New Zealand vs England is one of most interesting series in recent time we are going to have as we have some one sided but these two teams are balances and have good history of interesting matches.
Historically New Zealand is really strong in their home ground and they are not that easy to beat and hence they are called the dark horses in every world cup, i never thought New Zealand will reach the finals in the last world cup nor had a clue that it will be tie even after super over and after that New Zealand and England facing each other for the first time and it is a really interesting series and not sure whom to wage a bet. |

i was expecting Hong Kong to win the match with all the reviews here but it looks like Oman has the chance to qualify in the world cup as Hong Kong already lost seven wickets and they need 52 from 6 overs which is an impossible total but if they can win from this position it will be a miracle.
The match is almost over and if you trust some prediction you cannot win the bet as T20 is hard to predict and these qualifying matches are extremely hard to predict and with a wicket left and 5 more balls they need 16 runs to win the match and Oman is the last team to qualify for the T20 world cup, i made a small bet for Oman to win in the final 5 overs of the match. |

I think that US has actually been destined to lose the power, so they should continue to fight cryptocurrency or not open their eye to the positivity of blockchain technology while they allow china to fully utilize this opportunity and if care I not taken, china will actually take over the blockchain technology as they have been building probably a giant system already on blockchain, and we could see how effective china input is on this. The Chinese government will be implementing the blockchain technology and there is no one denying that and all the countries will be implementing it in the future and if the US government wanted to ban bitcoin they could have already done that by forcing the exchanges to shut down but the only restrictions as far as i know is against the scam ICO projects and it was a good decision by their authorities. |

I understand how ridiculous this is but if you are a new player you will be under immense pressure to perform and these sort of funny moments does happen, he might be playing cricket where there is no media attention and when you are playing cricket when the world is watching you will mess up sometimes  . The reason i respect these international players is because they play under pressure and a single mishap will be watched around the world and the pressure will get you, this will be remembered for a long time . |

Just noticed the post by JSRAW. So all this happened during the IPL 11, just before the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad v Kings XI Punjab. This actually raises a few uncomfortable questions about the IPL itself. First of all, how did the bookies managed to approach players representing the Sunrisers Hyderabad? Second, if they were able to approach Shakib, what is the guarantee that they didn't approached the other players? And thirdly, what is the surety that all of the SRH players turned down their offer?
All the franchise cricket has some shady things happening, Pakistan players caught recently in the spot fixing scandal and IPL being the biggest money maker in the market you are bound you expect these kind of things and the bookies will try their best to get inside information and most probably fix the matches so that they can win millions every game and this is a huge black market for these illegal activities and majority of the times people who are close to the team management will be behind these and so is the reason the ICC has implemented some strict policies regarding it to avoid these instances. |

IMO most of them are inexperienced and introducing such lineup against a side like Australia was like a suicide. Apart from Kusal perrera and Malinga I don't see anyone much experienced. Last match of the series is on 1st November and I am quite sure of which way the result will go.
Before the first T20 i was not aware of the hollow situation as they played really well against Pakistan but after seeing the first T20 i placed a parlay on Australia to win the match along with the India and Bangladesh series and with the ban of Shakib Al Hasan there is no way that Bangladesh will have a fighting chance against a strong team like India. |

Had no idea about this match but looking at scorecard. have no regrets whatsoever and glad that i didn't waste my time on it. looks dead series to me or Oz just doing net practice with Sri lankans  . anyways we have good amount of cricket in the next month let's hope for good contest. All the hype that Srilanka had after defeating Pakistan ended after the first two T20s as they were playing just like club players and i was expecting this match when they were playing Pakistan but during that time they surprised me by white washing the series but now they are getting the same treatment what they deserve as a team . Eng vs NZ I am going with England to win the match as the players they have can change a match with the bat and i am expecting a high scoring game. Ind vs Ban ( Shakib's ban killed the hype, i suppose)
I was not giving any chance for Bangladesh but now there will be a one sided trashing as Shakib is not in the team. |

He's impact whenever available is incredible and Literally, I'm beginning for fear Barcelona's life after Messi, there is definitely no getting over his impacts easily.
Good 3 point, Back to the top of the table!
All the hardcore fans of Lionel Messi wanted him to play for a longer period of time and it is impossible to replace a player like Messi and without his presence then they will have a hard time to see the matches without his presence, i am a fan of Barcelona for a long time and i started following them when Ronaldinho started playing for them and still continuing to be a fan and with a dominating win they are back at the top of the table. |

My opinion for that is people wants something a less risky but they didn't know that the less risky it is, the less profits there is for them, as a human nature, it is natural to be scared, we have instinct to trust or not to trust sometimes, most likely, people wants fiat because it is "safe" for them (how ironic), but the truth is, there is no such thing as safe, dangers and risks are everywhere. Majority of the hard working people look for safe investment rather than taking risk as they do not want to see their life earning to go to dust so there is a fine line in trading in high risk market and the safest option, you can see many people investing in bonds and majority will not even dare to invest in the stock market and you cannot any of those category to invest in a high volatile market like this. There are risk in every market but the less profit you get the lesser the risk and vice versa. |

Anyway here it is! This event is def stacked! At first glance my picks are Diaz, Gastelum, Thompson, Ivanov, Gillespie and Walker. No idea about the rest tbh. I am yet to place a bet as Jorge Masvidal is on a winning streak and both are durable fighters and i am confused on who to bet but the Gregor Gillespie fight depends upon how Kevin Lee rectified his issues and what changes he made to his arsenal and his stamina is a big concern. When it comes to Johnny Walker whether his shoulder is completely healed after his post fight celebration is to be seen in this fight. |

Well... at least some of the blame should be taken by Shakib now. He is one of the most experienced international cricketers, having represented the national side in more than 300 matches. He was aware of all the ICC rules and regulations, and still chose to ignore them (for reasons only known to him). I still believe that the timing is very suspicious and the BCB is going for revenge. But how can you justify him, when he has admitted to the charges that have been levelled against him by the ICC?
As a player he should be well aware of the rules and regulation of ICC and i am sure the BCB does knew about these development too and once Shakib al Hasan regrouped the entire team members to strike against them the BCB had other plans and they did everything in their power to show the rest of the team members of the implications they will be facing if they are fighting against the board. It is really unfortunate to see his career end like this. |

He has agreed that some bookies contacted him for match fixing. The problem he facing is, this has to be reported to the International Cricket Council. He didn't do that, and now for this reason he has been banned from the cricket team for two years. I don't think he'll get back to form if he gets into the playing eleven after two years.
To get a ban now after Shakib al Hasan leading the strike against the BCB has everything to do with the ban and i was wondering how can these players strike against a cricket board and now we saw the final result, the man who was leading the strike is now banned from cricket altogether and his career is almost over and even if the ban is removed i do not think that he will be selected in the team once again. It is really unfortunate to see the Bangladesh's legendary players career to end like this. |

You are the one that would say is funny, because this thing should be a personal thing, if you advice everyone not to react, you are indirectly trying to turn the market to a redundant one, where there would be no much activities other than people just standing still and waiting for a pump to happen. The problem here is that many people invested in the long run and they are not planning to sell when ever the market goes down but the market will not function like that as the ups and downs are the beauty of the market as people with intraday trading skills will get the benefit . The sweetness of bitcoin trading is that we need people to panic for some to buy at cheaper rate while we need some people to FOMO for some people that have bought cheaper to make profit, if everyone behaves the way you want,
People tend to sell when there is a panic in the market and there is nothing you can do about it but majority of the market situation does not revolve around FOMO or FUD as i think there are institutional manipulation in the market since it is not regulated. |

LOL... You should have made the bet.. A few days back, UAE suspended 4 of their most important players for match fixing. All of them got banned for life. One of the guys who got whacked was Shaiman Anwar, who used to be their star player. The team morale was down, and it was evident during the first few matches (they lost to Jersey by a big margin).
After the suspension of those players UAE got defeated easily by Oman and then i thought they will be loosing all the matches but that was not the case as they won the very next game against Ireland then defeated Hong Kong and the only loss was against Jersey after that so i was not sure how they will perform as one day they will perform well enough to win but on bad days they perform terribly as we saw today and that is the reason i did not wage a bet. |

I don't understand the point in mixing politics with sports. Why can't we keep these two as separate? I understand that Indians (and the other South Asians such as Pakistanis and Sri Lankans) are very passionate about cricket. But historically, sports has been been used as a tool to cement friendship between various nations. But here it is being used for narrow political gains. If you look at the history between India and Pakistan they use cricket as a tool to cement their animosity and the political system is involved with everything as it is a money grab as the amount of money they are making is huge and hence you see the political connection, this is not happening in Asian countries but happening in Zimbabwe and other countries. One positive thing is the election of Sourav Ganguly as the president of the BCCI. He is not involved in politics (although there are rumors linking him to a political party), and he is someone who had represented India in the past. But along with Sourav, a number of officials got elected who got their posts thanks to political connections (Jay Shah, Arun Singh Dhumal.etc). The appointment of Sourav Ganguly is a positive thing that they did and he will some positive changes as the BCCI president and since he is not involved in politics he will do the best he can do to improve cricket. |

UAE vs Netherlands match for the first semi-final playoff ongoing right now, and it looks like the Netherlands will go through. UAE are struggling at 79/7 after 19.0 overs. But they made a remarkable recovery after being reduced to 15/5. What makes this match unpredictable is the fact that the pitch is offering a lot of bounce to the pace bowlers. And the UAE captain committed a blunder by opting to bat first after winning the toss. I wanted to place a bet for Netherlands to place a bet and the betting odds were decent but i have seen UAE playing well in some matches and with these teams you never know how they will perform as i have not seen all of their matches nor do i know their top players but i know Netherlands have some good players with experience but consistency is the problem, there is no way UAE could win the match with a low score like this. |

Don't be so sure. It is T20 format and the smaller teams do have a much better chance of causing an upset. If you remember, one of the Associate nations (Netherlands) had humiliated one among the big 3 teams (England) in the T20 world cup not once, but twice. The first time that happened was in 2009, when the Dutch pulled off a last ball thriller. The second time was in 2014, and the victory margin for Netherlands was very comprehensive this time.
England had a complete change in the team structure after these losses and with the team they have right now there is no way that any associate nations will defeat them, earlier they had a really good Test team but had a much weaker ODI and T20 players but now things have changed and i accept that T20 is anyone's game at a given day. Tomorrow we have Australia facing Srilanka, anyone expecting any upset, i am going with Australia to win the match looking at the dominance they had in the first T20. |

I don't believe all these predictions because it doesn't work that way
If you look deeper into his predictions you will understand one thing, with one tweet he made a million dollars and i bet he already made that kind of money during this time and his tweet was trending in the social media and many news outlet posted his vague words as some sort of golden predictions,all he did was he made a lot of money making that prediction and in a way he is intelligent and he knows just bluffing can make him earn a million dollars and he does not care if the price of bitcoin reach one million or zero. |

BMF on the planet event is here! (almost ) The video below is a must watch! There isn't gonna be a bout like this again imo. Not in a decade at least. Rooting for Diaz. And if you're putting action on him, do it now before the fan boy monies come in and move the line down. I hope they will carry on with the BMF belt and make it an open weight category and if that happens then we might be able to see some dream matches. Diaz was flagged and now he is allowed to fight and the tickets are sold out for this event and it shows the level of fans Nate has and the UFC never identified that until he faced Conor in a short notice fight which was a record breaking event. |

Now the cricket hunger nation is now getting moved towards other games. As a part now there is importance found for football.
India being a huge country we only produce world class cricket players but unable to built a world class players in other events because of the lack of facility, all the individual athletes who became world champions did so in their own effort and it is good to see that we are seeing more support to other sporting events which is healthy as everyone cannot be an international cricket player. I would suggest the BCCI to bring down the number of teams to 10 or 12 and this will improve the quality of first class cricket in India. Right now we have too many worthless and one sided matches in the domestic sector, such as Mizoram vs Mumbai and Nagaland vs Delhi. The smaller states needs to be given a chance, but why can't they compete as a combined side, rather than separate states?
If there are more teams more opportunity for players and more pool of players to select, so i am supporting more team rather than cut shorting these. |
