I'm expecting this restriction to happened to me since casino will surely doesn't allowed anyone consistently winning. I view this punishment as compliment since it's very rare to defeat a casino.

This is the first time i am hearing that anyone is being restricted to get a bonus etc because he is a consistent winner on the site. That's really strange. I know you have hidden the site name but even if you told the name, it would be better for the community to know which site takes such a step.

Can you tell, which games you play mostly and how you win often? Any strategies which can be helpful for us too so that we also become consistent winners and get such an email from the casino  Tongue

New Zealand Women's batsmen are batting with responsibility. The target is not too high. The New Zealand women's team will easily win this match if they can survive at the crease.
Opener Suzie Bates returned to the fold with just 9 runs off 25 balls. But Amelia Kerr is batting very well in today's match. He scored 30 runs off 37 balls unbeaten. The New Zealand women's team collected 54 runs in 11 overs. 156 runs in 34 overs will not be a difficult task unless the team loses wickets very quickly. However, it is very difficult to make predictions about women's cricket matches. The performance of almost all teams in women's cricket is very erratic.

Well, it seems thar New Zealand women team is keen to win this one day match to have a positive end to the series. They need almost 90 more runs in the remaining 18 overs and this is indeed very much possible. The required run rate is only 4.85 and with 7 wickets in hand, there is no way that New Zealand can lose this match.

Well, if you were betting on the match, you would have chosen South Africa women's team as they have won the first two matches. But you will lose the bet today as New Zealand may win. I usually bet on the weak team if the series results have already been declared and the current match results are no longer important.

The moment i read the Subject of this thread "Stake Balance Glitch" , I rushed to open my stake account and found there is nothing wrong with my balance and it is only OP who is facing this issue.

I hope you can show some evidence that what you are saying is credible somehow, and have you contacted their support about this problem you are facing with their casino gambling platform? if you have replied? What did they tell you about the problems you told them anyway?

Yes, the OP should come up with all the proofs including screenshot of the deposits and withdrawals. He can give us the screenshots for the withdrawals (https://stake.com/transactions/withdrawals) and bets (https://stake.com/transactions/bets) and all others that he thinks will prove him right.

Since he is not replying anymore, i guess he lost his balance in gambling and now wants to get it back somehow.

Rain has continuously affected matches since the Asia Cup. Although these are warm-up matches, rain is still spoiling the mood of the World Cup.
Let's hope these rain spells will be over, and we will see a complete 100-over game in the World Cup.
Any of my friends from India please tell us about the weather forecast in India for the next couple of months.

One more thing which annoyed me today is that there is no warm up match scheduled for today. Why ?

Today is Sunday, a holiday in most parts of the world and people would be free today and would be wanting to see some live cricket in action, but the schedule is no match on this Sunday, making it a bit boring day.

Still can't figure out the reason for this  Huh

@noormcs5, You are allowed to make prediction all at once but I just made changes in the rules just to gives extra benefits to the those who active here and like to predict after toss before match started. This is optional and anybody can make all prediction at once so don't worry, I will count your whole warmup matches prediction in one post.

Thank you for this.  Smiley

Extra benefits mean that If any low rank team play with higher rank, I will gives double points chance for predicting low rank team.

This will be interesting as if you give more points on betting on an underdog team, it will still be risky to choose that team as more chances are that the strong team will win. But if we are low on points, we can choose a less favorable team in the hope there is an upset and we get more winning prediction points  Wink

Netherlands will definitely lose this match because they are 84 for 6 wickets down already but this does not mean that everything is good for the Australians. They need to look back on this match and see what were their mistakes and why they lost so many wickets when the opposition was not so strong team.

There is nothing to say anything about the Netherlands batting performance today. Only Colin Ackermann is playing at 33 and the rest of the team was not even able to enter the 2-digit figures. Mitchell Starc bowled three batsmen out and none of them scored even a single run.

The match ended without any result. Netherlands is no way a team that can beat Australia in ODI contest. Netherlands have lost this game if its evaluated by DLS Method. There were only two Netherlands batsmen that were able to make it to double figures i.e. Colin Ackermann and Scott Edwards. From this performance it looks very clear that Netherlands is there to give 2 points to every team.


I am just getting frustrated by these rain-affected matches. Think for a moment that it was not a warm-up but a real match. Australia were 100% winning it and got the two points but the rain interruption let them get only one point. This could have a serious impact on the final top 4 teams to qualify for the finals.

If there are matches with such results in this World Cup, then teams will not only need to perform well on the ground but also need to have a bit of luck with the weather in order to gain match points.
1947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: October 01, 2023, 04:02:23 AM
If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.


This can be the other way round too. For example, you heard that gambling is profitable and you decided to gamble the first time and you lost. You did not lose heart and decided to give more tries until you eventually won.

The difference between your example and mine example is that once anyone wins in gambling, he wants to win more and hence he continues gambling until it becomes a habit. Similarly if anyone loses in gambling, he still continues (with a broken heart), to recover his loses and this also make him a gambling addict in the long run.

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.

"Telling" them isn't going to do anything. They're humans, they have wants, and needs together with responsibilities. Now if no one actually educates them to understand that those come together in a bundle, it's rather inevitable that they're going to do something wrong. There's a world difference between telling them these things vs letting them understand.

The most effective way really is to have a family that can support them and educate them, but not all households are like that so other than that, there's nothing really. A being is shaped by their surroundings early on, and even if we do say they can filter out what they can and shouldn't take, by the time they understand such logic it might've been a tad bit too late.

I understand that guiding them may not have much effect on the addicted gamblers. Instead, those who are violent and aggressive may start teaching you the importance of gambling in a manner that you may feel insulted.

However, this should not mean that we refrain from guiding them only because we fear their reaction or they won't change. Even if by our teaching, 2-5% of gamblers change their habit, it will be good for them and also fulfil the purpose of spreading better practices in our society.

If we do not care for our near and dear ones (the ones involved in excessive gambling), then who may look after them  Undecided

Now Member are allowed to predict two times. First one should be before toss and second before match start.

Do we need to make both predictions in same post or different?

Honestly, I dislike this update, previously it was better for predictors and for you also. Now, predictors are required to stay online before match starts, yea they can predict beforehand, but then they will be at disadvantage against people who stay online and know the lineup.

I suggested OP this (below)

I see people making predictions for today's match before the start of the matches. Sometimes it is not possible to make the prediction before the start of the match due to a busy schedule, so is it possible that we can make predictions of a few or all of the warm up matches at once?
but he did not respond on it yet but instead made changes in the rules which makes it even more harder for the people to remain online before the match start. That practically not possible for me at least and this means that I will be missing many predictions. Also here are people from different time zones. Some may be at jobs while other may be sleeping, so allow us to predict at any time / day before the match and even predict for future matches at once.

Anyway Australian side  scored 166 in lose of 7 wickets which is quite surprising because they have strong agianst Netherlands weak bowling but still they lose huge number of wickets which mean we should not underestimate Netherlands bowling too. Hope Australia will recover and won this starting match

Netherlands will definitely lose this match because they are 84 for 6 wickets down already but this does not mean that everything is good for the Australians. They need to look back on this match and see what were their mistakes and why they lost so many wickets when the opposition was not so strong team.

1951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: September 30, 2023, 04:39:08 PM
Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.
Governments have been concerned regards gambling practice on their territories since a long time, with many of them completely banning the activity from their areas, while others are more concerned about it only now, due to the fast spread internet and cryptocurrency have proportionated to the industry. The worries are caused by religious beliefs, income evasion to foreigner companies and potential damage to the health and financial life of the citizens involved in gambling. There is a consensus nowadays gambling has to be practiced with limits and ethics, and those who don't follow these basic guidelines are completely out of the game.

But then all this misuse of the money and the damage to the country's finances is only limited to the gamblers only? Can't the traders or anyone using the crypto can do money laundering and other illegal movement of the money? I don't think that gambling damages the countries as a whole but yeah when it comes to the individual level, if can ruin your life if you are not a responsible gambler and gambling without any plan to save your capital.

Only the experienced gamblers will save themselves through risk management while the rest of the gamblers will only lose money in the long term.
1952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 30, 2023, 03:00:19 PM
I don't think that Limiting the match to 23 overs will give an advantage to the Netherlands team and Netherlands will be able to beat Australia even in a 23 over match, because Australia is a very strong team compared to Netherlands. If seen in less overs, Australia's batting side is very strong which can beat Netherlands easily by making a big score.However, in cricket sometimes that happens, and a weak team can beat a well-rounded team.

One may win once due to luck, but due to performance your chances of winning are always higher. The match has started and Australia have scored 31 runs for the loss of one wicket in 5.2 overs. Steve Smith and Alex Carey are at the crease.

Well, surprisingly Australia hasn't been able to freely score in the match till now and scored 114 runs in the 16th over with 4 wickets down. This score seems a bit on the low side considering this is a strong Australian side and the opposition is one the weakest teams (at least on the paper). Steven Smith scored 55 runs is the highest among the Australian team.

I really didn't expect to see scores like Josh Inglis (0), Glenn Maxwell (5), Alex Carey (28) runs. If it was any strong opposition i would rekon they would have won against this Australian batting failure today.
1953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ban from a Casino for Nothing Other Than Winning Too Much Money on: September 30, 2023, 02:44:29 PM
The way I perceive it is that if a person who is not cheating or engaging in illegal gambling activities consistently wins, the casino is highly likely to ban that person, just as they did with Dana White.

Are we talking about the physical casino here? I don't know why they would ban anyone who is consistently winning, maybe because a constant win is possible in physical casinos  Huh

I never knew anyone who is able to constantly be on a winning streak in online gambling. Also even if someone wins more often than losing (because of his own luck or whatever reason) the online reputed casino will never ban his account. Rather, anyone who wagers more, the casino will usually give him high ranks and badges in the online gambling sites.

Also, matches sound really dull without crowd.

Today we would see the crowds because yesterday's matches were to happen behind closed doors due to security concerns. There were some religious happening in the city yesterday and the police were busy in those events.

1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths on: September 30, 2023, 01:55:54 PM
I don't agree on this one. To relate gambling to the fact the individual has become aggressive is just a way to minimize his violent nature. He isn't aggressive because he has been gambling or has become addicted to it. Maybe gambling just raised his aggressivity a little more,

We cannot blame anyone who is violent or aggressive because he is involved in gambling. Gambling is not the only source of being rude and in a mode of tension/depression, there may be many other reasons as well. Even there are people who never gamble yet they are violent,  Why?
It can be because of any family issues or maybe he is involved in drugs etc. which can cause this unusual behavior.

Yes, gambling addicts also have the same symptoms and habits but we need to investigate more to get the actual reasons for this anger behavior.
1956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 30, 2023, 12:45:26 PM
It is very likely that this year's ICC World Cup matches will be hampered by rain and many matches are likely to be played in DLS mode. However, due to rain, some top teams are likely to lose points. Sub-Indian countries receive a lot of rain during this season and the cricket venues are always humid due to rain so any conditions can be faced during the matches.

Both matches for today are abandoned due to rain. I guess the other match  (in which Australia is playing) is delayed due to a wet outfield and even if it is started, it will be a T20 I guess.

By the way, since you said that we are likely to see rain in the coming days in India, does it mean that this world will be ruined by rain? Please don't tell me that. We had the Asia Cup recently and it was badly affected by rainy weather. We cannot afford a tournament as big as the World Cup to be disturbed by the rains. 50 Overs matches should remain 50 overs. Using DLS may not justify many results.

Everyone is just saying that this match has no value or that this match has no importance but when the players of any country go on the field to represent their country against the opposition but they don't want them to lose.

Just to be clear, I am not saying that these warm up matches are not important for the teams or the players. Players do need match practices and these practice matches are a blessing for them. I was saying this from the spectator's point of view. You would not be willing to watch all day long, the player practice in the nets or would you?

I had a different perspective in mind when i said that these matches have no value.  I specifically mean "No value" for the viewers like me and you.  Smiley
1958  Economy / Gambling discussion / New ID requirements for Gamblers in Australia on: September 30, 2023, 05:52:16 AM
A few days ago i shared a news where Australia will ban Gambling through credit cards, now it seems that they are moving another step ahead in this and now Australia Introduces New ID Requirements for Online Gamblers

The general purpose for this is to reduce gambling in Australia but they will make excuses that this is done to overcome underage gambling etc.
Quote
The measure would mitigate certain problems such as underage gambling or gambling harm, Responsible Wagering Australia says

Although most casinos ask for KYC, yet minors still gamble on their elders ' IDs (Elder brother or father). I wonder by introducing this ID verification what special Australia is looking to achieve from it?  
1959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take to play casino? on: September 30, 2023, 05:03:14 AM
It must have capital Cry

However, which one should you be more dependent on when it comes to making money from the casino!

Is it really good luck for you?
Which basic technique to use?

Of course, it is the money and the capital that you need to gamble with. This is not an ordinary game where you can play with investing, Here you need to have a portfolio in order to get the most out of it.

The bigger the bankroll means that you can survive a lot longer as compared to a small portfolio, However, having a higher portfolio does not mean that you starting risk with big amounts. The risk and money involved in each game should be moderate no matter how big is your bankroll or portfolio.

Agreed, the results of these matches don't have value but a players get a good sense of the place, the field and the opponent. Not just the player, those who organizers also receive ideas about the pitch. Basically it is a match where a player's performance can be observed or get a surface idea about the whole condition. Some players have no interest in playing that match. Though there is no obligation but it can be said that warm matches are very important for starting any tournament.

We have seen some strange results in yesterday's match where the Bangladesh team beat the more stronger Srilankan team. But still, we should not change our bias for the teams as sometimes i feel the stronger team do not play with full dedication however a team with a lower rank, tries to take every match seriously and this is true for the warm matches too.

Today the host India will take on England. This would be a more viewed match today as compared to the other one between Australia and the Netherlands. I would like to see how the Netherlands perform today as they were the ones who didn't let West Indies make it to the World Cup.
