You believe "HODLing" to be the easiest way out? I mean, certainly, less stress and less daily decision-making. However, remember that even a long-term strategy requires efforts. The safety of your wallet, the regulatory landscape, and technological advancements such as forks all require your attention. Long-term may be less demanding, but it is by no means "set it and forget it".

Long term bitcoin holding may be less demanding because people want instant profits and they are happy to get 100$ 200$ profits on their swing or day to day trade but they miss the investment profits can be in thousands of dollars. Think that someone may buy 1 bitcoin now at 26,000$ and sell it at 30,000$ in few days / weeks time getting 4000$ profit.

But another person who bought the bitcoin at same price with an investment mindset and he may sell it in 2 years' time when bitcoin may be near 100,000$. So he will get a profit of over 50,000$ +.  That is the major difference between trading and holding bitcoin. Investment is always more profitable.

And if women don't want to experience harassment in physical casinos, they can gamble in online casinos so that no one can harass them and gamble in secret.

Is harassment still a thing on physical casino because there’s no such thing on my country physical. In fact, the number of woman gambler here is increasing since most the male player usually come with their wife and partner to gamble at the same time. I sometimes gamble too with my wife but she stay mostly on the bar and resto while me is the one playing.

Physical casino has the best lounge and hotel here so it’s common to see many woman playing. I wonder what country still doesn’t consider gender equality on a casino.

Usually, it is considered that mostly drunk people will visit the physical casino or people go to the casino to have fun and the same goes for the girls, so sometimes an unpleasant event may occur.

However, I really like the environment that you have described about your country casino where the women are treated with respect and you given lounges facilities in the casino.

If you can tell, in which country do we get such a nice physical casino environment?

From the broadcaster's point of view If everything goes alright then we are looking at India vs Pakistan fianls. Bongs and Lankans need to up their game and produce some fine upsets for a meltdown.

Only if the rains allow the three matches between India and Pakistan. Heavy rains in Colombo will surely ruin this tournament when we know that all the matches are going to be played in Srilanka.

They are thinking of shifting the tournament to Dambulla or Pallekele and the chairman of the Pakistan cricket board was of the point of view that the tournament should be in UAE, to which ACC said it was too hot there, and now it is too rainy here  Cheesy

The best thing about FTX (one of the reasons that i was using that exchange) was that it allowed free withdrawal of Bitcoins and all other cryptocurrencies. This was really helpful as sometimes you have to send small amounts of bitcoins and you do not need to pay any fees if you use the FTX exchange.

After that FTX Scam, I really missed that feature as I do not know any other exchange that will allow free withdrawals. If anyone knows the exchange where the withdrawal is free or is lowest, please share.

After 50 overs, Bangladesh has reached a total of 334/5.
They've set a big target against Afghanistan. In a crucial must-win match for Bangladesh, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz really came through. Mehidy played better today, and I've always believed he deserved a higher batting position. Maybe he should consistently open the innings for the team. Anyway, Let's see how things roll out.

This is a must win game for Bangladesh and they really played well in this match. The target of 335 runs won't be easy for the Afghanistan team to chase. The Bangladesh team started slowly, kept wickets in hand and eventually accelerated at the depth of the innings. Century by two of their players Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Najmul Hossain Shanto really helped the Bangladesh team today.

Afghanistan lost an early wicket for their in form batsmen and captain Rahmanullah Gurbaz. They are now 22 for 1 and they need to play sensibly in order to chase this target.

Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?

Never enjoyed betting on any games that is termed cruel. You van search the internet and you find the cruelty of horse racing. Both the jockey and the horse are at great risk of getting injured while racing. There have been incidents reported in the media where these young colt have died due to racing. In such situation how can anyone bet on such a game. It is far better to bet on sports like football and others. It's is nothing but my choice that I avoid gambling in such games.

It depends as there are many people who love horse racing and they even more love the cruelty of this sport.
Also in the modern day, we don't see any such bad incidents but of course, many incidents are not brought up in the public.

I would say that if you do not watch any sports whether it is horse racing or any other, better avoid betting on it. Betting should be done where you know fully about the sport and hence you can use your knowledge to place more competitive bets.

In the match against Nepal, Pakistan have set a target of 342/6 runs. When Nepal starts their innings it'll be with big pressure which is the thing that made Nepal loss all its wickets for 104 runs. India had batted first and the scoring got to move on the right track when players stand wicket. Much expected match ending without result is really bad. At the critical situation Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya did an awesome job, if not Pakistan's chance of chasing the target could've got easier.
As India started playing and when they hold the wickets and set the run rate so I was thinking that India can easily go to near 350 runs. But after sometime they didn't able to stand on the pitch and have a lot of pressure from Pakistan and they were just able to reach 266 runs. I was thinking that India will playe the 50 overs but Pakistan has a really good bowling line. As you can see only 3 bowlers got all wickets. Like Haris Rauf and Naseem shah got 3 3 wickets and Shaheen Shah Afridi got 4 wickets.
But Unfortunately rain was interfering and match was abandoned.
Yes, every year we miss out on many, many important matches due to rain interruptions. We all expected that the third match of the group stage of this year's Asia Cup between India and Pakistan would be a high voltage match. But that high voltage match was swept away by the rain in a flash, in an instant. Pakistan would have easily won this match against India had the rain not interfered with it. As much as the Pakistan team has performed brilliantly in bowling, there are more surprises in their batting. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we could not enjoy the spectacle

No doubt the match had a sad ending and it was anyone game from thereon had we played the 2nd innings of this match. Both teams could have won that match and hence we cannot say the the rain was lucky for one team or the other.

Coming to the bowling, Shaheen Afridi did display a marvellous and extraordinary bowling spell. I was reading on social media that no bowler in the world had dismissed both Virat Kholi and Rohit in the same innings before, Shaheen did it.

but receiving >40 outputs to the same address, some of only a few thousand sats, is a very inefficient way to use bitcoin.

Another query that it is better to use small inputs in different addresses of the wallet as compare to  receiving the inputs on the same wallet address ?

Does it make any different or it is essentially the same thing no matter you receive btc on the single wallet address or on different addresses of the same wallet  Huh
2149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: September 02, 2023, 05:57:53 PM
I don't understand horse racing betting, I don't like it even though I only briefly see news about horse racing but never delve into it.

In its own country, horse racing is not very popular, any sport involving animals, maybe this bet is more popular in Europe and America, while what I know is that Asia is not so interested in it.
One sport that is generally popular is football, as a fan I also place bets and often play on this sport.

Talking about betting funds it varies but I don't have more than 2mBtc, only .5mBtc which I often allocate for soccer betting.

What i know that Horse racing is popular in the Arab countries in Asia too but i never showed interest in this sport, maybe because it is not being played excessively like other sports such a football etc.

Also, I haven't seen much betting on them online, or maybe I missed this part since i am not interested in this sport. Another thing is that I never saw any horse racing tournament broadcast on the tv, which could be the reason for me being ignorant of this sport.
2150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 02, 2023, 05:32:38 PM
Yeah, it was poor captaincy. Pakistan could have finished the game early by taking at least one more wicket. Indian batters were in real pressure but introducing spin did all the trick.
No I don't think it's a poor captaincy because there is no other option for him to use because they can maximum use any fast bowler for just 10 overs and if they use most of fast bowler at early stage then probility of smashing spinners in last overs will be very hight as because opponent batter will didn't feel frightened or under pressure to take a charge against them to boost this total score,

Well, how about if the pacers had kept on bowling from the 15th over onwards, they would have managed to take one or two more wickets and it would have been like 150 all out for the Indian team. When you have taken early wickets, you should be aggressive and not let the other team settle down and come back in this game. Believe me, India was going to make 300+ runs but again the fast bowling attack of Pakistan prevented it.

Anyway, its a never ending debate now as the match is drawn so each one of us can argue that we are right because we do not have a winner in this match  Smiley
2151  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake phishing on: September 02, 2023, 05:14:43 PM
BTC so been playing on stake for 3 years.
Last Sunday my balance went from 8 k to 10k I got phishing mail and I clicked thinking it was legit bonus as I was nearing level up.


The balance in your wallet is inconsequential to think of making such excuse for that happening to you now. Scammers will send attractive message for you to get you to compromise which you did. I think this is where the issue on your account started, you have compromised your account by clicking on a phishing mail sent to you and that directed your account towards the hackers domain. You are knowledgeable that it was a phishing site but because of the bonus you got tempted to open it instead of verifying from the casino and or report it.

Well I think what you need to do is to reach out to stake and ensure your account is safe going forward. Is a good thing you secured your account further with 2FA.

This shows that we are too greedy for the bonuses and promotions that we do not try to pay attention on where we are clicking and check the links and all such stuff. Since we are too much careless with ourselves which gives scammers an opportunity to scam us and get easy money. Had he checked the link twice, this would not have happened.

I do not know how stake will go about it as this is also not their mistake if someone clicks on the phishing link and becomes the victim of the scammers.
2152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 02, 2023, 03:51:46 PM
That's where the game drifted a bit from Pakistan otherwise maximum total would've been 200 at best. Still. Having said that 266 is not a big total so there is a fine chance for Pakistan, unless they choke.

The rain was stopped but now it has started to drizzle again. Pakistan will have to chase way less. I was reading on ESPN commentary where they mentioned the below expected targets.

Quote
The target will be 254 in 45 overs, 239 if 40 overs, 203 in 30 overs and 155 in 20 overs.

If this match is reduced to 20 overs and becomes a T20 chase for Pakistan, this may again help them.  
155 runs in 20 overs is not a big deal
2153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: September 02, 2023, 03:22:38 PM
even though drugs and gambling are 2 things that can be addictive, the impact of gambling addiction is actually not as bad as what is caused by drugs. gambling addiction will only cause gamblers to become unable to control their emotions and be more impulsive or cause harm to them or their families, whereas drugs have a much greater impact. and because of this, the punishment for gambling addiction is not equated with drug addiction because the impact is not that bad. however, if it is carried out in a country that prohibits gambling, of course the punishment will be more severe, but not imprisoned, only a fine will be given.
I think the impact is pretty much similar.

Either a drug addict or gambling addict, they will try to get money in order to make them satisfied including stealing other people money or taking a loan. In order to cure drug addict or gambling addict, they need to get rehabilitation and takes time.

So, everyone must not become an addict and aware about that.

Addiction to everything is bad, especially for the things that can cause you to lose your money like gambling addiction or things that can make your mind stop working and damage to health like excess of alcohol and drugs.

I think the gambler himself won't be in a position to get cured himself because in most cases he will not admit that he is being affected by the addiction. So it becomes a moral responsibility of his near and dear ones (those who know that he is addicted) to help him get out of this addiction.
2154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 02, 2023, 02:25:23 PM
The first inning turned out to be Afridi+Naseem+Harris vs Kishan + Pandaya. A quality contest between them

Pakistani spin and fielding were atrocious tho. It helped India drastically in the middle order and at one point Indians were eyeing 290-300 but Pace trio made a fine comeback with the ball. Again Naseem was a bit unlucky, he bowled beautifully. 

I would like to highlight it was Pakistan Captain Babar Azam, who helped India reach this total of 266 runs. He did a poor captaincy that he bowled his spin bowlers from 15 to 35 over. How can you do that when your pace bowlers are doing the job so well for you? We saw this when the fast bowlers were bought back again, they took wickets again and put the break on the scoring but I think the damage was already done.

India will be quite satisfied to see this score but I feel they could have scored 20-30 more runs, making the game impossible for Pakistan to chase.

@pawanjain I’m not surprised anymore because people have won many prices with a single number ticket too and that’s why I’m not surprised even if it’s the top price that can be won. Furthermore this only proves one thing which I have often said and will keep on repeating i.e. keep on trying your luck even with few tickets because if it’s your lucky week then you’ll suddenly win a big price.

Yes, we have seen number of times at freebitco, that someone who have very less tickets won stood first in the prize. This is pure luck and it doesn't matter how many tickets you have.

Even if you have a few tickets, you can still win the lottery and stand out among others who have bought a lot tickets. People buy many tickets because it increase your chances and probability of winning the lottery but it never grantees that you will win. At the end of the day, it is the luck which matters the most.

Pakistan Vs India 3rd Match of Asia Cup

The 3rd match of Asia Cup 2023 has started between Pakistan and India. India has won the toss and decided to bat first. Pakistan has the same playing 11 as in the previous match against Nepal. Pakistan has the best bowling line Including Naseem shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rouf which restricted India to a minimum total. I think in this pitch 250 plus is challenging for Pakistan. Because India has also the best bowlers Jasprit Bumrah but No shami I couldn't understand the logic behind not keeping him playing 11 but India good team hope it is a good and very interesting competition Match has started now.

The fall of three wickets in the power play has put India under pressure for the time being. Because mainly the batsmen have collected few runs and left the field especially Virat Kohli and two other batsmen they did not perform well. If this is how the wickets of the Indian team continue to fall, they will definitely lose to Pakistan. Today's ground is famous for its bowling pieces as I can see the ball swinging a lot. The Pakistan team is fielding hard and the ball is not able to cross the boundary. Pakistan team shaheen afridi has done a good bowling performance as he lost two wickets. Taking two wickets for 15 runs in 5 overs I think is the biggest gift for the Pakistan team.


I think that the Pakistan pace bowlers got helped by the rain break, making the bowl to swing more and creating problems for the Indian team. We have two interceptions in the match and this is hurting India and they are struggling at 50 odds runs for 3 wickets.

Also, this is too early to say which team will win this match as we never know the rain delays may give one team an advantage and the other team a disadvantage especially when the team is chasing.
2157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 01, 2023, 04:51:52 PM
The South African team today also lost wickets early on and the team is under pressure. Having lost such wickets in the first match, the team could not collect any runs till the last but today the fall of two wickets in a row has left the South African team completely helpless. Because the batsmen have to go out of the field due to their wrong decisions while hitting the ball by making quick decisions. The main purpose of playing cricket is to protect the wicket but the South African team could not bear the pressure of bowling in the power play itself. Australia team will be able to use their experience to win today as I think South Africa will not be able to reach the target of more runs due to the bowling pressure.

Well, you never know if these 150 runs made by the South African women's team may be enough for them to win this match. I am saying this because the Pakistan women's team is playing at a very slow rate and now they have lost 2 wickets also, due to which the advantage from them is lost.

Pakistan still needs 90+ runs in around the last 11 overs which is not going to be an easy task. If south African girls can take a few more wickets, the match will be in the hands of SA.
2158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 01, 2023, 02:23:50 PM
India and Pakistan will play their first Asia Cup match. As we know Pakistan is on the top no. 1 position in ICC ranking so Pakistan has the chances to win this match. So let's see who will win. I hope Pakistan will win the match and will level up itself in the points table.
Lol. By that logic, India should have won a ton of cups by now. ICC rankings don't really matter much in high-stakes international tournaments like this cup, World Cup etc.

Both India and Pakistan have equal chances of winning(50:50). Hope it turns out to be a great encounter.


I do not think that both teams are equal or have equal chances of winning. Check the odds and you will find that bookies are favouring India to win this match and the difference in odds between the two teams is too much.



If we see the odds alone, it would suggest that India will win this one sided match. However, it will depend on tomorrow who will take the pressure off this big match and turn out to be a better team.
2159  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: September 01, 2023, 02:08:22 PM
This won't work because once you get addicted, your families will question your stressful looks and where your money goes after you get them. Sometimes people who hide their gambling habits fall into debt because they don't want to ask for money from their parents siblings or friends and in the end, they will just know the truth because a person like this will lose every chance he has to hide it.

A person can hide his stressfulness by making excuses that he feels stressed at work or at study but the main problem is the money. When you start gambling, you will use your money in gambling and if you lose the majority of the money, then your family will ask you questions as to where are you spending that money.

Also, if you are online gambling and using a shared computer, someone may find that you are accessing the gambling sites from the history of that computer or maybe see you live when you are gambling on your system.
2160  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: September 01, 2023, 01:43:13 PM
Aside from considering the amount being loosed on each bet we made while gambling, there are gamblers who don't mind about the rate of amount being lost on gambling as long as they get their maximum satisfaction while gambling, which means not everyone gambles.

There may be very few gamblers to whom the loss does not mean much to them. They are the ones who are usually rich gamblers and losing money does not matter much to them.

However, the majority of the gamblers are middle class and cannot afford to lose and when they lose they will feel regret and sorrow. I haven't seen a gambler in my life who loses money in gambling and his mood and emotions remain the same as it was before gambling. I wish i become one of those to whom losing money would not matter.  Undecided
