....and since luck cannot be controlled sooner or later they will suffer a catastrophic loss.

It is not necessary, if a person knows how to distinguish when it is a profit due to analysis and calculation, and when it is due to pure luck. In the second case, you need to stop and not push it harder, so as not to try this luck and not take unnecessary risks. Not everyone who is lucky enough to make money in this way loses in the end. If a person knows how to manage capital, then he will be able to keep his profits.
A person will clearly understand the reason for the profit, whether it had happened out of luck or as a result of the analysis made. In all means users need to have patience handling the situations. Based on what the OP have achieved is great, because with $100 as capital making another $80 as profit in two days time is really big. One should not expect the consistency in the earning, because the volatility range varies and the same could cause difference in the earning. When it comes to trading, one should not allow the capital to go down in value.

The use of gambling as a means of earning extra income is not a good idea, It is statistically unlikely that you will win at every casino game you play so it's crazy to believe that gambling can be your source of income, casino games are mathematically impossible to predict, there is no tools you can use for analysis either. ..

The earlier you understand this the better, casino games relies heavily on chances, the odds of getting a winning combination are regulated, this is what's limiting the amounts of money a player can win at a slot game.

Be careful what you seek for when gambling, find other source of income that relies on skills development, they are more easier to handle based on how skillful you are, so take this advice with a grain of salt, every skills in gambling is superstition because they are not real.
Game of Chance is depending completely upon the luck. Here few gets lucky whereas the majority losses. Most of the time the success stories gets circulated and the loosers find it hard to share. This means people easily dream of making themselves rich through gambling. Everyone should understand well about gambling. We should not fall for the success stories.

The risks of gambling is high, at the beginning it looks like easy achievable. As time passes we'll understand the reality of gambling. When we've understood well about the after effects and the chance of winning what we've lost would be big. Considering all these factors it is good to prioritise skill development that could help with the betterment of life and help in making money through our skills than risking money to win money.

England was off to an excellent start, but then New Zealand came back to the game strongly with 4 quick wickets. England were 64/1, but now they are struggling at 125/4. And we know how the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad behaves. Anything less than 300 is not going to be enough for the team that is batting first. Joe Root and Jos Buttler are at the crease right now, and they are trying to rebuild the innings. If they can get Poms to 200 by the 35th over without losing any further wickets, then there is a good chance that England may end up with a good total.

England team were able to make 282 runs after being put into bat by the New Zealand team. This can be a competitive score if England can take quick wickets when they come out to bowl. However, on the other hand, New Zealand will also fancy their chances to win this match as the score is not so big that it can’t be chased. Just need a good startup partnership and the match will be under their control.

Joe Root really played well and score 77 runs in 86 balls.  Jos Buttler scored 43 runs in 42 balls. Almost every batsmen from England stayed on the crease and made some runs for their team.

Matt henry took three wickets while Mitchell Santner and Green Philips took two wickets each from England team. Overall, I think both teams played well.
England have scored good runs in 50 overs. Now it is the bowling of England to defend, but how far things gonna work need to be watched. In the warm-up match New Zealand is strong to chase any target and whether this is going to be a winning target or not. Each and every player of England have contributed to the score. It is Joe Root who supported the team with his 77 runs and developing partnerships. Till the last order the team had got batters and expectations weren't fulfilled, yet good runs to defend.

Matt Henry bowled well taking wickets of Malan, Butler and Sam Curran. Every bowler had good bowling economy, Rachin Ravindra's bowling was well used at the start by Brook and it made his economy quite high. Performance didn't go well for Neesham as he hadn't got wickets and the economy was high as 8 rpo.

Women are good managers than men. This is true and it is possible to see this happening in most people's life. The best of it can be understood by the way Women spend and men spend. There is priority to spend on different things, and Women understand it well and spends accordingly. With men this is different and they keep on spending in a random manner. This isn't the case with everyone, but most of the Women used to have this mentality.

It is possible to see Women in our family having some savings that helps us in difficult situations. I've read more such stories during the covid as it had helped them in survival. Not on this, but more real incidents happening around us state women is better than men being economical.
245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: October 04, 2023, 10:38:46 PM
As this is the active World Cup thread, I'll post it here
If many here are already thinking it's bad that the World Cup will be played in 3 countries, take a look at this news that just came out:

The 2030 World Cup will be played in 3 continents and 6 countries

A brief summary: Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (South America) will play the first matches of each team in their own country, to celebrate the centenary of the World Cup
After that, the World Cup will be played "normally" in 3 countries: Portugal, Spain and Morocco (Europe and Africa).

It was FIFA's way of holding the World Cup where it prefers, while still paying tribute to the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup

So, what do you think? A good way for FIFA to please everyone?

It is not going to please those who had intentions to attend to that World Cup and had a limited budget for airplane tickets and reservations.
Honestly, I am not sure it is a good idea to host such a huge event, it would create some inconvenients, like the difference of time for both the players and the fans who want to watch the matches.

It is a clear example of globalization, if you asked me, how technology, communications and infrastructure is getting us closer to each other as time passes. That is a good or bad thing, depending whom you ask.



But there is something I didn't really understand. Wasn't Saudi Arabia full into the race for the World Cup 2030? I thought that was one of the main reasons why they signed Ronaldo and all those players for so much money. As far as I understood, wasn't it their initiative to convince the committee and get public support to become the hosts?

Regarding the number of countries and continents involved, I think it isn't a bad thing. Imagine how many people only get to see one World Cup in their home country once in a lifetime, if at all. This solution caters to more people getting the opportunity to become witnesses of a major sports event in their home country.
Maybe Saudi Arabia have got the plans to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup and as a preparation they're much focused in making the Saudi Arabia Pro League popular and have signed popular players. The reality is different, it is the FIFA to decide the host. 2022 FIFA hosted by West Asia country Qatar and once again the 2030 FIFA World Cup by another West Asia Country Saudi Arabia won't be considered that easily.

The plan for the matches to be hosted in three continents and 6 countries is simply different. However the opportunity provided for the small nations to watch FIFA matches on their home country is something great for them and welcoming move from FIFA.

Bangladesh vs Malaysia in the fourth quarter-final match of the Asian Games men's cricket competition. This match is crucial for both the teams to qualify for the semi-finals. It is expected that the two teams have entered the field with full preparation in the fight to occupy the place of the semi-final. In today's fourth quarter final match, Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to bat first. This match has already started and Bangladesh team's disappointing batting is being noticed at the beginning of the game. Bangladesh team lost 2 wickets by collecting 1 run before the end of 2 overs of the game.
In today's Quarter Final match of Bangladesh vs Malaysia team, Bangladesh team won by 2 runs. Bangladesh team gave a target of 116 runs in 20 overs. The run that Bangladesh team had given as a target was not the right run for them to win.  Malaysia could have won this match if the performance of the batsmen of Malaysia team was very good.
A thriller match Bangladesh won by 2 runs. Malaysia team fight well but unable to chase down the small target of 116 runs failed and only manage to score 114 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. Bangladesh didn't perform well they set a low target of 116 runs in loss of 5 wickets in 20 over. Malaysia bowling well especially Pavandeep Singh picked up 2 important wicktes by just giving 12 runs in 4 overs and Anwar Rahman picked 1 wickets and restricted Bangladesh under 120. While chasing down this small target Malaysia falied just 2 runs short. Afif Hossain bowling well picked 3 wickets by giving 11 runs in 4 overs and helped his team to win this match.
It was a real thriller match for the Bangladesh team and for the followers of Bangladesh team. Finally a surprise win to reach the semifinals of the Asian Games cricket. All the winning credit goes to Afif Hossain who had the best bowling figures of the match, 4-11-3 with an economy of 2.75 rpo. Particularly Afif Hossain's final over was the match turner. Malaysia need just 5 runs out of the last over, and Virandeep Singh the leading scorer for Malaysia on the strike. First three balls were dot and in the fourth ball took the wicket of Virandeep Singh. Two singles in the next two balls and it was a 2 runs win for Bangladesh. Even in batting Afif Hossain had contributed with 23 runs facing 14 balls.

I think don't lie to them.
When they ask what it is, just give them an idea of ​​how harmful it is, especially to children.
Just tell the truth so they will understand when they grow up.

Because for me if you lie to them and they find out the truth they might learn it the wrong way and try it.
In today's time we can't avoid children knowing this, because there are many influencers out there promoting it even though they know many children are watching it. It's widespread now in our country that influencers promote any adds about gambling
These days kids easily understand what is being promoted through advertisements. These gambling platforms make advertisements showing simple games that are commonly played. Anyone would easily fall for it, and think of giving it a try.

Gambling is business for the owners. This makes them promote it through all possible means and enjoy the revenue. In the advertisement they just give disclaimer which is according to the broadcasting rules. When they're briefed and the real probability is understood people surely take gambling in the right way than falling for it.

Surely letting Messi play in the next World Cup will not be good for Argentine and their team because even if we consider Messi can have a good performance in when he is a 39 year old palyer, but still, Argentine should give more space to the younger players and let them play to see better performance from them in the next years.

In the end, it will depend on whether Messi wants to play or not. I am 80% sure that he will pull out of the tournament and may retire from active football much before 2026. Right now he has a deal with one of the MLS clubs and I am not sure whether he will extend that deal or not. In case he doesn't retire by then, the Argentine coach will be in a lot of dilemma. If he prefers some of the younger player ahead of Messi, and if that player doesn't perform well, then he will be in a lot of trouble. We all know what happened to Fernando Santos after Qatar 2022.
Thats for sure, the decision makers will be the Legendary players. As he had won the Qatar World Cup, he could prefer to retire from active football. However we can't be sure of it, because the players mentality used to different. Argentina have won three World Cups and this is the first time Messi is part of the team. Whenever a team with the popular one fails the responsibility will be forced upon the coach, and the winning credits used to be taken by the players. This is completely wrong and the coaches need to be obeyed and given respect. What Fernando Santos faced could've been a big issue, but it got off.

Every gambler used to loss control at some point. This can be due to greed, hope of recovering what have been lost earlier and for different other reasons. People easily gets tempted and holding funds beyond the limit should be avoided. One should move the amount with which one have decided to gamble in the particular platform. This could help people stop wagering when the allocated fund gets vanished. Some platforms even have the vault feature where funds can be kept securely and used on need.

As said by one of the user, using multibet is a way. We can try our luck with small amounts for bigger payout. Not everyone wins, but it makes gambling more enjoyable than just getting addicted and losing big money.
250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 03, 2023, 07:20:11 PM
True, IMO gambling should be pursued purely for entertainment and not as a financial investment because it's highly risky, and you can lose a lot of amount of money very quickly. It's better to see it as a way to have fun and to set strict budget limits.

I'm pretty sure you'll need the money you might spend on gambling someday so you have to think twice before gambling.
The risk of gambling should be well understood before we get into it. With most of the gamblers, the beginning days used to be fun and entertaining. As days pass the focus would be much on making money as they have begun to loss. From the very beginning unlike the win/loss one should have his limits set and need to stick to it. Very few does things in the right way and follow it strictly while the majority used to be changing minds depending on the won/loss.

Thinking twice before gambling could keep you at the right place than just spending and feeling bad for the loss. Everything beyond limits ruin life, and gambling isn't an exception. Only the luckiest succeed whereas the rest suffers.

In the end, Pakistan lost the match by 14 runs.  Pakistan lost but I am satisfied with their performance in this match. The team has proved that they have the ability to bat against big target s. But pakistan's bowlers are not able to do well.  Pakistan is not doing well even with such a strong pace attack . Pakistan's pace attack is ineffective against strong teams.  Also I will say pakistan's two openers are still out of form imam ul haque and fakhar zaman are out of form.  If these two players return to form,  pakistan's batting line-up will be stronger. The overall condition of Pakistan is still unstable. It is difficult to predict whether this team will do well in the World Cup.
Pakistan is really good with batting than the bowling order. Till the tail end we were able to see players scoring runs. Ifthikhar Ahmed along with Babar Azam turned the match, and it looked like both the teams were playing the match in a free manner. Australia team had used 8 bowlers and it looked like they were finding the right ones for the upcoming league matches. For Pakistan Babar Azam retired out and walked to the pavilion, if not Pakistan could've won the match. This match can't be taken into consideration to value the potential of the team.

In the other match Afghanistan played really well and in the upcoming league matches Afghanistan is going to be real gamechanger for sure. I'm much excited to watch the match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Today's win of Afghanistan against Sri Lanka is a reminder to all the teams.
252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 03, 2023, 06:39:21 PM
It all depends on the lifestyle and the personal financial situation. I personally have the interest to spend on gambling, but during our old-age we won't be getting much of time to think about gambling. We'll looking on more other responsibilities, particularly the grand children and health. Another thing, gambling always need strategy development, analysis and knowledge when it comes to sports betting. During old age this and all won't be the priority and we might spend just for time pass. For everyone there used to be some kind of addiction and at the old age this shouldn't be a problem. It is time to take rest and enjoy with the pension benefits. Gambling is not about the age, but there'll be transition in the way we spent.

Semi-final between Zverev and Medvedev. This is now the fifth time the two will met. Zverev only won once, in August in Cincinnati. Medvedev is in top form and has also performed well in this tournament. I rather see the advantage for Medvedev.

In the second semi-final, Alcaraz should have no big difficulties against Sinner. But Alcaraz has also lost surprisingly sometimes in the last weeks.
For some reason my inner mind said this to be a winning match for Sinner against Alcaraz and Zverev against Medvedev. One of my prediction have is correct as Sinner fought well and won the first set and it was a very easy win in the second set as the scores were 77-64 6-1

In the other match Medvedev have won it in a much easier way against Zverev 6-4 6-3
I even placed a multibet and lost it, I should've went for single bet.

It is the lifestyle of people that decides the spending. We need to learn to move our life within the amount we earn. Spending beyond our ability gonna lead life into debts. Just because we're on the low earning range we should not feel bad of it. What needs to be done is focus on making our earnings better. Maybe this can take time, but one should continue working on it. However our plans shouldn't affect our savings, we should limit the unwanted expenses and spend on must need things. Whenever there arises a need, we should postpone it for two days. If we were able to pass the two days then it is an unwanted thing. This way more unwanted expenses can be cut and the same can be invested for better future.

Disappointment gonna be part of ODI World Cup 2023. Was watching the match between South Africa and New Zealand. The target of 321 is really hard to chase, but New Zealand is in better position. If the match have ended and knowing the result is different. The rain showered and when New Zealand have scored 211/4 in 37 overs. The wait continued for some time period. Further both the captains have shaked hands and concluded the match through the DLS method. Based on the DLS method, New Zealand was supposed to score 219 runs to win the match. Short of 7 runs have made it a win for New Zealand.

Match between Bangladesh and England have come to an end. England have reached the target in 24.1 overs losing 6 wickets. It was Moeen Ali who gave a comeback with his 56 runs out of 39 balls when the Wickets continue to fall at regular interval.

One of the biggest automobile maker into bitcoin acceptance is good news, but I expect this need to last for longer. In recent days we were able to see more services accepting bitcoin into their businesses. Very few continue the acceptance whereas the majority end bitcoin acceptance as they don't get the calculated profit as well as the increased userbase. Very few prefer buying car with bitcoin, because of the volatility. It is the same world where an African citizen arrested for buying Ferrari with bitcoin. Man Buys Ferrari With Bitcoin, Gets 18-month Prison Sentence. Honda need to provide every form of support, if not the cryptocurrency acceptance will ruin the reputation of the company.

It is common with most of the people who had come to know about bitcoin during the earlier days. Those were the days when the pyramid schemes were into hype and more scams were happening around. By the time, people who had the better understanding about technology understands it well whereas the rest finds it a scam. Apart from the technically skilled people, it is the lucky ones who believed and invested during the early days.

For everyone who think we're late, the reality is different. We've got more opportunities, even now it isn't that late to invest into bitcoin. Even now if one start to accumulate as much possible soon, he can turn himself as millionaire as OP's friend. Every investment needs time to grow, and what we had experienced with bitcoin is abrupt growth. This had made people think it a scam and took time for them to understand the backing technology and how it could change the financial system. Bitcoin shouldn't be considered as a quick rich investment, but as a source that could help us reach our goals earlier.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 02, 2023, 02:58:37 PM
Every warm-up match had been interesting to watch due to the high scoring. In today's match Williamson tossed the coin in style and soon after winning the toss he nodded the head and took batting. It means they've already planned whether to go with batting/bowling on winning the toss. Same as what they had planned, things are working in favour of New Zealand team.

Weather conditions disturbed the match, yet everything is on time. Close to 350 runs can b expected as New Zealand have reached 243/3 in 40 overs. New player Chapman on the crease is now waiting for another fresh batsman from the pavilion.
New Zealand's innings stopped at 321 runs against South Africa. If New Zealand could have continued the way they started in the end, the score would have crossed 350 plus, but they were not very aggressive towards the end against the South African bowlers. I wouldn't say the South African bowlers bowled very well today, they picked up a wicket early in the game but then they didn't pick up wickets for a long time, due to overheating two players got off the field with good runs for the team. 

South Africa took a total of six wickets against New Zealand and managed to pick up five of them in the last over which led to New Zealand's first innings total of 321 otherwise the first innings total could have been bigger.
New Zealand stood a  good total. New Zealand has good batting side and New Zealand  fielding is top class whole the World.If New Zealand bowlers take 3 wickets in 15 overs, it will be very difficult for South Africa to chase this score. Now, score of South Africa is  50 with fall of 1 wicket . Van der Dussen is playing very well, he played well in very difficult situations. If Van der Dussen stays on crease and made a century then South Africa  could win this match. In a few hours, it will be decide who will win this match. But match is very interesting and I am enjoying very well. I think match will go at the end.
Thats good total and with the bowling line-up from New Zealand it is possible to defend the score. Already South Africa have lost 3 wickets scoring 146 in 26 overs. In comparison with the scores after 26 overs, both were almost similar runs with South Africa losing 3 wickets. De Cock have reached his half century and Klaasen on the crease have got the potential to drive the team towards win.
259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nigeria continuous banning of crypto on: October 01, 2023, 11:59:31 PM
Nigerian government is much keen in banning the usage of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The initial steps were on developing their own CBDC e-naira and government wasn't successful. However it is possible to see good support from the people of Nigeria. As a result it is possible to see good number of individuals of Nigeria stepping into cryptocurrency acceptance on their personal business and other services. This is evident through different users of our forum from Nigeria posting their own experiences.

It is common to see governments trying to have things under control. Same time government should also act in the right way considering the need of the people. Nigeria government have failed in it through its corruption. This too a reason for the Nigerian people to look for something alternate and take a chance to lead better life.

Australia Women team won the match by 8 wickets. Australian Women team chase very well, Alyssa Healy played excellently and scored  brilliant 56 runs in only 29 balls. Thalia also played very well, She made excellent 60 runs in 32 balls and pour good contribution in their team. Australian Women chased this score in only 13.2 overs. From West Indies Women side Hayley played top class inning  and made 99 runs in only 74 balls. Due to lack of good bowling skills, West Indies lose the match. West Indies Women team gave a good target but their bowlers do not perform well and made defensive bowling. At the end, Australian Women team won the match by 8 wickets . This is good victory on Australian wickets.

Just like WI men team there women team is also struggling to get victory. WI women cricket team skipper Hayley Matthews was unlucky to miss his second T20I century by just 1 run and despite her heroic performance WI wasn't able to defend a target of 148 runs. Aus women team chased the target in just 14th over. Two matches still to be played and lets see whether WI can make a come back.
Australia Women team used to be the strongest. Being the champion of T20 international, it is not anything different to see Australia Women team winning big. As said Hayley missed her century being on the crease, unlucky. Australia Women team had lost just two wickets to reach the target. Second T20 of the three match series is scheduled for the day and West Indies Women needs to make some additional efforts to keep its winning hope alive.

For now the possible way to stay successful against Australia women team is with strong bowling. Only with the best bowling it is possible to have Australia stand within a limited score that can be chased. In reality it is all about the toss that had got to be an important thing in win of the match.
