This again shows that Pakistan is weak in their batting side not only in ODI and T20 format but also in Test format.  And here the dependence on Babar Azam is also noticeable. But it is true that  Shakil was also good in todays series. But currently England need only 55 run to win and I think it will be pretty  for them cause they have more 8 wicket in hands.
Pakistan are almost out of the WTC race thanks to this loss and they are performing like crap in the test format, but this doesn't imply that their performance is bad in the ODI and T-20 formats too.

They reached the final in the recent T-20 World Cup and they defeated teams like Australia, West Indies etc in recent ODI tournaments which proves my point.

Argentina would have won this final more easily if Otamendi did not play careless in a situation which caused a first goal for Mbappe. Before that mistake, Otamendi already did another mistake but it did not cause any goal for France. Not only Otamendi but some other Argentinian players likely were too much confident and turned to be more carelessly since 60th to 80th minutes.
Same could be said about France too. They gave away a penalty right at the beginning which boosted the confidence of Argentina and that helped dominate the game until the 80th minute after which Mbappe screwed their happiness.

Honestly, France could have ended up winning this 3-4 in ET right around the final minute, but Martinez saved them in stunning fashion.

Satoshi's dream was impractical to some extent to be honest. Expecting a payment method to be 100% decentralised is wishful thinking. However, BTC is still decentralised to a large extent as long as you follow proper procedures.

BTC and other popular cryptocurrencies will always be way more decentralised for obvious reasons when compared to other financial currencies.

This is one of the best finals impressive fight between 2 best players Messi as the best player and Mbappe as the top scorer both are PSG players
Agreed. The boring penalty ending sucked, but the rest of the match was fire. Mbappe vs Messi was amazing to watch while the Argentina goalkeeper should also be praised thanks to his amazing saves throughout the tournament.

The two players became iconic in the final match, Mbappe had a successful hat trick even though they lost on penalties, but Mbappe with 8 goals and won the Golden Shoe, Messi the best player for the 2022 World Cup all the scores were extraordinary.
I disagree. Mbappe was actually the best player of this tournament which is why he won the golden boot while Messi was the best playmaker thanks to his epic passes and assists.

Messi scored almost all of his goals in this tournament through penalties which implies that luck favoured him a lot.

WTC table update....

-India carefully gained some points, although they still need to win 4 more matches to qualify and they should be extremely careful about penalty points (overrate).
-The Proteas are in a downtrend but they are still favorite candidates for the finals.
-SriLankans are the underdogs and they are touring Newzealand for their last away series. They desperately need to win 2-0 if they want to keep their chances alive.
-Pakistan well they F%cked up big time.

I feel that Australia are pretty much in the finals at this point while the remaining teams are fighting for the 2nd position. It's tough to tell which team will grab that spot, but I am expecting India to occupy it.

Teams like NZ, ENG, PAK etc disappointed many of their fans and seriously need to make some big changes in order to improve in this format.
2346  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: December 18, 2022, 03:25:46 PM
I bet on France, and so far they have shown that it wasn't a bad move. They weren't that high on odds, but even before the world cup started they were the favourites they are at finals now and look like they could be better than Argentina as well for tomorrow. Glad that I picked that up, in a world cup where every game was a big shocker, France was the only one that kept it steady and had a good run if you ask me, they didn't have any shocking results nor even penalties and such, just straight up won their games.
Wrong. France suffered an upset too when they lost to Tunisia in the group stages which screwed so many punters including me.

i bet on argentina because they have been without a world cup title for a long time so i am sure they will not let france win back to back world cup argentina have big ambitions for that so i think argentina will surprise everyone in the final later but the match i think more than 2 goals, good luck with your bet  Wink
This is completely silly reasoning. Many teams haven't touched the cup even once so far in the history of the tournament. Both teams are evenly matched and anything could happen at the end of the day.

It's final time. The race for the top spot in the World Cup predictor is pretty tight at the moment. Am expecting France to retain the cup against Argentina while Mbappe/Giroud/Messi might end up winning the Golden boot.

I think you need to have at least 1 odd boost or otherwise this can never be profitable. Besides that, the odd boost you get is most of the times very limited in the amount you can bet (10 or 20$), so I think the end, the profit you would make doing arbitrage betting is pretty small.
It's actually possible to find sure bets across different sportsbooks even without odds boosts where bet sizes are way higher, but the chances of getting restricted later on also increase basically.

Web3 has dapps. so possibly the bet, winnings and paying is processed there.  While it is easier to understand how the process go in a platform running in web 3.0 since web 3.0 can run in centralized system so the processing is done by the centralized system where the owner has access.
Thanks for the explanation. Didn't know that Web3 and Web 3.0 were different. Basically, Web3 is always decentralised while Web 3.0 can be centralised or decentralised.

Whatever the case, gamblers focus more on other factors such as house edge, promotions, whether KYC is truly required or not etc which makes sense since very few of them care about these new technologies.

Their interest in them would rise sharply if they received some big incentives through them when compared to the competition.

After day 4, India has the upper hand. There is little chance for Bangladesh, but at least they could reach day 5 of the game. Mehidy and Shakib will continue to fight until 241 more runs are scored. For both teams tomorrow, I think the first session is crucial. It is important for India to get Shakib's wicket.
Shakib is way past his prime which is why I'm not expecting any crazy heroics from him. Expecting him and the remaining 3 players who are basically bowlers to score 241 runs is crazy if you think about it.

This game is over because India has already won. What's left to see is by how big a margin they end up winning against them.

Whales can influence the BTC price whenever they want since it's a financial currency just like USD, EUR etc, but they can never fully control it. BTC creators weren't dumb enough to allow something like that to happen.

BTC has, will and shall always be decentralised to some extent despite all the rising regulations against it over time op.

I am not saying that parlay is the best way to wager or anything like that, of course it is not and you could do individual or just two game betting and that's fine, even two bets within single game too which is what I am doing for the finals as well, multiple bets on a single game but I also love parlay where I wager on 8-9 teams as well, haven't won it for weeks now, but I still keep doing because one win would equal all the losses and would give me a huge return and that will make it all worth it.
Parlays are a shit ton of fun in my opinion which is why I place such bets regularly though I always wager small amounts due to obvious reasons.

Spending small amounts for parlays in order to win big is totally worth it due to the fun factor and the small possibility of winning something huge from them. This is why I feel that big parlay bets are basically mini-lotteries.

I never really cared about all they hype behind Web 3.0 which is why my interest in crypto gambling sites adopting this stuff never really rose though I did check them out now and then, but didn't find any major differences.

What matters more to me when investing in these sites is how reliable they are, no KYC, low house edge, great promotions etc.
2354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 16, 2022, 05:31:08 PM
In the Test match between Bangladesh and India, we have seen that India has presented a very good game in both bowling and batting. We know that India is much stronger than the players of Bangladesh.  However, Bangladesh impressed the audience by showing extraordinary performance in some matches.
They did impress many people primarily thanks to Miraz in the ODI matches. On the other hand, they are playing like crap in the ongoing test series while India is decimating them in order to stay in the hunt for the second spot in the WTC table.

Also, I'm glad to see proper results instead of rain screwing both teams which was such a major annoyance in recent times.
2355  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | VIP | Instant withdrawals! on: December 16, 2022, 04:11:50 PM
For example , you are betting on a football match, you can bet on Team A on one betting site, Bet on Team B in another betting site and also bet on a draw in third sport book.

I don't know how can you be in overall profit as you will only win one bet out of these three bets (in above example) and you cannot gain profit through arbitrage betting in most of the cases.
You can earn guaranteed profits actually by betting on all three outcomes through 2-3 sportsbooks using arbitrage calculators and splitting money correctly. However, this sort of stuff could easily get you restricted which is why it's risky.

Most punters who earned money through arbitrage betting employed successful matched betting strategies and earned sizeable profits which they were allowed to withdraw.

Their bet sizes would get restricted, but they still end up earning huge profits overall.

For Messi or Mbappé golden boots, I expect Messi to be favored to win because it's most likely his last World Cup and selecting him seems to be more likely but if Mpappé scores and France wins, Mbappé will be awarded most likely.
This is exactly the reason why I would bet on Mbappe to win the golden boot instead of Messi since the pressure is way lower in comparison due to which he is having the time of his life in this World Cup.

If they end with total goals, Messi would win the Golden Boot. Because I believe Messi has more probability to contribute assists in the final match than Mbappe. Based on their playing style, it's not easy to see Mbappe contribute assists for his team-mates.
Messi scored most of his goals through penalties while Mbappe scored almost all of his goals in a tactical manner which is why I would bet on him instead.

LOL.. everyone except Kohli and Siraj. That is the point. Now we are comparing Kohli's batting skills with those from Siraj. Pathetic downslide for a cricketer who held legendary status just 2-3 years ago. And the joke is that Kohli still refuses to acknowledge that he is out of form. When the BCCI officials pointed out that he need to take a break and concentrate on domestic matches, he got angry and ridiculed them. But with every passing month, Kohli is becoming a burden to the Indian team and holding places away from hardworking younger players.
Burden? Wrong. This is the same man who rescued the Indian team on multiple occasions during the recent T-20 World Cup. He scored a century alongside Kishan even more recently in their recent ODI against Bangladesh.

Despite his drop in form, his batting average is still great in tests while it's spectacular in ODIs and T-20s. Facts!

Actually that's not a problem since we can test by using any amount and people use to do this every time they play on new environment or even they want to try something that might work for them. People didn't see any problem doing this because they don't lose any huge money by doing this and for sure they enjoy doing that because placing small bets doesn't give any pressure because feeling to lose some huge amount of money is not there.
I agree that such gamblers usually wager small amounts in those experiments, but they make mistakes by wagering big amounts through certain strategies that they come up with thanks to those experiments which is my point.

But yes thanks to @Bitcasino team for organizing monthly contest for these price prediction and allowing two entries as well and there are more participants in them engaging more members in them.So are you ready to try your luck for this one @LFC_Bitcoin? Grin
If @LFC_Bitcoin ends up winning this one too, he would have scored a hattrick win in these prediction contests.

Don’t do this because this is an arbitrage trading and some casino doesn’t allow it since you are taking advantage on the odds of the sportsbook. Many syndicate is doing this and earning huge amount of money but they are being monitored already after they make the profit. You might be accused that you are involved on this shady activities and your account might be banned permanently.

Casino preferred to bet only on one side instead of doing arbitrage bet on the two sides of the game. I’m not sure if Duelbits allows it but some casino don’t condone arbitrage.
Lol. Arbitrage betting isn't shady or suspicious. It's completely legal, but books obviously don't like them since they are sure bets which would hurt their business. They don't outright ban such punters, but restrict their bet sizes usually.

Also, arbitrage betting usually involves multiple sportsbooks since it's almost impossible to hedge pre-match bets in any singular sportsbook.

Bangladesh keep performing like crap in the test format despite improving in the other formats these days. Their over-dependence on Rahim and Das in tests is clearly their biggest weakpoint which they haven't managed to rectify.

India have pretty much won this match at this point and I am pretty confident that they will whitewash them in the test series at the rate at which they're going.
