I think it's because more profits. I got 200 Solana from airdrop. After 6 months SOL price was near 200$ somehow. So basically I got 40000$ easily. but I sold it when it's around 80-85$. As my experience alts are good for make short term profits. But it's too risky.
Not everyone were lucky as you to enjoy big profit out of altcoins. It is true that altcoins give high profit and it is possible to see good list of altcoins that have provided better ROI than bitcoin. Same as the profitability the risk is high that in no time the investment can down to zero. Another thing we need to be lucky to receive airdrop as well as choose the right altcoin while investing, because not every altcoin gives such profit as the one mentioned above.

India was on a good position when Jemimah Rodrigues was in the crease as she was in great form and striking the ball and was unfortunately out while trying for a upper cut above the keeper and Harmanpreet Kaur was playing really well and unfortunately was run out while dragging the bat, it was stuck on the ground and now India needs 38 runs in 24 balls as they lost another wicket, Australia is fighting back and hopefully India can challenge them.

A very close contest and Australia women team once again make it to the final of Women T20 WC. India Women started their innings by losing three quick wickets, and that's the main reason they were 5 runs short of victory. When Harmanpreet Kaur was batting, it was evident that India would win this match, but unfortunately, she was run out in 15 overs. But full marks to Indian team for showing quality cricket.
It wasn't the day of India Women. We can say many events as the reason for the loss. India Women reached 150 runs earlier than Australia Women team. India Women reached 150 runs at 17.3 overs whereas Australia Women reached the same at 18.5 overs. Last two overs were really expensive that Australia Women team scored 14 and 18 runs whereas India scored 4 and 10 runs. This itself enough that India had missed it at several places.
223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: February 23, 2023, 10:34:58 PM
Soccer in the USA has grown a lot, I do not deny it, the MLS is one of the leagues that are famous, but when we refer to Mexico things can change, I have never been to that beautiful country, but some friends tell me that since children, there is a lot of activity with a soccer ball, children play in the streets, in the parks, I cannot deny that Mexicans also have baseball as a powerful sport, but when it comes to soccer, it identifies them even more, so it can be That is one of the reasons why they have allowed them to have those matches, because they are very fanatical, and if we compare it with US soccer, I think the Mexicans are superior in technique.

Latin America as a whole is crazy about football, and it is not just Mexico. In case of Mexico, they are located close to the United States and therefore they were included in the combined bid to host FIFA 2026. The situation is entirely different in the United States and Canada. In the US, baseball (MLB), American football (NFL), basketball (NBA) and ice-hockey (NHL) are far more popular when compared to soccer. The same can be said in Canada as well, where NHL is the most popular league. But during the recent years, MLS has gained popularity (especially among the new immigrants).


We know the Latin countries are crazy about football in their country but this time the world cup will be hosted in America and all the teams hosting the tournament will be from America. In my opinion, Mexico is more popular with football fans than the United States and Canada. As you have mentioned, football is not the first favorite sport in north America, so I hope the Mexican people and Mexican fans are more interested in football than their northern counterparts.
Agreed, and based on the Olympics football winning data it is United States that have won more on the Women's Football. Canada too holds few bronze medals. In mens football it is Mexico that is dominant among the three and in the last Tokyo Olympic, Mexico have managed to win the bronze medal. This shows there is good teams and in particular Mexico have the good fab base for football. USA and Canada will spend more and the same could train the teams for a better position.

We can have an example of today's ICC T20 semifinals between the teams India Women and Australia Women. Based on the AI prediction and majority of the sports betting channels predicted it to be a win for Australia Women and the same happened. It all happened out of some small mistake that favoured Australia. Almost 99% of the bets were on Australia Women and if that small mistake hadn't happened this could've been a win for India Women.

When it comes to sports betting or any of the casino games, AI is just a tool that can be used with the hope of giving positive results same as what some people follow with the superstitious beliefs. In reality it doesn't have anything specific to give precise results as the prediction of AI is completely upon data gathering.

Indian fans will regret about those two overs, and Australian fans will consider those overs as a turning point of the match. I thought India will manage to win the match when 20 runs were needed in the last two overs. Anyway, England women's team is quite favourite in the second semi final. Now the betting odds is 1.22× for England and 4× for South Africa win. The final should be between Australia and England women's team.
The untimely and unfortunate runout of Harmanpreet Kaur where her bat was stuck when she tried to drag the bat to the crease and she was batting well changed the match upside down. Ellyse Perry was incredible in the field, saving many boundaries during crucial moments and taking some good catches and Australia was in great form as usual and they will be the champions with the way they are playing.
The run out have made the day for Australia. If not, today the history could've been rewritten with India Women reaching the Final. This is completely unlucky, because it is the match that needs to be won and India is on its path. Something happened and the luck didn't favour team India Women. If this had been a direct hit, the cricket fans couldn't have felt much. She was in great form scoring 52 runs of 34 balls. She was close and the bat getting stuck worries everyone who wants India Women to win the match.

Chelsea have made plans of relieving more English contingent in the summer balance the budget. Same time there are discussions that Chelsea could add Neymar.

My choice of gambling is through smartphone, because my gambling happens all of the sudden. I may end up losing or making little wins. I never allocate time to gamble, that's the reason why I prefer using the smartphone. There are people who spend time for gambling, particularly during the night time. If that's my scenario surely my choice will be Desktop.

Whether it is through smartphone or any other device, luck needs to favour us to enjoy the wager. If not, at some point we'll feel bad and start thinking we shouldn't have gambled now. Fun with gambling happens when you sit with friends and do it for fun.

Tbh, house edge is main factor why we gamblers lose in the long term. The main issue is to beat house edge, if you can all good, otherwise, think one of the methods listed on the thread lol
Agreed, to be honest in today's world these tricks won't work. To get rich out of casino without gambling is simply impossible. Maybe with these incidents we can know how people made use of casinos in the past for gambling and other purpose. Nowadays security system is quite high as it have turned to be the place of VIPs.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 23, 2023, 08:51:20 PM
Shit!!

At one point I really thought that we had a nice chance. We were in a great position but that freak run out of Harman really changed the match.

Gotta feel for her as it was an easy run but her bat stuck at the last moment, she's not going to forget this run out for a long time. Well played team India you gave a tough fight to the Champion Aussie team. Still, a lot to learn in terms of fielding and fitness level and i hope WPL will make some inroads in these areas.
Feeling bad after the result. Expected much looking at the start of the India Women innings. Australia too could've learnt India Women isn't an easy thing to play. India should've won the match. The 16th and the 19th over is the turn of the match. 16th over had only one wicket and 19th over have got just 4 runs. If those overs have got few more runs, India could've moved to the finals. I was unable to accept the loss.
Though India did not win this match, I am happy with the Indian team. They almost dominated the entire match. Their batting was also good enough but luck didn't favor. The two run outs essentially changed the game. But there was enough fear among the Australians. They will never think that India as weak. Defeat by just 5 runs against a target of 173 runs was a big blow to the Indian fans. The performance of the Indian women's team has seen a drastic change. The Indian women's team can certainly create a better position in the future.
It is true that the Indian women's batting performance in today's match has been outstanding since the beginning. But the reason for their loss is that they did not maintain that form towards the end. To say how many runs the Australia women team managed to score towards the last or how well they performed in the last, the Indian women team did the contrary. Anyway congratulation to Australian women team for confirming final.
Once again it's like Australia Women team winning the cup and adds up for the 6th time. Australia Women team is really strong and they deserve it. India Women hadn't developed the confidence to play against Australia Women. Maybe over the next World Cup they'll keep them much more prepared. Anyhow this is a big opportunity to reach the finals. Something missed at the marginal region makes people have it in mind for a long time.

The 11th match of Pakistan Super League has started today.  Multan Sultan vs Karachi Kings these two teams have come to the field to play. Multan Sultan is a very strong team. Almost everyone knows that. Karachi Kings won the toss and decided to bowl.  Multan Sultans entered the field to bat. Scored 147 runs in 16.3 overs. Multan Sultans have lost 1 wicket so far.  I think Multan Sultans will easily give Karachi Kings a target of 180 runs in today's match.
Finally Multan Sultans have made 196 runs losing just two wickets. Shan Masood gave a good start and Rizwan have batted well scoring 110* runs in 64 balls. Karachi Kings too have good batting line-up and we can expect some fight back. Karachi Kings have won just one match against the Lahore Qalandars in the total four matches played.

Akash Chopra trying to cash the Prasad & Rahul controversy on Youtube. Got served what he deserved! Grin When questioned by Venkatesh Prasad on Twitter? He asked him to have a debate on his Youtube channel. To which Prasad replied:



Then later on he got served his Test stats from one of the bowling legends of Indian cricket.



I never liked Akash Chopra because of his cringe commentary and weird style. I also never knew he played and now he made a fool of himself by questioning Venkatesh Prasad and trying to create a false narrative about him on Youtube. The fool got what he deserved Grin


This is turning very ugly, i would blame BCCI for this. BCCI in general don't like criticism and hardly hold any public debate on virtually any topic related to cricket. They even penalize pundits or commentators when they bring up any valid points. That's why commentators turn into cheerleaders and also we get mediocre selectors.

KL Rahul's exclusion from the team should be handled by the selection committee after Bangladesh series but they didn't do anything and now the knives are out from both sides.

Mind you this ugly interaction happened at the time when India are 2-0 up in the series. You can imagine what could've happened if the scoreline was reversed.


The conversation have turned ugly. To the tweet made by Venkatesh Prasad we were able to see worst comments. I went through the tweet and in an comment it was mentioned Venkatesh Prasad too entered the team through recommendation and for that reason he isn't able to make comment on Rahul. In another comment, it is said someone might've been recommended by Venkatesh Prasad and the selection committee might not taken into consideration.

BCCI need to get into this issue and come up with a conclusion to avoid such conversation that openup more incidents that have taken place in the past which is not good for the cricket.

Scotland vs Nepal match ended in drama. The target was too low. A target of 213 runs was not big on such a pitch. However, the performance of Nepal's top-order batsmen was very poor. Nepal lost 7 wickets for just 114 runs. Even then I thought there was no chance of Nepal winning this match. Even then we saw responsible batting from Rohit Paudel. He was unbeaten on 95 runs. Due to such responsible batting, Nepal was able to win this match. The Nepal team has some excellent batsmen. Among them are Rohit Paudel, Kushal Malla and Dipendra.
You are saying it as Drama but I was thinking that it was an amazing match. Means Nepal has only 3 wickets left and there was 100 runs which they have the target to achieve their win. At that time I was also thinking that the Nepal has lost match but Rohit Paudel captain of the Nepal team played amazing and made 95 runs and not out. The match really amazing. I really enjoyed the match.
None thought this match to be a win for Nepal and the same had made people mention it a drama. In recent days it is common to see the bottom order of the teams playing well and in a much responsible manner than the openers who are the key players of the team. These players in the lower order need to be given opportunity to play at the top order and can understand their ability. Rohit Paudel is quite young and I'm sure he'll be a big player for Nepal.

Real Madrid came back to beat Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield, Liverpool leading 2-0 after just 14 minutes, but Real Madrid scored five goals at Anfield to hold a big advantage after the first leg.
Liverpool defended too loosely, allowing Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior to score twice. Thus, Liverpool must score at least 3 goals at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid had won in a spectacular way, and it was like a lucky day for Real Madrid. The second goal from Vinicius Junior was really unexpected and Liverpool goalkeeper Allisson shouldn't have done it kicking the ball back. The lucky part, Vinicius Junior too didn't think of it. He just ran on his way and the shot hit his legs and turned to be a goal.

So, what's your favorite sportsbook and why?
My favorite sportsbook is Stake.com.
And the reason is not because I am wearing their signature, but because, like the first option said, stake is one of the most reputable casino platform that have been around for quite some time, they have all the licenses required to operate as a gambling casino, even in the USA where citizens are prohibited from gambling on foreign casinos.
Stake have a lot of great Partnerships, which further proves their credibility and further add to their already good reputation.
They offer a wide range of sports to bet on.
I personally do not care much about interface, but stake got one of the best when it come to interface and user experience.
Competitive odds, bonuses and promotions are things I don't care very much about as well, but stake still make all this available to their users.
Stake is simply one of the best casinos I've come across so far.
Same is my opinion. Apart from Stake I've used sportsbet, which is good to use. These days we can't term this is best and that isn't, because different users have different expectations and go with different platforms. In my experience I've been used to Stake mostly for my casino games and the same makes me use it for sportsbook and I haven't encountered any issues using it.

Good win for Napoli, but they had the opportunity in the game to have increased their goal advantage. In the first half of the game they had a good ball hit the bar, they missed a penalty and had a goal canceled for offside. Good result at the end that they have a good advantage going before they play them again. Liverpool on the other hand is a finished team, they have no champions league victory hope with the way they conceded goals today, and they have no hope still of qualifying for the champions league again next season, they need time to rebuild.

Even before this game, Napoli was the obvious favorite to get into the next round, and now I don’t even know what odds the bookmakers should draw for someone to bet on Frankfurt. By the way, Liverpool is in a similar situation, but they have a systemic crisis and they really need a restructuring. In the case of Napoli and Frankfurt, we simply have two teams of a different class.
Based on the bookmaker odds, Napoli is the favourite before the game start. The same continued as Napoli kept its dominance through its ball possession. Osimhen making the first goal for Napoli at the first half made the win almost confirmed. During the second half the play was the same as the first half, only thing the goal came earlier.

Man these Australian and English Women's teams are strong as hell.

They are just bossing around and belting every single team in this tournament. Fair to say they both will play in the Finals unless India wins against the Aussies in the semis.
It is a hard task for India Women. Based on the head to head data, Australia Women have won 22 matches and India Women have won 7 matches. Australia Women have won 12 times batting first and 10 times batting second. India Women team have won 2 times batting first and 5 times batting second. Everything based on the performance between the two shows the highest winning possibility is with Australia Women. If something miraculous happens, India Women team could win the semifinals.
237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 21, 2023, 12:48:42 PM
LOL.. I never expected that Nepal would be able to win. When I checked the scores, Nepal was struggling at 138/8, with another 75 runs needed for a win. The 20-year old Rohit Paudel played an excellent innings, by scoring 95 not-out from 101 balls, and Karan KC provided him with excellent support for the 9th wicket partnership. And apart from Mark Watt (and to some extent Brandon McMullen), the other Scottish bowlers failed to impress. Sandeep Lamichhane performed well in this match as well, bagging 4/45.

Scotland has now completed their campaign in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. They have 50 points from 36 matches and are miles ahead of any of the other teams. Nepal got some valuable points during this series, but they are at 6th position with just 26 points. If they can overtake the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates, then they can get to the 4th position.
Really an unexpected performance from the young batsman Rohit Paudel and the bottom order player Karan. I watched the match when Rohit Paudel was at 65 runs and Karan at 10 runs. I thought this is going to be an easy win for Scotland. Awesome batting from Rohit Paudel, and he missed the century by a small margin. The country will celebrate him for what he had done.

If Nepal continue to play likewise, surely it can reach higher ranks. The team needs to have some confident play, because everytime someone at the bottom can't help. Today the required runrate is less, so they were able to play without pressure. If not the pressure to score will end the match easily.
238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 21, 2023, 10:04:42 AM
Scotland team made 212 runs and now the Nepal team has the target of 213 runs and Nepal team's three wickets are down now. And in fifteen overs Nepal has made only  58 runs. Nepal has less chances to win the match. Scotland performance is good and in this match the winning rate is in the favor of Scotland. But at this time it is difficult to predict with accuracy that who will win.
Nepal needs 88 runs from 21 overs. Unfortunately, they lost seven wickets already and are unlikely to win the match. The only hope is Rohit Paudel at this moment. He is still on the crease and scored 50 runs from 54 balls. If another side's batter can stick in the crease, You may turn the match for Nepal. They have enough overs. The required run rate is 4.15, which is not high for the ODI match. Scottish bowler Mark Watt still has three overs to bowl. Nepal will try to play him carefully as he is bowled well today.

Nepal batsmen are not playing well today. Kushal Malla scored 17 runs and Dipendra Sigh Airee returned to the fold with just 1 run. The team had high expectations from these two players. But they cannot play well. But Rohit Paudel is playing very well. He is unbeaten with 55 runs. If Rohit Paudel and one more batsman would have been able to play well, Nepal would have had a chance to win. But no other batsman in the team can play well. Nepal lost 8 wickets to collect 139 runs. Scotland is going to win this match.
There is no consistency in the performance of Nepal players. The team that chased 274 runs in its previous meet wasn't able to reach the target of 212 runs shows how bad is the performance of Nepal team. Nepal should've made better plans and followed it, because the score is low and the required run rate is 4.24 runs. Anyhow it is almost lost situation for Nepal. Mark Watt who performed well against the Namibia team have done the same now taking 3 wickets.

The thread is being created on altcoins discussion. Upon the same I believe OP is trying to say buy dogecoin. It can be preferred for long term investment. The market being manipulative by influencers, holding it for long term is the wise choice. Dogecoin being predicted to get its use case on Twitter. Maybe such things might be under development and unexpected launch could boost the price.

Dogecoin is one among the best to invest among the low price altcoins. Also for users who have the ability to hold, it assure with good return. This is just my belief and not a suggestion on investment.

Rather than renting, buying seems to be the better choice. With the same premium what we pay as rent it is possible to pay the premium for the property we've bought. There might be little difference in the rent and the buying premium, taking it as challenge and running for it will make us own a property in specific time period than renting the property for some time period and after some time period if we calculate what we've spend on rents stands high without anything owned by us.
