It is unusual to expect Bangladesh to win in these conditions. 100 runs is not much. But when 4 wickets fall for 45 runs, any team can have some hope. 26 out of 45 runs by Axar Patel. So the remaining four wickets lost by how many runs? If you think from this side, Bangladesh is ahead. But the pitch conditions were at the end of the day, hopefully it will not be the same at the beginning of the day. India will easily win this match. If Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer one of them stay on pitch, winning this match can be very simple.
The match have moved on the unpredicted side. Bangladesh have proved that they're the King in their home ground. India have lost 7 wickets scoring 78 runs. More 67 runs required with Shreyas Iyer and Ashwin on the crease. Last hope for India, losing one of the wicket will end the match. I believe India will loss the match in a small marginal difference.

It's anyone's game from here on in and it depends on the luck. With three wickets in hand, I still think India has an upper hand. Less than 50 runs are left to chase and this match is getting on my nerves now. Think what will be the feeling of those who have bet on this match.

The latest partnership is 37 runs and this may be the match winning for the Indian team. Shreyas is looking good at 26 runs and will be the key man if India wants to win this match. As the Indian team come close to the target, it become difficult for Bangladesh as they still have to take 3 wickets.
Shreyas and Ashwin were playing in a much responsible way according to the match situation. 24 runs required with 3 wickets in hand is a sure win for India. Earlier it was like Bangladesh winning the match, somehow India have managed to take back the winning momentum. Leveling the test series would've been a big blow for India, as they've already lost the ODI series.

OP have clearly mentioned about the games that needs to be played for a long to master it. To master the game playing against other players it takes time and continued betting would slow down the gaming process. It is always good to spend on games like chess, if someone is interested into player vs player games.

There is a saying, tokens are generated out of thin air. This suits with thes kind of scam projects that mainly focus on the scamming the investors and run away. In recent years this have increased much, as cryptocurrency is well talked freely. The same is used as an opportunity by scammers to make money out of the common people with false statements. This can be overcome only through proper learning about cryptocurrencies and the market.
1384  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Shiba INU tokens continue to rise? on: December 23, 2022, 11:45:06 PM

What real user cases has Shiba ? It can be used for gambling and has fast transactions and low fees but that's about it. It is just a meme coin as you mention, nothing more. When we get another bull market, we will probably see some new created memecoins (and other shitcoins).
Maybe it hadn't got much of use cases, but considering many other memecoins and altcoins in the market Shiba have got good number of use case. It is have got acceptance on theatres, restaurants, and in different purposes apart from gambling and fast transaction. The memecoin into the market have now turned to be a much developed project. So, projects similar to Shiba will exist and the growth can't be expected to be the same as Shiba.

Only Elon Musk have got the answer for this. He's not much into dogecoin for now. Maybe he can push the market all the way, but the bear market will be considered before making a manipulation through his tweets. If it is bull market, then he could've done the market push that takes the market to rise continuously for specific time period. As the market is in its downturn, it can be easily identified as manipulated move.
1386  Economy / Speculation / Re: The world is not doing well on: December 21, 2022, 11:56:35 PM
The world dependence on the dollar is certainly the biggest advantage of the dollar owner, the value will continue to rise so as to make many countries try to leave the dollar and look for other alternative payment systems, the presence of cryptocurrencies should be a solution for the world to be able to solve financial problems.
The problem is that it will not be easy for every country to implement cryptocurrencies into their payment and financial systems because every country also has rules that must be looked at before agreeing on any new thing to be implemented. So this is not an easy matter for all countries even though it is an option with the aim of making it easier for all countries not to depend on dollars which are in fact still accepted and still useful in almost all countries in the world.
More countries have begun to shift from dollar. Few countries have involved with direct transaction with their own currency. The recent one happened with India and Russia on the oil deal. India paid in terms of Ruble and now alternate trade mechanism to pay in terms of rupees is being designed. The same haven't gained the expected result. Everything have got transition time, and maybe more switching could happen towards bitcoin.
1387  Economy / Economics / Re: Hope for cryptocurrency in Nigeria. on: December 21, 2022, 11:50:07 PM
Positive approach from the government. The country that have got good number of cryptocurrency users, and still without proper stand from the government is really a mess. One side the government is showing its interest on making cryptocurrency legal and lift the ban. On the other side through its CBDC launch the government is trying to keep things under control.

Anyhow it is really good to make the best choice to support its economic uplifting. As in the above response, maybe considering it as the alternate could help in retaining the economy as it is the country to have the highest number of cryptocurrency users in the African continent.
1388  Economy / Speculation / Re: December Has always Proved to Be a Good Month For Cryptocurrency industry on: December 20, 2022, 11:56:38 PM
speculating the price of bitcoin by considering past prices is very difficult and uncertain.
The price of bitcoin in the past in December is just an example that bitcoin is really volatile and very difficult to predict.
in fact it's december right now and it's already getting to the middle of the month and bitcoin still isn't doing as well as you say.
there is no need to speculate on the price of bitcoin in market times like this and every month in the past will not be the same as the month of the year.
all we have to know is january to december are good months for bitcoin when we buy and hold it till ATH price
If the OP has data on what he's talking about then maybe the discussion will be very interesting. I don't know, but December this time is not very good for the crypto industry, obviously it is because of the FTX and FUD problems that are everywhere.

If December has always been better than any other month, then bitcoin should be trading over $30K by now before the end of the month. But so far I haven't had the market recover above $20K, so I don't think this December will be any better than June, July or August.
Agreed, the market isn't better than its previous months. It is known that the bitcoin price movement happens in no time. We've reached the last days of the year 2022. Even then price can reach $30k. However based on the prevailing market scenario it is really hard thing to happen. The year is good for all the cryptocurrency investors because it gave opportunity to invest as well as make profit out of the investment.
1389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slow down if you want to recover your losses on: December 19, 2022, 11:23:36 PM
Even at the slow down you're lucky to make the recovery. For everyone this won't work out. Gambling is all about luck, here it is being proven with the OP. Myself have got experience winning the lost fund in no time with the last few dollars, but the same gets lost the next day. So, the recovery goes useless. Any casino game will bring victory to make us happy, whether the happiness lasts or not depends on the luck. Angry
1390  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Dogecoin Dead ? on: December 19, 2022, 11:20:44 PM
There is no hype and there is no push from the Influencers. This keeps the dogecoin market stable without much of bullish move. Expectations over dogecoin won't end with success all the time. Right now it is time to hold, if not the better option is to move the funds towards somthing on the top list to experience the return at the shortest as we're nearing the year end.
1391  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what do you expect from cryptocurrency? on: December 19, 2022, 11:17:38 PM
Todays world's economy is not so good. High rate of inflation and many bad things are happen, also cryptocurrency market seems not so good either. But I think it is better to hold bitcoin rather than fiat as government seems that can't do something significant improvement on economic growth. Unlike my expectations for the world economy, I have good expectations to cryptocurrency especially bitcoin. Bitcoin has a good thing that called a "Halving" where it usually cause it price to rise, while other fiat don't have anything to expect except inflation. I would like to know about your expectations about cryptocurrency, please share your opinion.
While the value of fiat money decreased due to high market inflation, Bitcoin prices also suffer a decline. But guess what, we never see any recovery happens to fiat money which is far from what happens to Bitcoin. Though we see a huge decline in Bitcoin, however, we can never say this is meant to be forever as we know that recovery comes next after this bear season. Yet, we never know exactly what will happen to Bitcoin but if we mentioned fiat, you will be expecting a lower value in the future.
Agreed, the market scenario of bitcoin and fiat are moving on the same track. In all means it is assured of the recovery with bitcoin whereas the same won't happen with the inflated fiat. In all market situation if we keep ourselves strong and are with the focus on preparing for the worst, then we won't get hurt at any Market situation. Most of the experienced cryptocurrency users does it in the right way.

Bangladesh VS India, 1st Test India win by 188 runs. Since the defeat in the first two matches of ODI series, there have been widespread changes in Indian batting. They won the last match as well as the first Test match. There is another match left in the Test series and India probably win again. India's current batsmen are performing excellent performances. In the 1st Test match, the Indian Lower Batting Order Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav scored a 98 run partnership. As a result, India was able to throw a big target ‍and win the match.
Indian team's performance was highly anticipated. It was a team effort that led to this win. Kuldeep and Pujara were superb. Team India performed brilliantly. They are now closer to qualifying for the test championship finals. Having lost the ODI series, there was a lot of immense pressure placed upon them. Although late, the Indian cricket team has demonstrated some competence. With Team India's winning rhythm, Bangladesh could easily whitewash the two-match test series.
India's performance in the past few matches shows more than expectation. Losing the ODI series against Bangladesh was keeping them to be under pressure. December 22 next test match will be held where India will easily make the match on behalf of them. The batting weakness of the Bangladesh team is one of the major reasons for their defeat. India failed because of Miraj's expertise in the ODI match but that crisis is no more. I can firmly say at the moment that if India get any series again in the future then Bangladesh team may not only lost the series also have the possibility of whitewash.
The pressure have got subsided with the first test match win against Bangladesh by 188 runs. The loss of the ODI series is completely unexpected, because everything was a closer one. In the first match the match was won by the end player after losing 9 wickets making 50 partnership. In the second match India lost by 5 runs which looked like a winning and wasn't able to achieve it. As said India will give the best to whitewash the test series.

 I believe the problem with Bangladesh and other Asian countries women cricket team is the lack of support, and unless that changes we won’t really see them improve anytime soon. Furthermore New Zealand women’s cricket team is on the right track, and if they continue to further improve then they can definitely replace Australia who’re currently the number one team in woman’s cricket.
It is about finding the right talent and giving more opportunities for the Women's. National Cricket board cannot do everything, it starts with having clubs and then to zonal and then preparing them to play in the big leagues and the opportunity to make huge amount of money is not there either and there are a few clubs that have Woman sporting events like Cricket and hence the selection pool is really small and when that changes we can see the real change Wink.
As said, national cricket board can't do everything. But, it needs to take initiative supporting the Women's cricket. This lacks in the Asian countries and the same makes it a tough thing for the right candidate to reach the position. As suggested reaching through the clubs is good, even in that women won't get opportunity easily. This is how the boards were acting. To be frank, in every sports someone expects adjustment when it comes to women. When this changes, everything changes. Nothing offensive, just the reality with everything sporting.
1394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread on: December 18, 2022, 11:52:50 PM
Very congrats to Argentina but France and especially mbappe stressed Messi before it became victorious to Argentina, Argentina has and especially messi has tried his best to defeat mbappe and he achieve it by chance of penalty kick, without coman that missed France second penalty kick the victory of Argentina wouldn't have come to accomplish, messi is the happiest player in Argentina because of the world best he has received in this world cup. Very big congratulations to Argentina players.
That's the most dramatic game that has ever happened in the world cup. The good thing that gave argentina more advantage is france was not changing the tired players. that makes some players were losing their focus when the must be executing the penalty. Mbappe is the only one who is still fit even when it comes to the penalty while i was seeing his friends were running out of stamina against argentina. The france's coach must have replaced the players which got tired with the new players.
Congratulation for argentina by winning the world cup and messi with its first and last international trophy with argentina
Messi deserve it. After a long wait he achieved, and his contribution to the same is really big. The team that revolved with the name of Messi have won the Cup finally. After big prediction over the top teams, it was Argentina that got an unexpected blow from Saudi Arabia at the beginning.
1395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 18, 2022, 11:49:46 PM
Everyone were discussing about the best done by Mbappe and Messi. They played well throughout the match and created a situation that ended with penalty shootout. To me it is Emiliano Martínez, the goal keeper of Argentina is the true hero. He saved a penalty and increased the pressure on France. Following the same France player missed the penalty. So, his contribution need to be remembered and he has been awarded with the golden glove.
Messi does well in the match but mbappe was doing it even better than messi. Mbappe has become a very good striker in front of france and i guess france lose in penalty caused by france's players were tired. I can see that when the execution of penalty by mbappe's friend if they were not able focusing the shot into the goal. The argentina keeper has been doing even better compared with lloris in the penalty. Mbappe has become a key player in france which has been used by getting the hope by all of his friends.
France players weren't tired, but they're with pressure from the beginning. Somehow they managed to perform well at the end of the regular game time. During the penalty both the team players were with high pressure. The goal from Messi during the penalty is really nice, because he perfectly placed the ball without much power to the ball. Based on the match statistics it is Argentina to lead in ball possession which shows Argentina players to be much tired than France players.
1396  Economy / Economics / Re: How much longer until paper money is no longer in circulation? on: December 17, 2022, 11:55:46 PM
I don't see paper money going away any time sooner, in the near future central bank and co will still use paper money even if digital currencies have taken over the world, can't you see that government can't take control over crypto that's why the only option they have is CBDC and I doubt it will be a success in time.
Maybe because everyday our population is increasing if all people will use paper money it will be a problem in the future but then we cannot remove paper money to be used all over the world, because it is essential even though crypto will be available everywhere still there's more thing that only paper money can do, it will not be remove in each country's economic system.
It is true that paper or fiat money will not be replaced and if paper money is removed it is likely that it will create new problems as well.
so things like that have to be considered as well of course,
we never know what will happen in the future so we'll see
People look for alternate and they are not in a situation to leave the one they've used to. Paper money won't get replaced. To restrict people and keep them using fiat, governments have created the CBDC. We don't have perfect statistics on, how effective this is getting used around. Government always want the paper money to be used, but the methods might vary. So, in the near future or later we can't experience replacement of fiat.
1397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 17, 2022, 11:47:32 PM
Now after Morocco defeat and the experienced team of Croatia won, all eyes are fixed on Argentina - France game tomorrow and whether Argentina could take the third star or it is France that will grab it.
Argentina has some difficult games previously and they won quite hardly in few games. France had a better record if we don't count their defeat vs Tunisia since they didn't take it seriously.
It's surprising how Argentina came this far. Thy lost there first game in the group stage to Saudi Arabia and it seemed as though all hopes was lost for the team and they've got little to be competitive for but, here they are in the world cup finals. Giving L. Messi a last chance at the one trophy that have eluded him all these years and he's met with an opposition that is very challenging to think of anything but an easy win.
France is looking for a back - back world cup win and go on record while, Messi looks towards being regarded as the best of all time for Argentina. So much is at stake for the both nations and some individual players and with just hours away, we would clear all that. My guess is, we aren't going to have an extra time in this game. The title would be decided in regular time.
It was the loss against Saudi Arabia that made Argentina do their best later. The loss is really painful and unexpected, and the same kept them go harder and harder with the upcoming matches. When most of the expected teams started to loss, Argentina slowly progressed in a silent way. Now it is Argentina to win the trophy playing against the defending champion. Anyhow this is going to be really tough and hard to predict the result. The one hour thirty minutes is fast approaching.
1398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 17, 2022, 11:42:00 PM
It was a tough match for Indian bowlers but the batters entertained the spectators and fought really well, scoreboard will tell you a complete story.

I reckon Devika Vaidya's dropped catch was a tactical drop  Grin lol. India could've been in a better place if fielder magically hold on to that catch, it was a tough chance but it did work in their favor as she was batting slowly.


India could've won the match if the openers have lasted on the crease making good opening partnership. The same getting carried forward will ease the match. However the middle order have done their job in a perfect way. Losing by small margin will keep them confident and push forward to win the upcoming match against Australia Women though the series is being already won by Australia Women.
1399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: December 17, 2022, 11:36:56 PM
New Zealand women's team has performed very well in both the series ‍against Bangladesh women's team. The 3-match T20I series Bangladesh women's team lost and whitewashed. In ODI series New Zealand win one and the other two matches being no result due to rain. The performance of Bangladesh women's team has failed completely in this series. Recently Australia and New Zealand have been interrupted by heavy rains which has resulted in the suspension of several series of matches.
Teams at the bottom get to play against the top very rarely. Even at that time rain interruption is really bad, because the players never gain any experience or learning out of the match. Anyhow it is a winning series for New Zealand just because a match is being played and won. It is always good to locate venues in such a way it won't affect the match.
1400  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 17, 2022, 11:33:11 PM

I think Bangladesh have played fairly well in the fourth innings, i was never expecting them to win but a total of even 300 in the 4th innings is pretty decent considering what they made in their first innings.
I was not sure completely cause of Indian attack but i was counting for at least 80-90 overs grinds for bowlers in the 4th innings due to the historical record of Chattogram Stadium. Traditionally this pitch gets better to bat on as the match progress.

I mentioned in my previous posts that a couple of years back, the Windies chased down a mammoth target of 390+ in the 4th innings on the very same ground.
Not sure whether Bangladesh would be able to do the same, what Westindies did a few years back. They have already lost 6 wickets which most of their middle order has gone. The only strategy that Bangladesh would now apply is to drive this test match to a draw. Indian bowlers have done an excellent job till now. Another few wickets and the game goes in favour of India.
I don't think Bangladesh can drive the match towards a draw. If they plan to defend and extend the match this is surely going to be loss for Bangladesh. For now it is good to go with some agressive shots and bring runs. Maybe the same can increase the pressure on the Indian bowlers when a solid partnership is being built by Bangladesh.
