1661  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: November 09, 2023, 04:56:31 PM
I'm not very much lucky in terms of winning during those days that I'd like to bet using small amounts and just for mere fun. I guess the odds aren't just siding with me because I lack the skills too. But when it comes to lottery, I can't say for sure because I haven't tried it yet myself.
I value luck more than skill in gambling but not always. I won 6 bets consecutively in gambling especially in sports betting last few days ago. I was surprised myself because I had never had such a victory before. I have done a lot of betting before but to suddenly get so many wins together which is surprising to me. I think if luck favors you then you can profit from gambling very quickly. But this fate will not always work in the same way. We have to bet as much as possible observing and risking to lose.
Gambling depends on luck, maybe your luck is working well so you win 6 bets regularly but I myself have never been able to win consistently at gambling.  It is possible to profit a few times in gambling but it is very difficult to keep the profits there if you gamble more.  I vow not to gamble anymore after I lose gambling but sometimes I panic to play. But my luck doesn't work very well.  I think most gamblers are lucky like that

Getting consistent profit and winning bets in a streak is usually not possible but if someone is lucky then anything is possible. Just like sometimes we have a long losing streak whereby we find it hard to win any bet, similarly one can have a prolonged winning streak where one may keep on winning one bet after the other.

Both situations are because of good luck and bad luck and there is nothing a person or the gambler has control over this situation. My personal experience, I keep playing a bit more if I am winning more and I stop gambling for a few days in case I feel that bad luck is hitting me more often than good luck.

In New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka match,  there will be some tough situation for the Pakistan Team,  if the New Zealand Team wins then slightly low chances will be for the Pakistan. But there are two more possibilities that will be good for the side of Pakistan, first if the Sri Lanka Team wins and Pakistan win their match England then They will qualify for the Next Round. And Second if The rains hits then it will also be a probability for the Pakistan. So let's see who will be in the Top 4 teams and who will qualify for the Semi's.

The New Zealand team will have to put in a lot of effort to win today if they want to go into the qualifiers. Because New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan have equal points for the three teams going into the qualifiers, New Zealand is ranked higher. So we must secure the qualifier match by winning against the Sri Lankan team today. If the New Zealand team loses then the chances of relegation are definitely high as their place in the points table will drop to the bottom. Today is New Zealand team's last match so Sri Lanka team will try hard to win the match and it would be better if they decide to bat early. However, if Sri Lanka can keep the team under pressure from the bowling side in the target game, then surely New Zealand's victory can be assured today.


New Zealand are far better on the run rate when compared to the other two teams with the points, that is Afghanistan and Pakistan. A win in todays match will make this run rate further better and if they win with a big margin then NRR will increase even more.

So, in the event of the NZ win, it is not possible for both the Pakistan and Afghanistan teams to have a very big margin wins in their respective matches. Afghanistan will be playing against the South African team who except for the last match, had a pretty good tournament. Similarly, Pakistan will take on England who have been in bad form but in the last match they (England) seem to gaining momentum, so it won't be easy for these two teams (PAK and AFG) to progress further in the tournament.

A very important contest today. Do or die match for New Zealand. With rain prediction in today’s match, New Zealand will try to conclude the proceedings as soon as possible. They have to be proactive in their strategy so that they won’t repeat the previous mistake today. Hoping for a complete 100 over game.
New Zealand is the favourite to win the match, but anything can be expected from Sri Lanka. Fingers crossed for a thriller.

Well, there is no rain at the moment and good for the New Zealand team that they have started well first by winning the toss and then they took an early wicket of Pathum Nissanka at only 2 runs on the bowling of Southee.

The majority of us bet on New Zealand and rightly so, as Sri Lanka hasn't been looking threatening in any of their matches and I don't see if they will have any impact on today's match.

We have now entered in a situation where every team is playing their last matches of this world cup. Only the four teams will play two additional matches, the Semi-Finals and the final.

In New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka match,  there will be some tough situation for the Pakistan Team,  if the New Zealand Team wins then slightly low chances will be for the Pakistan. But there are two more possibilities that will be good for the side of Pakistan,  first if the Sri Lanka Team wins and Pakistan win their match England then They will qualify for the Next Round. And Second if The rains hits then it will also be a probability for the Pakistan. So let's see who will be in the Top 4 teams and who will qualify for the Semi's.

Among the three teams Afghanistan and Pakistan and New Zealand, New Zealand is leading in net run rate. Although Afghanistan won't win against South Africa but if Afghanistan win it won't win by much margin. In this respect, it can be said that Afghanistan is behind to reach the semi-finals among the 3 teams. If New Zealand wins today then NRR will be more +. Sri Lanka are not in good form, New Zealand scored 401 runs in the last match, New Zealand is back in form. On the other hand, if Pakistan wants to reach the semi-finals, it will have to win against England by a large margin. England has performed well in the last match, it doesn't seem like Pakistan can win by a big margin. The upcoming Pakistan vs England match will be an important match for both the teams. Today's match is going to be a do or die match for both teams. If New Zealand lose today, their hopes of making the semi-finals are over, and if Sri Lanka lose, they will not be able to play in the Champions Trophy. But in today's match I think New Zealand will win. I think New Zealand will make it to the semi-finals.

The good thing about today's match will be that both the teams have the personal interest in winning the match and it is not like one team is out of the World Cup and hence the win or loss does not matter. Yes, Sri Lanka is out of the World Cup already but they will be playing for a win so that they may not be the team not qualifying for the champions trophy. New Zealand on the other hand will want to win this match and thus increase their chances of moving ahead in this tournament.

If we look at the odds of this match at stake.com, for Srilanka you will get 3.25 odds while for the New Zealand the odds are only 1.25 before the start of the match. We can clearly see that New Zealand is the favorite team and for Sri Lanka to win this one, they would be needing an upset.

Hey guys, just noticed this awesome thread, I don't really watch cricket but everyone around me used to. Yesterday was incredible, too bad I was asleep to enjoy the end. For a guy to singlehandedly win his team when odds on them at break was 3%?

I do not mean to hijack but wish I saw it earlier and... wondering if any of you ever heard of Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL)?

You all seem super interested in contests like this, so I thought BSFL might interest you.

Where does this contest take place and does it include cricket or it is in general sports contest ? I think people here would only be interested if it is on this forum and most probably free to join.

Coming to today's match, New Zealand should win this match provided it is not rain interrupted.

New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka

Toss win: New Zealand
Team win: New Zealand
Best Batsmen: Kane Williamson
Best bowler: Ferguson

2) Do not take loan to gamble: Some young guys are so irresponsible that they take loans to gamble. It is a very bad move and can even produce life threatening conditions in future when loan recover agents knock your door.
not just loans, any money that you cannot afford to lose should not be gambled. a lot of people tend to fail on this and a lot of them tend to think that they can double or triple the money but end up just losing it all and putting themselves in financial trouble and probably incurring debt just to replace the money they gambled that they cannot afford to lose.

The is out of greed that people think that they will take the loan, gamble with it, make the money at least 2x, return the loan and keep the winning profits with them. Sounds interesting and easy, isn't? But in reality, this does not work in this way as most of the time, everything works well as per plan except for the winning in gambling.

You will get the loan, and you will gamble, but when it comes to winning in the gambling, you lose instead and all your dreams and plans vanish in a blink of a second and now you worry about how you will return the loan which you have lost in the gamble. No one tells us this side of the story.

Be realistic with your gambling goals and do not overthink that you will become a millionaire or earn a lot of money. Just be moderate with realistic expectations and you are good to go.

Inexperienced teams are finding it hard to win against experienced sides. Yesterday Afghanistan had Australia down to 91/7, but then Maxwell and Cummins took them to 293/7. And today Netherlands had England at 192/6. But then Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes took them to 339/9. It is a torture to watch the Dutch batting. Last time they had 5 of their batsmen runout in a single innings. And today also they started the same trend with a needless runout of Wesley Barresi. If they waste these chances, then they don't have any right to ask for more matches against full member nations. 

Anyways, England won this match by 160 runs. I think England should not be proud of this win as winning against Netherlands is not a big deal and they should know that they were struggling at one time at 192 with six wickets down. Also this world cup didn't went well for them, they still have one more match left in this world cup against Pakistan which will be played in few days time.

Coming to the Netherlands team, their top order failed to score runs. Only Wesley Barresi  made 37 runs. Middle order try to consolidate but failed. Their captain Scott Edwards made 38 runs while Teja Nidamanuru remained not out on 41 runs but did not get support from other Netherlands players.

I not sure Al can give good predictions in sports betting and relying too much on Al is also not recommended because it can't give us more experience in predicting matches.
Maybe Al can help make it easier to have more information, but in making predictions you don't only need information.

I'm sure AI won't be able to help us win in sports betting. It's a prediction game, and statistics alone as a basis are not enough to win. There are plenty of factors to consider, and even the analysis of an AI may be wrong if it only gets information that is not updated. So, let's stop hoping it will help us win one day. All it can do is provide statistics; the crucial part, which is to analyze that information, should be done by sports handicappers, that's us.

In order to place a bet on any sport or on any team, good gamblers will first analyze the teams and game history including previous performances of the team. This is a time consuming job and most of the gamblers would not do so.

What AI can do here is to help this process of getting the stats of the performances of the teams in a quick time and save a lot of effort. Though AI cannot predict the future results of the matches perfectly but it can help get the stats of the teams/players and it can be a big help for those who are professional gamblers.

So today two bottom teams will play 40th match of ICC World. Means England and Netherlands will face each others. Both of teams disqualified from semifinal so they will only play like a regular match. If we look on the stats of both teams so we will see that Netherlands won two of their matches and England only won one match. According to the stats England is looking weak but I think England will win today match. By the way let's see.
Today  it is the 40 match of ICC world cup. It is between England and Netherlands. it is very important match for both team. England win the toss and england elected batting. England makes 73 run in 11 over and Netherlands get only one wicket against england in 11 over.England batsmen seem to be playing with a lot of struggle and effort. England batsman makes 78 run in 12 over.If England batsmen play with each other, they can win the match.England makes 83 run in 13 over.And gave only one out in all these 13 overs.As far as it seems that today match will come to England.

Yes, this match is important for both teams in the sense that England would want to win their last two matches and they will surely do not want to lose to the weakest yet emerging team Netherlands. They need to play for their pride although they have disappointed in this world cup. We never wanted to see the former World Cup Champions right at the bottom of the World Cup table.

For Netherlands, they have all to play for. If they lose, no one would blame them but if they win, it's like winning a World Cup for them. In fact it would be a good experience and achievement for them in the matches they won in this world cup.

England are well placing in this match as they have managed to get 137 runs with only two wickets down. Dawid Malan is looking good at 87 runs and hopefully he will be eyeing at his century.

But I don't know, maybe the tax calculation for gamblers is different from one country to another.

By the way, we are talking about the honest persons who will declare all the winnings income from the gambling site and willing to pay the taxes.
However majority of the gamblers will hide the gambling income as the the government cannot check the money stored on the gambling sites. Some gambler may keep the money at the year end on the gambling site and once the tax paying period is over they may cash our and bring the gambling income to their accounts.

In case of crypto, they may not convert to fiat and keep them in their bitcoin/altcoins wallets or in the form of USDT where again the government has no access to verify anything.
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 08, 2023, 07:12:14 AM
Catches win matches! Afghanistan played so freaking well throughout the match until they dropped Maxwell when he was in 20s which was an easy one and 30s which was extremely easy by Mujeeb.

They could have ended Australia within 120-130, but played like amateurs towards the end. Maxwell delivered a legendary performance and helped his team qualify for the semi-finals.

The dropped catch by Mujeeb was a very easy chance. And it probably cost Afghanistan the match. Even now Afghanistan has a remote chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, but it is much more difficult given their poor net run rate when compared to New Zealand and Pakistan. Also, their next match is going to be against one of the strongest teams (South Africa). On the other hand, both New Zealand and Pakistan have relatively weaker opponents (Sri Lanka and England respectively). So it is mainly going to be between NZ and Pakistan, on who will qualify as the 4th team.

Right now i think New Zealand are the favourite to quailify for the semi finals. They are on a better run rate as compared to Pakistan and a big win against Srilanka will make them more comfortable to qualify.
 
As far as the Pakistan team is concerned, they need to beat England by a big margin and that may not be easily possible. The only chance i feel for the Pakistan team is the upset should happen in the New Zealand vs Srilanka match, where Srilanka beat New Zealand and then Pakistan only need to beat England and there will be no calculation of the run rate.

Anyways, in the next few days we will see who will qualify for the 4th position and play with the mighty India  Cheesy
1672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: November 08, 2023, 04:51:04 AM
It will only make gamblers hide their gambling activities from the government so they don't have to pay taxes. For example, the tax will be imposed on gamblers who win as is done on lottery winners. Maybe that is a normal thing but not for gamblers who lose in gambling. They have already lost their money and won't want to be asked to pay taxes. Maybe they will continue to use crypto casinos that can hide the transactions they make to their gambling accounts.

But the government could impose taxes on everyone, including gamblers, because the government wants to get additional income from what is in their country. But it would not be wise to apply it to everyone, even losing gamblers. The government should think about what needs to be taxed so that it won't cause problems later.

I just do not understand how you think that the gambling who are losing will have to pay tax or not ?
Usually the people are taxed after every year on the income / money which they have at the end of the year. Now if a gambler have a lot of money, and he wins even more in gambling but if he loses all of this money before the year end, at the time of calculation of the tax, he would have no assets / money and therefore he will not fall under the tax net.

Even if you say that tax is on the income earned every month and calculated at the year end, this only applies to the balance that is left on the gambling site. If anyone earn a 1000$ in a month in gambling, but did not withdraw and keep on playing until he loses that 1000$, then he is not obliged to pay the taxes on this amount to the government.

Australia after losing the first two matches in this world cup returned back strongly and won the remaining of their matches. On the other hand, the Afghanistan defeat hurt them badly and their chances of moving ahead in this tournaments becomes even more dull.
What an excellent match. I really appreciate Glenn Maxwell who just pull his team to the victory line and cross the line and won the match. What a massive score he made 201 runs. I was thinking that Australia just lost the match because they lost 7 wickets under 100 runs. All the credit goes to Glenn Maxwell. I really enjoyed this match. Congratulations to Australia. Smiley

Glenn Maxwell was injured and he could not run properly so he opted to hit boundaries. This thing went in favor of Australia and they won. Had he been fit, he would have played a bit for carefully and perhaps, Australia would not be able to win. But in this situation, Glenn Maxwell knew that the only option for him was to hit the boundaries.

When anyone is so clear in his mind, then he will hit the ball hard and luck favours the brave. Another thing was the bad fielding by the Afghanistan team, missed chances due to which they were not able to win this match, which they should have won. After this win, Australia will be going to the semi finals with huge confidence and this may be advantageous for them as compared to their most likely opponent South Africa who had a bad defeat against India recently.

Afghanistan face Australia today looking for a fourth straight win in the series. Although Australia is ahead in statistics, Afghanistan is in a good position in terms of performance in this World Cup. If Australia wins today's match, their semi-final will be confirmed.

Australia did win and confirmed their place in the semi final spot. They may probably be playing with South Africa in the semi finals because they will end up at number 3 and the number two spot is already taken by South Africa. Good in the sense that they will be avoiding unbeaten India in the semi finals.

Today's Match Prediction:

England Vs Netherlands

Toss win: Netherlands
Team win: England
Best Batsman: Livingstone
Best Bowler: Adil Rashid

I wouldn’t want my own casino. The liability of holding so many other people’s money would be absolutely insane. Not to mention all the problems that would come along with it like hacking attempts and angry customers complaining about bugs or making claims about their gaming outcomes. It would be neverending stress.

I also like gambling, but I don't want to own my own casino. If I have a lot of money, I would rather open another business, because I'm not sure about the risks that will come if I open my own casino. So just to play is enough for me.

As you said, not to mention the problems that might come, maybe I myself will not be able to face all the problems, even though I have a lot of money but if problems keep coming, it will make me uneasy. So it's better for me to live with enough money.
Even on other form of investment would really be still imposing such risks on which there'a no way that we could really be able to avoid such thing on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be really that facing those probabilities on which it would really be that a common approach but well each of us does have that own preference when it comes to things. We arent that blind that gambling business
is really that indeed profitable and there's no way that it wouldnt really be  that making out some good profits specially if your business is already that gaining some traction or recognition on which its something that wont really be that so easy when running not only gambling business but also in other business as well. Demand and recognition would be the toughest thing to gain on.

Not everyone can own a casinos as owning a casino needs not only the capital, the money but also the knowledge on how to operate and run the casino.

Let suppose you have the money , you have the developers with you built or buy a running casino but then still it would not work because the competition here is too much and without effective marketing it is not possible that new casino become the choice of the gamblers.
Again I will emphasize that owning a casino is more profitable than playing at a casino but this is not easy and not everyone has the talent to do it.
1676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: November 07, 2023, 05:46:02 PM

KYC verification is often licensed but casinos can control everything they want because of this he got involved in various criminal activities. That's why by reviewing online casino and gambling sites we always make sure that we cover all the important information and essentials. When deciding which online casino to choose we recommend that you thoroughly check the latest information on a casino's security system payouts player feedback about that casino and more. Players sticking to big name mainstream casinos can avoid having to investigate them for a license since no reputable casino operates without one. It's the players who like to hedge bets and discover exciting new places to play that require a bit more caution.
You may be right in the aspect of kyc being part if the casino licensed but then also you have to know that,  KYC guideline always comes along with the licensed so if the government grant a license to a casino, they will simply also hand over the guideline for the kyc.

Guideline like what document to use and how the procedures will go,  that is why,  most of the casinos always demand for government issued ID for the verifications, so if you see any casino that claim to be KYC compliance but have its own specific roles that they are using to scam their customer then such casino may be far from being truly licensed from government.

Well first coming to your question how will we know that a casino is asking for the KYC to scam us in some way or it is because they need to avoid by the government regulations ? There is no way to know this because in both cases they will ask for the normal ID documents. The real ones will keep them secure and only issue to the government if required for any money laundering or any suspect cases while the scam ones may misuse the KYC or even may sold to them to the third parties  but for the end users & the gamblers there is no way to distinguish between the two.

In order to get things easy the best way to go is to play on that trusted casino which are advertising here on this forum and most of them are KYC enabled.

In today's Afghanistan vs Australia match, Afghanistan scored 291 runs in the first innings with the loss of 5 wickets. Not only did Afghanistan's batsman Ibrahim Zadran not collect a lot of good hits, but later took the game. Ibrahim Zadran's batting performance was outstanding as he single-handedly scored 129 runs for the team off 143 balls, and ended the game unbeaten. If another batsman could have caught the game the way he batted and scored a century, it might have been 300 plus runs. However, today's match is for Afghanistan whose chances are low but if they can put Australia under pressure in the second innings then it is definitely possible. I think Afghanistan will not be able to beat a strong team like Australia so easily.
Yeh Afghanistan played really well unexpectedly because I believe that they will be really collapse just like they have history against a strong team but they really shocked viewers because the momentum they carry on in previous matches still ongoing and which help them to gain confidence and play fear less cricket no problem how quality bowler bowl and how good he bowl. I really enjoyed the young talent Ibrahim zadran batting he is just a pure class in really young age. Anyway they are 60 to 80 runs shorter because pitch are not spin friendly and that the worrying moments for them while target defending because it's thier main strength to push opponent team off track

At one time, it looked Afghanistan will win this match easily as Australia were 91 for 7 wickets down and it seems that Afghanistan bowlers will take them down easily but not to be. Glenn Maxwell played an unbeatable innings of 201 runs in only 128 balls and due to this brilliant and responsible knock, the Australian team were able to win this match.

Although Afghanistan bowlers took 7 quick wickets but then Glenn Maxwell stood between the Afghanistan win and he made sure that his team Australia win this one and it was a great innings of responsibility.

Australia after losing the first two matches in this world cup returned back strongly and won the remaining of their matches. On the other hand, the Afghanistan defeat hurt them badly and their chances of moving ahead in this tournaments becomes even more dull.
1678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: November 07, 2023, 03:51:30 PM
So it's really better not to gamble in front of our children or other children. Because gambling does not bring good things to children who are young in mind and age. And it doesn't look normal, to be honest.

Then sometimes, even if we don't show the child that we are gambling, they will still have curiosity to learn about gambling, and of course what is imprinted in their minds is that gambling looks good; such concepts are seen in the scenario.

Although I don’t think the idea of gambling in front of your kid is responsible, the idea of it not looking normal is arguable. People have and still do gamble in front of their kids that it doesn’t seem weird anymore. .
And I don’t think young children would get that interested in gambling when they’ve got of kiddies things that would occupy their time and mine.

Some kids being exposed to gambling either from the parents or wherever, would most likely develop an attraction and a liking to it as they’ve seen daddy gamble all the time.
It doesn’t look responsible to me gambling in front of your little ones.

No matter if you do gambling in front of your kids or not, they will eventually get to know that you are a gambler even if you gamble hiddenly from them. Its very hard for parents to gamble, and children living in the same house does not know the gambling habit of their parents or even elder brothers (or sisters).

Yeah, if you want your children not to adopt gambling habits from parents, the parents would need to quit gambling. But then, would those kids will never gamble ? No, they will.
There are kids who will be engaged in gambling but their parents were not gamblers, why ? Because when the kids move in the society they will know about gambling and may try it at their friends or relative place.

This is getting really ugly. Mathews went to Twitter to post a video, which shows him arriving at the crease within 110 seconds after the dismissal. But then, he complains about the helmet and ask for a replacement. This is when Shakib made the appeal and got him out. I am a bit confused on whether technically he is out or not. But from a sportsman perspective, I would rather side with Mathews. Shakib should have warned him first rather than appealing against him. What is the point in winning matches like this?

Oh Really, So I think players should not go for the third umpire reviews and rather ask the opposition players that please be warned, next time we will take the DRS but this time out of sportsman spirit, you may continue playing.

Both teams are playing for a win and they won't leave any legitimate opportunity that may take them to the winning position.

And finally, if you think that Sri Lankan players have more sportsmen spirit, then Mathews wouldn't have taken this battle to social media? Isn't it against the sportsman spirit?
1680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: November 07, 2023, 11:08:12 AM
According to my experience gambling has only harmful effect may be some people will have taken benefit from it but as I have saw gambler they all have made their family distress and they are also mentally disturbed. What do you think that if gambler loss all his money then what will be the final option with him? I think final option is crime therefore either he start stealing money or threaten his family members to pay his loan.

This is one extreme aspect of gambling where a gambler will lose all his money. In most circumstances, the gamblers won't lose everything. They will lose some games and win some games and it will be a mixture of wins and losses. Those who are in the last stages of addiction may take such extreme steps of going all in and losing everything.

Family of gamblers are fear about their future because gambling is not consider as a loyal field but everyone consider gambler as a bad person who never think about his family and are in Struggle to earn lots of money in a single bet but unfortunately they loss again and again and finally make threats for family which then feel insecure everywhere. There is no mistake of gamblers family but a single person spoil the career and future of whole family.

Again, a person who is addicted can be a burden on his family where he would be using the kitchen money into gambling, making life tough for the family but usually a person who plays with a plan, who has allocated certain money separate from gambling, his family won't be facing any such conditions.

Also, we forget that Gambling is not all about losing, you can win too. There are people who have won big amounts and managed to change their lifestyle of themselves and their families.
