What a disaster! South Africa all out for 116 runs. They gave a target which is lesser than Srilanka in thier home ground. Arshdeep Singh took 5 wickets, Avesh Khan took 4 wickets and Kuldeep Yadav took 1 wicket. India needs 116 runs to win the first ODI match in this series. I don't think South Africa has ever batted so bad against India while playing at home.

Arshdeep Singh is the man of the match, he took the 5 wickets of South African big to big batsmen and that's why he got the award of player of the match.

In the big matches, CricInfo also tells their player of the match which is known as CricInfon's MVP, and Arshdeep Singh is also Cricinfo's winner. Arshdeep Singh lost his form that's why he dropped from the recent World Cup, and after that, BCCI gave him a chance to play again but he didn't perform in that against Australia but now he performs average in the T20 series against South Africa but he proved him in ODI.

Right now almost 90% of the whole ICC audience is Indian. So I do not think anyone is going to dare fight against India for anything

India keeps winning matches as they are the hub of cricket. Yesterday's match was lost by South Africa because of their batting, I know the bowlers of South Africa also played very poorly because they accepted the loss, if the batsmen did good batting then the bowlers also tried to take wickets.

Reeza Hendricks, Hendrik Erasmus van der Dussen, and Wiaan Mulder, these are all the players who made zero runs, and the other batsmen are equally played like them but at least they made lowest to lowest 3 or 4 and highest to highest 6, 7, or 12. So, this is not a good score.

South Africa vs India
You are right my dear friend. Both teams are equal in performance. They have played well in the ICC World Cup and still they are playing good. We can see the the T20I series which you have mentioned. One match was abounded due to the rain.
By the way the match is now started. Reeza Hendricks and Tony de Zorzi are the openers and they will face first. And they just collected 1 run in the first 5 balls. The performance will show that who will win the match.

Yesterday was the match between South Africa and India, and the team of South Africa played very poorly and that's why they should accept losing against India and on their home ground.

Reeza Raphael Hendricks is not able to make at least one run and from this line you understand he lost his wicket on zero scores, and the player who out him is Arsdeep Singh.
Rassie van der Dussen also made zero runs and he also lost his wicket to Arsdeep Singh, he is a good player but not in front of Arsdeep Singh, and Arshdeep is the man of the match due to these wickets.

It depends on a person's mental state, if they are lonely and gamble, they are not 100% addicted to gambling, it's just because of the frustration they experience and don't know where to calm themselves, even when they gamble, it's not just winning or losing, it could be an outburst. their emotions, usually people like this will recover after they have a calmer mind

We cannot say that only loneliness can make a gambler, a gambling addict. A lot of circumstances may contribute to make a gambling addiction. It also includes the behaviour of near and dear ones of the gambler and most importantly his financial situation.

Sometimes we feel that the loneliness of the gambler is making him an excessive gambler but we never know that if that person is having depression and due to this he is gambling excessively, that in turn results in addiction to gambling.

Sometimes, even kind behaviour towards the addicted person is really helpful for him to get rid of gambling gradually.

Pakistan women managed to win the third game on super over and avoided a whitewash. Overall its a good performance by Pakistan women in New Zealand. They won the T20 series and ended ODI series 2-1. Before this tour no one was expecting a win by Pakistan team. 7 runs were required in last over with only 1 wicket left but Pakistan women manage to score only 6 runs.   

First of all, Pakistan women after very poor performances in the previous series they won against New Zealand women. In the first 50 overs, both teams made equal runs, so that's why the game went on the super over.

The New Zealand team batted first and they gave the target of 251 runs in the loss of 8 wickets, and after the Pakistan women's team came on the batting, and they tied the runs, both teams made same runs so the match was tied and then the super over is a start and Pakistan won it, the main in the super over is Sadia because she made 11 runs in the super over.

PAKW Vs NZW

NZW collected 258/8 50 overs

Pakistan Women's team is batting at a target of 252 runs and they are up for the challenge. They have already collected 231 runs for 6 wickets after 47 overs. Pakistan Women need 21 runs off 18 balls to win and the equation is quite complicated. The game is now a fifty-fifty chance, if Pakistan women team can bat three overs then there is a chance to win while on the other hand New Zealand women team will have to drop wickets quickly and field well to avoid hitting boundaries and over boundaries.

Pakistani women's team openers played did not bat well, Muneeba Ali was failed to stay for a long time, and Sidra Ameen made around 20 runs but this is also not good because 20 runs Pakistan got by extras so we can't give respect to her runs.

After that Bisma Maroof came and she settles the game and when she came on the ground and made runs, hitting fours back to back so this type of performance produced the confidence to the whole women's team of Pakistan, and when they got confidence then they played well and led Pakistan to the win but at the end Bisma Maroof is the man of the match.

South Africa vs India

Today is the first ODI match between these two teams. And the South Africa has won the toss and chose to bat first. Both teams are good. Because we saw in the ICC World Cup. These two teams qualified for the Semifinal. But unfortunately South Africa disqualified for final match after losing the semifinal match.
India was good in the ICC World Cup. But here we can't say anything at this time Because in the T20I series both teams played two matches out of three matches and both win one one match. So these both have the equal chances so this is really hard to predict at this time. So let's see. The match will start after 10 minutes. Smiley
In 1st ODI South Africa won toss and made 116 for all out in 28th overs what a excellent bowling by Arshdeep singh takss 37/5 wickets in 10 overs and Avesh Khan took 27/4 in 8 overs Indian bowlers dominant on south africa team with his good bowling. After excellent bowling indian batsman chase down the target 117/2 in 17th overs Sudharsan and Shreyas iyer made fifties help his team to won this match by 8 wickets and 33 overs before india start their 3 matches series with 1st win. 2nd match will be played on Tuesday


Yesterday was the first ODI match of India vs South Africa, and the Indian team won that easily.

I can't belive that the South African team can play like that. This is an ODI match and South Africa gave the target of 116 runs and even though this target of 116 runs was not given even in routine T20 because if a team gives this target in T20 then they accept their defeat. So I don't have any idea that why they gave too low a target in the ODI, and this series was hosted by South Africa so they should win or show some performances.

Of course, it depends on the situation and the situation also depends on the person's point of view, or that means everyone has a different point of view and decision in every situation, even though according to them it is good to choose but maybe for other people it is not recommended and should be avoided.

Yes, some may think that gambling is work is wrong while others may have a different point of view. I think as long as you can balance between the office work and gambling, and the office work is not compromised because of your gambling, then it may be on to gamble at work.


Actually from the two things you mentioned that might be an option / chosen by others basically in common sense both are really bad actions, especially if you do it when you are focused on doing other things, especially in the workplace that provides you with income to survive, no matter whether it's alcohol or gambling or even illegal drugs which basically have a negative impact all of that should really be avoided, there is no reason that makes sense with whatever they say for a defense.

Office work give you income and you should not compromise of the office work because of gambling. Sometimes you complete the office work and have time, then you can gamble. but if there is a pending office work and you start to gambling, and ignoring the office work, then it is not only unethical but also you are not faithful to your job and duty.
1309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 17, 2023, 05:33:56 PM
Currently I believe I have no problem with gambling as I am in control of my spending in most gambling sessions. Of course, there are times when I am so caught up in the excitement that I make an additional deposit, but it happens very rarely.

Sometimes I feel that this problem is for those who have a lot of money to gamble and they usually overspend it and then when they lose money they complain about gambling and their losses.


To reduce the attraction to gambling I do sports. Sport allows me only to spend time with the benefit of my health, but also has a positive effect on the psyche.

When we are free and have nothing to do, then we only think of gambling.
If we can keep ourselves busy, then we will not play excessive gambling and this will keep us away from getting gambling addicted.
Things that involve the physical exercise like sports is much better to spend time and spend free times in those activities. When I am free I usually go to gym and which give me a lot of time busy.

New Zealand won by a huge margin of 49 runs. New Zealand were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets at the start. Will Young and Latham both batted till 25 overs in a good partnership.

That match was won by New Zealand against Bangladesh and in this match, the rain came to an end the happiness but somehow the match was played.

Anyway, if we look at the players of New Zealand who possibly do these all things so must take the name, Will Young, he played very well and he also made a century which helped New Zealand for the win. He also did very well fielding and if they didn't give him the award of man of the match, I thought cricket was not fair. this man played very well. What a game play by him.
1311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 17, 2023, 11:46:45 AM
Although there are many temptations that are difficult to avoid, as you said, by strengthening mentally and always trying to think positively, you can avoid these temptations. just think about the harmful effects of gambling if you do it excessively. gambling naturally does not overdo it is not a problem. with a strong mentality and also self-awareness in gambling it will limit our gambling activities, as well as reduce the risk of losing a lot of money. do not let savings be destroyed just because of gambling that is not necessarily clear that it will give victory.

No matter how strong you are with your mind and emotions, gambling is such a play that will make you move out of your boundaries and you won't even realize it.
I know many gamblers think that they will be playing gambling with care and responsibility but when they start playing, its hard to remember all those golden rules of gambling. Many people make emotional mistakes while they gamble.

Yes it's true, it's not strange to see gamblers who are careless with their actions, they can spend a lot of money in one game session expecting to win but in fact they lose and they continue gambling until they can spend their money in one game session, when it's true what you said, it's better to end it and come back tomorrow, who knows tomorrow is the lucky day.

I a gambler is spending too much money in one game, then it means that he is not aware of the money management in gambling or he is too desperate to win that he wants to risk a major portion of his money in a single game. Remember, if anyone makes this mistake, he or she will most probably lose and only a few chances that he will win by taking some aggressive moves.

As the match was reduced to 30 overs due to rain, New Zealand are batting aggressively and their target is to get over 250 runs in 30 overs. Since the opponent is Bangladesh, giving a target of 250 runs will be impossible for Bangladesh and Bangladesh cannot bat on a target of 250 runs at the New Zealand venue and must be ensured. Bangladesh did well in the beginning, but in the end, Bangladesh is not able to take advantage at all and is giving close to 10 runs per over. As a result, if New Zealand takes runs like this in the remaining overs, it will surely go above 250 runs easily.
New Zealand started batting with a target of 25 runs, but New Zealand did not seem to be able to score 25 runs. New Zealand is already losing wickets fast. Right now New Zealand have scored 236 runs in 29.3 balls for the loss of 5 wickets. However, if Bangladesh can bat a little better today, it may be possible to win against New Zealand. But hope Bangladesh can perform well and win today's match against New Zealand.
NewZealand outstanding performance against Bangladesh and won the 1st ODi match by 44 runs by DLS method. The player of the match is Will Young for his amazing batting performances scored a century 105 runs in just 84 balls and set a good total of 240 runs for Bangladesh in 30 overs. Bangladesh only manage to score 200 runs by loss of 9 wickets in 30 overs and lost match by 44 runs. From Bangladesh Anamul Haque played good inning of 43 runs in 39 balls but his strike rate it not too good and Afifi Hossain only scored 38 runs in 28 balls but failed to chase down the target. Josh Clarkson outstanding bowling performance picked 2 important wickets.

New Zealand lost their seven-wicket and the player who came to bat in this seven-wicket was played very poorly but some players made runs like Will Young and Tom Latham.

The other player just made zero runs or one run. Rachin Ravindra, and Henry Nicholls both failed to make runs. The both players made zero runs and both used just 2 balls. Josh Clarkson, The vice-captain Tom Blundell made just one run and after one run they lost their wicket.

Adam Milne also made one run but he was not out because the innings was finished. Mark Chapman made 20 runs but it is not good runs, they don't had any advantage of those 20 runs.

In West Indies vs England 3rd T20I match, finally england afford to win against WI this time as they already lost in 1st & 2nd T20I match against West Indies. WI did same performance as before where Nicholas Pooran made 82(45) and scored 222 run as target but nowadays england can't develop themself and continuesly giving poor performance. Even this time in 3rd T20, england had high possiblity to lose again cause only few balls left for big score but Harry Brook is the man who did 31(7) and made great contribution behind archiving victory of England. Although can't deny the contribution of Philip Salt 109(56) who did his first T20 century behalf of England.

Yesterday's match was won by England against West Indies, this is the first match that won by England against West Indies in this T20 series.
Phil Slat is the man of the match and he played very well, he made a century in just 50 balls, which means he multiplied by 2 their balls and he scored the answer of multiply by 2 of balls. In simple words, he made 100 runs in 50 balls, and also he took two catches that helped England to win this match, and maybe this is a match that changed their record.

They played well, that's why they had a great victory, the player of the match is Phil Salt, he completed his century and he also took catches of big players, he is the best player in England and when he starts so he always led England to the win.

It was huge upset at the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. In India's case they were not in good form anyway, as they had lost a group phase match against Pakistan earlier. But wins against Afghanistan and Nepal enabled them to qualify for the final. But then, Pakistan (who had defeated India) went down against United Arab Emirates. And the irony is that most of the UAE players are Pakistani citizens. No one would have imagined that UAE and Bangladesh would be the two teams playing the final match.

The unfortunate thing happened in the both Semi-Final because we are all think that the final was played in between Pakistan and India because Pakistan had a match with UAE, and the UAE team is very small and didn't have any good record in the past, but we had an upset.

Today is the final match of UAE U19 and Bangladesh U19. and literally, not too many people had an interest in seeing this match because two small teams played the match and those people who have seen this match are just wasting their time, and as you all know this U19 Asia Cup only we can see on Asian Cricket Council official YouTube channel .

There they did livestream and not too many people see this stream they have a watching of 100k, I know this is reasonable number but if you have previous stream so you know that Pakistan team and Indian team matches always crossed 1 million in the live stream so 100k didn't have any value in front of 1 million.
1315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 17, 2023, 07:06:48 AM
I already know that gambling is a luck base stuff and anything based on luck is not in your control, so I play with care when I play and I'm not always playing so I don't have a problem with it. It is difficult to stop gambling addiction and it is worse when you are having it as the source of income then you will find it difficult to quit.

For someone to quit gambling by themselves, it means they are not so much involved in it and so they can still control themselves. This is the reason to gamble with what money you can afford to lose and not to heavily involve yourself with the hope that it will favour you at the end. We know numbers of posts here on people who have taken away their lives because they lost hugely and probably money that they borrowed. But if you are gambling responsibly, you won't have gambling problems and to stop will be easy for you to only discourage yourself that you have not been winning is enough.

Gambling addiction is not so easy to get rid of as some people think that individual can himself get rid of his gambling addiction problem. He is gambling addict because he is unable to control over his emotions , he is unable to stop himself from gambling so he need some cure , some external help which can help him to recover back to the normal situation.

Gambling is only profitable and entertaining for those who are moderate to gambling and who knows how to control their finances in gambling. If we are unable to save our money in gambling then I am afraid gambling is not for us.

Today will be the third match of England vs West Indies T20 series.

Today is the golden chance for the West Indies to win the match and then win the T20 series. This is a golden opportunity for the West Indies team to make history and they won't get an easy chance for this.

We have still three matches left in this T20 series and West Indies have to win anyone of them to have the series in their name. But they should keep it for the last T20 and try to win today.

West Indies won the first match by four wickets and the next by 10 runs. I don't know how will England play today's game as it is do and die for them. Also, if they lose, what excuses will they have for this bad performance? Since the 2023 ODI World Cup, there seems to be some series problem with the West Indies team.

With gambling, you chose on who to bet when to bet , once you do you you wait for the outcome at a fixed time!
With trading you chose your pair coins, you have to wait for the price to reach what you think it's an entry point and then set limits , watch the damn numbers even for days, even if you cash out in profit there can always be a regret you haven't kept the position opened.

So prove me wrong (if you think I am), what am I missing?


You may be right in your analysis but one thing is for sure. Trading is more certain than gambling meaning you are more in control of your trade to close them when in profit as compared to the gambling results which are luck based and no one have control over the win and losses.

For me, if i win money, then i become relaxed and it is also entertaining for me, no matter it is trading or gambling, As money makes you relax and you only feel fun when you are on the winning side.

So, from this point of view, Gambling has less chances of winning as compared to the trading but still, if you can make money from gambling, nothing is more relaxing and entertaining than gambling.

Today, there was total two matches of this ICC Women T20 World cup qualifier competition.

Other than this, today is the first ODI match between South African women and Bangladesh women, and at this time, both teams played well and the 13 overs were passed so we cannot say that who can win this match.

South African women's team try to take the wicket of Bangladeshi women but I don't think so that they will get succeed in this mission too early. Bangladesh played very well and I am sure that if they maintain this run rate so they can likely to win this match. Let's see if they maintain that or not.

Shamima Sultana lost her wicket and made 34 runs. She was looking good before she was out by Marx. A good total by the Bangladesh team can put the South African team under lot of pressure.

Pursuing to become a millionaire in sports betting with that method will just create a delusional thinking and will be out of focus. In sports betting, it's better to have consistent wins instead of always dreaming a huge money winning in return with only the use of a small bet.
Yes, it's the same as when we work and get the money. As I know, the professional gambler is just a worker who gets the money daily. I have rarely heard a professional gambler just make a big money on 1 night. they sure didn't get rich overnight but gradually and the same as work on the main office. If we heard a gambler just won and to be millioner on one night, it's certain he's not a profesional gambler, but a person who have luck and maybe will get lost and poor again when he continues gambling. In fact, Someone who makes gambling as a job just to earn a little money but daily just to meet his living needs.


Professional gamblers for sure have sponsors to support them in their game, for sure they are skilled and talented which is why they are considered professional which is why some companies sponsor them. Sure they cannot be rich overnight but if you have the funds and can continue to play, you could still get rich in a long period of time, the downside is no matter how much you win, you will still split it with your sponsors. With that, you can say you can make a living with gambling, but you won't be a millionaire with that method cause gambling still rely on luck despite on your skills and talent, you just reduce the risk of losing with your skills.

Getting a sponsorship for a gambling is a separate thing and we cannot say that if a professional gambler or a popular gambler is getting a sponsorship money therefore he is making a lot of money through gambling. Correction, he is making money through the sponsorship and not through gambling.

If anyone is making a lot of money through gambling then I will like him to make money only from gambling and then tell to people about it, getting the money from sponsorships and all such stuff will not count in gambling.

Yes some maybe some lucky gamblers who can make millions in gamble and betting but they are very few of them and the majority of the gamblers are either in equal loss or profit equation and majority of them are in loss.

Pakistan middle order collapsed on the 3rd day. 6 wickets gone for only 200+ runs, the current situation is bad for Pakistan. They would need 70 more odd runs to avoid follow on and the last known batter they have is Saud Shakeel. If he gets out then Pakistan would be in big trouble. I wasn't expecting Babar Azam to bat so poorly, he only got 21 runs today.

Pakistan came at the last minute and got all out under the pressure of the wicket. In fact, I think Pakistan team players do not have the endurance to play Test matches, because they could not stay on the field for a long time. Nathan Layon took 3 wickets alone, Pakistan managed to score only 271 runs in the last minute under the pressure of Australia bowling. In the first innings, Pakistan team is behind a lot and going into the next match, Pakistan team will surely face a lot of pressure.


The Pakistan team has been all out in the test match against the Australian cricket team. The all batsmen of Pakistan didn't play well.  Imam Ul Haq is a very slow player, he takes too many balls to make just some runs, can you imagine he made 68 runs in 199 balls, how many balls he played and he make just some runs, this is a mistake by the PCB chairman that they selected him. I think Ireland's team test batting is much better than Imam Ul Haq's. He is not an active player in making runs.

Also Abdullah Shafique didn't play well in this match against Australia. He made just 42 runs, which is good runs but as he used to play balls, he should made at least 60 or 70 runs but unfortunately, he lost his wicket, He missed his half-century by 8 runs.
