For gambling point of view, I guess I got nothing to do with women's cricket so far as odds were never convincing to me and most of my favorite places are not covering these matches at first hand. But, I am encouraging few of friends to watch these matches and to get familiarize on betting on cricket as most of these women's matches are easily predicable.

The match has changed completely now NZ has lost 8 wickets and I do not think they will last till the end of the day. I was expecting Young to score his 100 but it seems he was pretty much struggling today. From India's side, Axar Patel took 5 wickets and he is the person responsible for the debacle of NZ batting. Good comeback by the India team

This was inevitable. Cricket also needs to move from country-based tournaments to franchise leagues with teams comprising players from multiple countries. Look at football. Leagues such as UEFA Champions League, English Premier League, La Liga and Serie A are much more popular when compared to the international tournaments. FIFA tournaments still have a place, but they don't engage in useless bilateral tours very often. I would like cricket to move in the same direction, and this will result in more revenues, more T20 matches and will avoid lop sided matches.

He's 37 years. A break at this point means an end to his international career. But no sympathy for him. He should have been aware of the consequences. The allegation was filed by 47-year old Renee Ferguson. I am not sure whether this was some sort of a honey trap. But in either case, Paine should have been more careful. This is not expected from someone who is married with kids.

There are many who have got there profits from PoC backed MASS. One thing you need to keep in your mind is that whatever you wanna do with a coin do it when its on its initial stages. Once a project goes to final stages i.e. its launched or is on exchanges its very difficult to gain profit.

Its burning token on transaction's what's new in it ?

Even the central bank digital currency is the same as the Fiat, all of them are all about inflation: as the government continues to print more paper money the value is going to decrease, and this will also affect the central bank digital currencies because they are tagged to the Fiat.

Right from time, Fiat has never been a better option to hold, if you are using fiats for your savings or as an investment then you are just going to be losing, because it’s of no use. Yes I do know fiat is important because we use it  on a daily, but it shouldn't be bad to try and invest in other things such as Bitcoin and other stocks like gold and the rest of them. This is very important if you would like to save your value in future.

First of all Afghanistan should not be playing international cricket right now. The country is being ruled by a terrorist organization which is regularly committing mass murder and genocide. Allowing them to participate in the ICC tournaments gives some sort of legitimacy to the terror regime there. Teams like Australia have asked the ICC to suspend them, but the BCCI doesn't want that. So forget about the additional funds. They should be happy that they are still receiving some funds from the ICC.

Oh didn't consider the factor that International cricket is not played there. Getting Test status isn't what gets you the best talent, what gets you good talent is the popularity of the game in your country, only when the kids and youngsters see the game on their televisions, this is what drives talent towards the field. Cricket in Bangladesh got popular only after the Bangladesh Premier league followed by their performances in Asia cups and Bilateral series until 2014-15 they didn't play a lot of test matches. And they do have some legendary bowlers in making like Mustafizur on number 11 in ODI rankings and Mahendi Hasan bowling well too. Even in batting guys like Tamim Iqbal and Mahmuduallah who have performed consistently throughout their careers.

Bloody hell.... Sexting scandal, Paine is gone. Surprisingly it happened in 2017-18-ish but CA still handed him captaincy after Sand paper gate.

Too much cricket can be a reason but none of the players wants to miss IPL and neither does BCCI. Two more teams mean more chances for new and upcoming talent and $2 billion earning for BCCI. In the recent T20 with the NZ the team has performed exceptionally well under the new captain, which also proves that the leadership in the WC was not so competent.

What do you mean no time limit? Yes, this might be a lengthy game, but eventually they have to settle the game, either by a win by Carlsen the favourite, or a if Nepomniachtchi can salvage a draw (good odds).

Well, you can just put your bet on it without watching the game itself and just check the results at the end of the day if you are a very busy person but love to bet on chess game.

Bangladesh are still quite inconsistent, in some tours they play as if they are the best team in the world and in other series you will see them losing against Scotland and skittling like an associate nation. No doubt that their future is too bright as cricket has properly developed now in Bangladesh, I was surprised to know that Bangladesh's board earns almost equal to Pakistan's Board and their leagues are equally popular. Winning at home is obviously easier for almost all the teams around the world, you can have pitched as per your strength, especially the asian pitches are entirely different from pitches around the world.

That is why the OP highlighted his last phrase on his post saying that this thread isn't created to encourage people to gamble more. It is about finding the positive attitude amidst dark clouds. You two are both right about each other's opinion and POVs.
Developing such positive attitudes unconciously is indeed helpful not just while we're gambling but it can be applied everyday in our life about that being optimistic even though you've had a hard rough day. And also, the ability to be consistent and being a risk taker despite the result. I believe told that experience is the best teacher and everthing we do have its own consequences and we are well aware in almost every decisions we make.

Well this is already huge and with two more teams in the IPL I think it will not become more intersting again as mor players from around the world can participate and with 10 teams now tournament will be much more longer and with more matches also means more income for BCCI, and I really hope this is used for thr betterment of indian cricket

Honestly, I don't know what I can say in this thread, even though I can play chess, but  I personally don't even follow the existing chess matches, because for me personally, playing chess is more fun than watching other people play, but I'm interested to see the match for the world chess champion between Nepomniachtchi and Carlsen, and I hope someone will share a streaming link to be able to watch the match, because in my place there is not a single local television broadcasting chess matches so far.
