1941  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 61 year old plays the same numbers since 1991 and wins 18 millions on: August 25, 2021, 10:18:01 PM
On one of those things that we all wished happened to us, a 61 year old man that has been playing the same numbers for 30 years finally won the lottery and won 18.41 million dollars, he explains that each time he placed the bet he thought about changing the numbers but he decided against doing so each time, there is no explanation of where the numbers come from but I suppose they must mean something, otherwise it would be difficult to believe he could keep playing the same numbers over and over again.

Would you be able to do it? Playing the same numbers over and over again like this? Because I know that I will not have the patience to do this during 30 years.
After reading this feat of taking the same number for 30 years is insane, the first thought that went into my mind is that how much money he might have burned taking the lottery for the past 30 years. After reading the article i assume it is $1 but how many he spent for that $18 million jackpot.
What ever it may be the article looks like an advertisement for the lottery Cheesy.

Test is the most unpredictable format of cricket. The situation of the game can turn at any session of a day. But the probability is very low for India to turn this game condition on their side. Batting performance of Indian team was pathetic. After the end of day one England batsman has scored 120 runs without losing any wickets. This game is fully in favour of England now.
The first two session determines the tone for the next few days and India getting all out for double digits is happening too often, ride the highs and then ride the lows as well  Cheesy. England put on a century partnership for the opening wicket and there is no way India could make a comeback in this match. I will be surprised if this match goes to the 5th day.
1943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Anderson Silva vs Tito Ortiz on September 11 on: August 24, 2021, 11:53:46 PM
I am trying to find crypto betting websites with this fight Silva vs Ortiz scheduled for September 11 but without any luck.
All I can find is BET365, WilliamHill and Unibet are offering bets on this event but they don't support Bitcoin or crypto, so if you know crypto alternative with this fight please post it below.
When the event date approaches they will add the betting line but do not expect huge odds on Anderson Silva as he will be the heavy favorite and there is no way Tito Ortiz is going to challenge him in any shape of form to expect an upset. My bet is Anderson Silva will win the fight even if he tie his one hand behind the back  Cheesy.

They all have Anderson Silva as huge favorite to win.
There is a reason for Anderson Silva is a -500 favorite in the fight and Tito Ortiz +350 the heavy underdog. Tito Ortiz was a wrestler who boxed and Anderson Silva was a striker throughout his career and his hands are still great.

Pakistan has the entire day and 90 overs to pick the rest of the 9 West Indies wickets and hopefully there wont be any weather delays because Pakistan needs those 90 overs to create pressure and possibly try to win the match. It all depends upon the West Indian batsman's mentality as they will not survive if their game plan is defense alone as they need to produce some incredible innings to defend the entire day.
In the first Test i thought Pakistan could win the match in the final session but West Indies somehow was able to win by one wicket and this match can go the same way if all the 90 overs are bowled and West Indies are able to chase down the score as they need 280 runs to win at around 3.1 runs per over and they have 9 wickets in hand. Will see whether it will boil down to the last session or end up in a draw.

Only during the WTC the ICC wanted a reserve day but during regular series i doubt that the team will allow a reserve day because the tour date will last longer.
Yes now a days there is not much rest for the players as the schedules are tightly packed and none of the cricket board will approve for a reserve day as they are after money and they do not care if there are results or not, all they want is more series to be played which means more money to be earned.


Fawad Alam is the batsman that is playing well for Pakistan in recent times along with Babar Azam and glad that he is getting the opportunity and showcase his talent at 35 years of age. I thought he would be a regular in the team when he first joined the team and scored a century in debut but that did not happen and late in his career he got the opportunity and now making use of his lost years.

As long as the government has no controls us, non of their business to prohibit someone to create a new coin for no reason unless if it was really a need for them to force stop doing it like it starts an economic problem, a tool for scamming, or anything that could create problems.
The government will not restrict anyone who is talented enough to come up with innovative ideas, but the problem is that here in the cryptocurrency market the developers starts to raise money even without starting the project. You cannot expect that to happen in any other space where you can just start raising money with just your plan and if you like it or not the government will regulate these.

That is why we are not wanting to have the government with us because they sooner to demand control. We need their support as we can't deny that but not a thing that they will let crypto fall into their hands.
For example BTCitcoin is the biggest invention in the world and yet Satoshi never raised a single dollar but you cannot say that for the rest of the coins or projects in the market. The government will not control innovation but they will control the wild west of raising money and the amount of failed projects even after raising millions of dollars and then not returning the fund even after failing to launch anything should not happen.

last may Litecoin recorded a price of more than 400$ and this is enough reason to sell if you really holds since 2016 but of course , that is just a story to tell .
When the price rallied last time that is the day when Charlie Lee booked all of his holding in Litecoin and then went on to announce in social media about how he made a huge profit selling majority of the coins he was holding from the start Cheesy. When you have a creator who announces things like that and if anyone thinks that the price would rally to $1000 when even the creator does not believe will happen, how can we speculate about the price going to the moon in the next few years .

They wrote about this in the news that his IP address was found.
I'm not sure, of course, but I think that such hacks do not happen by accident. It was either someone from the development team who blabbed about the bug or team members took part in it.
It was not an inside job and the IP is not found. He is a white hat hacker and he is not here to exploit and run away with the money like the other black hats and so is the reason he was willing to return the funds and he did not even take the bounty offered.

Here is the QA session with the anonymous hacker who hacked the Poly Network and he explains why he did the hack and why he is returning the funds.









The above is a screen shot taken from the QA session.

Looking at the price of bitcoin at this moment we can say that huge chances for it to come at 50k is so near since we are lacking of $1,100 before bitcoin reach at $50k, so lets hope that we cannot see any huge disturbance since $50k is a great hype creator, if that figures will reach tomorrow or in next couple of days provably the next target to be reach is at $60k again.
There is a good resistance at $50k and i am expecting we will move in a range of $43k to $50k for a while and then we will move further and possibly break the all time high valuation.

I think we need a month or so to breach the present resistance and reach those levels and right now the market moving like we saw in the $30k to $40k range after the correction from the all time high and for over a month we traded in that range and expect the same this time around.

If you receive such mail, make sure you don't follow the link on your wallet or give any permission in order to stay safe from their scam.
If you get any notification from unknown sources that you did not participate, just ignore and block them. There are several scammers that are trying to take advantage of anything that is going on and many will fall for these scams. If someone accidentally connect the wallet then their private key is gone. So always make sure about admin impersonators in Telegram and luring people in the pretext of winning a giveaway.
1951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 22, 2021, 01:40:24 PM
As this may be his last boxing match which i hope, the pacman is still going to be in the Category of the Greatest of All time fighters for me. He has had a great run.
This should be the last fight of Manny Pacquiao as there is nothing to prove and there is no point in fighting at the age of 43 and i thought Yordenis Ugas was the right opponent because i never gave him a chance against Errol Spence Jr even though i wanted Manny to win as a fan and watching him fight as long as i remember.

Now it is time he can focus full time in politics and hopefully he will stand in the upcoming elections.

Maybe in the near future, he is eyeing for professional belts.
This is like his training ground, so he is testing his strengths and weaknesses first.
Anyway, he is just 24 years old, so he has a long way to go in this boxing sports.
He may even turn to real professional boxer. So not underestimating his goals here.
If Jake Paul is making millions even without fighting any potential title contenders and may be he is earning much more than a champion in some of the weight division in boxing and i do not think he will be stepping up his game and challenge anyone that is legitimate.

He is smart enough to build a career around exhibition bouts and with his large social media following and he is able to attract viewers for his fight and it is not a small task by any means. 
1953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 21, 2021, 07:37:08 PM
A draw match will more favor the West Indies because they already won a test and this will give them a series win. Although its bit early to conclude the winner right now. The news is that there is only a drizzle at the moment, and the chances of whole day wash out is very less.
Even West Indies will be looking for a draw because they are leading the series and with the weather helping them it is possible that we could see a draw or there is a possibility that we could see a repeat of the last match if there is no further rain interruption.

Lets hope that there is play and the winner is decided on the basis of the performance and not by the weather.
In the past there is no cricket scheduled during this time of the month because it will be rain and knowing that the ICC should add a reserve day during these times rather than killing the fun altogether.

Are you optimistic about the development of NFT?Have you ever invested in NFT?How much profit did you get?
There are some interesting projects and what i am surprised is there are a lot of fans that are interesting in getting the NFT and they are not even involved in the cryptocurrency space which was a revelation for me. I am not sure whether these new users will be a cryptocurrency user in the future but i am handling a project and there are many who does not understand basic things about the market but they are there to purchase the collection.

Honestly this is so messed up, of all projects in crypto space why privacy coin (Monero) don't get me wrong any privacy coin Dev shouldn't be known as the creator, this is why Nakamoto went into hidden and remain unknown till this day, why can't Monero did the same thing?
No one knows the real reason why Satoshi Nakamoto went into hiding, we can only speculate about the reasons he wanted to be private. The rest of the developers are well known to everyone and there is no point in hiding if you have no criminal records or you are too obsessed to privacy and freedom.

Now this Man is going to face charges for the rest of his life, More and more accusations will come, involving the government and more, he will hardly know peace, BTC is decentralized but Monero? Is another thing entirely
Riccardo Spagni is not going to jail for creating a cryptocurrency that will offer privacy, if that is the case there will be other developers that are known to the general public and there is no legal action against them.

Riccardo Spagni is facing legal actions for generating fake invoices and if he has not done that he can prove that in court and come out a free man.

The fielders were placed at the boundary, because their fastest bowler (Mark Wood) wanted to bowl a few bouncers. Joe Root wanted his revenge against Bumrah (for bowling bouncers against James Anderson), and he never thought that these two would make more than 10-15 runs. Until that point, England had the advantage in the match. But the partnership changed the advantage back to the Indian side. And it's not just Dom Sibley and Rory Burns. All of the England batsmen apart from Joe Root have been in poor form.
I was listening to Ravichandran Ashwin's podcast and he was mentioning about the real issue between James Anderson and Bumrah and he was complaining about bowling the extra pace when he was batting and that started the rivalry and when Bumrah came to bat they wanted to repay that with a barrage of bouncers but that tactics backfired big time and that partnership changed the match entirely  Cheesy.


Pakistan made a swift recovery from loosing 3 wickets in the start and at the end of the day lost Babar Azam and Fawad Alam is injured hurt and they need a couple of good partnership in this innings to get to a good score.

I'm surprised with the PPV price, I don't know that it's this expensive, maybe higher than the Pacquiao vs Spence/Ugas PPV.
  Jake Paul is always talented enough as he always gets what he wanted and he is building up his career carefully. I know Tyron Woodley could be a bigger challenge for him but i am sure Jake Paul is doing everything with a calculation in mind and he will easily attract more crowd than his previous fights and he will be the smartest businessman in boxing history.

First off, all these comments are from people or are they bots?  I notice even on twitter when it comes to politics, you see these accounts post comments where it sounds like a bot... then you see other users who post the same exact thing.

I assume the scam here is you then contact that persons whatsapp or phone or telegram, then they ask you for money... then you get scammed?
Having a political affiliation and shilling for them is not new and you cannot coin scammers and political shills the same. The shills usually does is to boost their political identity and they will use any tactics but it is all done to boost their political identity, while the scammers does is to scam off others money and these bots are aiming to target someone easy and lure them into their scheme.
The best option is to ignore them just like thousands of junk mails you get in your inbox.

I was amazed by this news of 14 years old and his 9 years sister making a living through ethereum mining which generates them $32k monthly income, this is so incredible and highly commended, the kids use their old gaming computer to start up this amazing business and there are already expanding. I guess our kids are already taking advantage of the gains of blockchain and are already doing amazing stuff through the blockchain.
Looks like a good click bait. They started mining Ethereum this march with their gaming computer and they were able to mine Ethereum and made enough money to set up a huge farm in a short period of time. It is too good to be true, they knew that home gaming computer could mine Ethereum but no one other than them had no idea  Cheesy Tongue.

I am not sure they need to change their bowling  line up, but there should be definite change in their batting line up, the openers failed to deliver and they should be replaced by someone else and their top order needs a good shuffle. If not we will yet again see another domination from India in the next match.
There is a huge cry in the media and former England players about the way England went about the game when Shami and Bumrah was in the crease, there were no slip fielders, all the fielders were in the boundary. The commentators and former players were confused with the field placing and the captain Joe Root should be blamed because that partnership changed the momentum of the match.

I am also expecting a major change in their batting line up, i will be surprised if they continue with Dom Sibley and Rory Burns as openers as the entire media is roasting them for not performing.
