Can you explain me why i need to learned gambling?

Simply put, here only millions of money are managed by asset owners, so where i have no money. In fact, i have ideas about gambling, but I don't have the ability to spend money there.

You don't need to learn to gamble, also there is no compulsion for you to do gambling if you are a crypto user. I think you are rather complicating gambling and crypto while there is no such big relation between the two, although I do agree that gambling using cryptocurrencies is easy as compared that you do online gambling through credit cards etc.

You can still make money through trading or any other opportunity if you think that gambling does not suit you.

Finally England able to book victory over Australia in j this Ashes series. Australia batting in this match was not too good like they played in previous two matches. I think England bowlers now find the key to take quick wickets. Harry brook inining was interesting one. The way he played was just like ODI. His fantastic 75 of 93 gives england score speed to chase target easily. Now Series is 2-1 and next gane will be interesting one and both team will be enter in the ground with new strategy.

Yes, true as with this win , the interest of the series will remain intact. This is good for the host nation, good for the spectators and also good for the advertisers too.  Smiley

Australia are still in advantage with a lead of 2-1, which means that they will get one more chance in the 4th test match to win the series, in case of another Aussie loss, we will have final.

The next test will start in 10 days time at Manchester on July 19th.

The sad thing is that the "Host Error or occurred timeout" sent my post twice and I have to delete one. I believe the issue was caused by the new Cloudflare added by the forum admin and it will be nice if Theymos and the team do something about it.

This is really frustrating and annoying now and i also wish if the admins tell us why exactly this is happening and when it will be resolved ?

Just for experiment, i restarted my Internet router (to get a different IP), clear the cache of my browser and it start working normally for sometime and then again the same problem.

Is they any work around found to tackle this issue for the time being ?

Sri Lanka haven't lost any of the matches in the World Cup Qualifier. With its previous win Netherlands is highly confident to chase targets. However to play against experienced teams is still a struggle. The score of 233 runs seems a reachable target, but Sri Lanka is getting better in its bowling order. Particularly the spinners were performing good, today the fast bowlers have been giving good break from the beginning. Already Madushanka have taken 3 wickets as Netherlands have lost 4 wickets scoring 39 runs in 8 overs.

In both matches against the Netherlands, we saw some poor batting from the Sri Lankan batsmen. In the previous match, Sri Lanka's collection was 213 runs. And today they managed to collect 233 runs. But the Sri Lankan bowlers bowled well in both these matches. Netherlands batsmen are not able to survive at the crease against Sri Lanka's experienced bowlers. The Netherlands team lost 5 wickets to collect only 41 runs. However, the match is not important for either team. Because they have already qualified for the World Cup. Even so, I don't think the Netherlands will bat that badly. Collecting 100 runs is now a tough task for the Netherlands.

It seems like Srilanka will easily win this final match at Harare against Netherlands. Although I thought that Srilanka did not make good runs as they could only reach 233 but this seems to be more than enough for them. They were all out in the 47th over. Sahan Arachchige  made 57 runs and was the highest run maker from Srilanka.

Netherlands had the worst possible chase in this match. They are 6 down for 82 runs. All their batsmen completely failed today.
Only Max O'Dowd is batting  at 33 and the rest are unable to reach even double figures.

Yeah, I also have same issue since yesterday. Forum loads much slowe than it's supposed to load and I'm also getting Cloudflare verification before loading page sometimes.
Hm, I spent on the forum more time than usual yesterday and I had no issues whatsover but this morning it was really bad, I was barely able to leave a post. Anyway, it was annoying af.

I don't know if it's sorted for others, but for me everything is back to normal. Or its maybe only temporary improvement as some mentioned it happened to them.

Edit: it was only temporary improvement as at the moment I clicked to share this post, it started lagging again.

With me, I don't know why it moves to Cloudfare few times today to check if the connection is secure and remains stuck there for a long time.
Also the browsing is slow as compared to other days.

I guess there is some issue at Cloudfare or it could be with my browser  Huh


2507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 09, 2023, 11:24:39 AM
224 runs is the target for England then, they have 2 full days of batting to do it. It really is not that high of a target, it’d be good if they could keep their nerve and reach the target to keep The Ashes alive this series. Nobody wants to see a white wash except Aussies.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/cricket/64959135

All eyes on Headingley for day 4 tomorrow.

England has all the opportunity to win this test match. The target is very moderate. If England does not lose quick wickets they are going to win this test match. But at the same time, I think we have to remember that the pitch has been behaving, quite friendly for the bowlers. With the condition, the rain, and also with overcast situations. I think it might be difficult for the batsmen of England to score freely.

I agree that they should be able to keep calm and score slowly. Conditions are going to support the bowlers. So they will have to show respect to the bowlers. They will have to punish the bad balls and defend the good ones. They should not go after the Australian bowling attack like crazy. Because that is the only way they are going to lose the match.

Just 224 runs required to win the match. It is a great opportunity for England, and the bowling from every one is really good. Particularly the expectation from Moeen Ali have got fulfilled. He had taken two important wickets and maintained an economy of 2 runs bowling 34 overs. Anyhow Australian bowlers will do the best and we can expect some extra bounce from the bowlers.

More two days left, and the same will give England more time to score. In recent test matches the batting performance of England was similar to the batting in an ODI. Maybe the same way could've been used this time to end the match at the earliest.

Finally, England is looking very strong in this match and now there should be no excuse with them for not winning this won. They scored 93 for 3 wickets down but only need 158 more runs to register their first win in this match.

The opener Zak Crawley played well and made the one end safe while wickets kept falling at other end. Now he is also out when England is at the score of 93 but i am sure that remaining English batsmen would achieve this target and there will be no more drama again in this test match.

Obviously, this does not look good as it does not encourage customers and potential clients to keep visiting the website to continue their activities. How can they just all of a sudden just start acting up this way? Possibly I assume there is an upgrade or maintenance ongoing because the traffic that frequents the site might definitely have warranted the upgrade so they could be able to accommodate more numbers irrespective of the volume and capacity.

I'm quite sure that they are out of funds and they wont be able to allow any withdrawals from their platform. They will have two options in this stage either to make excuses that their system is having maintenance break, and continue holding the money of the gamblers for long duration, or to just exit the business without any confirmation.

I'm not very sure but it seems that they are turning out to be a scam site, and even if the invested a lot for the marketing in past, they wont be able to hold up the reputation and trust they received from their users. I hope that those users who have a lot of funds frozen on that site will get at least something because I don't expect that they will even get a dollar back if situation continues like that.

I was a bit negative about Betnomi before but now since have processed that withdraw and also this update
Sorsis got in touch. He says that he will soon process my payment and, as far as I understood from the conversation, the site will also be active soon.
Quote
I am sorry for disappearing.
There was a major situation outside of my control and i had to leave but i am partially available now and will sort out your payment soon. You can be sure of that
, it seems that they are not scam exiting and will come back. We do not know what is the situation beyond their control and it is not always the funds. Let's give them a break and wait for their come back. Remember if they were only to scam, they could have kept the site running and keep accepting the deposits.
2509  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: July 09, 2023, 03:04:21 AM
~snip~
Previously we discussed this if the casino will be able to overcome things that can harm the casino or something that makes the casino lose big.
AI may always be developed in the future but we must remember that the casino system will be stronger, especially the security system which is checked every time and all this is done to always update the security system to be stronger.
I think we shouldn't think about this too much because gambling is always the big winner in every problem.
It's true what you say. Therefore, we must always remember that our chances of winning are not greater if we use AI. And even if someone manages to win from the casino, it will not make the casino lose because more gamblers will feel the loss. So we should only play gambling for fun and leave everything to luck because winning from the casino is not easy. Apart from that, by only playing for fun, we will not be too eager to chase victory, especially if we use up more money later. But some people will still want to try it, especially if they can get an AI that works well for others, so they'll be curious to try it.

AI is getting integrated into every other field and you will soon find it in the gambling industry too. I do not know in which form will it exists but it will be a part of gambling too. Will t be good or bad, that's a separate discussion as if the casino will integrate it, for sure, it will be in theirs's favor.

Also, I am anticipating new casinos emerging claiming (falsely) to be AI ones, just to create the hype and attract customers. This may also be  true for existing casino to misuse the word "AI" as some of them are misusing the word "Web 3.0"

Bangladesh is batting with a huge target of 332 runs. Bangladesh's team has won very few matches by batting for such a big target. But since this is Bangladesh's home match, nothing is impossible for Bangladesh. Bangladesh's win is definitely possible if the top order is able to bat responsibly. Mohammad Naim and Liton Das are opening. Bangladesh fans will have more expectations from these two players today. Also experienced batsmen like Shakib and Mushfiqur must play well today.
Bangladesh cannot always play according to a certain performance. many times it is seen that they can win the match by exceeding the target of Hughes run and sometimes they lose the easy matches too. But looking at today's performance, it is absolutely certain that Bangladesh is going to lose the match as Bangladesh lost 2 wickets including Liton Das Shanto to collect only 20 runs. Seeing such a target, Bangladesh has already lost confidence from themselves

Look like that Afghanistan will win this T20 match against Bangladesh and will win the series too. Afghanistan scored a massive score 331 and this is a match winning total. We have seen the record first wicket partnership between the openers Rahmanullah Gurba and Ibrahim Zadran of 245 runs. Both of them scored 100+ runs (Gurbaz made 145 runs).

In response, Bangladesh is struggling at 38 runs with three wickets down.
I don't see Bangladesh can recover from this situation.

If Australia gives England a target over 250 on such a great bowling surface, I feel that the English are screwed since Stokes can't save them everytime. Marsh turned out to be an amazing addition to their squad.

Wood needs to take some wickets since he is bowling really well and Australia just have 4 proper batsmen remaining. This test could end on Day-3(Moving day) itself.

Ben Stokes again saved the day for England. Otherwise, England wouldn't have been able to get a good score in the second innings. But Australia still had a good lead. Right now Australia has a lead of 142 and it is only the end of the second day. Australia has scored 116/4. I feel like Australia just needs to stay in the middle. They have to save wickets and they will have enough time to get enough runs. England is in trouble again I believe. But England will be able to still win the test match if they can get Australia all out quickly.

The way things are going, it seems that Ben Stokes might have to save England again in the 2nd innings. On the lunch 3rd day, Australia leads by 142 runs. Still, this match is in balance and can shift to both sides. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh have played 7 to 8 overs each and have their eye in. Now they need to take responsibility from here.

Australia just needs one big partnership and they will feel much more comfortable. England will be hoping to get a  quick wicket or two and put the nail in the coffin for this Aussies innings.

I wonder who would be stupid enough to move with to trade in exchange for 3 BTC from a stranger.

So what really happened, back in the day, you would seek for trades worth 500 BTC with a profile on localcryptos with zero trades  Grin

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5385156

Nice attempts trying to rob people of their money since fer 2022, it's not gonna happen. No one is that stupid

I'm selling crypto for cash in Sydney and I want to make people feel comfortable trading with me. What do you think is strange about OP's post?

To me trading 3BTC with no escrow is a bit much to trade for a first time with no trust.

Also why not meeting in a public location for neutral ground? Going to someones private space does feel dodgy.

Also is Amsterdam that dangerous? I have never been there.

One thing I still do not get it, why there is a minimum of 3 BTC in the first place.

Beware this can be another type of scam. As we know people afraid trust anyone online but since the OP is calling for a face 2 face meeting, people might get interested. Who knows when a wealthy person with 3 BTC goes to the OP, he is there to hack him on gun point  with his gang  Huh

With play gamble with different derivatives, some play for pleasure only and why some people play gambles because of daily bread, who is playing gambling for pleasure does not being curious in gambling, because it take the results it gambles as fair, why people who play gambles for surviving seek is detriment to win and its the reason are being addicted unknowingly, for this explanation of gambling its something of choice and personal concerns, any wealthy man who partake in gambling don't take gambling as means of surviving but seeing gambling like catching cruise and fun with the leisure time

Playing gambling to meet the expenses of the daily bread, may look good in the short term but in the long term, this is not sustainable. No one in the gambling world be able to make constant wins and when one's bad luck starts and he/she loses in gambling, it would be a panic situation when you will not have the money to meet your expenses. Also, it creates an extra burden on the gambler to get wins daily and for this, they may play excessive gambling.

A person gambling with a fun mindset will be in a better position to make sensible decisions and calls in gambling as compared to a stressed mind who has only feelings to feed his family based upon the result of the gambling.

Usually, people who win in gambling but not able to cash out or save their winnings and I think this has something to do with a Healthy mindset.
If you do not have the intention to save the wealth, you will lose all your winnings by risking them again in another gambling bet.

Only a mentally strong person who has control over emotions and have money management skills would be the real winner here and will become rich eventually.

The final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier will be played tomorrow, when the Dutch will take on Sri Lanka. When the last time these two teams met, the match was extremely close. Netherlands had the upper hand most of the time, but in the end they floundered the opportunity and Sri Lanka won the match by a narrow margin of 21 runs. Obviously Netherlands would be looking for revenge and the prospect of becoming the champions in ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier would be an unimaginable outcome for them (as well as the ICC).

To be honest, I did not even know that their team exists before this world cup qualifiers. The way they played in this WC qualifiers is remarkable and even if they lose the final with Srilanka (as Srilanka is a better team), this should not hurt their confidence. They have already achieved the best to reach the world cup.

Really, it is not easy to believe that the Netherlands is moving ahead in the world Cup while the well-known teams like West Indies and Zimbabwe failed to do so.
2516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 08, 2023, 05:54:08 AM
Two teams are fighting equally.The pacers of both teams are getting more advantage. Pat cummins single-handedly destroyed England's batting line-up. On the other hand team Australia is batting in the 2nd innings. Warner and Smith failed again in the 2nd innings. The partnership of Khawaja and Labuschagne was going to be big but England's bowlers dismissed both of them before that. Australia's 1st innings centurion Mitchell Marsh and Head are now at the crease and they have put on a 26-run partnership. Australia has taken a lead of 142 runs. 2nd day's play is over today. 3rd day is expected to be Australia's full day but  It is now to be seen how long England's bowling can last. I think Australia can beat England if they set a target of 300+ runs.
I think the one very big advantage of the Baz-Ball strategy of England is that much less matches are going for draw now, even this match looks like a complete thriller if England can grab some quick wickets tomorrow and settle Aus below 200 this game might be in their pockets but anything above 250 will be a nightmare to chase on this track, to be honest even 250 is hard enough.

If you think that Baz-Ball is the strategy of England, then i am afraid this is not a good strategy as it has cost them the first two Ashes match. In both those matches, England looked to come back but failed.

The same is happening in this match. We are thinking that England would stop the Australian to make runs in the 2nd innings., or even if they do, would England be able to chase a total somewhere between 200- 225 runs? They should chase it, but seeing the past two matches record, i can't say this with surety.
2517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 08, 2023, 05:39:19 AM
It really takes seriousness to stop gambling because it is not easy to avoid thinking about gambling, where a person will continue to be carried away by previous gambling experiences. If a person can have the firm will reduce gambling, he certainly can do it as long as he keeps practising to reduce it. Doing lots of activities will help a person slowly forget about gambling so if he can do it continuously, he can get out of gambling.

It is not easy to get rid of the gambling addiction. If it was easy, then there would have been no addiction at all. It is more of a mind and psychological thing and a gambling addict needs to consult a psychologist if he is not able to get rid of this habit himself.

Usually, in our society, people deny the fact that they are gambling addicts, and even if they know it, they would hesitate to go to any psychologist to get their treatment. The gambling addicts think that he is to make money and those who are trying to stop him from gambling are his enemies.

Instead of feeling sad for them, I would say that they should be ashamed of this performance. I wonder what would be the feeling of the legends WI crickets like Brian Lara or Chris Gayle on their country worst ever performance.
What can these legends do about the team selection and how they are performing, all they can do is to get disappointed and hopefully they will be able to regain their old glory.

These legends are equally responsible for the poor performance of the team. They should have contributed to building the infrastructure and training their successors so that the team would have not fallen apart after their retirement from the international cricket.

Ending up at fifth number against the teams like Netherlands, and Scotland is an insult in itself. West Indies was that team who won the World cups when these newbies cricket countries didn't know a word about cricket and today time has changed completely.  Sad
I guess the era of the West Indies cricket may have ended forever.
You cannot claim that the era of West Indies is over because of their terrible performance in ODI, they have shifted towards the shorter form of Cricket for over a decade and they will perform really well in T20 but they need to build a team for other formats.

If a team performs so poorly in the ODI, do not expect anything good from them in the T20.

Also, you are forgetting that West Indies does not stand last in the world cup 2023, but they are among the last teams who were competing to qualify to play the world cup.  Shocked
2519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 07, 2023, 06:17:05 PM
In order to answer this question I think it should be interpreted from two different perspectives. From the first perspective, it is because in gambling always the casino or sports betting provider wins, not the gambler. This is an order in which the balance is ensured by match-fixing or similar methods and it is not something that can be to the advantage of a gambler. The second perspective arises from the insatiability of gamblers. Gambling always stimulates the desire of gamblers to win more or to win large sums while gambling. This causes the gambler to play more and thus lose more. As the gambler loses, the casino or sports betting provider wins and thus the success rate of the players is much lower than the casino or sports betting provider.

Well, the first part is not in our control as the sports bookies will always want us to lose and all this match-fixing and manipulation is not in our hands.
Coming to the second part, where you said that gamblers wish to win more and more and this greediness leads them to a loss. This aspect can be controlled by the gamblers if they stop gambling after winning the bets, do not aim for too big money, and do not risk too much money. If the gamblers show some discipline they can be an overall winner in sports betting.
2520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 07, 2023, 04:52:56 PM
It's either I gamble every other week, or I gamble only when I really feel like it. No in betweens. I used to gamble religiously back in the day and I find that I'm slowly succumbing to addiction all because it's slowly becoming a bigger part of my life than how I wished it could be. So I stopped for a whole year and only came back to gambling when I felt that I'm not gonna be subject to such deteriorating behaviors anymore. It helped a lot actually.


Do you know that you are one of those lucky gamblers who know the difference between gambling and being addicted to gambling? Many gamblers would be addicted but they will never realize it.  Sad

By the way, if you can tell everyone how did you manage to keep yourself away from gambling for the whole year? Most people would not stay away from gambling even for a few days and here you are talking about a whole full year.

If every one of us can sit back and calculate how many hours we spend on gambling, how much money we spend on gambling and analyze our own gambling pattern, it can really help us get organized and not lose much money., rather may become those who actually are profitable in gambling.
