be the front man after all.

I won't argue that Ronaldo is a goat which I myself also think no other players better than him and Messi. He always got his new team and league more followers in social media because of his presence alone, something that perhaps nobody could do. But with his decision to play in Asia, I don't think he will gain back his best shape anymore, and the top scorer title he might get in the end of season, would mean nothing as people have predicted that  right after they decide to play there. However I love to see him win asian champions league and compete in club world cup again.
Right now his move towards Asia have made this to be a big discussion, because the move isn't expected. With his entry the Saudi Arabia Pro League have gained more importance. He's highly influential, and he have got more responsibility. Winning the Asian Champions League makes him the best once again. What he came for needs to be fulfilled, he have mentioned the shape of Asian football isn't that good. With his presence he needs to create more potential players.

Borussia Dortmund vs Leipzig will be the first game this week. This match is very important for both teams because they are also in the path of champions. If Borussia Dortmund lose this game then they might fall behind Bayern Munich again and if Leipzig lose this game then it will widen them from the team that is above them at the moment and it is very likely they will be displaced by the thin Freiburg under them.
Critical game and a draw between Dortmund and Leipzig is possible here depends from the performance of Leipzig mainly. Dortmund have the advantage of playing home and being solid since the beginning of the year by not losing matches. Otherwise both teams scored and conceived the same number of goals Wink
I would say Dortmund > draw > Leipzig.

I think the outcome of the game should be in favour of Dortmund judging from their last match, although Leipzig is in good shape but Dortmund will be eyeing to occupy the first position as they are in same point with Bayern Munich but a win at home for Dortmund will take them to first place until Bayern Munich win in their own game. I think Dortmund is the better team to win.
Based on the head to head matches it is Leipzig is on the lead with three wins and Dortmund with two wins. Also two wins of Leipzig have come in the last year. In the last five matches played Dortmund have won every match whereas Leipzig have won two matches, drawn two matches and lost a match. Leipzig have got some momentum to score in the last end of the match. In such way during the last 15 minutes 13 goals have come. This too a reason that we can expect the match to be close.

Maybe you being rich is delayed, if you're educated. With education it is possible to make yourself analyse and understand what is necessary and what isn't. With money you'll have a mind that you can do anything. This is attitude change between the two different set of people with education and people with money.

Money might go away from you, if you doesn't have the skill to manage it in the right way. With education it is possible to manage things in an orderly way. Education stays with you forever and it gives hands

Gambling can't be considered as fun by everyone. Maybe 1 out of 10 might consider gambling as fun.
The majority prioritise it as a way to multiply the amount risked, though they've the right understanding.
People who have good money might consider gambling as fun, but the mind changes when they start losing.
Gambling with fun mindset will ease the gambling experience and make way for relaxed gambling.

Maybe few dollars can be spent to experiment the outcome. Though the outcome is known, it is a big risk according to me. Good choice will be to buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for long term profiting. It is all about the reputation.

Now we have few hours left in last day's play with can Southee, Henry and Wagner change their fortune after this amazing batting from their batsmen.
New Zealand should win the match as England already lost their 5th wicket and i am confused with the way they are playing Test Cricket or the brand of Cricket they wanted to portray. Run out during crucial period, the inform batsman in England Harry Brook getting run out in a Test match even without facing a ball is ridiculous. Root is batting as if he is in T20 during a crucial period and if New Zealand could restrict the run flow England batsman would gift their wickets.
Ben Stokes and Joe Root on the crease makes it a tough challenge for New Zealand. Taking those two wickets will increase the winning chance. For now Root is playing aggressive 55*(56) which is like ODI. More runs scored now will help them if wickets fall. Maybe in that plan he's playing while Stokes is just doing the support part. Really it needs to be a comeback match for New Zealand.

We all agree we're living in a crazy world and what's far worse is that it is managed by a bunch of clowns..
So, let's think wildly, one day US were to further increase the censorship just like some of the other countries in the world, they ban bitcoin, they ban VPN, they pass legislation for those who mine/trade/spend btc will be sent to jail.
(Let's not say it's not going to happen. It can! You never know just like you would never have known that there's a war in 2022.)

Other countries start to follow.

Where will you be and what kind of life will it be and how is it going to impact yours?


In my opinion, if such a thing happens, it won't happen all over the world at once. The USA can ban anything on their grounds, but can't force other countries to ban it, especially because countries like China and Russia have conflicting interests with the USA. I once read that VPNs are widely used in China as the citizens there want to take advantage of some American services. I believe if the USA banned crypto mining, China would leave their ban fast, as Bitcoin blockchain still has usages to move capitals between both countries in known and unknown ways.
To come to a common understanding on the ban of cryptocurrency is really not gonna happen in the short or the long term. When it comes to cryptocurrency ban surely there'll be conflicts between China and USA. Another thing among the entire list of countries we can see good number of countries favouring the acceptance and other countries taking a decision against bitcoin. I'm positive on this, because countries that are against bitcoin in the past have begun to regulate and accept bitcoin.

Kiwis still trail by 24 runs, they lost only 3 wickets but I do not think they will be able to get a good lead against the English side. This English side has been amazing, the coach, the captain, and the team have created a unique strategy that most of us and neither the opposition team management is able to understand.

The English batters are not aggressive anymore they are going after the bowlers which is making this test match more interesting. In this game, the batters and the bowlers of England are contributing in alignment. Regardless of the pitch they have proven they have proved their skills. I would love to see England playing against India in India.
Kiwis have missed the opportunity. Being in the home ground they should've performed better in the first innings. As of now New Zealand is in good position, and this isn't going to be a draw. The match is completely into the hands of England. If New Zealand were able to make a comeback, then it is a big history in the test cricket.  In the match between India and Australia similar scenario happened, when everyone predicted the team to end the innings shortly bottom order players took the score leveling the scoring of Australia. Lets see if something similar to that takes place tomorrow.

Australian women have won many times and this time their chances of wining are way higher than South Africa,  there team is very experienced and strong in terms of performance and game so they can easily win this trophy.
Australia Women team is the strongest among the Women's cricket teams. Already they've won the T20 World Cup Five times which is enough to show how strong is the team as well as the players performance. Same time we should also know match scenarios in T20 cricket turns in no time. Just take the Australia Women and India Women team in the semifinals match, none expected such a performance from India Women. Maybe South Africa Women too might give such performance.

The match between Australian women and South African women is going to start about 1 hour from now. Of course, Australia should be able to win. Because they are very experienced. They are more experienced and far better compared to South African women at least. Of course, anything can happen in T20 matches. But I believe that Australia is a far better team and they should not lose against South Africa under any circumstances.

Can surprises happen in this match? sure they can. But it is highly unlikely that Australian women are going to lose this match.

If we see the journey of both Australia and South Africa in this world cup, we see a clear difference.

The Australian cricket team won all their matches and has not faced any taste of loss in this world cup. On the other hand, South Africa lost their first match in this world cup against Srilanka. Also South Africa Lost to Australia in the pool game played between the two teams earlier.

Keeping this fact in mind, i think Australia will come out to be a definite winner after this final.

The Latest news from the ground is that Australia have won the toss and they will rightly bat first to put a big total on the board.
There is a big difference between the two reaching the finals. Australia Women team played confidently and won each and every match whereas South Africa Women team won the match and at some critical situation it was to win the match against Bangladesh Women to reach the finals. If not, it was New Zealand Women to reach the Semifinals. As of now Australia Women is in good position scoring 77 runs losing a wicket in 10 overs. We can expect a target of atleast 190 runs.

In today's 14th Match of Pakistan Super League, Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans, there was a very beautiful game between these two teams. Karachi Kings batted first and gave the target of 167 runs. But Multan Sultans were all out in 16.3 overs. It is really bad Multan Sultans batting. I didn't think that it will perform so badly. Multan Sultans batsmen lost the match today due to bad batting. But Karachi Kings won the match very easily due to their excellent bowling performance. I am a little surprised to see the game. First, Karachi Kings will play so well. No one thought.
Multan Sultans have lost the match for the second time. Amidst the loss Multan Sultans were on the first position on the points table. Karachi Kings on the third position, and today everything worked for them. Multan Sultans were like depending on particular player, and today Mohammad Rizwan didn't perform and the team lost the match.

I am curious to see what you guys are going to bet on for the final between Australia vs South Africa? Australia are the defending champions and they have already won South Africa convincingly, but South Africa are on a roll now and they have home field advantage, so it is going to be a tough one to call.
It shouldn't be a tough match for Australia, they have a very strong squad. Australia had an easy victory against South Africa in the group stage match. I believe that Australia will win the final, but I'm not interested to place bet on them as the odds isn't attractive. South Africa women's team have pretty low chance to win the match, they have to rely on miracles.
Australia women's cricket team is the most advanced in this tournament. Most cricket concerned feel that South Africa is not a good opponent for Australia team, which is easily understood by looking at the betting odds. But there is uncertainty in T20 games if 2-3 overs are bowl or batted well then the scenery of the match can easily change. I wouldn't bet on these odds. When the situation of the match changes a little, i will take part in betting if the time seems convenient. But I was optimistic that if England and Australia had made it to the final, the punters would have had no disagreement with the odds of the match.
Today match Australia women vs South Africa women. Both men's and women's teams of Australia played very well so I see a high chance of Australia winning this match. South Africa also play well no doubt but whether they can match Australia is doubtful. Australia can probably set a target of 160 runs if they bat first. And if they bowl first then maybe South Africa can give them a target of 150 runs.

Australia's women's team is very strong in women's cricket. And winning against them is a challenging task for any team. I didn't think the South African team was very strong. But in the last match they played well against England. And if they maintain this consistency, South Africa women's team has a chance to win against Australia as well. But it will be very difficult. Because every player in the Australian team is experienced enough.
With the semifinals performance from South Africa the winning probability of South Africa have reached 16% against the strong Australia Women. Consistency is the major problem with majority of the teams. The teams used to perform well in an unexpected manner and loss very badly when cricket fans expect a win from them. In the previous match both bowling and batting worked well for South Africa Women. This time we don't know how important toss gonna play it's role.

The performance of these associates are below average according to standards of ICC and other teams those are competing in tournaments. UAE and  Namibia should work on their batting as scoring 91 and 166 in ODI is really bad.
When these teams get regular matches, the performance will be better. UAE and Namibia have scored 91 and 166 in the last two matches. Earlier the same teams have scored runs above 300 and 200 in different matches. These teams get continuous matches for few months and have break for long. This gap isn't good with cricket and particularly with ODI players won't be able to maintain their consistent play. Few matches were really exceptional as unexpected results came out due to responsible play from bottom order players.

The first innings is getting close to the end. Karachi Kings have lost two wicket and the score isn't that high. With the current runrate Karachi Kings might score around 170 runs. In 17 overs they've managed to reach 141 runs. Tahir played an awesome innings and lost his wicket at 65 runs. Mathew Wade need to make some big shots letting the team to score big target.
