If you view everything through a black hole, you will obviously notice everything in a negative manner. The reality is that there is more negativity in this world when compared to positivity which is a constant if you ask me.

Some people get swept away by darkness while some others don't. In my opinion, every year is the same in some ways and different in some other ways.

Don't just focus on the negatives op. Focus on the positive stuff too.

Sky is on full throttle and is helping India reach a total close to 230 or something which would definitely secure a win for them unless Arshdeep or some other Indian bowler give away too many free runs through wides/no-balls.

Also, I am seriously disappointed with Hooda who keeps underperforming despite getting chance after chance in the T-20 format.

That dude is crazy lucky. He won the contest here and was declared as one of the winners in the Sinbad contest after a cheater was kicked from the winners list. I believe my prediction was the next closest prediction. It's like all the stars aligned perfectly in his favour.

Good idea. I tend to post my predictions on the final day too.

I checked out 'The Network State by Balaji Srinivasan' which seemed quite interesting as you mentioned. Didn't expect him to talk about topics like the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war along with crypto related stuff.

Personally, I would never depend on crypto sites to safeguard my assets which is why I tend to store my funds(Big amounts) in reliable wallets like Trezor, Exodus etc.

Enabling 2FA in regularly visited crypto sites also helps boost security.

You can thank ICC for these shitty rules which the umpires are simply following to the best of their abilities. This match could have easily produced a result in either team's favor, but draw messed it all up.

Tired of all these draws in test cricket which is one of the primary reasons as to why my interest in them keeps decreasing over time.

Livecasino made it extremely clear when they initially launched that they are related to Bitcasino and Sportsbet in some ways which is why this is old news.

I enjoy gambling in both sites primarily because of zero deposit and withdrawal fees though I prefer Bitcasino over Livecasino primarily because of their promotions. Sportsbet is another great sports betting site in their family.

Personally, I am not a fan of this stablecoin BTC behavior and I hope it starts swinging upwards regularly again soon.

There are so many silly people out there who actually believe that fully regulated crypto gambling sites is a good thing. They have no idea what world governments are capable of and follow them blindly.

Also, I checked out the book that you mentioned and I am intrigued. Will definitely read it properly soon.

Didn't watch the match, but I am not really surprised by these issues related to Arshdeep. I never liked his bowling even though many support him primarily because he buckles under pressure way too often.

Malik is the new Thakur these days since he takes wickets consistently despite maintaining a poor economy rate.

A big problem that I have noticed in crypto gambling sites these days is the KYC aspect which they enforce at any time despite promoting anonymous gambling. I would like to see more 100% no-KYC crypto gambling sites.

I would like to see a game like Pai Gow Poker where the chances of winning are slightly higher when compared to traditional poker along with a low minimum bet in order to attract gamblers of every level.

Sites like telegram and twitter are my go-to spots for news related to crypto gambling news apart from Bitcointalk.

250 grand? Lol. That is seriously insane and hilarious and won't happen. These celebrities just make these wild predictions for the sake of attention since no one can predict the price of BTC accurately at any point of time.

Wow. That is an amazing win. Great to see such big wins now and then in this thread.

I disagree. Weekly and monthly bonuses matter a lot to many gamblers since they provide some sort of target to achieve which helps both the sites and the gamblers in a mutually beneficial manner.

Tweaking them optimally is tough to achieve. This is primarily why op created this thread in the first place.

Once Umran improves his line and length, he could possibly become a deadly force against any team out there.

Celebrating when Pant almost died? Truly inhuman pieces of crap. Felt sad for Samson too since he truly deserves a lot of chances, but these opportunities keep passing him due to injuries etc. Also, who is Jitesh Sharma?

BTC behaving like a stablecoin didn't really help me since I used to earn good amounts thanks to its wild swings just like many other investors out there. Decrease in its volatility basically cut my profit margin.

I don't really see BTC breaking out in an upwards manner unless something really good happens to help move it along.

I suggest editing the title of this thread to 'Bitcoin cannot be banned or stopped by governments' because that's the truth. Firstly, all governments won't stand together to take down BTC and the entire cryptocurrency market for various reasons.

Secondly, even if they somehow miraculously take a stand together, their efforts would be pointless since BTC isn't 100% centralised. They would end up wasting their own time and money.

Also, the Indian government decided to regulate the cryptocurrency market recently since they realised that they cannot ban them completely.

India were lucky for sure, but stating that they deserved to lose is pure nonsense. 160 : Small total? I've seen teams posting way lower totals and successfully defending them in the past for your information.

Future superstar? I doubt that. He's a decent bowler at best. Malik has the potential to become one of the future superstars for India IMO.

Thanks for updating us regarding this news. These prediction contests have been dropping at random times these days which is why many gamblers end up forgetting about them and regretting later on.

Happened to me too sometime back which is why it's always great to see some forum members sharing this stuff with other members now and then.

Coming to this new contest, I truly hope BTC will start moving upwards rapidly in this new year and stop behaving like a stablecoin.

I suggest providing weekly bonuses to moderately active gamblers and monthly bonuses to highly active gamblers in order to incentivise them to keep coming back. Their wagering amounts can decide how active they were.

Apart from these bonuses, random rains in the chatbox to legit gamblers helps retain gamblers too.

Pakistan bowling has gone into the gutter these days in the test format. Their newbies aren't performing well at all and it's pretty evident that they require fast bowlers like Shaheen, Amir etc and spinners like Ajmal, Kaneria etc.

Am expecting a New Zealand win since Azam's run out was a big blow while Imam is holding down the fort for now.

Am not really interested in such crazy lotteries since I have way more fun betting on sports where skill helps to a degree and casino games like Baccarat which have a way, way lower house edge in comparison.

Getting rich overnight is not exactly something that I crave, but would obviously love it if it actually happens to me sometime in the future.

Casino games actually help you win big amounts just as much as sports betting op despite the house edge factor. There are so many stories of people who won big money through casino games and sports betting out there.

Personally, I tend to bet on sports more often when compared to playing casino games primarily because I enjoy it more and the skill factor helps.
