Sports betting and poker come under the casino too. Be specific! Day trading is also a 50-50 win loss game. You can have some stocks that you buy sell and make profit because you know its trends but it is tough to find such because you need to monitor them everyday and read charts, lot of works for those who are trying to get rich quick and so they dont go for it but attempt dice games where they eventually lose and thus have the mindset that day trading is also gambling, which is not completely correct.

Because you lost money on intraday does not mean that TA has no part in it. The two are completely different statements. You can make or lose money but gambling on EV- will be a loss without any doubt. Gambling on EV+ games have a chance of winning by skills.

Well its not just Pakistan problem. its same everywhere but prevalent in Indian subcontinent when it comes to cricket.

Politicians comes from the society so we can't pin blame on politicians only. Sometimes society need some soul searching too.

I actually like this format as I think it gives all teams even the lower ranked teams a chance at winning against the top teams as anything can happen in 10 overs so I really like the idea. Yes I agree that it will be tough on the bowlers but that was the same when T20 started, the good bowlers will learn to adapt to the game just like they did for T20 and in time I'm sure it will even out.

I want to give order for this boot as soon I am going to moon

I would love to see two dozen teams in the T20 World Cup. But then, the ICC would never agree. On paper, they have 16 teams. But 8 of these teams are restricted to the first phase, and only 4 out of the 8 will advance to the proper tournament.

I am not a big fan of T10 format. It is too short for me. I watched the 2019 T10 league on TV and didn't liked it that much. It has nothing for the bowlers. Even T20 is heavily in favor of the batsmen, but T10 is just like a bowler's gas chamber. Why can't we have T20 in the Olympics?

Sorry for another topic about merit guys! But I wanted to tell this to everyone, especially to newbies.

A high number of merits earned by an individual is a sign that he is a quality poster but it doesn't mean every less earned member is not knowledgeable enough. Earning merits depends on a lot of factors like which section we would like to post/discuss and which local board we belong to. So some members can earn more if their board and section have high active members and merit sources.

Actually what I wanted to tell is, if you are not making enough merits even after you are giving your maximum effort doesn't mean that you are not deserved to be on bitcointalk at someday you will get caught by the merits sources until that keep posting and learn new things which you are being yourself.

Thank you all for suggesting me some very cool ways to earn cryptocurrency. Yeah I also heard about the Brave browser and currently I am using it from the last week or so. But I am not sure why I did not receive any ads. And quite sadly my balance still remains at 0.00 BAT. Anyhow, let's see what I can earn from it.

Hehe, education is the most important part!

No one imagined at that time that Pakistan will win the world cup. The posts couple of initial matches but then they started playing exceptionally well from quater finals onwards.

The team had the best ballers and batsmen at that time. Waqar younis and wasim akram were ripping apart every batsmen.

As a player, Waqar Younis had nothing but bad memories of the World Cup. ... Waqar was considered Pakistan's main weapon in the 1992 World Cup in Australia, but a week before the event started he had to return home in tears without playing a match due to injury.

I would agree with you about this "boring match" argument. Some of the most boring matches that I have watched involved two test playing nations. On the other hand, some of the most exciting matches involved one associate nation playing against one of the test playing nations. The defeat of West Indies during the 1996 World Cup to Kenya is still fresh in my mind. I was a small kid back then, and I was amazed by the Kenyan performance.

That said, Olympics doesn't allow too many automatic qualification slots. At the most, they may allow direct entry for 4 teams. That means that the remaining test nations need to play qualifiers and I don't think that the ICC will agree to this.

Because even T-20 format seems long to me when i look at from Olympic's perspective.

Normally one T-20 world cup takes around 28ish days to finish with 12-16 teams. now imagine you are trying to fit this event in 20 days event which is Olympics. to make matter worse let's say minimum 20 cricket teams participating in Olympics, seems very tight schedule to me, in the end players might want to suicide for sure.

There's nothing to be played nowadays, because of the rules of lockdown in each country. right now what we need to do is get some new habits with our kids. we need to spend our precious time with them. we had been wasting our time through the years and never have some really precious moments with them. we need to have some memorable activities with them.

I play mixed sports betting but my grip is in volleyball  and TT

Guys I was reading an article from Sachin on his birthday. He got some valid points. Cricket is not going to be the same after this pandemic crisis.
- Cricketers will not use their spit on the ball to keep the shine
- They will not celebrate the wicket taking with hug and other close body method.
- It will be hard for the cricketers to come back in their full shape because their body will deny the hard work. They will get used to this resting period. They will suffer from lack of fitness.

There were many more points in there, I lost the article sadly.

Post COVID-19 how do you see the game changing? There is a lot of debate on the use of saliva to maintain the ball. Your thoughts?

The method of shining the ball is going to change now. I don’t know what it will be as a lot of it would have to do with hygiene. Celebrations also (will change); one can’t do high-fives or hug each other. Hopefully the game will start after we overcome this challenge but I feel that element will stay somewhere in the back of the mind. It will eventually boil down to the hygiene levels we maintain. So, to maintain certain level of hygiene not just during this phase but post this phase is also going to be critical for everyone.

I have one friend who used to play dice in stake.com, he started with a very small fund ($100), out of that money, he managed to have a balance of 24 ETH at some point but unlucky guy lost everything in one day. Once again, with the bonus he got from stake, he managed to cross 30 ETH within less than a month but yesterday, he lost everything once again.
How come he lost everything one day? Do most of the gamblers lose money in such way?

It is not only ICC but I think everyone who has been under lockdown wants this thing to end now. It has been more than 30 days now and I am stuck within my house. Life has come to a stand still. The need of this time is a. Ure to this deadly disease.
