Moreover, the West Indies cricket board should forcefully retire him from the international cricket if he's not willing to provide his services for his original team for some other stupid T20 leagues.
I think that not the right way. A player can play according to their will. Denying to play for the national team does not mean that they can not continue in other international leagues. A player is free to sign up with any team/league.

We have seen AB as an example. The same with football to I think.

~snip~

One or two expensive over can turn a match in T20 format, West Indies has more benefit on this  Grin
This same statement applies to India too who possess some hard hitters who can finish game on their day. It all comes down to how good each side bowls at the end of the day.
Seem like a lot of us is thinking West Indies can make an impact and win the T20 series :-)

The extra pressure for India is to maintain their standard and perform according to the expectation. This is a huge disadvantage for India. If they can not handle the pressure then they will suffer and if they perform bad in the opening match then game on for West Indies.

Considering the T20 team, WI have some strong batting line up once Andre Russell is back. IN T20 WI are the champions only thing is that they lack consistency and not as a unit the team plays. Else it can easily beat some of the best teams.

Seems less people follow this sport.

So today we have 2 matches . First is about to begin between UP vs Bengal and second one is between Telgu vs Delhi. I think 2nd match would be more interesting one as both team as have some good players in it .

Nothing is gonna make you a better player in gambling. To be a big player it is must to learn on their own and keep on experimenting. Maybe you'll fail continuously but you'll learn some tactics out of the same. When it comes to poker however you practice online/offline without luck nothing gets turned to be a myth.

Their exists few game where experience and strategy works in order to defeat the other person and come out as a winner. Poker is one of such games where you learn over the period of the game you play and the skills you develop help you win.

There's a T20 series coming up between India and WI and I just checked the players list and noticed Gayle is not in the team. He said he would retire from ODIs after the WC but did he retire from T20 also?
We have a separate topic for T20 discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5102095.0 :-)

Back to the Gayle thing, I do not know any update available about his retirement but it's very much predictable that he will retire from ODIs if he can not perform well but for T20s - he is still non-replaceable I think and Gayle should carry on to it.

Last what I have heard was that Gayle will retire after this series and might even retire from all forms of cricket. Also he is now 39 and he is not able to perform the way he used to bat couple of years before. So better to exit then not to be picked by the team.

Yesterday was a fantastic match between Umumba and Jaipur team. Jaipur played really well and due to which they were able to beat UMumba team easily. Though Umumba for me had a good chance towards the last 5 minutes when Jaipur just had 3 players and would have got them all out and could have inch close to Jaipur points but just it did not happen.

England are the winners for the 2019 WC and that's what will be written in the record books. You come here after 20 years and everyone will be saying that 2019 WC was won by England and it will be a history. No one will remember what happened and how England got lucky. That's a fact.
Hilarious. Majority of the Cricketing community will remember this match and its bullshit result for ages since it is probably the greatest Cricket match ever played in the world of Cricket surprisingly between England and New Zealand.

Another update to this unfair result.

https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/sports-news/ian-chappell-says-if-super-over-doesnt-provide-outright-winner-position-of-teams-on-table-should-be-considered-to-decide-result-7031401.html

The updates just keep pouring in. The captain of the winning team and the on field umpire themselves have issues with the result. Nothing left to say people!

Let's just have a re-match between England and New Zealand. Grin

This option does not exists anymore. Both the team actually played so well and that was the reason that match and super over got tied. Only thing is that world cup cannot be shared due to which they had to declare one winner. Else it was both team's cup if performance is considered on overall basis.

When a gambling addict becomes too lazy with other things outside of gambling, sooner or later he will forget his responsibilities as a family member and as a member of the society. And worse, he can interfere with the finances of other family members when he no longer has the money to gamble. Gambling can be very dangerous if we cannot control it. So becareful!

A lot of people misunderstand the problems of addiction. It is not about being lazy, it is not about being problematic et cetera. Studies show that people who suffer from addiction have something deficient in the way their minds understand logical thought. So a gambler does not see the problem of losing continually,,, and casinos take advantage of this.

Tough everytime I see this type of thing, we can only offer support and like drinking, be a friend. Tell them to stop when you see it.
Supporting them and let them realize only work for the initial stage of addiction and also they are getting addicted to something mostly when they feel lonely so obviously no one is going to take care of them if they lose more money and endanger their health as well.

This is the sign of danger as definitely longer they play higher the chances of addiction and this will definitely have more of ill effects. This also means that most likely it can have a bad relationship too and it can even effect the mental state of the person.

The first of 10 T20 World Cup qualifiers start tomorrow with Singapore v Qatar, these matches may not mean much to most people on here however its good to see how these countries are coming along as most are new to playing cricket. Nepal looks to be the best team in this tournament and should qualify for the T20 World Cup. Not sure how the other countries go as I haven't seen them play much, Qatar I believe are an okay team.
Its good to see more and more countries like Qatar and Singapore improving in the world of Cricket, but they face a long battle ahead since the competition is tough in every way. Lets see how far they go.

For example, Afghanistan has been improving slowly and steadily, but still managed to lose every single match in the World Cup though there were a few close calls.

Somewhere this countries have to start and it is better ate than never. Also we have seen how Afghanistan a new entry in recent years have started playing so much good cricket and Bangladesh are capable of beating top teams itself shows that this new countries have a good scope in future.
1449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Crypto Players Skip Casinos with KYC on: July 21, 2019, 03:23:13 PM
Of all the reasons mentioned on the first page of course it is all very true. What I want to emphasize again is that every player including me personally wants to play gambling without many people knowing it or can be said to be anonymous. That's the reason I want to emphasize why I don't want to do Kyc.
It is the most important and will always be considered, after all not all countries legalize gambling and some gamblers are in countries that prohibit gambling. In this case they are looking for other alternatives to gamble by playing at online gambling which of course will skip KYC.

People do not want to land in trouble by giving KYC and also if the casinos is newly opened or does not have that much trust then it can be another issue because not sure how your KYC details could be mis-utilized and

Never heard of Kabaddi before but after seeing a game from the internet I am pretty speechless on how the game is executed, Well in my own opinion because It is my first time seeing this kind of game, But it is popular in South Asia and a state game of the Indian State, Well after reading and watching some of the actions included in the game I am pretty curious about how the game is originated, I think it is the same as a popular game in my Country called "Agawan Base" Or you can call it in English as Capture the Flag but without the flag.

I will research even further on this game and the teams included in every match.

It may be because in your country this game would not be played and due to which you might be ignore about the game. In many countries this game is played and this is being created like on the format of IPL I would be say and this is the season 7.
1451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New casino vs old and trusted one on: July 21, 2019, 05:58:41 AM
More new casino will arrive everyear and many player will be stay to the old but trusted casino and ony few player explore and try to play to other new casinos because other is high possible to turn as scam. But they still have more new casino who are legit and competitive to become popular like the old casino and they started a signature campaign to become popular their gamblung site.

don't forget that new casinos offer good bonuses and you can receive a good profit while old ones don't offer attractive bonuses.

It is possible that you may get some lucrative offers but also trust is the biggest things in such sites. You should not end up getting lose your money as you might get scammed by some new sites which shows you some attractive offers. So it is quite risky to use new as compared to old.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the *easiest* profitable betting strategy? on: July 21, 2019, 05:55:10 AM
Maybe a option to consider is the bankroll of the house. If the casino profits you will also benefit.
That's mean you are investing on that site too. If the gambler lose, your investment will grow as the site's profit as well. It's take very long time to make your investment become bigger, and there will be some whales who could make your investment's value decreased

Quite possible what you said but if considered this as a long term option your chances of making money is slightly better than playing those bets as luck untill favors you else you may just lose all your money and while in bank roll you would get some profits or may be lose some money but not all atleast.

I am not sure if Ms Dhoni can play ODI because he has announced his retirement for One day International cricket. For t20, i think young players should be given the chance. The WI team is not so strong and i do not thing there is any need for Ms Dhoni in this series. This will be a good time where india can play with a new wicket keeper.

Dhoni didn't make any announcement related to retirement yet. He did withdrawal his name from upcoming Windies series, so we are not going to see Dhoni for a couple of month in Blue jersey. There are some chances of his announcement when South Africa- Bangladesh visiting India later this year.


This is quite possible that he would like to retire in India by playing for India in India itself . This will give him a good platform to retire in front of his own country people and bid adieu to the cricket. That may be the reason he might have just not announced the retirement yet.

You explained this much better then i could. I have been trying to explain this to my friend and i got the answer: "You just need more money".


Majorly this is the reason and due to which it actually does not work for most of the people as every one has a limited money or can take only limited risk to put some money in the gambling. And in that phase you do not make money you end up losing money .

By the way, I am just curious to discuss about Ben Stokes innings in the final match. He had a dashing world cup. Not many player can play an inning like that. His inning had a good combination of luck and skills. Fortune favored the brave.
Do you know Stokes innings is ever highest for England in a world cup final? The previous highest was 63, can't remember the exact name of that player. He played an excellent innings by the way.

It was Ben strokes who ensured that England reached the super over or stand a chance to win the World cup because his innings came at a very crucial time and that too under lot of pressure of the world cup final. He deserves a lot of credit for his batting

The whole Libra hype is very annoying and I still don't know why do people think that Libra helps for the bitcoin price to go up.What will happen if Facebook never launches Libra?The bitcoin price will go back to 4K?
The crypto market is so fragile and vulnerable to rumors and lies,it's frustrating. Angry

It is the Facebook strategy to create hype around their coin so that people start to buy their coin and will lead to higher demand among the investors as every where now people are talking about the libra coin. This is taking some effect in the btc as well as the drop happened from 13k to 10k levels in the btc prices.
1457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: July 19, 2019, 05:32:58 AM
Maybe because WI ain't really a competition for India so there might not be much interest in this series.
Don't forget that it's t20 and anything can happen. Moreover, West Indies used to play better in t20 as well as against India. Their team is not perfect but will not be easy for a team like India.
Yes, West Indies play good cricket when it comes to T20, but they'll never have consistency which is the issue. They play one match extremely good and the following match very worse. In the world cup matches too same happened,. Now in the T20 they might give their best to defeat India, but India on the other hand won't let it win easily.
India has good bowling attacks than WI including Bumra, Chahal, Bhuvi as well as Kuldeep. India of course has high chance of winning the match, but in t20, 2 or 3 overs can change the direction of a game.

T20 I would give it to WI because they are very strong when it comes to limited overs match and have a strong batting line up who can clear the boundaries at their own will . India on other hand is good in the test match and  50 overs match.
1458  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-07-12] Japanese Exchange Hacked for $32 Million in Cryptocurrency on: July 18, 2019, 07:17:06 AM


I am always feeling sad whenever another cryptocurrency exchange has become victim of hacking. It is quite unfortunate that the same story can go on and on because for now there is no guaranteed technology that can block talented and intelligent hackers who can e based in rogue countries we know of. Hacking has become a big business and with exchanges holding millions of coins and tokens these hackers will do everything possible because the prize is enormous. I am just hoping that something can really be done to once and for all stop this problem in the industry.

This is really a dangerous thing to happen as thousands of investors lose their money in such process and also it demoralises new entrants to trade as they always fear of losing money in such instances . Even government gets panicked and does not easily make it legal in their country considering this fact as well .
1459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: July 18, 2019, 04:58:39 AM
The Ashes start in 2 weeks from now, it will be interesting to see who the Australian selectors will pick to play the first test. I'm sure that Warner and Smith will slot straight back in even though I thought Smith had a poor World Cup but he's test match form has always been a lot better then ODI. Warner had a great World Cup campaign which should have him ready for the test series. Its going to be an interesting series as both teams haven't done all that well in test matches in recent times.

Both will be in and definitely OZ will come back very strongly as they  have lost to England poorly in the world cup which resulted in the out from world cup. On other hand England will be on top after winning the maiden world cup and would continue their great cricket.

The only hard work that should be doing when it comes to gambling,  is how you gamble, gambling is a game of luck and since this is a game of luck that can not be mastered to make a living, you should learn how to control you remotion and stop when you need to stop.

Mainly it is the luck that counts and rest are not really even required. Only in some games like poker or cards game where experience plays a vital role in order to win the games. And games like slot machine, roulette etc are more of the luck based games.
