Harry Brook haven't performed well during the previous match, and in today's match he's performing good. Jason Butler and Harry Brook on the crease with Harry Brook at 77* runs and Jason Butler at 24* runs. Both making a big partnership will make England touch 300+ runs which will ease England bowlers. The fall of early wickets were now overcome by the partnership.

I have the same explanation To him and we all know that Once we can access to a gambling every day for sure that the addiction is very high and also it will make more higher if when a gambler play and win His or her bet. While in the physical casino of you have stable job it will make your time conflict. As we all know that you can not bring the casino everywhere. While online casino you can play whenever you are .
Online casinos run realtime without time limits and can access them anywhere using a mobile device so you can instantly access online gambling. Efforts to overcome online gambling addiction must have other work routines to reduce cellphone use activities, you will automatically not access online gambling so always doing this habit will reduce gambling addiction except in spare time.
Agreed, these days majority of the gambling activities were happening through mobile devices. In these days it is really hard thing to reduce the mobile phone usage. If the user himself agree that he's addicted he can take necessary action to stop addiction. The prime thing one can follow is using games that can be played free of charge. Over time he can slowly get out of addiction and have control over his activities. If this didn't work, good is to set a budget to spend on gambling for a month. Beyond the budget, you should not spend whether it is on the losing/winning streak.

South Africa's team was looking strong in this match. England also tried very well. Both teams were good. In my point of view the match was interesting. South Africa made 298 runs and they gave 7 wickets but on the other hand England was trying to win but unfortunately England's team got all out in 44 overs and made only 271 runs. From South Africa team Rassie made century(111) on 117 balls.
And in the England team Jasson played well he made 113 runs on 91 balls.
Both teams played well.
England are a much stronger side than South Africa in comparison, but sadly England have lost seven of their last eight matches with just one win on their report.  But England has performed well in every match. They scored 146 runs for no wicket in 19.3 overs in the last ODI match where they were bowled out for 271 runs against a target of 299 runs. Here is the great failure of England. Roy, David Malan, Josh Butler, except these three batsmen, none of them could perform well. So the first match was lost due to poor performance.
England has always maintained its position at the top level of the ICC Cricket Rankings but in recent times they have had to drop down a bit from that position. Especially in the ODI ranking, England is currently at the 4th position. New Zealand is one step ahead of them. New Zealand have played a total of 29 matches with 3229 points and England have collected 3450 points from 31 matches. However, in ODI cricket, they will again bring good form with the upcoming ODI World Cup.
According to my suggestion England team should change something in the teams that will better for the team. Because they are now coming down and this is not good for the England team. If this team want to stand in the ICC world cup they need much more practice and should resolve the mismanagement issues.
By the way Good luck for South Africa team.
The present squad have got good set of players. Something lacked in the previous game, the players can give the best. It was supposed to be a winning match for England, fortunately South Africa took credit of the last moments. Today's second match will be more interesting and England will surely go for first batting if they win the toss. Scoring 300+ runs seems to be interesting and today we can expect good performance from the middle order.

Dana White is truly an interesting person. He is a very good organizer and show manager. I have no doubt that he will organize the Power Slap League very well. However, I could not decide whether this event is a sport or not. In my opinion, this is not a type of sport. It has nothing to do with sports directly. However, Dana White can turn it into a very popular event and earn huge bucks. We have all seen what he did in MMA. Even if he cannot achieve the same success, he can perform a good organization.
Agreed, Dana into slap league organization makes it more interesting. His involvement will surely make more people watch the event. This guy have got the ability to make nothing to a much better one. Majority have the same thought, it isn't type of game in which betting can be done. MMA is far better, because the harming is entirely different whereas with the slap tournament directly hitting on the face is really worse. I don't think much people will enjoy watching these kind of events.
1245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of accepting bitcoin in business on: January 29, 2023, 03:44:11 AM
For example, so people may accept bitcoin to show support for the technology or to do transacting business with people overseas easy or maybe because of the zero-transaction fee.
I think transaction costs are not zero but they are cheaper and faster than using fiat currency, especially when making transactions using inter-banks both domestically and abroad.
Before I've seen times where it's most likely zero transaction fee but now, it's no longer zero fees. But yes, the fees are not that expensive and they're cheaper today.
And there was a point of time during the 2017 ATH wherein the fees were too excruciating for the majority because if you won't pay for the higher fee, you'll get stuck for so long.
Agreed, the transaction fee have got connection with the increase in the price of bitcoin. Over time the transaction fee have decreased and it have become common payment gateway. People felt the difference of transaction cost between the traditional ones and the bitcoin transaction. With bitcoin transaction people experienced the good of sending without limits whereas with banking it requires more process to be fulfilled.

It takes time for people to get used to bitcoin payment. For now limited locations have got bitcoin acceptance amidst the legality of the country. Slowly looking upon different stores and services offered for bitcoin acceptance we can experience all levels of people using bitcoin with ease.

Saving bitcoin for your children's future is a fantastic concept, but given the volatility of bitcoin, it will be challenging for parents to hold onto their investments over the long term without being driven to sell when the price is falling or rising.

You can't save without using wisdom, thus if you want to use bitcoin to save for your kids' future, you must do it wisely. Suppose you bought bitcoin when it was inexpensive for your children and sold it back when it was expensive (4 years invested plan of the bearish market and the bull run).
Saving bitcoin for the kids is really good and a must for each and everyone who have understood about bitcoin. Each and every parent take responsibility and do investments for their kids. So, investing on bitcoin will assure with the better rewards for their kids than mere earning out of traditional investments.

When it comes to cryptocurrency investment parents need to be careful and observing the market good. Only then they were able to maintain the portfolio. With traditional investments, it is possible to invest and just leave it for the mentioned time period for the return. This means there is risk with cryptocurrency whereas the risk is low with traditional investments.

Money causes a lot of negative emotions to many and it triggers a lot of negative attitude, and I can say that many proves that money is the root of all evil because they tend to fall on that trap and doing things that is not supposed to be. No matter where you came from, you can still fall into this trap so make sure to be more responsible and treat money as your partner to success and not on negative things.
Everywhere money is the big problem. When someone is in need of money they are into illegal and criminal activities. The root cause for money in most of the countries were the poverty. These days governments take adequate measures to protect people from poverty which have lowered the crime in different countries. Growing inflation is another reason which needs to be considered by the government. Creating job opportunities is another thing that needs more importance. Anyway compared to the past years more crime have decreased as a result of better governance and technology like surveillance all around.

She was not satisfied with the amount that she won already, she wanted more that was why she ended up losing everything, i don't know why she have to gamble with the money that belongs to the class, she is definitely addicted to gambling because the person that's not addicted to gambling won't have the courage to gamble with the money that's those not belong to him or her. The funniest part is that she won 5 times but she was not still satisfied, she wanted to win more money.
He is very greedy and does not realize he is using other people's money in his gambling, even though he has won 5 times but he does not stop gambling, even though he can get the winning money for him and return other money to his coffers, he has been heavily addicted to gambling because he should only chase victory and leave gambling.
If I'm not wrong earlier she could've practiced the same and made some money. This time she have gone with the big money which is the bad part. Initially she might have experienced profit, but the greed had made her go for big rolls and the same have caused her loss big. Anyhow she had good learning that we should not use others fund. Everywhere this is the problem same as what happened with FTX
1249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big on: January 28, 2023, 11:48:53 PM
I doubt casinos take the time to lower the chances of a gambler winning based on their location, sometimes we hear about casinos restricting some users because they are professional gamblers or sometimes even bans are issued as the gamblers are trying to abuse the bonuses given by casinos, but I have never heard of a casino giving worst odds or lower payouts for the same bet based on their country of residence, and if this was ever found out to be true a backlash would ensue so I doubt it will ever happen.
I also don't believe the casino will make a difference in winning odds based on location or country, all winning odds will be the same for all gamblers regardless of location, so that statement is just a person's assumption because he often loses in gambling and not a fact of actual gambling, all platforms the casino targets more users from all countries that are not prohibited under the regulations of each country.
Myself too doesn't believe in it, but there are differences in Winning when you play on different time zones. I came across similar incident and tried to cross check and found it to be winning when we play on the Western time zone and loss when I was on the Asian time zone. This is just a coincidence, which I later understood when I took the overall profit and loss between the two time zones.

With gambling you'll experience loss for sure. It can happen in the long run or at the beginning itself. With most of the gamblers they'll have early day luck. People who use it in the right way and makes an exit will enjoy it and some out of greed losses in the same day. Just because one have won and withdrawn the winning doesn't mean he have beaten the house.
1251  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My step to promote bitcoin on: January 28, 2023, 11:42:54 PM
Good step, because one in ten will surely try to Google or read some article to understand what is bitcoin. Understanding the real meaning will surely land him into our forum or somehow he will try to experiment and starts using it. Through some means we need to keep promoting bitcoin to reach the real purpose for which this is being innovated. Word of mouth spreading works more effective than any other means and what he does is something similar to word of mouth spreading.
1252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 24, 2023, 12:10:48 PM
I was expecting a target of 400+ when I saw both the Indian opening pair hammering the Kiwi bowlers. As usual the Indian middle order and to an extent the lower middle order again failed to utilize the start given by the openers. Only because of Hardik & Thakur that India was able to give a target of 389 runs. Again disappointed by the performance of Kiwi bowlers.
The score was predicted to go above 400 runs based on the performance at the first 25 overs. Further the scoring took place with wickets falling at regular time interval. Everyone contributed to the match scoring two digit runs. It was Bracewell who gave the break, if not the match could've seen 400+ runs. This is nothing disappointing, same seems to be the condition of Indian bowlers as the pitch favours batting.
1253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 24, 2023, 09:51:22 AM
Sachin with Ganguly have got the highest first wicket partnership for India scoring 258 runs. In today's match if Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill play without going for big shots as the run rate at present is quite good. Rohit Sharma at 101* and Shubman Gill at 103* after 26 overs. India at 212 runs without wicket loss. The pitch seems to be in favor of batting and similar performance can be expected from New Zealand players.
1254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 24, 2023, 08:10:18 AM
New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl. India have begun the innings, and not much of change in the Indian squad. Everyone believed that India will play with new squad as they have already won the ODI series. Holkar venue is a lucky ground for India, as they've won every ODI played in this ground. New Zealand will try to restrict India within 250 runs which increase the winning probability for New Zealand.

Life in my country hasn't changed much, as the spending is always limited and there is nothing spend on luxury and other things to show your status. Most of the time people suffer financially when there is much of unwanted expenses. Being in a third world country the cost of living isn't big. In the big cities the living cost have increased whereas the income remains the same. In rural part of the country the living is much on self reliant that makes the people lead life in any situation.

I'm really not sure which of the remaining tennis players in the tournament can stop Djokovic on his way to the title. Tsitsipas? I don't think he's ready yet.
You can't beat Djoković in his game which De Minaur proved today. One of the better movers and counter punchers on tour was scrambling to get anything in the match against Djoković. Only way you can win against Djoković in form is to shoot trough him.

Rublev on his day can do that and I actually think he could be a test for Djoković, problem is Rublev has troubles of keeping his levels high and once Djoković enters his head it will be all over. Just hoping Rublev will open strong and give us the match and maybe some juicy odds on Djoković.

It would be great to see Rublev actually win the tournament, he is such a hard worker
and is very hard on himself. His weakness I think is is mental ability....although he showed
strong character to come back in that final set today and win....even with a bit of luck with a
net ball! First he has to get past Djokovic on Wednesday

Of course Djokovic knows all this and will be using it against him for sure.
When someone other than Djokovic wins the title the tournament become more interesting.
In the present scenario it is really hard for anyone to compete against Djokovic and win the title.
Rublev is hard working, but it looks like luck doesn't favour him.
Let's see what's gonna happen with the upcoming matches,
because in recent days more unexpected results gave come out.
1257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: investment in bitcoin should be short term or long term. on: January 23, 2023, 10:15:02 PM
i am a newbie in bitcoin, and i plan to buy bitcoin,, and will invest in bitcoin, and i want to ask everyone? if investing in bitcoin is it better short term or long term??? but in my opinion, long-term investment is better, but what do you think?

You should buy Bitcoin and hold it for dear life as it is supposed to skyrocket sooner or later. Due to Bitcoin fundamentals, the option will always be to hodl. In case you want to speculate then yes, you should hold ot short term.
Every investment is subject to risk ans bitcoin is no exception to it. In this regard studying the market is a must to take decision. Investment should be long term if the plan is to hold ans short term plans should be for the purpose of trading. No one have ended with loss out of the long term holding. Short term profiting have risk, but the profit will be high in very less time than any other form of investment.
1258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Basra Stadium Stampede (football match). on: January 23, 2023, 10:08:30 PM
And my position here is, who's to be blamed in such situation just like this one at Basra stadium, Iraq. Is the fault from the side of the football fans or is due to poor organisation from the side of the organisers? 
i read that the stampede started when ticket collectors turned back fans who had been sold fake tickets by some scammers, if it's true i would say it's the fans fault, if you're ticket is fake you can't come in, and organisers can't prevent anything when a whole crowd decides to go nuts and break the rules.

If there is enough security, I do not think ticketless fans will overpower the security.  Besides the main job of security is to control the masses inside and outside the vicinity so having a group of aggressive people to overrun the situation means the security isn't capable.  Also, the organizer failed to size up the possible number of crowd  while the security fail to identify the process of the situation not getting under their control.
There might be lack of security as well as corruption as fake tickets were into circulation. After a long this is a bad incident, also people can't be controlled beyond limits when there is no proper planning. The security system will be at the ratio of 2:50 which isn't enough to handle pressure situation.

He should've made some other plans to stay anonymous and receive the winning. This is an example, not to trust anyone in money related activities. It is common thing that people fear about winning. Recently in my country a winner stood away from his home as people keeps coming home requesting for help. At some point he went almost to a depressed state as he wasn't able to enjoy the win.

Those who are true cricket lovers must give importance to Test cricket. But the big hurdle here is time. To enjoy a Test match you have to put your work aside. Besides, this cricket has become more difficult due to the fact that it lasts for a few days. Since time is a major constraint, it is clear to everyone that the outlook for this cricket is not good. Besides, there is no interest in this cricket anywhere except a few countries.
Agreed, cricket lovers prioritize test format cricket in which it is possible to see the real game of the players. With most of cricket fans, the time is a big problem. For the same reason other format of cricket have taken the place. However with the involvement of few teams into test cricket it is possible to watch some good cricket. We don't know how long this continues, because today we were able to see three T20 league taking place simultaneously. BPL, BBL ans SA20.
