I don't think thats an accurate statistic. If most millennials spent 8 hours gaming they'd have no time for work, school or a social life.
There is a point there but the new generation have less social skills as majority of the time they are online, new generation includes everyone irrespective of age as everyone has social media profiles and they will be spending time in it daily, you cannot blame just the millennials.

To sum it up, it is just a typical rant about youth being a failure going on since the beginning of times
That is true that every generation will blame the next generation for being too lazy and everyone goes through it  Cheesy. The things i used to hear was my parents used to walk to school while we have all the luxury Grin.
1282  Economy / Economics / Re: [DEBATE]: Cryptocurrency investment related on India facing threat for ban on: October 19, 2019, 12:16:25 PM
This is a tragic and a really, heart breaking news Ive read for this week. Imagine, Indian Government is planning to pass a law where people involve in cryptoinvestment will be sentence to a 10 year prison. Sound's really scary for those who will be caught.
There is nothing to be scared unless and until you are doing something illegal with the coins you hold and no one will be taking you to court unless you reveal that you are trading with bitcoin. I am not in India to fear the law even if they ban bitcoin as i do not have any hope with the ruling party who does not have the vision to make India better and all they do i to advertise stupid nonsense. I heard this news a long time back but there is no logic unless and until they book you for terrorist funding and so on.

There are multiple factors in play here. I don't think that the players representing United Arab Emirates get very good salaries. So obviously making some quick money always look attractive for these people.
That is the main reason because as you mentioned the players are not UAE citizens but contracted players and even their captain is playing on a part time contract and majority of them have full time jobs too  Cheesy.

A lot of money is being wagered even on matches involving the associate nations.
I will never dare to wage a bet in these small tournaments as majority of the matches will be fixed and that is the case with any club sporting events

And another thing to remember here is that none of the players representing the United Arab Emirates in cricket are citizens of the UAE. Most of them are Pakistani citizens, with some Indians and Sri Lankans to add the numbers. So international cricket is just a career option for these people. There is no patriotism here. And such players are even more vulnerable to match fixing.
It is a part time career for all the players and only recently they provided some full time contracts to some players, these Arab countries will be the only nations who will be getting a leeway from the ICC to involve contract players to play for their national team.

They could have done it when India were  3-39 and if they applied more pressure, there was a chance that they could penetrate in the Indian batting line up, but this did not happen. South Africa has the chance but luck did not favor them. India recovered well and once again they are looking to dominate the match.
The pitch was swinging in the morning session and hence the South African fast bowlers were able to pick early wickets and trouble the batsman but now that there is no help from the pitch and the frustration started for the South African bowlers as the Indian batsman is scoring freely and Rohit Sharma scored another century and if he could perform the same in foreign pitches as an opener then the quest for an opener will be over for the time being.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: October 19, 2019, 07:55:43 AM
South Africa to need to increase their scope to get more wickets and probably rap up the Indian innings by day end today. India have move to 128 runs with still 3 wickets down and if South Africa does not take up wickets now, the early advantage can slip away from them. Both Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane looking comfortable and set now.
To wrap India before the end of the day is highly unlikely as they have two set batsman in the crease and if they are able to pick wickets then they can put pressure and wrap up the game but it is highly unlikely as the batting order is too deep to irritate and frustrate the South African bowlers and even now the fast bowlers are tired and spraying the ball without any line and length and it is easy for the batsman to score runs freely.

So we had two upsets on day 1, with Scotland losing to Singapore and Oman beating UAE. The second one was not much of a surprise, since the UAE is facing some internal issues right now. Three of their key players (Mohammad Naveed, Shaiman Anwar and Qadeer Ahmed) were recently suspended for attempting to fix matches. So they are fielding a weakened squad.
That is suicide to fix matches where everything is monitored and their careers are literally over, i understand they wanted to make quick money by fixing matches because they might not be getting huge remuneration like the major teams but fixing matches cannot be accepted and these three changes can impact the entire team Huh as i am not aware of the team members. Life ban is the solution to avoid any of these to happen again.

71/3 Grin Proteas is in good position but i agree still good amount of batting left. if SA let slip Indians from this stage then no comment...
There is no doubt that South Africa got the best start in this tournament but India does have players who scored centuries in Test matches and it will not be a huge problem and it all depends upon how South Africa bat too, India has three spinners in the team and you mentioned earlier that it is a spinning track and there is no way South Africa is going to win this match  Grin.

In addition, I pay attention to how long the site has been working. If the site is newly registered, then perhaps as soon as it collects more deposits, it may disappear. Therefore, I choose time-tested gaming sites.
If you are putting money in a site you need to have the trust, i never visit new websites, i need to see their performance first and how they deal the customers and then i will start depositing small amounts to see the experience and then i might take a risk if i enjoy the experience, most of the time i will wage in sports and hence having a good number of betting options is important.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: October 19, 2019, 04:28:56 AM
once again India won the toss and elected to bat, Kohli is really lucky to win consecutive toss and in this pitch toss is a factor as the last days favors spinners and any touring team like to bat first rather than batting in the last innings, India lost their first wicket, Agarwal edged and taken in the third slip and if South Africa is able to pick wickets and put pressure then we will see a good match, India included Shahbaz Nadeem in the team and is making his international debut, i was expecting Kuldeep Yadav to be picked.
1290  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat Money Losing Worth, Bitcoin and Gold Getting Important on: October 19, 2019, 03:43:22 AM
Fiat and printing of money being controlled by government has only cause problems for common people. Therefore, it is best for us to go with bitcoin and free ourselves from anyone’s control and all such crisis.
For centuries fiat money is controlled by the authorites either the king who ruled the country, the dictator or the elected government and financial crises has been there for a long time and it is a cyclic process and all of them are caused by the stupid policies by the authorities controlling the market and it can affect the bitcoin market too.
1291  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we looking at Bitcoin down to $5K? on: October 18, 2019, 08:48:01 PM
True, Bitcoin is unpredictable and  any scenario is possible regarding price. However I don't believe that the price will go as low as 5000$ although that number has been spoken of very often. Some further corrections are possible but until the end of the year we will not see some major changes not in positive or negative way.
Even i do not see any major downfall in the market unless and until there is some terrible issue that could affect the entire market, the global financial market is also not that great and we might see a global meltdown in the near future as predicted by some of the financial experts and if that happens it will impact the entire financial market and even the bitcoin market.
1292  Economy / Speculation / Re: Day Trading for a Living? on: October 18, 2019, 08:11:17 PM
Yes, it is true that most of day trading lose. It is also because of their instinct about the market, even trading can also require you being lucky because once you are not lucky enough just like in gambling then you will surely lose. Your analyzation or instinct will also be nonsense.
Why would someone sell at a loss, even if you are day trading and if the market does not gives you the valuation you are looking for and the market goes down, why would anyone sell their coins at a loss, they can hold their coins till they reach the target price, people who sell the coins at a loss are the biggest fools and they have no business trading.
1293  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-10-18] ‘Trojanized’ Tor Browser steals Bitcoin from Darknet users on: October 18, 2019, 06:10:20 PM
A new report has revealed that a trojanized fake Tor Browser has been quietly spying on and stealing Bitcoin
from unwary Darknet users for years.
If you are not careful with what you download then you will end up giving your entire access to the hacker.

Aimed at Russian Darknet users, the malware is being spread through two separate websites claiming to be
distributors of the “official” Russian-language version of the popular anonymous web browser.
Scammers come up with original looking Phishing sites. If you are careful then you do not need to worry later.

Once installed, the browser allows the hackers to spy on users’ web activity, scrape form data, and – as it
turns out – steal their bitcoins.
If the software you use has a backdoor then it can monitor all your activities.
1294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: October 18, 2019, 04:31:32 PM
I never watched Jeremy Stephens before, so I have no clue about him, and how good he is.
If you look at his record he got many split decision losses and wins and has many fight of the night performances that means a lot about his fighting style. He is just 33 years old but he is a veteran in the sport as he had 45 fights till now and won 19 fights by knockout, both of the fighters are strikers and i am expecting another performance of the night kind of performance.
1295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Libra Just Got Its First Major Supporter in Congress on: October 18, 2019, 03:12:10 PM
Thought Zack and his Libra coin are under pressure from everywhere thanks to his other products breaching the  privacy of its users and have support from one congressman does not reflect the views of the majority, maybe the problem with this crypto is because it has a face!
The problem is that if the authorities allow them to start their stable currency then many companies will come up with their version of the coin and that will become another problem for the authorities, it is really interesting to see how the authorities will be dealing with the Libra project and how many countries will be supporting their centralized coin.

but don't you think that in order to make Bitcoin global we need some centralized coins??
It is not a bad idea either to have a stable currency, i really do not trust USDT and other stable currencies in the market right now and we need to have a trusted stable coin.
1296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is Literally Hitting the Road on: October 18, 2019, 10:56:30 AM
Other countries are really starting to look positive on cryptocurrency.
What countries are positive when it comes to crypto market and there are not much countries that changed their view recently.

I never thought of taxi as a good way for advertisement but the idea is really great actually. We're slowly getting more and more ways of crypto advertisement. It this will continue, population of crypto will even grow more. Hoping that I could also see this kind of crypto advertisement
Public transportation is always a good way to advertise anything and it is not a new idea, companies are doing that for a very long time and now crypto based companies are following the same route and it will reach the common people. If you country allows bitcoin based business then you will see crypto based advertisement.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: October 18, 2019, 08:51:59 AM
Not sure about Yair fight... and need to do more research and think about it
If you watch the fights of Yair Rodríguez and his losses he lost both times to strikers once against Frankie Edgar and the another was well back in his career and his fight against Chan Sung Jung he was loosing the fight till the last second of the fight and that crazy elbow earned him the victory, Jeremy Stephens hits really hard and he lost against top level fighters but his fight against Doo Ho Choi impressed me a lot and i am going with Jeremy to win the fight.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: October 18, 2019, 08:11:05 AM
It is true that there are popular tournaments like the World Cup etc take place irregularly, but this makes the clashes between teams like India and Pakistan even more satisfying. Also, the India vs Pakistan match craze has decreased with time due to one sided wins by India from a long time.
It is true that the quality of Pakistan players are going down and they are finding it hard to find quality batsman, they always had talented bowlers but their batting is their main issue and they are not able to identify any quality players while India on the other hand is going through the best time in their cricketing history with a good bench strength

Am personally looking forward to the T-20 World Cup at around this time next year where we will get to watch these teams in action.
T20 is hard to predict and anyone can win but ODI and Test match India will dominate Pakistan.

Wriddhiman Saha will not lose his cloves even Indian future plans are highly depending on Rishabh Pant.
Wriddhiman Saha was a stand out performer in the second test and he took some incredible catches and i am sure Pant would have being not that efficient like Saha and he is in the team for a reason as he is the best wicket keeper along with Dinesh Karthik and Pant has to improve his keeping and batting skills and there is no doubt he will be a future prospect, let him improve his keeping skills and then make a come back as he dropped some catches in the last series.

Still I am not very happy with the overall procedure but its not my decision to make how a company handles its business. Again: Money received so no issues with me!
They had the same issues in the past, the competition is increasing in the platform and majority of the sportsbook have instant withdrawals for small amount but cloudbet always delayed their withdrawals and if they do not improve their experience the site will loose customers as there are more options now in the crypto world and there is a new book coming up from a reputed team here from what i heard, i am using cloudbet for a long time and i wish they improve their performance.
