If countries join hands and form a league then it might give competence to the IPL. Maybe something like Asian league can be formed, and can be hosted in every participating country. This could increase the viewer base as well as popularise franchise cricket same as that we see football being played on the Western nations.

As of now Sri Lanka Premier League have got 7 teams. Bangladesh Premier League have got 7 teams. Afghanistan Premier League have got 5 teams and Everest Premier League have got 8 teams. Among this same player will be playing different leagues for different teams. Only in such occasion there arises problem.
This is a good suggestion. So we have 5 countries - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Either they can have 2 teams each from these countries, or add one team and then can have additional teams from UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia. The tournament can be either held in Super League format (group based), or a shorter Super Cup format (knockout only). That said, teams from different countries are involved and therefore deciding on the revenue sharing and hosting rights may be a bit tricky.
Adding six or seven countries are not going to happen realistically because we will have many problems foremost this will be needed very long period and right now we have not been spacing for the event which is having more than 45 days even IPL is now having too many teams and longest event which bringing problems for the players here just having few countries like Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be also good because Bangladesh most chances will be not joined this event as they are already doing good for their BPL even this is not bringing enough revenue but still they will not join anything which involved Pakistan like India.

Having teams from Oman, UAE and Saudi Arab is also not ideal situation for them because most these countries not have native players so in case of they will have few matches in these countries will be also good but having more teams will never been ideal.

PSG are very often losing in the latter stages of the Champions League, despite their strong squad and predictions that they could become champions... But I think the coaching is not bad, because in Ligue 1 they are in first place in the standings and have a gap of 7 points from Marseille, their closest rival...
When you take a look on the budget spent in Ligue 1, you will see why PSG is almost in the first place the whole time and why the other teams are way behind.
The level of Ligue 1 without PSG is like any normal European league, nothing special. Lille, Lyon, Marseille and sometimes Rennes and Nice pop up and do something interesting in European competitions but cannot go too far.
I want to say that being in the first place for PSG and getting 7 points gap isn't really an achievement and cannot judge how good is the tactic used there. Facing European teams like Bayern, City, Real Madrid can give a global view about the team and players and until now, nothing special for PSG.
In this season we have just two leagues which are having big difference of points La Liga and Serie A with all other three leagues are having tough competitions between top teams same here even still PSG having seven points difference which is looking better but as they are spending budget this is not ideal situation because they are doing things without any solid strategy just for their own sack which is also big issue.

Qatari are having money, and they buy this club for doubling their money which is already done but their dream for having trophies is not completed because this all is not happening with only money you need something different as well as good coach and better environment which is not available here in this club specially just one thing which is creating here mess-up is mostly are complaining about Mbappé which is having different protocol and all other players are not having things like these, so they need to be a professional's not personal like and dislikes.
1903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 21, 2023, 09:04:12 PM
oh you're right. In Laliga, it turns out that Real Madrid is already very difficult to win the title because Barcelona is currently at the top of the standings with a very large difference in points. so this will certainly make Real Madrid prioritize the Champions League more. and I personally also believe that in all respects Real Madrid is far superior this season. especially in the first leg which turned out to be Real Madrid will host the match. and we need to know that the result of the first leg is sometimes very important to build a better mentality for the second leg.
You can ignore Real Madrid's performance in La Liga because it seems like they are very bad about their performance. Their chances in La Liga are getting slimmer, in fact I think they have failed since Barcelona are 12 points ahead.

A different performance from Real Madrid in the Champions League can certainly be expected. The Champions League is Real Madrid's top priority this season as well as the Copa del Rey but both titles are equally important so I don't think they will give up on either one this season. But the thing is, how can we expect Chelsea to get beaten up like that?
Now La Liga is out of their frame because 12 rounds left with 12 points lead is enough for the Barcelona to win the title in last match Real Madrid performance was good but still not able to win this match, so their best chance is to have another Champions League title in this season or gone without any trophy and prepare for the next season which is also not bad because in last season they have double and Barcelona were not able to have anything so changes occurring very quickly in fields which is good for the sports and sportsmen.

Chelsea's game is looking easy on papers but in practical things looking not easy with any team can perform better on his day and things can be gone into their favor which is also part of this game.
1904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Placing bet on WWE on: March 21, 2023, 07:21:46 PM
From my understanding of wrestle mania WWE,I see it as a fixed fight,which there is an agreement of who will win the fight. Despite all these people still buy tickets to watch the fight. I don't see this as a transparent fight,but people still bet on this fight. Is it that they are ignorant of this fight fixing or they are addicted to gambling and just bet on whatever come across them. As a gambler will you bet on such fight,when you know that the fight is fixed and the outcome of the fight is not for real,or will you go ahead to bet for fun?
I think the people that buy the tickets to go and watch wrestling matches do it only for fun and to watch their favorites regardless of the fact that the fights are scripted and fixed. And even if the fights or each of the sequences and everything are fixed and scripted, I believe the general public still doesn't know who is going to be the winner, at least except for some of the fights where they make it too obvious.

So I think considering the fact that even if everything is scripted, we don't know in advance who will be the winner, people might bet on their favorite wrestlers just for fun and then wait to see the outcome of the fight.

there are probably many people out there who have been scammed by the casinos that are out there too. It's because they look for the casino based on search engines so they can be wrong in finding the casino. Those of us who are already on this forum can avoid casinos like that to overcome the fraud problem. Even though some casinos on this forum end up being scammed, we can all get the information clearly so we won't be fooled. So we really have to do research before choosing a casino so we can play gambling at the right casino.
Choosing a favorite or good casino at the beginning can be very challenging, especially for someone who isn't really experienced when it comes to casinos or different pladtforms, and they also barely read or understand the FAQs or terms and conditions of a casino that are very important for the gamblers so that if they face any issues in the future, they should at least have a general idea of what happened before they can reach out to customer service.

That is the reason why it is better for newbies to simply stick to the old and trusted casinos so that they can avoid getting scammed from a casino that isn't really what it says it is, and I say that because I've seen that happening fast.
1906  Economy / Speculation / Re: What about the little increase? on: March 21, 2023, 06:29:03 AM
Do you see the recent increase bitcoin has come up with. I believe this is good sign that bitcoin will pump this year, we are still in the third month, looking at the middle of the year, something will surely bulls up. When I open my wallet I was surprise of the price from $23000 to $26000 that's cool for those who buys recently.

What did you think about the price? Will it pump soon
Have you been inactive for last few days? Because it has been within the $26k and above areas for a couple of days already, and it has been a few days since it came up from the $23k mark. It obviously is good to see the price grow above $25k which was the resistance from the last month, but as we see, it hasn't been able to cross $27k yet.

I think in the current situation, it isn't really a great time to buy, but those who are willing to buy should wait for it to show some movement from here, it will be either positive or negative. If it starts going down from here, those with larger capitals should probably start doing DCA.

The speculations about Maguire to be sold in the summer have started to surface again these days. He is expected to be sold together with Lindelof according to some news sources. I think this would really be the right move for Manchester United to make. They refuted the rumours about they would sell Maguire in January first. But now I don't think they will make a statement like they will keep Maguire in the team. Because he doesn't even play regularly and for a long time when he has the chance.

Lindelof hasn't been much differrent than him either. It depends on they find better alternatives for these two defenders of course. I think they can find better defenders but I don't think it would be their priority. Because they should sign a solid striker first.
After having good success in this season things are going to be completely different for the Manchester United in next season which needs few changes and if they are now thinking about this surely Ten Hag having something different in his mind for the next season because right now he is doing all positive moves which are giving them good success in all leagues Maquire was talk of the town in last winter transfer window but nothing happen but now most chances they will bring better suitable replacement and complete this transfer which will help both parties.

Lindelof is also having not good role in this team with new changes occurring, and many new faces are under target which are going to have better performance and quality with who is under their radar for the next season right now no one having any clue as all will be clear after end of this season which is now just two months away.

When I sleep it's like a dream to play Play'n Go.
After waking up I made my dream come true. Cheesy


I just keep watching all these messages and the wins with my mouth wide open and wondering how you guys manage to hit those multipliers and win big amounts while I no matter how many spins I do, manage to get nothing at all at the end. I don't really play to win big but I mean it's fun to at least win something sometimes especially if you are in the mood to play more.

Congratulations guys, I guess I still have a lot of digging to do in order to hit that big multiplier, or maybe I'm never lucky enough to reach that point or maybe I don't play with a very high budget.

Lens had a very impressive game against Angers home and destroyed them. They were solid in terms of passing and shots both. Angers couldn't even resist them much. Lens need to maintain an effort similar to this level if they want to keep their claim for a spot in the Champions League. They need to finish at the second spot if they want to join the group stage directly of course.
This season lens performance is very interesting. There was a time they were at first position that they couldn't maintain  to remain to lead. If lens can maintain the second position to get a spot in the Champions league it will be achievement this season.
It was so easy for lens to beat anger.
There is no doubt about Lens done impressive job in this season while they are still having strong grip at third spot which is giving all details about their performance in this season even right now Monaco, Rennes and Lille are also fighting hard for the better spot and replace them, but their consistency is amazing which is allowing them for having better place now after break we will have challenging match as Lens is going to face Rennes in away match, but surely this is going to be good match for the both teams.

Mostly were feeling in early rounds they could be down in next half of this season but their consistent performance and quality is giving good results which are surely important for the staying into top teams hopefully they will be able to stay at this level until end of this season which could be impressive and good reward for their hard work.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich match will be played next week. Everything will become clearer in that match. Borussia Dortmund have played better in the last few weeks. However, Bayern Munich can untie the knot in this match.

By the way, Choupo-Moting and Mane are very good players but Bayern Munich are definitely looking for Lewandowski. They did not fill his void. That's why they're dealing with more disappointments this season than ever before. We can't see the old glory Bayern Munich this season.
Now all pressure is on Bayern Munich because with this defeat things looking difficult while they are having quarter-final against Manchester City and before this first April is date for the hosting of Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena this match will give better view about who is going to win title in this season right now Dortmund is having one point lead and in case of win or draw they could be on pole position for the title race but if this will not happen then surely things could be favour defending champions Bayern Munich once against for the title race with Union Berlin and RB Leipzig are also badly down and out of the competition race.

Bayern Munich is big club now here no one care about Robert Lewandowski because he is past, and they are looking for the future which is clearly bright because they are having few good players under their radar and few changes surely will bring better change in this squad for the next season.

I would prefer betting on sport which can be easy to win than any other kind bet that could make us lose if we don't have a strategy or how to go about it. Sport trading has different ways we can make money with plenty of options to select from. In sport betting, we can make more money and earn large because we can cash out even though one or two of our games did not meet up with the result of our bet. Sport bet is good and we can make money from it quickly than betting on other games that are not sport related.
Well, it's not easy to win even in sports betting as the results can always go the other way around if you are out of luck. And you can also not win big in sports betting if your bets don't go as planned. Even if you place 5 bets on the most probable winners, you can still lose the bets considering you are extremely out of luck for that day.

So even sports betting can give you losses and it shouldn't be taken as an easy way to earn profits. Though some research and analysis can back your decision up, just like other gambling games, sports bets can also turn out to be a win or a loss based on luck.
1912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a treasure. on: March 19, 2023, 06:52:20 PM
What Medium? This is Bitcointalk mate but moving on... There is no problem if someone calls Bitcoin as their property but I am sure they did not mean as a house or a land because they are also called as property. 2 BTC in most countries is already huge that someone can already buy a property. It's also possible that those people are planning to buy a property with their Bitcoins? A property is also considered as an investment but I think the term property is more superior.

You even call Bitcoin as a treasure there but did those guys complain about it? That was still fine. Just don't call Bitcoin something negative like a scam because that wasn't acceptable anymore and many Bitcoin supporters are going to bash you for that.

Somehow I can't believe this news. This has been said before and nothing has changed. I won't believe it until I see that all the scam allegations are resolved. Until that has happened I would remain cautious and would still not recommend 1xBit.  Wink

I'm curious if you really manage to restore the reputation and solve all the problems. Otherwise this announcement brings nothing. With this takeover, you also took on many, many problems. I doubt if that was a good decision. It's going to be a tough task, Mark!  Tongue
What about before? Are those scam accusations were resolved? Or are there no complaints about them that time but they just hand out to a new owner. If that is, then that new owner must be the problem but its hard to believe that someone will buy an existing casino that has lots of unresolved problems but maybe the casino has been offered to them at a cheap price because the owner have gave up already and they can not get new costumers to be scammed.

If it was me, I think I'd better start on scratch as that will still be cheaper and I will be able to focus easily on how to improve it than by fixing the existing mess which will just delay me.
1914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season on: March 19, 2023, 06:58:39 AM
To be fair it was a bit of a tougher game than I expected, I would have assumed that it would have been a very easy win for us, after beating 14 teams in a row, this one didn't really look like a big deal at all and one of the games that we could get easily. However, anyone who watched our most recent games would know that we were barely winning while keeping this run going, it was good, and I think it is definitely going to give us the title, all thanks to that run, but it had to end somewhere. Kudos to Konya, they played very well and tough, they really wanted that win and they totally deserved it.
Most of the peoples were feeling after having 14 wins things looking easy for the Galatasaray, and they can handle this all without any problem with the stats and play of visitors things were in their favor as well, but injury time goal give big below even right now they are still in good position and having strong hold at the top, but this is timely reminder for them any team can give you shocking defeat, so you have to settle all things with tougher mind.

After few poor weeks now Konya is doing good and now have second win with three matches without defeat mean they are preparing for better end of this season while many teams at the top are struggling badly now tomorrow Fenerbahçe is going to visit Alanya for the narrowing this difference which is currently nine points hopefully after tomorrow match this will have just 6 points difference.
1915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 18, 2023, 09:18:02 PM
Rockets are on a 3 game winning streak, which is not what I really expected to be fair, they are a bottom team that is tanking, so them getting three wins in a row is beyond what I could have predicted. Maybe they guaranteed their position so that is why they are playing a bit better and the coach is showing what he can do with this team if given the chance and not asked to be tanking.

In the end, this could also be because they have young players who are not tired whereas other teams already played 70 games give or take and all of them are tired and the playoff ones are just resting right now until the playoffs to be more ready (unless their playoff spot is in danger).
1916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: March 18, 2023, 06:48:49 PM
In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim and recently I came across a thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437603.0 seeking for Casinos with paid referral bonuses and I tool out time to read most of the responses there and they all seem impossible to claim referral bonuses.
I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses
I don't know because I've never made referrals to get bonuses and they pay or not, I think each casino has its own rules in referral bonus services, and if you consider that it's just a waste of time and very difficult to get, maybe you need to show task what the casino did so i will try to understand what you mean about this.
Maybe if you feel it is a waste of time, you should not do it and look for another casino that provides an easier process to get bonuses from referral promos or you don't do that at all.
isn't that the easier option?
Are you not curious to try it? You better try it and know to your self if doing this is easy on your side or not because some people have lots of connections and they can recommend anything to those people. When those people sign up and try it, that is how you get your bonus. It was truly paying as long as you have signed up on a reputable company.

The rules about referral programs are almost the same but they mainly differ in the amount of bonus that the company is paying. This is why if you check the thread above, you will see that the OP of that thread is only looking for the high paying ones. If we think the bonus amount is too low then there is no need to try them.

Tax regulations throughout the world are certainly different and in my country income tax is annoying, those who do not have large income but work are obliged to report wealth, in my opinion this is not effective and wasted time, income tax is indeed easy to apply for them Those who have large income or government employees, while private workers certainly do not need to report because they do not get facilities from the state.
High or Low income, everyone get's annoyed with it because you are being charged regularly. It's like an added expense to the ones that we already have but indeed that your country is more brutal because even the low income earners are still being asked with it but maybe their tax rates are much smaller than those who earn huge? It's not effective if people don't follow it but if it's mandatory, do you think you can avoid it? And even if you do, you will still be punished badly once you get caught.

Some of those who lived in your country or those who work privately are still lucky because you said they are not being taxed. This is not the case that is happening in other countries. There are even some who are being taxed even if they are only dealing with cryptos can you imagine that?
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 18, 2023, 01:46:04 AM
Feyenoord's performance against Shakhtar was just something else really. Of course I know Shakhtar's situation now and it is still a good thing for them to reach this stage. But the first leg wasn't like this. Feyenoord were just patient to put on a solid show in Netherlands. That 7-1 win was like threatening the other teams but we will see. They have drawn the attention of people to themselves for now. But their performance against Roma in the quarter finals will be more important.

Roma are going to be a way tougher opponent for Feyenoord. Roma came here by eliminating a tough opponent like Real Sociedad. If they really care about the Europa League title Feyenoord have a really difficult job in this stage against them. I already support Roma in this matchup.
Feyenoord's performance against Shakhtar was stunning because no one was expecting win like this even they are good and capable of doing good performance, but this was surely out of the course, but now they are going to face another giant of Europe which is having good record and performance with quality is also at this best hopefully fans will be having good interesting performance from these two teams in this match with most chances now Roma is after winning first Conference league title good to go for the challenge of Europa Cup even it's never been easy in presence of teams like Juventus and Manchester United but as the nature of UEFA competitions we can expect any upset here as well.

Roma is surely now after poor start in Serie A doing good job and spotted at fifth with next round match against Lazio is also challenging, but they can do good and turn the tables for their own under Mourinho who is also master of winning the trophies.
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: March 17, 2023, 11:55:43 PM
The house will always win from the gamblers who lose. The gambler who loses here means that more gamblers lose their money than gamblers who can get big profits. Indeed some gamblers can earn a lot of money from gambling, and many use strategies, but it will also depend on their luck.

If they are lucky, they don't even need to use strategy in placing bets, which happens in some sports betting. But by using a strategy, whatever the name, someone can win the game and take home the money, while many people lose in one or more gambling games, meaning the casino takes home the money.
Well, though luck plays a vital role in every part of life, and in gambling, it is an essential point for someone to be able to win, but when it comes to sports betting, I believe it is more based on skills, research and analysis and not solely on luck, though luck can also have a factor in it especially if there are sudden injuries or cancellations and stuff that affect the results.

Talking about the house, it is not beatable in the long run, though a wise gambler can take a step back as soon as they win something bigger than what they have lost so far, most gamblers can't do that and they eventually give it all away to the house by the end.

Emotional discomfort like anger, pain, doubt, despair, guilt, hatred and many more are the effects if you do not fully accept and understand the risk and the nature of the gambling. If you do not wager a big amount of money, then you will not experience any kind of negative emotions. Being a neutral state is the key for us to become a successful gambler, it is not easy and that is the reason why only few people who are keep making big bucks in gambling.

Losses in gambling is really normal, what's not normal is you keep getting emotional discomfort or what I called negative emotion because of gambling. It is really dangerous if you keep negative thoughts and negative emotions dwells on you because there is a high possibility that you can make a very bad decision. That is the reason why we should always observe our self for us to be aware to our current emotion and state.
Very well, particularly, anger can lead us to make very rash decisions at times, and we don't basically realize it until we reach the final destination where we have nothing left except regret inside of us. Those who are emotionally strong tend to be better gamblers because they can control their anger and don't chase their losses in anger to turn them into wins.

If we do that, we will only make things worse for ourselves and we won't even realize it. So it is always best to learn to control your emotions, especially the negative ones, to save yourself from suffering extreme losses from gambling.
