Looking for the decider match between West Indies and New Zealand. In the second game New Zealand made the easy win and managed to tie the series 1-1. In that match Finn Allen made a tremendous performance scoring 96 runs while the entire team struggled to perform. The target looked chaseable, but the opening order of West Indies weren't good to carry the responsibility. If they play in such a way this match too gonna be loss for them. A win in this match is much important for West Indies, because winning the series adds 10 World Cup Super League points.
Today is the last match between West Indies vs New Zealand for this ODI series. Where both have won one match. Today will be a series deciding match. I'd say both teams are perfect. 50-50 chance of getting the series for both of them. Winning this series will be a lot of motivation on behalf of west indies. But New Zealand is a reliable team that is not easy to beat.

The performance of Ireland has certainly improved a lot in recent times. I did not even expect them to perform so well against Afghanistan in the T20 series. I am glad to see Ireland at such a promising stage in its development. But I was thinking something interesting which is, what if Ireland plays against Bangladesh right now?

Bangladesh is not doing very well in any of the formats. And a win against a team like Bangladesh is obviously going to be very helpful for Ireland. I think Ireland has the capability right now to do that. And it is true that Ireland will have to be very consistent in terms of both individual and team performance.

Depends on where the matches are being played. Bangladesh always perform better during home matches and Ireland really struggle in sub-continental conditions. So in all probability, Ireland will be having an advantage in case the matches are being played in Dublin or Belfast, while Bangladesh will be the favorites if the matches are being held in Dhaka or Chittagong. And in both cases the teams are overdependent on a few players (Stirling, Tector.etc in case of Ireland and Litton Das, Shakib.etc in case of Bangladesh).

In Bangladesh obviously, the tracks are designed to be made for the benefit of Bangladeshi players, and in Ireland vice versa. If the matches are played in Bangladesh, even though Bangladesh is not in the most ideal situation right now, I feel like Bangladesh is going to win against Ireland. Just because of that home-ground advantage.

But if the matches are played in Ireland I have my doubts about Bangladesh. The situation in Bangladesh cricket is not favorable at all right now and Ireland will obviously be trying to take advantage of the situation. And it is true that even though Bangladesh has come a long way, Bangladesh is still dependent on certain players to win the match. Just like Ireland.
It is very difficult to win if a country's national players depend on certain players. As Bangladesh team players are act in the same position. They depend on some senior players. If they are not playing, it is very difficult to win the match. So well understood that no reliable player has been produced in the Bangladesh team. It is their misfortune. Where their board is specifically responsible for this situation.

Unlike FIFA, the voting rights in ICC is skewed and favors the pig-4. In FIFA, each of the 211 national associations have equal voting powers. But in the ICC, there are only 3 votes allotted to the ~100 associate nations. On top of that the test nations outside pig-4 are not united and are dependent on boards such as BCCI and ECB for bilateral tours. Another issue is that 80% of the associate boards are fake, solely composed of foreigners with no representation from the natives. These people tend to be pro-BCCI and corrupt.

I also think that I can say that in the ICC corruption runs very deep and that statement is not gonna be very wrong. ICC could have gotten out of this situation if they did not have so many corrupt personnel. And some personnel in the ICC have direct contact and good relations with the personnel of certain boards. So for obvious reasons, those cricket birds are going to be favored heavily instead of the others. And most of the associate teams are just some jokes because you cannot form a national team without having one native player. If you think you really don’t have any other option instead of making a team without a single native player you don’t need to or deserve to play cricket.
ICC does not care about any kind of good or bad decisions. Because they have a secret relationship with some boards. Any agreement they make is confidentially mutual with those boards. But gradually many things are becoming clear. Hopefully, this corruption may decrease in the future.

Casino owners are always trying to make the casino more attractive. The decoration of each casino is usually glitzy and extravagant. A gambler's ‍attitude changes as soon as he enters a casino. Usually gambler gets everything he wants which makes a gambler more attracted to the casino. Besides, various beautiful girls are kept there for entertainment. Food is also provided to satisfy hunger. People believe that casino owners make casinos into a sort of paradise that psychologically appeals to the gamblers.

About! Asia cup. The only match that I am interested and want to put my money in it is the one that will happen on Aug 28   between India vs Pakistan. I am sure this match will have a close outcome as this match requires nerves and handle the pressure. I am sure Virat Kohli will be part of the team and if he is good he will deliver, otherwise their is  a good chance of him getting kicked off.
Naturally, The cricket world is eagerly waiting for the match between India and Pakistan. These two teams have the highest support ৃacross the world. Dubai International Cricket Stadium may be full on that day. That match will be the highlight of the entire Asia Cup game. Virat Kohli will also get a chance he will try to utilize that. If he can perform well in that match, he will definitely add to the T20 world cup squad.

Zimbabwe  vs  India

The second match between Zimbabwe and India is also going to be completely one-sided. India won the toss and decided to field. After losing 6 wickets in 29 overs, Zimbabwe collected only 107 runs. Despite performing well against Bangladesh, Sikandar Raja failed in both matches against India. Zimbabwean opener Kaitano returned to the fold with 7 runs from 32 balls. Zimbabwe's players are not yet experienced enough. They should host series against teams like Bangladesh, Ireland and Afghanistan.
Zimbabwe is not able to defend India in any way. In the 2nd match they scored less runs from the 1st match. This is very much clear that they did not improve in this match. All the matches may be one sided. In Zimbabwe, the opening 5 batsmen were defeated to build resistance against India. Naturally they have to stay long in wicket otherwise they can't do well.

In my opinion, there are two side of "sportsbooks are vpn friendly" coin. They are friendly until you bring money and gamble. But as soon as you win big amount, they will instantly becomes unfriendly and will poke user with ToS, and wag a finger saying player violated something. I would say that being vpn friendly are casinos insurance from loosing big amounts. Some might disagree with me. But I will ask a proof then, where VPN user won a lot and casinos let him withdraw it.

Casinos have to protect their own interests as well. Lots of people tend to view them in a negative light but if they were to process all large winnings without screening them, they might give way to more fraud if they're not careful.
If a casino platform prohibits VPN then VPN should not be used there. In this point the gamblers have the responsibility. If they win a large amount then the gambling platform will not do anything, if there is a withdrawal. Both can be blamed for such problem. Why did the gambler choose the black way despite knowing the fact? and another one, why one gambling company did not message him after detecting?

Probably a small number of people can boast of being able to walk away from a casino with a winnings, and there are many more stories of failure. Risking your last remaining money is not a smart thing to do. I don't think such people have any strategy or plan of action for sure. It's just a huge success that happens very rarely, maybe even once in a lifetime.
True, it doesn't usually happen. It is totally on luck. However, it is not unusual to win small amounts of money here. As happened to Smith. But he gambled with $5,000 for about a week and won $17,000. This amount is not very high in gambling where many people have records of winning millions of dollars with keeping very few dollars.

Money is an important asset.  By which a man can be saved. And all activities of people are for the sole purpose of earning money. And the purpose of gambling is to double the money or more . In this world, where have possibility to earn much money, the more risk there is . Gambling is one such . So no matter how much trouble or pressure  a gambler is under.  Greed drives him to gambling again and again
We often forget the fact that gambling can never be taken as a source of income. It is natural that whenever a gambler is serious about gambling he will lose more. Those who are successful in gamblers they do not feel the need to use the money from gambling. It should be accepted as entertainment only. A girlfriend will never be a  barrier when it comes to entertainment. She may give him an idea about its merits or demerits.

One should never enter any site that have no foundation. Everybody wants to gamble with verified sites. I don't need to gamble on those sites outside of the forum because we know legit casinos and gambling platforms are always promoting in this forum. otherwise different sites are scamming in different ways. So everyone should be careful. The casino sites on the forum are said to be verified by the users. so I will not rate others who are out of the forum.
1892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 17, 2022, 02:30:28 PM

The biggest problem in my opinion for Ireland is they got a start, each of the batsmen had a start to their innings but they could not carry on. Lack of meaningful partnership was a problem for them. And they also had some multiple single-digit scores. I feel like Ireland tried to hit their way out of trouble. And that cost them their wickets.
In the last match, the players of Ireland performed very badly. Where four players scored 0 runs and one scored 1 run and another scored 3 runs. As a result, they had to give up the mach very easily. Today is last game of this series. Meanwhile, Ireland have won the toss and decided to bowl, let's see what happens and finally who will be the series winner.

This is in reference to a newbie thread in the gambling section about his list of casinos that surprisingly are not on this forum, there are too many of them some of them are already running 5 to 20 years already.

So I would like to ask are you playing in casinos that are not on this forum, if so what are these casinos and how's your experience can you recommend them here, can you name your own list
I usually don't try to play outside casinos. Because I find them ‍some times risky. I give the highest importance to the casinos that are running good promotions and those have been working here for a long time with having ANN threads, here and I always get quick support for any problem. I can rely on with high confidence of such casino or gambling platform.
1894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 13, 2022, 03:10:28 AM
Although gambling is legal in many countries of the world, it is illegal in Bangladesh. I don't understand how a national team player gets a contract with such an organization. Moreover, Shakib was restricted for a year due to not informing the board even after receiving the Fixing offer. He should not involved in such a betting platform at this time. This is certainly defamation where he is only the responsible.

It maybe unintentional. Shakib probably thought that what he was doing is legal and his manager didn't informed him about the finer details. Anyway, this is a closed chapter. Without much mud slinging, the issue was resolved. BCB reacted in a more mature way this time, and Shakib also did the right thing by quickly pulling out from the deal. I hope that from now onwards, the BCB won't create unnecessary issues by preventing him from playing in franchise leagues. He is nearing his retirement, and it is his right to earn a decent amount before he does that.
I agree with you. As long as a player stays in the national team or plays international games, his value in the world of cricket is high. But when they go into retirement, their value decreases day by day. At this time they will naturally want to earn some extra money. Anyway I think Shakib has realized his mistake. I hope, the cricket board will not hold any grudge against him.
1895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: August 13, 2022, 02:57:35 AM
For future, they need to do some significant changes which can bring good changes and surely good profit for them as well having a calendar for all franchise cricket and giving some good time to bilateral cricket is also important because this is beauty of cricket and franchise is future of cricket.
The ICC and the other boards don't really care about preserving the traditional formats. They care about money more than ever thanks to the economic turmoil around the world currently.

Many players are retiring early from tests and ODIs too in order to focus on the T-20 format which makes sense if you think about it.

Early retirement is new reality. Recent wave of retirement started with De kock when he retired from Tests. In current environment where schedule is so tight, players can't play all 3 formats so leaving 1-2 format is right call depending on their choice.
With some players this is the reality. Many others are much interested into franchise cricket and that too reason for players to get retired earlier. If we take count of the franchise cricket, it goes on. The latest being the franchise cricket by South Africa and UAE.
Everyone wants to ্give the priority their own interests. A player earns much more in franchise cricket than what he earns in international games. As we talk about IPL where a foreign player gets money I think this money is not possible in any other league or international match. As a result, a cricketer wants to retire early from T20, especially international match.

AFG- 189/5 (20)
IR - 167/9 (20)
Afghanistan won by 22 runs

Afghanistan's batsmen and bowlers returned to form in this match. We did not see a good performance from the batsmen in the first two matches. But every batsman in the top order played well in this match. Najibullah Zadran's innings of 42 off 18 balls was outstanding. On the other hand, Fazalhaq Farooqi took the wickets of two of Ireland's openers at the beginning of the innings and put Ireland under pressure. As a result, Ireland could not get back on track in this match.
It is Najibullah Zadran who changed the match, because even after the early wickets Ireland was able to score 167 runs which isn't an easy thing. If Najibullah Zadran haven't scored those big runs surely this match could've lowered the pressure over Ireland and the match could've turned. The bowlers are good to slow down the scoring, and take wickets.
Najibullah Jordan's stormy innings of 42 runs off 18 balls can undoubtedly be regarded as the turning point of this match. In addition, a slightly bigger reason is that the two best tools of the Ireland team are Paul Sterling and Andrew Balbirnie don't fit them pitch last match. So it's clear that Afghanistan needs a chance to alive this series and they alive Thier chance to win the series.
In the last match, each of Afghanistan's first four players managed to score good runs. As a result, Afghanistan can give a target of 189 runs. Here Najibullah gave an outstanding performance of 42 runs off just 18 balls with a strike rate of 233. In his T20 career, he managed to score fifty runs in seven matches.

Bangladesh Cricket Board is richer than New Zealand, West Indies and even South Africa cricket board. Even so, their performance is much weaker than these three teams. Even now they are losing badly against teams like Zimbabwe. Despite having a lot of money, the board is not taking any effective steps for the development of cricket or the development of the players. Even after the players enjoy huge salaries and perks, they cannot perform as expected
Bangladesh is developing as a cricketing nation and money alone does not produce exceptional talents  Tongue. They have their Bangladesh Cricket League and hopefully they will be finding players of quality like Shakib Al Hasan, but it is a long process of grooming young talents.

As far as I know in countries like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan their main sport is cricket. A large section of people in the country loves cricket. And so India and Bangladesh can earn a lot of money from sponsors. Despite adequate funding and people's interest in cricket, there is no improvement in cricket in Bangladesh. This is mainly due to the inefficiency of their board leaders. They are failing to find talented players. And talented players are not able to maintain their form long after joining the squad.
How is it possible if there is corruption at the initial stage from which the talented players will be taken out? As far as I know, there are arenas of corruption at every stage of Bangladesh cricket. First of all, Bangladesh cricket should take a corruption-free position. Otherwise, cricket in that country will be at the bottom there is no doubt about it.
1898  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more users to deposit. on: August 12, 2022, 03:21:27 AM
Gambling sites are a special type of business. Every business principle is to do several tips to attract customers. New gamblers will always be attracted if gambling sites offer deposit bonuses and various occasional cash bonuses. Handet Person Deposit Bonus to be offered to new joiners. Withdrawal system to be introduced without KYC. A gambling site needs to increase its trustworthiness rating points so that new gamblers will be attracted to that site.
Definitely, if gambling sites offer more deposit bonuses than others, also share new offers in various events to attract gamblers then those sportsbooks can definitely increase new gamblers as well as new depositors. Sometimes there are some gamblers who took a break at that time some sportsbooks also share loyalty bonuses that are very attractive to gamblers and they come back to gambling of that particular sportsbook.

In Bangladesh, it was possible because there were no media from other powerful countries trying to make more problems for them. But that was not the case in Pakistan. Media from a lot of countries always tried to show Pakistan as a country full of terrorists. And if we are actually going into the political side of things, I would like for you to know that bangladesh did not face too many problems because of having friendly relations with India. Otherwise, Bangladesh also could have been in deep trouble.

The media didn't tried to portray Pakistan as a "country full of terrorists". They actually highlighted the frequent incidents of terrorism happening in that country. And the cricket boards never took media reports in to account while cancelling their tours to Pakistan. Their decision was always based on what the government intelligence agencies informed them. For example, last year New Zealand decided to pull out from their tour, after a warning from the government that a terror attack was highly probable in the next few months.
All types of media, including local media, are exposed when terrorist attacks occur. Where the country's government fails to deal with such terrorist activities, the confidence of foreigners will go down naturally. At times there are suicide bombing incidents in religious institutions. Such type of attack is the cause of great concern.

Now home team is leading by 2 - 0 in five matches series before world cup is good for them and these wins are going to help them for this main round against big teams tomorrow we are going to have third match of this series hopefully now Afghanistan try their best for having better result.

Ireland's bowling line-up is not strong, nor are they experienced enough. Even then, the batsmen of Afghanistan are not able to play well against this bowling line-up. Afghanistan's innings ended today with just 122 runs. If the batsmen continue the such bad performance, Afghanistan is going to lose the next match as well. Top order players need to bat more responsibly.
Several players from Afghanistan play in various franchise matches and their popularity is wide. But they are also unable to perform. But there is nothing surprising here. It is not possible to consistently perform well in cricket. If Ireland win the next match, the series will be fixed on behalf of them. Can we expect Afghanistan win the next match?
