1901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: August 19, 2022, 09:25:36 AM
This is the right time for the gambling sites to make good profit, because most of the gamblers doesn't change the gambling process. Some might change from usage in terms of USD, whereas the usage in terms of bitcoin still continues. This makes the spending to be high as the price of bitcoin is low. So, from an user perspective he/she losses small and the truth is different.

If the bets are in Bitcoin, I would guess that more people will bet, because it's cheaper to do so.

But I'm not sure if the casinos would increase their minimum bets if Bitcoin price goes too low.
Of course when Bitcoin gets dumped there will be a bad or other effect for a gambler. Because when a gambler bets with Bitcoin, his bets will definitely be affected by the Bitcoin market dumping. But when a gambler bets with stable coins, the dumping of bitcoins has no effect on his bets.
Players used to change the betting pattern depending upon the market situation. Today the market have experienced a massive dump in the price.

Does this made any impact over the gamblers?
No, because majority of the gamblers who spend in stable coins will be continuing it whereas the person who spend in terms of bitcoin will be spending low when calculated in terms of USD. Only thing if the gambler cashout his winning there will be impact, until then dump doesn't affect gamblers.

I still don't know why many persons think that gambling has a revert effects on us especially when it comes religion. They think that as a gambler, you are a bad person and you have the trait of involving in a bad art which had been the way the society sees gamblers. We gamble to earn and many persons had turned to gambling for a better way to earn without having to work or depends on the government to provide basic amenities. The risk is you either win or lose which had made it difficult for us to continually decide the kind of winning we want.
Do you want to know why many think that a gambler is bad person? because many think that gambling is tantamount to wasting money you have earned by working especially when the person becomes addicted will justify any means to be able to gamble but if you can gamble with good self-control then it will not be a problem but unfortunately, a lot who can't be like that, gambling to earn is not easy and not everything can be like that.
You are right. When we play gambling, we can forget the time and can play gambling all day. We can imagine how much money we will use, especially if we deposit large amounts. Not to mention the problem of addiction that can cause other problems in our lives, such as losing all the money on the gambling table so we can't buy our necessities of life. If we are addicted to gambling, in our minds, there is only gambling and how we can have money to gamble. We won't see if we can buy food after we finish gambling because we won't think that way.
Once a person is addicted, he will have two things running in his mind according to me. First thing how to recover what the person have lost. Second thing how to arrange for funds with which gambling can be done to recover the funds. By the time they never think of family and all as said above. Once after losing the frustration hits hard as the person won't be able to meet his family's needs. Some used to think of ending the life whereas others share and confess to get relief.

There is some bad news coming in. Sourav Ganguly has made it clear that he is not interested in becoming the ICC Chairman. And this further means that the corrupt Greg Barclay will continue as the ICC chairman for the next two years or so. The elections are due in November this year, and at this point it looks as if Barclay will be elected without any significant opposition, as he is the pig-4 nominee. I just hope that the boards outside the pig-4 unite this time around and get their nominee elected instead of Barclay.
Even if Sourav Ganguly gets elected as the next ICC chairman nothing is gonna change. ICC will operate same as what we see now. Look at the situation of BCCI, there were big expectation over Sourav Ganguly when elected. What happened till date is nothing new. Whether it is Barclay or Ganguly ICC will remain to function same as now prioritising money.

Recently 3 suspects were arrested by Israel police for laundering money internationally through crypto. This money was stolen from France. This is a major international money-laundry.
Why f there is crime related to Bitcoin and crypto, the news will be very high sreading. But when the money laundering, as usual, is considered something that is a common situation.
Here, simply, crimes with Bitcoin or crypto is very small compared to criminal with non-BTC (like fiat and others). WHy should balme BTC always?
because there are so many interests in BTC, so many aprties still hate BTC that is why they always blame BTC for whatever the crimes.
Three persons were arrested for laundering millions of money stolen from the French treasury. Three suspects arrested. During the same time period there might be higher amount of money laundered through other means, and police could've arrested them. But, the news won't come outside. This is just a way of making a negative thought about cryptocurrency over the minds of people who were in a dilemma whether we can use crypto or not.

Already came across a thread in which bitcoin was taught in a church. Crypto in Church

Here our OP have done a good job. Nothing offensive, For years and years Churches and Missionaries have helped in the development of a region through education. Now this is being proved once again. It is true, when the people gets education automatically we can experience the change happening over the region as well as the community.
1906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 19, 2022, 01:56:22 AM
South Africa has a lead of just 124 runs and they have already lost 7 wickets. They need to get a lead of 200 runs if not then I feel the English side will take control of this test match. I would say it was a good comeback for the England team a lot can be credited to the pitch and the positive condition for bowlers. Not much batting left for South Africa except Marco Jansen still going on well and I can only expect him to go on until SA has a lead of 200 plus run.
200+ lead will keep South Africa at a good position. With Jansen and Rabada on the crease the chance of reaching 350+ runs seems to be tough. Anyhow England will try the best to restrict the team from scoring and might not take the wickets. Three more days left, so it need to withstand atleast to draw the match.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 18, 2022, 04:37:29 PM
Alhamdulliah Pakistan won the match by the 7 Wickets and as always. M.Rizwan the True Pakistani Lion made itso easy by a tremendous innings of 69 Runs. Expectations cames true here there was Poor Start by Netherlands,on the Batting end but they tried their best on Bowling startup but Results goes with good performance of Pakistani Batsman.
With Netherlands too similar situation happened. Netherlands lost the third wicket at 8 runs. I thought the innings will go for atleast 250+ runs, but the early fall of wickets changed the match. Pakistan lost its second wicket at 11 runs. The early wickets made the team struggle a little, but Babar Azam, Rizwan and Salman made it steady and won the match comfortable.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 18, 2022, 10:23:55 AM
Netherland - Pakistan

The first match between the Netherlands vs Pakistan was very competitive. Pakistan set a huge target of 315 runs. The Netherlands managed to collect 298 runs. But the Netherlands decided to bat after winning the toss in today's match. And in the beginning, they stumbled. The Netherlands lost three top-order batsmen for just 8 runs. It will be very difficult for the Netherlands to get back on track in this match.

I can see that Pakistan got the top 3 Wickets Just on the total of 33 Runs and I'm expecting the match is goin one sided for now. But Lets wait for atleast 20 overs to be finished then the prediction of the Match is going to be so easy. Pakistan really got very good Batting Line up if Netherlands Fail to Set up a good total against the Pakistan then that is gona very hard for Netherlands to win the match. Pakistan got really good start with the bowling side as expected. Its gona be interesting to see how far Netherlands goes against Pakistan's Bowling After losing huge Wickets.
Netherlands lost 3 wickets at 8 runs. Now the score have reached 70 runs in 16 overs which is a good recovery. Cooper is getting close to make his 50 runs. The run rate is quite good. Pakistan had a good start, now Netherlands is managing well the situation finding ways to make some runs.

There is good news for West Indies. They managed to win the ODI match against New Zealand. And with this win, they have 90 points in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League and are now almost guaranteed of a position in top-8. And what this means is that it will be very difficult for both Sri Lanka and South Africa to qualify for the ODI World Cup in 2023. South Africa also forfeited the ODI series against Australia and this puts them in a very difficult position. Sri Lanka has 6 matches remaining and South Africa has 8. Now it will be almost impossible for them to catch up to West Indies.
West Indies disappointed its followers on T20 cricket, and now making a big progress in the ODI series. This series seems very interesting, because New Zealand at the first position doesn't get affected by the win/loss. The win of West Indies will be closely watched by other teams.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 18, 2022, 08:20:31 AM
Both the openers (Tadiwanashe Marumani and Innocent Kaia) are very cautious and slow. So far they have made 5 runs from 26 balls. But the wayward Indian bowling (Deepak Chahar and Mohammed Siraj) have gifted them 13 runs in the form of extras. This shows the importance of playing warmup matches. Both the bowlers looks as if they haven't adjusted to the conditions yet. A total of 7 wides conceded in the first 4 overs. Can you believe this? They are bowling with good pace, but the discipline is simply not there. 
Openers weren't able to play against the pace from Deepak Chahar and Siraj. Zimbabwe have lost 4 wickets scoring 37 runs in 11 overs. India is playing after 6 years in Zimbabwe. Chahar have took 3 wickets and this is a big comeback for his after a big break. Now the expected player Raza is on the crease. If wicket fall this way the innings might end within 100 runs.

Playing with big teams like Newzealand, India and others has certainly helped the Irish team a lot. I never thought that the Afghan's were a weaker side but I realised they were not better than the Ireland. A massive boost of morale this series win will help them in the upcoming T20WC. I think a few big teams will face a good challenge and some might lose to them.
Agreed and even in those matches against India and New Zealand, Ireland gave good fight. India won the match in a very small margin. The performance from Ireland is good, but it lacks experience. Surely this will turn to be one among the top teams in the coming years. Afghanistan is no low to Ireland, because it equalled the series 2-2 after losing the first two matches. The fifth match is a win for Ireland which is based on DLS method.
1912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 18, 2022, 07:35:42 AM
Indian bowlers are not very experienced. They don't have players such as Bumrah, Shami and Ishant in the squad. Pace bowling will be handled by Siraj and Prasidh, with help from Deepak Chahar, while spinners for this match are Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Deepak Hooda. I would say that India looks more stronger in the batting department when compared to bowling. And it will be interesting to watch the performance of Sanju Samson, who is being given an opportunity despite repeated failures earlier.  
Considering the bowling it looks like India have chosen to bowl after winning the toss. Sanju Samson will try the best to keep things favouring India. Zimbabwe playing in its home ground will try to set a target above 250 runs. I'm eagerly waiting for the game of Raza who served as a game changer in the previous series against Bangladesh.

I think your dad is one among the person who believed in Bitcoin Cash during the split. I've made this statement based on OP name which is BccKing. Based on the account created date Op could've experienced this seems to be a coincidence. According to me, bitcoin is the best and just because altcoins made him loss we can't conclude altcoins aren't needed. Because, if there is just bitcoin the growth won't be big. The competence keeps things in an updated way.
1914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador claim bitcoin attracts tourists right or wrong? on: August 16, 2022, 06:07:37 AM
Tourism in El Salvador generated revenue of $755 million during the year 2020. As the pandemic interfered the country experienced lack of revenue from tourism. Roughly it contributes around 3% of the country's GDP. To overcome the economic situation out of pandemic, the government took measures and working on it.

In recent days the tourism have boomed in El Salvador. This is much in connection with the bitcoin adoption as well as the tourism locations created. As of now El Salvador attracts the most of the tourism among the Latin American countries. According to me the tourism boom in El Salvador is happening because of bitcoin adoption.
1915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Problem Gambler Feels After Losing on: August 15, 2022, 10:18:43 PM

Gambling is a way to get rich in a short time.  So it attracts more people age of 20-40 years.  Because people of this age are more inclined towards money.  Then they get greedy and waste their hard-earned money by gamble. And they lose gambling and go into depression.  Which creates turmoil in their family.
We can't commonly term gambling as a way to get rich. It needs to be very specific, which means gambling is way to get rich for the luckiest. The age group between 20-40 have big commitments and the same makes people risk their hard earned money. Many people have made fortune out of gambling, for the same we should not believe it to come with is.

I have always seen detractors of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. But this one, it's hilarious.
In my opinion, these are the words of someone who has no knowledge about cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Also, I think that his only reason for saying such things is to become a little more famous and we hear his name on social media.
There are already many haters of Bitcoin and crypto who made hilarious or strange statements. You shouldn't be so surprised about it. I don't think Roubini doesn't know crypto or blockchain, he just acted like he has no knowledge. Sure, one of his goals is to be popular or to attract people's attention. If we react to his statement excessively, he finally succeeds to achieve his goal. So, ignoring it is the best way to respond to it. In this way, he can't get anything, he wasted time only by making that controversial statement.


It have become a way to be popular through controversial statement. It is always a good choice to go with the trend. Right now the trend is with the cryptomarket, and so it Roubini have revealed statements of connected with cryptocurrency. When the market reacts, automatically these people turn to be influencers. Lets wait, soo this person will state bitcoin in a positive way.
1917  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we hodling BTC or we are hodling Fiat?? on: August 15, 2022, 09:00:23 PM
With cryptocurrency if we start watching charts and making trade plans we need to follow it. If not we should have the target selling and buying price. With this pattern it is good to increase the portfolio holding little by little out of the market fluctuation. Whenever the market turns bearish, we should find it a way to invest and don't get into panic. What we're experiencing now is perfect fit for this.

The cryptocurrency market is completely different from the traditional market. So, closer observation than the traditional market is much required.
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 15, 2022, 08:46:05 PM

Of course, New Zealand was not going to play with all of their strength after knowing that they had already won the T20 Series against the West Indies. It is sad to see the West Indies like this in the T20 format right now. They have always been known for the hard-hitting in T20. But things are not exactly working out like that for West Indies. And as long as they don't improve their bowling performance they will not be able to compete against the bigger opponents.
Just because New Zealand haven't played with the full strength, West Indies have won the match. Maybe this is true, but a win losing just two wicket shows it is a big win. So, even if it is a full strength team West Indies could've defeated New Zealand in the last T-20. West Indies is power packed, the team lacks consistency which is the major issue with them.

The all time high price of dogecoin is near $0.73 which is very high compared to its current price around $0.07 per coin. The price that have got pushed near to $0.73 can move even further We don't know the deadline, many people find it a memecoin and just ignore. According to current market value it is good to invest.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 15, 2022, 06:10:22 PM
If Ireland wind this match then they will win the series and if not then the 5 match will be worth watching. The way Irish team has played in this series I guess the chances of them winning this match is also good. But, it is T20 which means highly unpredictable. If Afghanistan wants to win this match then they need to bat first and set up a good target for the Irish team.
Toss has been delayed as the weather was cloudy at Belfast and it was raining there. The rain has stopped now and the weather looks better. It will be hard to predict the winner of this match. I'm going to choose Afghanistan for this match. The odds is 1.47× for Afghanistan win. In my opinion, batting first won't be a good decision in this field now. The outfield could be slow as it is wet.
Ireland have won the toss and decided to bowl. The rain delay had made the match to cut 9 overs on each innings. Now this is an eleven over match. Afghanistan have started well scoring 17 runs in the very first over. If this way of scoring continues we can expect the targeted to be around 120 - 130 runs. Match results seems to have close results.
Your calculation have come true. Afghanistan team have scored 132 runs losing 6 wickets. Ireland have started the innings and trying to keep the run rate according to the requirement. Already 4 wickets fallen, more 70 runs required in the last 5 overs. This is a win for Afghanistan, because 14 runs per over is really tough after losing the batting line-up wickets.
