In the match between Netherlands versus Scotland, it was an interesting match between them. Netherlands won the match quite easily in the end. I think the associate countries are showing good performance in this tournament, and ICC should actually give proper funding to them and also increase the number of teams in the World Cup.
May be the bad captaincy and bowling choices by the Scotland captain was a protest against the funding by ICC and thereby ruling them out of the World Cup Cheesy Tongue.  

No point in adding more teams in the World Cup and expect interesting and entertaining matches in ODI, the best must compete to have any entertainment and for the sustainability of the entire tournament.

This is the final Super Six results, although we have two matches left but it won't change the top 2 positions which would be qualifying for the world cup. Srilanka will play the last match with West Indies tomorrow and then we have a final match between the top 2 teams, that is Srilanka and NewZealand.

England have got a good start to this match to be honest. If you see it currently all that England has to do is stay on the pitch for tomorrow full day and score Atleast a 100 run lead over Australia, this will automatically ease their chances of winning this match. Looking at the pitch obviously it's not that easy to bat full day tomorrow but I think it's bare minimum they will have to do to win th the match.

When Australia was all out at 263 runs, England was on the top but since they lost three wickets for 68, I don't think they now have the advantage. Remember that England will have to play the morning session tomorrow and it will be a real testing time for them. At the moment this test match is in balance and I think one good partnership can change the fortune of this match to one team.

Top 3 English batsmen out cheaply and now all hopes and eyes are on Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow to do something extraordinary for the England team.

USA vs UAE Today's match was high scored by United Arab Emirates. UAE scored 308 runs for the loss of 4 wickets which is a really huge score. Right now USA is fighting for victory and they need only few runs so they will win the match. United States played a great game against UAE today and if they win today's match they will reach a good stage. If the United Arab Emirates came in at the last moment and did a little better bowling performance, it would have been a little difficult for the United States to win the match. But the way USA is batting at the moment, they definitely have a chance to win the match. USA have lost 7 wickets and currently need 11 runs from 6 balls to win the match which is not much. And if they can bowl well in the match then USA will be under some pressure and it will be very difficult to win the match. Looking at the performance of the game at the moment, it is understood that the USA will win because of their good batting performance, they have managed to collect good runs. But at the last minute fortunes turned around for USA with a fall of wickets due to which Vishal was under a lot of pressure.
In the last minute, the United Arab Emirates secured victory with the United States by 1 run.

This was just a 9th place playoff match but the match was a high scoring thriller where both teams scored above 300 runs and in the end United Arab Emirates just won by a single run. Nothing to choose between the two teams but I am sure if both countries focus more on cricket, they could be strong teams by the next world cup in 2027.

In the other super six match, the Netherlands beat Scotland and they now stand in the 2nd position in the super six for the world cup qualifiers. Unexpectedly Zimbabwe is at 4 at the moment but these three teams have the same points, that is 6 each.
2524  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why do you still want to play fake web2 casinos? Why we choose web3 casinos on: July 06, 2023, 03:48:47 PM
I believe in the future that there will be many web3 casinos too but that does not mean that they are free from KYC regulations as well because that is to prevent other criminal acts including money laundering, I have never differentiated between the two because they are the same technology that we admit too, I have also been worried about connecting the wallet to an untrusted website, but I use another solution, which is to use a backup wallet to connect to the web3 casino and if I get money from the backup wallet then I will send money to my personal main wallet.
Even though they use the same technology, look at the title written by the justbet casino representative. They claim that web2 casinos are fake and unfair, while they claim that web3 casinos are better than them. I also think there will be more web3 casinos in the future. New platforms will learn from old casino mistakes. We might see more improved platforms in the future.

I believe this thread is part of their marketing strategy. They want bitcoin talk users to talk about their platform. No matter if it's positive or negative. They will get some traffic from this topic. But, i don't think such marketing strategies are good for business.

First of all, we need to realize that Web 2 casinos are not fake. They have been in existence for decades and even now they are more popular than the Web 3.0 casino. The fake ones are only those who are Web 2.0 casinos but they market themselves as Web 3.0 casino. These casinos should be avoided because if you speak the wrong things in your marketing campaign, that business can't be trusted for honesty and transparency.

Other than this, Web 2.0 casinos are fine and good to play and let the Web 3.0 casino market gets mature.

England vs Australia
Today's 3rd Test match between the two teams has started. Australia now comes out to bat. Scored 147 runs in 38.1 overs. So far Australia has lost 4 strong wickets. Australia batsman David Warner is out for 4 runs off 5 balls. David Warner is batting.  Poor performance. Usman Khawaja is out for 13 runs in 37 balls. Marnus Labuschagne is out for 21 runs in 58 balls. Australia team's 4 strong batsmen are batting very poorly. Australia is under a lot of pressure in batting now. England bowling line is a lot.  Started performing well.

Australia was in trouble. At one point, they were 85/4. But now Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head are treating the England bowlers like the latter are from some fifth-tier associate nation. Mark Wood and Stuart Broad were so impressive earlier. But all of a sudden they lost their venom and started leaking runs. Ollie Robinson and Chris Woakes are being very ordinary. And the less we talk about Moeen Ali that better.

Edit: finally Chris Woakes managed to get the wicket of Mitchell Marsh.
Mitchell Marsh have played like an ODI scoring 118 runs from 118 balls. Following him Travis Head have lost his wicket at 39 runs. That was really a needed partnership, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh did it well. 100 runs partnership when there is continuous wicket fall adds more strength to the team. Now the score have reached 245/6 which is quite good compared to 85/4. Probably the innings of Australia could end within 300 runs. England have good chance of taking advantage of the match and lets see what happens.

Overall I think England has the upper hand in this match.  They have managed to take 9 wickets and restricted Australia to 254 runs. If they are able to bowl them out under 280 runs it will be a big achievement and a good start to this must win test match for them.

The Australian batting line completely crashed in this match. If Mitchell Marsh didn't make that quick 118 runs, Australia would have been struggling badly. Mark Wood took 4 wickets and stand out among the bowlers. Remember England have to win this  Leeds test, in order to stay in the Ashes.

When we talk about people who participates in signatures campaign earned bitcoin how they spend the bitcoin, I think any reason rendering is exaggeration and predictions because nobody knows were we put in our money we earn in signatures campaign, some people are using forum earning as their side hustle and when the weekly bitcoin received they use it for investment, we don't know how people here have less bitcoin and more of bitcoin in his wallet, their are other investments some people can go in without  investing bitcoin gives them more money, so many people does even invest in bitcoin because they prefer investing with altcoin because the profit in altcoins investment, it depends were you want to invest

Every Signature campaign participants have different thought and circumstances. Some may use this money to meet their small expenses while others may gamble or trade with this money. Some may even save it for the future while others may convert it to fiat.

The question of why one can't ever hold the bitcoin for the long term really depends upon the financial conditions of the person. I guess everyone wishes to hold but in order to meet the day to day expenses, some people may have to convert to fiat too. If you do not have extra money which you can put in Bitcoin and forget about for a few years, you have no other option but to convert it back and forth into fiat.
2527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: July 05, 2023, 01:52:38 PM
If you get to that stage , I think you're an addict to gambling and you already lost more than you can ever recover. Threatens on gambling are scary and I don't even want to imagine what is like to be like that and I don't want to find out. However, every action is a reaction of you previous choices so that should sum it up.  Undecided

Who can threat a person to stop gambling? For sure, it would be anyone who is very close to us and moreover, he or she cares for us. A most common example could be the wife threatening his husband to stop gambling. else she may leave him or divorce him. Or a very close friend threatening another friend to stop the gamble, or else he will leave the friendship forever.

A point to consider is that these threats come once people do not listen and when the other person sees there is no other option but to try the last resort to threaten the person to stop the gamble.
2528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 05, 2023, 10:14:33 AM
I don't believe such calculation, although the good thing you've show betting on sports will not make someone rich. There's a strategy that has been calculated and speculated someone can able to beat the house, it called as martingale strategy. But the reality you will still lose even you use martingale strategy, this is because calculation isn't always same like the reality. Gambling is pure of luck, not something that can be proven by mathematic.

No matter it is sports betting or it is casino games, they will always lose in the long term if they do not have any plan of action or if they do not have some money management plan along with their gambling skills.

Yes, gambling is pure luck, we have no control over the luck and we have no control over the results which comes through sports betting or through the traditional casino games. Luck cannot be with you all the time but money management save you from loses always.

Yeah, stadiums are built by State Governments but at the same time, every year all the funding of State Boards comes from BCCI, not State Government.

Overall i am not arguing about who maintains the stadium or built it/ownership for that matter, my whole point is every state board gets more than enough money but still spectator experience is not good due to their ignorance.
It is possible that the state government and also the BCCI have made an agreement by doing distribution because in every game there must be a profit from ticket sales or sponsors.
But sharing the deal can also make the stadium better because when there are improvements or upgrades it can be supported by both parties which is more feasible in terms of costs.

It also seems that it doesn't really affect the audience because everyone who comes there can watch the team they like compete for victory.

Well, are we talking about the stadiums in India for the upcoming world cup  Huh

What is wrong with those stadiums as we already witness the 2 months long IPL in the same stadiums and everything looks good on the TV screen? Is there any problem related to the conditions and facilities provided in those cricket venues?
2530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 05, 2023, 02:55:38 AM
To be honest, I don't pay much attention to my gambling patterns, but of course there are a number of things I do to be able to keep my financial condition from being affected by my gambling activities, for example, such as recording expenses in excel and separating funds for gambling from my main wallet. And usually when gambling I play classic pieces to be able to reduce tension when gambling and I think that's quite helpful.

That's the best thing that you may do in gambling, is to keep your gambling expenses aside from your other income. This way even if you lose all money in gambling, you will not lose your everything. I would call it money management and this is the most important thing, more important than any gambling pattern or anything.

However, when making bets such as sports betting, you will do this when you see several opportunities or superior players or teams playing. it will be an excellent opportunity to profit from betting. As a whole, this pattern is only based on a good chance or moment.

I also prefer sports betting over casino games as I feel more comfortable and even more profitable while betting on my favorite sports. Again it's my personal preference, some people may be more lucky in casino games and they may spend more time there.
2531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI on: July 05, 2023, 02:25:27 AM
Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women 3rd ODI match has already started today. New Zealand Women won the toss and went to bat. Scored 55 runs in 16.3 overs. So far New Zealand Women have lost 2 wickets. Bernadine Bezuidenhout scored 4 runs off 15 balls.  Run out. Melie Kerr got out with 19 runs from 36 balls. 2 batsmen of New Zealand Women team batted very badly. For which now New Zealand Women are under a lot of pressure. Sri Lanka Women started to perform very well in bowling.
This seems to be a challenging time for the New Zealand women's cricket squad. The Kiwis have been making solid progress despite the early departure of two important players. Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates' ability to boost the run rate and put their side in a good position is now crucial to the outcome of the contest. To put serious pressure on Sri Lanka, they must accomplish the Herculean challenge of getting their team score closer to 300 runs. Will they be able to handle the pressure?

NZ women's team needs to show a strong commitment to better performance as they still have three T20 to be played with the same opponent at Colombo starting from this Saturday, July 08. 



Now coming to the other women's match played at Gros Islet, where the West Indies women's team beat the Ireland women's team by just two wickets. This was important for West Indies in particular, as their Men team is under a lot of pressure and is at the verge of being not qualifying for the world cup finals.

That’s good way to go mate. I have told myself since the beginning that I’m not gonna sell my FUN anytime soon. I’m already keeping everything set for the big day. There is no magic in this one but simple maths of premium membership as well as the FUNs utility everywhere in the gambling casino through freebitcoin. The stakes are also huge in the Binance like exchangers. I’m confident that this will pan out really well in the future time and advisable that everyone should keep holding it.

The FUN superiority is beyond 30 Satoshi and if you check the historical charts then yeah it’s way bigger than we think. Hoping for the boom soon!

From the big day, I guess you mean the bull market. For you and all of those who are holding the FUN token, I guess the time is very near when we may again see a surge in the price of Bitcoin and also in the altcoins including the FUN token. As the halving is approaching, bitcoin is also moving up steadily and for the last many days it is trading above 30,000K.

Those who haven't bought FUN tokens but are waiting for further price dip, I think its time that they buy them now otherwise there are high chances that they may miss the the train altogether.
2533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 04, 2023, 11:49:41 PM
This sums up about minding our own stuff. If people do gamble for fun, those that are doing it for income wouldn't have a thing for those that does it for fun and vice versa.

You can't force people to stop what they've been doing for a long time just to enforce your thought and thinking.


Again we can't force any to stop gamble but we can and should advise them to quit gambling if it is hurting them or if we know anyone who is addicted to gambling.


People may even get agree to you with that but since we're in a forum, discussions like this are typical and in the end, you only need to think of your own.

Yes of course, if can put ourselves in the scenario, where how we will react if someone asks us to quit gamble, sharing our point of view on this will be helpful to decide if it is easy to quit or not. If we think that we won't stop gambling upon asking other people, why would other people would listen to us and stop the gamble  Huh

linking an article that does not contain any evidence proving your story means nothing, how about posting actual evidence here on your thread to support your claim? Stunna responded to your post saying that your story is BS and just made up, do have any response to Stunna? this would be a great time to prove your claims.

If he had any real claims  he would have already mentioned those in his article at medium and not need to make up a stories with fake emails.

I never got the reason as why these people come up with these fake stories. The reputation of the casino never get damages if the accusation against them proves to be false. Also i don't think anyone would get the money from the casino if he or she publishes a fake story about the gambling casino.

OP is just wasting time here and nothing else.
2535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: July 04, 2023, 11:27:04 PM
Anyways, I'd rather participate in a national lottery and I'm fine with paying taxes there compare to looking for an effort to find a casino for the reason you have mentioned. But before anything else, what should I be worried about tax as what matter here first is, I should win no matter what lol.

Do you think that the national lotteries are real and they really give the reward to a real person? Although it may depend upon the country to country basis but still I think that most national lotteries are fake and they are made to gather money from the public. Yes, they do have a draw in the end and I guess they make any fake person win those lotteries.

I am saying this because there are so many of my innocent family members who are buying these government lotteries for years but never got any rewards and wins.  Sad
2536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does lottery rewards expire? on: July 04, 2023, 03:48:47 PM
I still believe that there should be a law which states that lottery rewards must have a minimum expiration timeline of a year or two. Maybe even longer.

For the casino point of view, they would never want the lotteries expiration to be that longer duration. They would ideally want the lottery duration to be of minimum duration and the reason for this is that one the lottery is expired people will be willing to buy another lottery and hence spend the money on lottery.

Contrary to this, if the lottery duration is years long, people will just hold on the lottery hoping they would get the reward and may not buy more lotteries in that time period.
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 03, 2023, 11:59:27 PM
Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?
Casino sites can strict the KYC procedure. But there is always a chance for fake data. It is something difficult to do by the casino sites. Even if they use a live KYC procedure to validate the data, a smart one can always know how to manipulate it. Well, a live KYC may be the best way to eliminate underage. I don't think any other ways to deal with this matter.

This is another issue with the KYC, that is FAKE documents submit to pass the KYC (And I will discuss this separately) but if the casino can't check if the data provided with us is real or fake, then what is the purpose of the KYC. Casinos should have a mechanism to verify the data and an intelligent system that can detect fake ID Cards, driving licenses, and/or passport submissions.

They could make use of live camera technology to scan these documents but the point is that once they make an effort to collect real data, they should also make use of that data correctly, which means that they should filter the minors and deny them the opportunity to gamble.
2538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: July 03, 2023, 11:49:39 PM
~snip~
I wouldn't rely too much on AI predictions simply because if it were anywhere to churning out accurate predictions right now, then, we'd have had an influx of new millionaires / billionaires and most bookmarkers would simply go out of business. Maybe for skill-based games rather than sports betting considering the fact that getting recent data to train a model would not be an easy task.

I've always viewed it as a tool to stop some repetitive tasks and it can be best used right now as a tool rather than a standalone system.

Also the casinos probably are already using the latest advances in AI to predict their odds. And at the end of the day their odds always give them a nice advantage to the house, so it doesn't matter that you can predict correctly the odds, the house still has the advantage.

Example, a coin flip. Your AI predicts it has 50% chance of hitting tails. Casino pays odds of 40-60 for tails(slight advantage for casino). In the long term, casino will keep all your money because of that difference. See?, it doesn't matter if you have a perfect prediction of the odds.

The casino does have an advantage over the odds because of the house edges but that does not apply to sports betting. People can still use AI to choose the most perfect entry for sports betting.

When we place a bet, we see all the past records of the team and then place the bet on the stronger team hoping they will repeat the same performance again. When we take help from the AI to calculate the past performances, we would get the most accurate data in very less time and thus it will hep us choose the more appropriate team to bet on.

It's just that there are gamblers that don't really do research before registering and doing deposit in a casino. Most of the time, they only do research when a casino is showing sign of being a scam casino like delaying their withdrawals, forfeiting, and constant reasoning of casino why they can't let you withdraw. Their marketing team is just so good that they still able to lure some gamblers into their casino and scam them. Once you deposit in this casino, you can consider yourself a loser even if you won in their games.

1xbit plays cleverly as they do not scam initially. When a person opens an account at 1xbit, they do not scam, they just let himself have a good natural experience of gambling, depositing, and withdrawing. They usually will scam selective people who have large amounts in their bankroll or deny the people of their earnings through big wins etc.

If you are not a bitcointalk reader, it may be not easy to guess that 1xbit is a scam until you experience yourself by depositing and then your account gets closed and your fund gets stolen by these scammers.
2540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does lottery rewards expire? on: July 03, 2023, 04:37:15 PM
Yes, you read that accurately.

If I buy several lottery tickets and then leave my account dormant for a long time, say at least 6 months, and my ticket wins the jackpot during that time.
Will anything happen to my prize money? Will the casino refund my money because I never claimed any of the rewards?

It's just a thought I've had for a while and decided to ask here in the community.


It really depends upon lottery to lottery and every lottery will have different rules of their tickets expirations. I know there are few physically lottery which will be valid for 3 to 6 months but online lotteries have much lower durations. Its always better to read the term and conditions of the lottery where you want to participate and you will get to know about their expiration.
Also mostly casino will not refund you the money, even if you do not claim any rewards.
