121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones on: April 29, 2024, 02:28:54 PM
In my country it seems the young people and the middle-ages are more involved in gambling. Young people try different form of gambling while middle aged people are more focused on card games. That group of people earn for their own and have decent amount to spend on gambling without any trouble. Young people have many needs and desire so they have less time and money to gamble. Old pensioners too lack good money so gambling doesn't come in their priority.

The world has gotten to that point in which every product should have a particular price is been sold for.
A product that is been sold for $5 in USA should also be sold for $5 in Canada and China, this way it will help the world leaders to remove hunger in the world, it will also help grow the economy of every country because countries can buy product from one another at a better price, this method will really help in reducing suffering in the world because hunger is one of man's major problem.
The world leaders should sit and implement this policy every product will be given a price that will be comfortable to every common man in different countries of the world.

That would not be possible as local produce are cheaper because they don't require to be transported on a long route. The paying capacity of people in developed and underdeveloped countries are different, a global fixed price would make poor people more poor.
But I'm in favor of local fixed price. There should not be coupons and discounts and there should be a fixed percent the producer could mark up the price and everyone could buy at the same price in multiple stores online or offline. Doing that would save people a lot of time and money and our economy would be more efficient.

Another win for RR in IPL. Rajasthan Royals, winning the toss, elected to field first. Lucknow Super Giants batting first created a decent score of 196. Another Impressive inning from KL Rahul for LSG and Deepak Hooda scoring a half century, still a score below 200 is hardly a large one in IPL.
RR chased it comfortably with Sanju samson's explosive 71. With this win, RR has solidified it's top position on the table and are favorite to directly qualify for the finals.
Sanju Samson and KL Rahul after this match has rose to 2nd and 3rd highest run scorer this season.
124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: April 27, 2024, 05:50:45 PM
Does gambling needs experience or anyone +18, even the inexperienced one can also play? Though playing gamble has a limited age grade or age bracket and the accepted is from  +18 years and there are some casinos hall at the door post, it is written clearly that it is only people of +18 can play. But what about the inexperienced ones, are they allowed to play gamble as well? Or they are also restricted to have the fun? In my observation, there are two elements to participate in gambling. One, you must above 18 years in my country and secondly you must have an experience to play, so I want to know if inexperienced people can also play gamble.

The age and form of gambling depends on the nation you live on. Some enforce total ban of all form of gambling for all age groups. For some nations, it's 21+ while some don't have a age limit for some form of gambling. Law are just one expect, there are other things to consider like your economic situation, your mental health and your religion or culture. If you feel you are fit to gamble, you should still learn how things can go bad or how people ruin their life with gambling.
Experience is not a big deal if you have a financial plan and general theoretical knowledge of how it works. Self experience would make you learn more.
125  Economy / Economics / Re: How safe is it to keep your money and gold underground? on: April 27, 2024, 05:14:54 PM
l watched my grandmother many years ago put her dollars, gold, and silver ornaments in a plastic box and bury them in a hole in the ground, marking the spot so she wouldn't forget it later. If ornaments or dollars were needed, she would fetch the necessary items from under the ground, unseen by all. The work is a little difficult, but she has been doing it for almost 30 years, and she is now an old woman.
     I was very surprised by her strategy. I liked it, and at the same time, I was curious as to why she put it that way. When I asked her, it would be better to keep the funds in a safe place at home or in the in the bank instead of like this. She then told me that neither the house nor the bank are safe.
 Based on that formula, I saw my mother adopt the exact same approach. The mother also has the idea that the bank or house is not safe for these funds, or that it is not a safe place for the money. Because keeping these funds at home is very risky, you should be wary of thieves, robbers, and even rats. Again, in the case of banks, I have heard about the bankruptcy of big banks. Also, if these things are kept in the bank, you have to pay a separate additional fee, and the tax is different.
    That's why they consider this novel method to be safe and confidential.
Also, they are senior people, so they have no idea about the crypto world, and it may take me a long time to understand them.

Many may be confused by reading my title. Some may find this approach ridiculous. But this is a different technique and experience for me.

 Now I want to ask everyone:
    Have any of you ever been aware of this technique before?
And do you think we can keep our savings and wealth underground by adopting this strategy and considering it the safest?
And that being said, how safe do you think it is? At this time?

Burying used to be a way of protecting your assets in the past. When people wanted to save for long term or generation, they'd bury their wealth for their children and grandchildren int he family property. It kept it safe from robbers and governments. There were no banks in the past so this method was widely practiced.
At current time, it could be too much effort and risk as there are better alternatives to keep both your money and precious metals.
Gold and Silver can still be buried for safeguarding if all of you agree on it. Burying money however safe you may keep it could be risky both physically and economically. There are chances of cash getting out of circulation. Gold and Silver on the other hand would keep on increasing in price and could be life changing money for coming generation.

in the 43rd match of IPL Delhi Capital scored a huge total 257 runs in a loss of 4 wickets. Delhi Capital batting performance is outstanding in this Match especially Fraser McGurk performance is amazing scored 84 runs in just only 27 balls unfortunately, missed his well-deserved century by just 16 runs short but reached the team total of 250 plus runs against Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians chased down the target and lost 3 wickets in 136 runs. Talik Varma is playing at 24 runs not out and haHardicandya is also playing well at 46 runs Mumbai Indians need 122 runs from 46 balls to win this match against Delhi capital but their chances of winning are not high.

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. He will definitely regret this decision. Because in today's match against Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians bowlers did not perform so well, due to which Delhi Capitals batsmen played responsible batting from the beginning and completely defeated the Mumbai Indians bowlers. Mumbai Indians have been given a target of 258 runs. Coming down to bat against the target of 258 runs set by Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets, but Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya and Tim David batted responsibly for Mumbai Indians. However, if the opener pair of Mumbai Indians could have batted responsibly, they would have won against Delhi Capitals. Because Mumbai Indians lost the match by just 10 runs against Delhi Capitals. Mumbai Indians really played a very commendable game as they fought brilliantly against Delhi Capitals to win the match unfortunately Mumbai Indians could not win the match but the match was very competitive.

Mumbai Indians could have lost anyway even if they bat first. 258 is a huge target to start with and MI doesn't have the season going on their favor. DC had a pleasant start with Jake Fraser-McGurk's 84 of 27 balls, that's an strike rate above 300. 3 sixes and he would have tied the record of fastest century in IPL history. Even though MI chased well, they were short by 10 runs at last. They needed to play risky to win but saving one of those 4 wickets lost in last three overs could have changed the game.

Statically there could be ways but effectively, MI are now out of the title race. High scoring matches are nice to look at but it's making the games more demanding.
127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: April 26, 2024, 06:16:02 PM
No almost all of the people who can control emotions too are not earning from it. Not being able to control emotion might make the gambling more difficult.
In short generalization, there are two ways of ruining your life with gambling. Gambling addiction (compulsive gambling) and rage betting. The people who are not able to control their emotion are more susceptible to rage betting which makes them lose all they have quicker.  But even the people with stone heart, compulsive gambling could prevail. In order to have a balance between life and gambling, people should realize where the mistakes can be made and limit their gambling time and money according to their budget.

The way meme coins had been popular, no doubt they'll be the reason for next bull run. Can't be sure about Dogecoin but in my experience, there had been an huge accumulation on most of the popular meme coins like Shiba Inu, Pepe, BOME, Dogwifhat, BONK and MEW. I myself and a lot of my friends holds a few of them atleast. Can't tell about others but there are several more newer memecoins that are being accumulated with the speculation of large growth. Meme coins have had the largest growth in marketcap and are still in huge demand. The people buying now won't sell them in cheap making them a good investment for bull run.

What the blazing hell! Punjab look like they might chase down that humungous score and are on course to scripting history here. Every KKR bowler excluding Narine is getting pounded into oblivion.

92 from 50 balls seems totally gettable now unless Punjab lose wickets quickly. This is unbelievable stuff. Insane IPL season period.

Punjab should win it from here. KKR batting first, the opening pair of Phil Salt and Sunil Narine created a fabulous 1st wicket partnership both making 70+ with a strike rate of over 200 and other batsmen though not as long standing as them, most of them kept the strike rate to create a large score of 261.
Punjab chasing a huge target and KKR being 2nd on the table and Punjab 2nd from the bottom, were not the favorite in this match but Jonny Bairstow impressive inning have led them to a point when they require just 61 runs from 30 balls.
130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the least risky gambling game at online casinos? on: April 26, 2024, 03:58:09 PM
I've never bet on any online game other than fortune tiger (very little), I want to try something new, but I also want to learn about sports betting and stop just supporting my football team.

Don't worry, if I'm going to bet, it will be after having studied the subject a lot and listening to opinions and recommendations from each answer in this thread.

When I have time, I do research on casinos and sports betting, but what I find is too obvious and impractical, and when I ask my friends at work for advice, they only recommend slot games like fortune tiger.

Please recommend non-slot casino games that are fun and have interesting odds.

Slots generally have larger house edge that makes winning through slots more difficult. They might be fun to play and the animation could make it feel you're playing longer on same money. So, it's not a bad thing if you are for that sort of fun.
Sports betting could be the only skill based gambling where analysis of past and present conditions might bring you a predictable profit. As the games are a few everyday and you are not betting on all of them, the amount you lose or win could be limited. And it's more waiting than actually watching.
Of quick and low house edge game, I generally go with crash and roulette, both of them have a short animation and a house edge same as that of dice.

Sunrise Hyderabad have performed very well in the past, but Royal Challengers Bangalore have not fared well. One of the reasons for losing this match is the fall of wickets is more, in the beginning there was so much fall of wickets that the later batsmen could not perform well. The only win was possible due to the good bowling performance of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team. All the bowlers performed well and the batting also performed well, due to which the Royal Challengers Bangalore won this match.

The top and Middle order of Sunrisers Hyderabad were not able to perform well except for Abhisekh Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed. The target of 207 can no longer be considered a huge one. Hyderabad tried to start huge but kept on losing wickets. Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar had previously scored half centuries for RCB.
Even though being in bottom, RCB did performed well on most of it's games due to a consistant performance by Virat Kohli but this deep in league, they have no hope to play the eliminators. This win was required more for Hyderabad as they were fighting for the place on top.

On the 40th match of IPL, Gujrat Titans and Delhi Capitals are playing their 9th match. Gujrat winning the toss made Delhi Capitals bat as expected.
Delhi Capital, with 88 runs from 43 balls by Rishab Pant created a good score of 224. But with current trend, 220+ is not a safe target in IPL. Gujrat Titans were going strong till 14th over scoring 139/4 but things for them now looks dire as they lose Sharukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia in 15th and 16th over. Now, David Miller and Rashid Khan should show their aggressive batting to get a win from here, they have done that in past. So, it's still early to call a win for DC.

Once again Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants are going to play the match with each other once again. By the way, the last match that was played by Chennai Super Kings was also this  and also the last match that was played by Lucknow Super Giants is also with Chennai Super Kings.
In that match, Lucknow Super Giants won the match and Chennai Super Kings had to be face defeat. By the way, the last match was hosted by Lucknow between them and it was also be won by Lucknow but now Chennai is ready to host the today's match means we can relate that Chennai Super Kings are loading their revenge.  Smiley
Recent match history between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants shows that Lucknow has had the upper hand by winning last match and one before that as well. However with today match being hosted by Chennai it seems like they are determined to turn tables and seek revenge for their previous defeats. It will be interesting to see if they will take their revenge and secure win against Lucknow. By the way this is going to be an exciting match. Chennai should think about the previous mistakes and should eliminate them to secure win against Lucknow.

Lucknow won the toss and chose to bowl first, which proved to be an effective and smart decision as the match progressed. Chennai has already lost three batsmen, and their run rate quite fair if you ask me. Since today's match is being hosted by Chennai, we are expected to take advantage of their home ground and improve their performance, which is what their fans are hoping for. So far, CSK's batting has been quite slow, but hopefully, they will increase their run rate. I'm hoping for a total above 200 at least.

Halfway through the league, Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants both are at equal points and in position 4th and 5th. Both of them are hoping to play further at least through qualifiers and both of the team would want winning this particular game. Lucknow winning the toss asked CSK to bat and they are batting with all their might. At the moment they seem to be easily making 200+ at the end of 20 overs. Ruturaj Gaikward is nearing a century while Shivam Dube is batting with an excellent strike rate. CSK has a good batting lineup and at the moment they are 162/3 with 3 overs left. It's going to be a tough score to chase for LSG.
134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 23, 2024, 03:54:36 AM
I think Girona can still secure the top three positions in the standings for this season because the team is seven points adrift of Atletico Madrid who are in the top four. Apart from that, Girona's opportunity to regain second place from Barcelona is still wide open after Barcelona lost again at home to Real Madrid yesterday and caused them to lose points. And I actually don't have much doubt about Girona's performance to get back to a better position this season, but Barcelona will also try to maintain its current position until the end of the season.
Exactly, Girona's points are quite far ahead so it seems impossible for Atletico Madrid to take Girona's position easily. Barcelona's defeat only means they don't get an additional point. Barcelona should give their best performance to still make the match end in a draw. That way Barcelona can get an additional point. However, I appreciate the efforts of Barcelona who gave their best performance against Real Madrid because they were able to survive until they got extra time to determine who was the winner.

I think it will be quite difficult for Atletico Madrid to take 3rd place from Girona because there are only 6 matches left, while Atletico Madrid has a performance that is no better than Girona. Likewise with Barcelona, I think their chances in the title race are gone because their points gap with Real Madrid is getting wider. Barcelona played quite well when playing at Real Madrid's home ground, it's just that when it comes to mentality and composure, Real Madrid is still better than Barcelona. I think what can change is 2nd place and third place because for now Barcelona and Girona are only 2 points apart.

Yes, with just 6 matches in hand, a gaining a point difference of 8 points with an equally performing team require an spectacular performance and a rare luck. I don't see Atletico Madrid Catching up with Girona. It's more likely that Atletico Madrid try not to get replaced by Athletic Club which is right behind. Atletico needs this position to play next champions league.
I don't see Real Madrid being challenged as well while the two Catalonian team might fight for the 2nd spot. Barcelona has uped it's game recently while Girona has a decreased gameplay. I expect the standing till top 5 to remain the same even at the end of the league.

In the group, PSG vs Dortmund have one win and one draw, but the fact is that Dortmund secured their place in the 1/8 ahead of schedule, and PSG, if they had not taken a point in the last round, could have ended their performance in the tournament.
This is exactly the randomness I’m talking about: in this pair, the result is far from obvious, and anyone who thinks that PSG is a clear favorite is mistaken (however, you can always bet and make money on your confidence).
To be honest, the semifinal match will be more difficult to predict because whether it is PSG or Dortmund they will play better to advance to the final. Sometimes people think PSG is weak because they seem to be cursed because it is difficult to win, but this season they have a better chance to break the curse and come out as champions. Indeed, Dortmund has the opportunity to thwart PSG's hopes of qualifying for the final, but this will be quite difficult for Dortmund to do because PSG will perform better, aka they will play all out to advance to the final.

I won't blame anyone because of course they have thought about their decision to support PSG or Dortmund beforehand. In my opinion, betting on PSG to win has a greater chance of profit, but it all depends on each person. I remain optimistic that PSG will succeed in winning the first or second leg and PSG is my favorite to advance to the Champions League final this season.

I believe PSG is an overall better team than Dortmund and should easily win over them. PSG are the top team in Ligue 1, they has defeated Barcelona in the quaterfinals, which is a second team on La Liga. While Dortmund is the 5th team on Bundesliga who defeated Atletico Madrid which is the 4th team in La liga. Every stats shows Dortmund have an easier path to semifinals.
The Munich vs Real Madrid would be the ultimate battle. The winner of this high stake match would be the favorite for the championship title.

They haven't paid to to transfer 70 cents, they've paid to create this:
https://ordiscan.com/inscription/70279589
it's a rune
https://ordiscan.com/rune/DECENTRALIZED

And they paid that much to make sure that it gets minted on block 840 000, that's for bragging rights!
damn, must be fun to be that rich, it looks cool but there is no way I'll ever do that even if I have the capacity to do it, I just don't think it is worth it.

anyway, is rune the same as the ordinals, is it a new trend or something? it's my first time hearing about it?

My first time hearing about them. They seem to be doing some NFT stuff on bitcoin network. We've seen what the height of NFT hype were and where it is heading but still being associated with a rare occurrence of halving on bitcoin network might age better. For that person it might be a risk worth taking. There are not many halving anyway.
The person that paid a huge fee to mint the rare NFT might feel good at the moment and might even get a buyer to get a profit on his work (if it's tradeable) but in the long run, it is going to be hard to predict if the NFT holds any significance.
It sure is rare but by a third party. If I understand what it is, there would be 100 of different projects issuing similar NFTs for next halving decreasing it's legitimacy and value.

The match has ended, and Real Madrid was able to win the game at the end game, which makes the score 3-2. The match was really very interesting and very tough. Barcelona really displayed, in fact, I didn't expect that Barcelona would play so well like this in today's match due to their recent form, but honestly, they did a great job. However, luck was not on their side. The match could have ended in a draw, but in the last minute, Real Madrid was opportune to score, and that's what made the game end 3-2. At this moment, I think it is time for Barcelona to give up on the La Liga trophy.The point difference is now eleven points, which I think is really much for Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid because Real Madrid needs to lose four matches out of the six remaining to play. But I know it is not possible for them to lose four good games. So, Real Madrid will surely be the winner of this season's La Liga trophy.
The title hope is over for Barcelona. This game is actually Barca's only chance to make the title hope is possible to fight for with 5 points gap if they win the game. But this result makes Barcelona's chance to chase Madrid seems impossible, even though mathematically it's not over yet. Six games to go with eleven points gap is confirming that Madrid has secure the La Liga title in their one hand. They just need to make it official by winning two or three more matches.

This is not the first time for Barca under Xavi to concede a late goal. This implies Barca's defense is not discipline enough save the situation, the penalty is also another proof for it. I don't know how Barca can be so vulnerable at defense remembering they almost broke the record of the least conceded goals a season last season.  

Another great El Clasico game. Both team performed equally good. Barcelona too a lead, Real did an equalizer, the same again and in the injury time real scored to win.
Most people had ruled out Barcelona well ahead this season and there were people expecting them to fall further yet they are now nearing to secure the 2nd position. Considering how well they played today, there seems no huge difference on the two team. Despite all the troubles, controversies and economic problems, Xavi had been able to get most out of the team.

Another one record close contest in IPL between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, KKR winning by 1 run.
RCB winning the toss made KKR bat first. KKR made a good total of 222 in 20 overs. RCB too chased the target with all their might. Their run rate from 9 to 15th over was better than what they required yet the last 5 overs were decisive. At the end of the game, RCB needed 3 runs to win from 2 balls but they lost wicket on the penultimate ball and just one run and a runout in last. RCB were previously touted for not being able to win the trophy and now winning a game is difficult for them. RCB has lost 7 of it's 8 game taking the bottom position of the table.

There might be argument of decentralization and security in POW but with the advancement of technology non-pow coins too are much secure than ever. we could also devise way to distribute non-pow coins in a decentralized manner making it more decentralized and secure than POW.
The reason why POW was a tech in past and needs to be phased out in modern coins is its excessive use of precious energy. Old coins like Bitcoin and Litecoin would stay mineable but there are no popular new POW and we should too discourage using such energy intense activity to achieve something that could be achieved without huge energy consumption.
