The opening ceremony of a big tournament like the World Cup certainly makes the tournament more interesting. We hope that the 2023 World Cup will be inaugurated with a grand opening ceremony.
Can you tell when will be the opening ceremony for the World Cup? I heard on some social media posts that there will be no Opening ceremony for this World Cup. If that is true what is the reason for this? After all, I think that after so many years, the World Cup is being held in India, so they should organize a memorable opening ceremony. Let us know if anyone has the confirmed news about this year's World Cup opening ceremony. |

Selling out on next bull run? For me, its definitely yes. Accumulation had been done on past 2 years which prices are really on the floor. It is really just that right
on securing profits when bull run hits.
This is an investment market and prices will be very volatile so I will also sell all my assets during the upcoming bull season. After that, the market will definitely decline after a period of crazy price increases and that is also the right time for us to continue to accumulate again. Actually, we can make profit with just such simple things, but the important thing is that many people cannot have the patience to do it in a disciplined way. They are so impatient to make profits that they will pay dearly for their haste. To be very honest every one is waiting for bull run so that we can sell our investments. Usually people's mindset is that they will make money in bull run by first buying high and then sell even higher. If everyone knows this phenomenon that they will buy in bear market and sell in bull market, then to whom we will sell if no one is ready to buy in bull market? Maybe we are waiting for the newcomers, the new money to enter in the market in the bull season. The narrative need to be built , the hype needs to be created so that new people's buy in at the top and they would be the ones who would end up stucking at top for the next bear seasons. |

I can say from personal experience that I have won bigger jackpots with max bets on land based casinos. You also tend to hit the Free spins a lot more, if you opt to use the max bet option. The thing, when you bet higher amounts.. you tend to lose your balance a lot quicker, so I will not recommend that for people who wants to play for hours. I gamble for entertainment, so I want my money to last longer.... and that is why I am betting smaller amounts. I tend to increase the bet slightly after a big win, but that is more superstition than anything else. Just bet small and accept your wins.... whatever falls from the sky is a bonus.  Gamblers bet more money because they want the return to be even bigger. They forget that the risk associated with the bet is also high so in case of a loss they can lose all their money which they put in that single large bet. The only way to refrain ourself from making this greedy decision of playing with big bets, we can only do is to force ourself to follow the money management plan. Money management plans should be established before we start to gamble and if you follow that strictly then no way we can lose money quickly in gambling. |

An addiction should have a negative impact in your life, if these professional gamblers are living their bsst lives gambling and their habits not really being a problem for them that it interferes with their life outside gambling, I think that we can just that they're not addicts but in a metaphorical perspective, they're an addict because they can't let go of their habit that is gambling which is a vice. So to answer the question, it depends on who you're asking. Also we have to remember that most professional gamblers play Blackjack or Poker and not those slots where the edge is heavily house favored.
Yeah, at the end of the day those professional gamblers might earn more money from the sponsors than what they earn gambling. You might be able to be the lucky one that ends up with all the wins against your peers and therefore end up winning all the lucrative contracts with expensive brands. But the casino always takes a cut from every bet, and they house always wins They successfully combat their addiction and turn gambling as successful career since they market theirselves very well to the huge number of people that's why they are gaining supports and sponsorship that makes their gambling career alive. That's why many choose to stream their gaming sessions since they want to gather millions of followers and gain attention from sponsors that can support them. Some may failed on this maybe they can't handle their losses and have proper financing but other excel especially those big gambling streamers since they are good on entertaining people and earning a lot of money from multiple ways. Lets forget about the cut but if we want to be successful on gambling maybe we should work to widen up our network since this is how we can slowly gain some fame and be known on this industry. People making gambling a job is a thing. Like a phoenix, they overcome addiction and succeed at gambling. Market themselves, draw a crowd, and sponsorships and support come. A journey, right? Streaming games, gaining millions of fans, and attracting huge sponsors. It's a dream, and some achieve it. There is a pitfall. The losses and financial turbulence are difficult to handle, and not everyone can. Big gambling streamers? They have charisma, flair, and the ability to hook. Money enters in several ways. You're right about network expansion. Is that the key? To be famous and successful in gambling. How you play your cards matters in the game and beyond. I don't see the people who are the gambling streamers or who earn money for promoting gambling as to be classified them as pure gamblers ?😕 Getting a lot of sponsors engaging people to get to a certain gambling site and promoting it through streams , these are not actual gambling and therefore people who made money from this approach are not to be called as gambling addict. The gambling addiction is only when you gamble a lot and then you win or lose in actual gambling. And here we already know that if you play excessive gambling the more chances is that you will lose more than winning. |

My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age? I don't see gambling as a source of revenue so I play games just because of fun. I have never had any health challenges because I lost large sums, this is because gambling has never been a financial source and my bets have never affected my finances negatively. Old age will not stop me from gambling because it is just fun for me. In old age, I will even have more time to properly analyze games and enjoy myself. I will have more time to watch more sports games and learn new sports. Retirement will bring boredom, and gambling can be part of my entertainment schedule. I agree that in the old age you will have a lot of time watching the matches and betting on them or playing the casino games with more dedication as we have a lot more free time but there is one big concern and that is money. Usually when we get old, we get retired from whatever we were doing and this is more of a concern for the person who were doing jobs and getting monthly salaries. Now in the old age we do not have a reliable source of income and this could be a big hurdle for us to engage in gambling activities. Now my question to all those who are favoring the gambling in the old age where will you generate the funds for the gambling ? |

Sri Lankan team, losing all wickets in 46.2 overs, set Afghanistan a target of 295 runs. With the Afghanistan team aiming to meet the target, the match was interrupted by rain shortly after the start of batting and the match was halted for a while. It took some time to restart the game as the pitch got wet due to rain. Now making the field playable, as per the DLS system, the game has been reduced to 42 overs and the Afghanistan team has been set a target of 257 runs. Afghanistan has a good chance to win this match. Afghanistan batting is very good from the beginning. Afghanistan team has so far scored 152 runs in 26 overs for the loss of one wicket. If the players of the Afghanistan team strengthen their batting a little more. Afghanis will win this match against Sri Lanka very easily
Afghanistan won this match, giving an upset on the warm up world cup cricket match. Srilankan captain Kusal Mendis would not be happy seeing this result. He himself scored 158 runs and would have wanted his team to play more competitive cricket. The major contributor to the Afghanistan win was the bowling from Mohammad Nabi who took 4 wickets, The SriLankan team have to do their homework, their batsmen need to be more responsible, You can make individual records but if the teams need to win, then more batsmen need to play a more longer innings, |

Go easy on him. He knows very well that he messed up which is why he's trying to help others not repeat the same mistake.
The good thing is that he learned from his mistakes and hopefully will not repeat these same mistakes again. Telling other about his story and asking to take care is really a nice gesture and should be apricated. I think anyone who is too concerned about his money, he should not gamble with them. Gambling is taking a risk with your money and it can go either way. You can make more money but at the same time you can lose money. If the earning from signature campaigns is crucial for your livings, then you should not gamble with it or gamble with a tiny amount so in case of a loss, no huge money is lost. |

Does that mean the government helps gambling? it's interesting and usually it's opposite. what I understand is that the government wants gamblers to get fair play while they are gambling. I think it's always contradictory because I'm sure many countries prohibit gambling although not all countries, but what you say is quite interesting if the government steps in to deal with unfair gaming.
Well, do you think that the government have so much time that they deal with unfair gambling and look after the gamblers? I don't think that government gives that much importance to the gamblers. The gamblers themselves need to become responsible else they will lose their own money and no one else will suffer. A more practical solution would be to develop a gambling organization that looks after the gambling affairs in the country and protect the gambler's interest and keep a check and balance of the casino. However, this can be done only for the casino operating from that country. |

Pakistan need 37 more runs from 31 balls to win against Australia but Pakistan have already lost seven wickets. I have not seen that much of the match but I will see that Pakistan will score 37 runs in 31 balls. They came very close to winning Pakistan. Pakistani batsmen have contributed well to bring the innings to a good position. Mohammad Nawaz and Hasan Ali are on the wickets at the moment, let's see if they can eventually lead Pakistan to victory.
Pakistan failed to chase this massive score as they lost wickets in regular intervals and Australia won this match by 14 runs. Still Pakistan scored 337 runs which was not bad at all. Also in the post-match ceremony, Shadab Khan (who is the captain for today's match) said they did not care about the result of this match, as the result was not important at all. They were more concerned with getting to know the performance of the players so that they could enter the WC with the best Playing XI. Also, the Australian team's thoughts were that a win is always good before going in the World Cup and they will take this win as a positive sign and hopefully continue the momentum. |

Bonus Point: 10 extra points in case of Netherland win against India. who is ready to take risk?
Even if you would give 100 pts, ie, first position if Netherlands wins, no one would lol May we need to tell the India team to lose, so that the people betting on the Netherlands can get some extra points.  However, the match was abandoned and hence no team was a winner. I guess if you can also give some extra points for another match two, as for the match between Aus Vs Pak, Pakistan is a weak team (they look to win this match though) and you can give bribe to people to bet on Pakistan and get 3 extra points etc, This will make the tournament predictions even more interesting. |

In a maths view perhaps with a lottery it could make sense to collect numbers. On the basis knowing which number combinations remain unused will increase the payout. Like anything if your reward goes up for the same money risked, this is a better rate of return a superior yield. Anytime you can do a bit of maths, deploy some statistics and probability to earn a few extra bucks its worth doing. Ideally a computer would manage all this, just going person to person is not feasible by itself but maths 'genius' have deployed such ideas in the past to a profit, unbelievable but true  Math can really be a great edge when it comes to playing and betting. It could be useful when you are analyzing the outcomes of a game and making a prediction. You can take advantage of your knowledge for your benefit. Although this will likely workout if you will do it for games that relies on calculation and data rather than being more on luck-based. Statistics and probability come hand-in-hand so math will really be your friend. Discipline will be your friend once you utilize your skills, talent, and knowledge so you won't fall into addiction. Luck does play a big part in gambling results, wins or losses. For some people, they feel more comfortable in casino games and they play certain games which they know are lucky for them. Some people may gamble on only certain sports as they believe that they usually win when they gamble on football or whatever sports that they feel luck favours them. These are all beliefs for the gamblers and there is no logic behind it. These beliefs just give them mental satisfaction and nothing else. |

I made a mistake of getting paid for signature campaign in gambling platform accounts.
When I got my payment, I thought I would slowly increase the amount by about 5-10% before I initiate a withdrawal. But I quickly lost control of my emotions and ended up blowing the entire balance of my account. This happened more than once, it happened about 5 times as I received money from different sources.
It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .
If you got paid mistakenly, what is the first step you took, did you reported that to the gambling team or the signature campaign manager you work for, also sometimes we made mistakes from our own self, will it be good for us to have same e of what we did to others, it may also be that such isn't a mistake as you've thought, they may only rewarded you for an eligible bonus you qualify for, but I doubt having this same occure repeatedly. Where did he say that he was paid mistakenly ? He said that he was paid in weekly pay in gambling platform. However my question was did he had a choice to either get this signature campaign income in his personal wallet or gambling site ? I don't think that we get this choices to decide. For example, i am in stake signature campaign, and i get paid directly at the stake platform and i am happy for that. I know what i have to gamble and what i have to withdraw. People should have control over their actions and not regret if they lose their signature campaign earnings in gambling. Also there are no wagering requirements to withdraw. |

Disappointment gonna be part of ODI World Cup 2023. Was watching the match between South Africa and New Zealand. The target of 321 is really hard to chase, but New Zealand is in better position. If the match have ended and knowing the result is different. The rain showered and when New Zealand have scored 211/4 in 37 overs. The wait continued for some time period. Further both the captains have shaked hands and concluded the match through the DLS method. Based on the DLS method, New Zealand was supposed to score 219 runs to win the match. Short of 7 runs have made it a win for New Zealand.
What a drama we have witnessed today in this match between South Africa and New Zealand. At no point, we thought that South Africa could win the match but then the rain came, the DLS method came into play and guess what, we have South Africa, the winner of this match. Though the result of this match won't matter, as it is a warm up match, but recently we see to many warn up match getting badly effected by rain. I am forecasting some big upsets in the upcoming world cup. |

It was a profit making strategy, and you had already made 0.022 BTC profit by running the method for 5 days. You had also wagered a decent amount in the meantime. The 5% house edge isn't sitting there silently to give you profit always. The flash promo was tempting for you, but you should have withdrawn the funds as you had already made a plan to spend it for your needs. This is another example of greediness or what do we call it  0.022 btc is a decent profit and if he is still willing to risk more and not withdraw then it is his money, his life and his luck. If I was at his place, I would definitely withdraw all this amount and enjoy it elsewhere and not again gamble with it. That is a secret of happiness, enjoy the profits from the casino, somewhere outside the casino.  |

The outcome of the majority of casino games is mostly controlled by luck rather than ability.
Not mostly but I think all of them are based on luck. Unless some casino is rigged. But if not, all of them follow the same rules for games. If you are good at some games, that will mean nothing when you are playing on an online platform while gambling. The odds are always random. So we need to keep that in mind and then approach gambling. There are no tricks to winning every time and it contains both winning and losing. It is a way of entertainment. That's all gambling is. All you do while gambling is make a bet and roll the dice. Your luck will decide your chances of winning and losing. If the casino is rigged, then you will always lose in gambling. You will not make any money even if luck is on your side and also you will not get any entertainment from the rigged casino. So the first thing is to identify a trusted casino and play only at that casino. Now if you are only for the entertainment, believe me you enjoy the game and make money as well. Even if you lose, you won't regret it because you will satisfy yourself that you spend the money on gambling entertainment. However, when the motive is to gain money, then emotions come into play. You will be happy winning but in case of loss, you will regret it and make your day a bad one. |

You can't really blame people for not wanting to play poker anymore. You said it yourself "it requires knowledge and skill" and frankly enough not a lot of people will be willing to put in the required work and hours to learn a game only to fail horribly to opponents with years of experience under their belt.
Well, if you do not learn and play, how can you become a professional poker player? People need to realize that those who are experienced, were one day very new to poker, but they did not leave the poker only because there are experienced players already in the market. By the way, does experience really count in Poker: We get the cards by luck and therefore this game 80% depends on the luck and 20% on the moves by the players. |

Every warm-up match had been interesting to watch due to the high scoring. In today's match Williamson tossed the coin in style and soon after winning the toss he nodded the head and took batting. It means they've already planned whether to go with batting/bowling on winning the toss. Same as what they had planned, things are working in favour of New Zealand team.
Weather conditions disturbed the match, yet everything is on time. Close to 350 runs can b expected as New Zealand have reached 243/3 in 40 overs. New player Chapman on the crease is now waiting for another fresh batsman from the pavilion.
New Zealand's innings stopped at 321 runs against South Africa. If New Zealand could have continued the way they started in the end, the score would have crossed 350 plus, but they were not very aggressive towards the end against the South African bowlers. I wouldn't say the South African bowlers bowled very well today, they picked up a wicket early in the game but then they didn't pick up wickets for a long time, due to overheating two players got off the field with good runs for the team. South Africa took a total of six wickets against New Zealand and managed to pick up five of them in the last over which led to New Zealand's first innings total of 321 otherwise the first innings total could have been bigger. South Africa is struggling in terms of the run rate and are at 60 runs with one wicket down. If they can manage to keep the wickets in hand, this match may become tense at the end but for now, South Africa not only needs to accelerate a bit but make sure that they do not lose wickets too. Devon Conway played a very good innings of 78 runs before he was retired hurt. If he had played more, I am sure he would have made the century. Their captain Tom Latham , also played a good innings of 52 runs and helped their team make almost a match winning total (their bowlers of course need to defend this score). |

As experts say, gamble responsibly. When you are greedy, that's already a significant non-compliance with responsible gambling. So, expect that you'll lose; there's no need to further explain this.
Greed is a human behavior that is difficult to eliminate, but we can control it when gambling, therefore learn to control emotions and control yourself to gamble wisely, of course gambling must be responsible but we also need to know and understand the meaning of responsibility in terms of This, don't waste money unnecessarily. Always limit your budget before gambling as an alarm for us to stop. Usually we can control our greed when we have a really good mindset, for example gambling just for fun, nothing more than that, let alone making money and making gambling a source of steady and consistent income, so listen to the experts on this forum, always remember the message that Always remind and read this thread because it is important for us to be able to control greedy behavior. It is impossible to control our greed especially when we are new to gambling. We do not know how greediness can destroy our portfolio but we only realize it once we have lost a lot of money in gambling. When we analyses our loses, we see that most of the time it is because of our greediness because if we had stopped the game and not wished for more profit, we could have enjoyed our profits and not converted the sure shot profit into losses. |

Exactly, a bad streak happens to all of us but is always frustating. It is easy to say to stop on time and take your winnings but when everything is going your way, you will always be inclined to keep going and keep playing as you think you will keep winning.
Unfortunately even stopping to play without waiting better results to come doesn't guarantee the losing streak will not resume once you will go back to the game the next day or even the next year. Life is life, sometimes outcomes are good, sometimes they are bad. What is dangerous is to chase your losses by increasing your stake, because if you lose again you will need to increase it even more, until finding yourself in a very bad situation that can harm your personal life sadly. Still, if you are in a losing mode, stopping and coming back tomorrow is somewhat better than keeping on playing for the day. I do not say that the next day the luck will change and you will start winning, the only thing that will change is your mood. You will come up fresh. The losses that you bear yesterday will be less burden on your mind as you had a break and a sleep. You will start over again. If you started winning, then it's good, if you started to lose again, then it's time to again quit for the day and come back the next day. |
