Before the start of the match the odds for Nadal vs Medvedev is found to be

Nadal: 2.55
Medvedev: 1.54

As match began this even go higher as the first two sets were won by Medvedev. The second set was truly amazing to watch, because both kept playing their best. In most of the finals Nadal used to give such performance. Earlier in a final he played against Roger Federer, where Federer was in the lead and finally Nadal made it his day. He is a real champion.

The all important quarterfinal has started in the under 19 world cup between Australia and Pakistan. Pakistan has won the toss and asked the Australians to bat first. Although they made the right choice but Australians are playing very well and have made 58 runs without any wicket. If this continues. then I am afraid, it will be hard for us to chase down big target.

Also I am getting scores of this match through the internet because the local sports TV channels are busy showing the matches of PSL.
A very good toss won by Pakistan but no Australia is on good hold with Teague Wyllie on crease very good event for this youngster 67 on 92 and in tournament 260 with average of 260 really amazing. Australia is in 36th over and scoreboard showing 164/1 now Pakistan need few wickets if they want alive in this match otherwise any score above 280+ can give them good pressure and Australia can advance into semi-final of this mega event where England and Afghanistan already have places and now remaining teams looking for their spots.

Last quarter-final will be play between India vs Bangladesh which is easy win for India as they have very good bowling and batting, Bangladesh is currently not good enough for having spot in semi-final.

A very disappointing performance by U-19 team Pakistan in the quarter final. In chase of 276 runs, they are 6 down for only 97 runs. They were unbeaten in the group stages but on this crucial occasion, they are unable to control their emotions and most probably will lost this match and will be out of the competition. This is where the big match pressure comes into play and the under 19 team need more exposure to handle the pressure.
This is no surprise, because we can't predict the game. More unpredicted results have come. Sri Lanka too is undefeated in the group matches, but it has lost to Afghanistan by 4 runs in yesterday's match. In this tournament it is able to see the better performance of every country. Not only the top order teams, but the bottom teams too doing good giving unexpected results. In tomorrow's match India is playing Bangladesh. We don't know what's going to be the result, because India stands undefeated on the group matches. Smiley Smiley Smiley

Both Sri Lanka and Pakistan were undefeated in the group stages and they lost in the quarterfinals. So do you think India will be eliminated too as they were also undefeated? If India managed to survive against Bangladesh, which they should, I think then India will be the favorites to win the tournament.
I can predict the Australia and India in the finals but lets see what developed in the last Quaterfinals and then the Semifinals.
Australia vs India in the finals will only happen if India is able to win today's match. I was going through some prediction report on this match and toss will play a major role in India and Bangladesh match. The team that wins the toss and bats first has a higher chance of winning than the one that bats second. For India Angkrish Raghuvanshi can play an important role of India bats first.
There is more chance for the final to happen between Australia and India. In today's match India will win, as of now Bangladesh have lost 6 wickets scoring 50 runs. This time the winning has moved towards the second batting team, because Bangladesh doesn't look like scoring 100+ runs.

There's something different about this weekly bonus stake is like giving a double bonus first they send a bonus code on telegram and say there will be a new code until we manage to claim both codes with the same amount , is this a mistake or is there a double bonus? if yes in what event? I know this is not the first time because some time ago stake did the same thing it's just that the second bonus is lower than the first.

That's correction from Stake, means the first code contains the wrong amount and the new code give you additional amount to fill the missing amount in the 1st code.
So basically it is not a bonus for a specific event, just a correction amount.
Yes it is not the first time, it has happened several times already and it shows the honesty from Stake to their players.

Ah I still have doubts like something is wrong  my total wager this week is $3k usually i get weekly bonus between $12-15 but this week seems to be doubled as you can see in this screenshot , do you feel this week's bonus is more than usual?  ah whatever it is anyway thank you stake we are waiting for moments like this in the future  Smiley



Does that mean you were able to claim the bonus two times. If so, it is due to the URL change by the team. The same is being notified on the telegram announcement channel. Anyhow it is lucky and I find the bonus to be similar as the previous weeks and there is nothing changed different.
2684  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Still haven't sold a bit of BTC since 2013... if I can do it you can do it too! on: January 29, 2022, 12:23:15 PM
Rather than keeping it idle for such a long term, Op could've done something to increase the holding. From the statement of Op he has never sold bitcoin which is really appreciable. Everyone isn't able to do it, because of the difference of understanding about the market as well as the difference in financial status..

Myself too very confident about the bitcoin growth though I believed it without any big understanding at the beginning. Due to the financial need I wasn't able to keep hold for long term. As said, if OP can do others can also do which is true. Maybe users who have good sum of money after meeting all needs can keep buying bitcoin forthe long term profiting.

For users who weren't a professional gamer and haven't spend more time on gaming find the blockchain games to be interesting as it brings some earning out of the time spend. For users who are good in games and have been using advanced equipments find it to be boring, because it requires lot of development which can't be done within short time period. Also everything getting connected to the blockchain makes it even a harder task to give the best result to the players.
2686  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are spectacular returns over for bitcoin? on: January 28, 2022, 11:22:17 PM
Spectacular returns are not over for bitcoin. I think the pandemic potentially made this bull run lighter than it otherwise would have been/ it’s fine, we will see over 150k in 2025 the next bull run after 2024 halving. Maybe it’s bearish years now but 2025 rise a lot.
Pandemic have played a big role in the progress of bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. During the pandemic market became more visible to the common people. Slowly people got much aware about it and started investing. This is where the change happened, if not we would've experienced a slower growth by now. There is more chance for a bear market until the halving, and this doesn't move deep down. The market will fluctuate and move within limits than reaching big.

Right now, we have Quetta Gladiators vs Peshawar Zalmi with Zalmi won toss and choose field right now Gladiators doing very good and their openers having 125 just in 13 overs with Ahsan Ali and Will Smeed both are on attack in this season new-look Gladiators are looking very good, and they can give some shocks to favourite teams even having chance to win this title again under Sarfraz captaincy.
This time the Quetta Gladiators have got shocked by the performance of Peshawar Zalmi. Once after scoring 190 runs Quetta Gladiators were very confident with the score to bring them the win. Peshawar Zalmi lost 3 wickets within 100 runs whereas Quetta Gladiators lost their first wicket at 155 runs. Every player had their contribution and finally Shoaib Malik took the responsibility and took the match to the winning mark with two balls left.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If football is Legal in most countries why is Gambling Prohibited on: January 28, 2022, 10:00:14 PM
Every government that regulates gambling can allow betting on some events, they don't want casinos in their country but they can allow football or boxing or even horse racing betting, it's up to the government what kind of gambling they would like to regulate but about your thread football is a sport it was not created for people to gamble, gambling operators just use football for people to gamble.
Agreed, the OP seems to have it backwards, it gives me the impression he thinks that sports exist just for people to gamble, when it is the other way around, people enjoy sports on their own and there are a few that like to spice things up a little bit by also gambling on their favorite sport.

And since governments make the laws they can decide if they ban gambling completely, if they allow some gambling games while banning another forms of gambling or if they allow almost all forms of gambling, it is up to them and while I would prefer that most governments were progressive on that topic at the end of the day we need to follow whatever regulations we have in our country, fortunately for me I live in a country in which gambling is allowed so I do not have to hide my preferences at all, as it happens to some other members that live in other countries.


the OP needs to revisit his post and maybe differentiate gambling vs sports. because he only provided the definition of gambling but he forgot to post the definition of sports. so maybe, he will understand that sports itself is a stand-alone industry
so yes, sports can exist even without gambling. and since every country has their own stance towards gambling activities, they can impose whatever they deem necessary - according to their religion, culture etc.
it is not the case that if the sports is legal then gambling on the sports will be legal as well.
Agreed, gambling and sports are different industries. Here sports industry have the ability to move on its own. The gambling industry is much dependent over the sports industry, but for the same OP have misunderstood that gambling need to be legal when the sports is legal.

As said governments have different policies which portrays why gambling is illegal in the country. Also there were more sports/games are illegal in different countries. For example cockfights, there are countries and people yet conduct those games and gamble over it.
2689  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia's Central Bank proposes ban on Cryptocurrency trading and mining on: January 28, 2022, 09:33:21 PM
The Russian government seems to support the usage of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. For the same the government is working fast creating a roadmap for the ongoing year. Putin has mentioned about the technological need of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. In particular the mining has been getting formed as a big industry. Through this roadmap people will get to know about the regulation of bitcoin, identification of clients, establishments of liabilities. Anyhow this looks like a positive news from the country that has been making ban statements against bitcoin and cryptocurrencies quite often.

Data : Russia Prepares Roadmap for Bitcoin, Crypto Regulation
2690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kazakhstan cripping the bitcoin network on: January 28, 2022, 07:04:35 AM
In Kazakhstan the electricity usage have increased drastically. This is the prime reason why government have taken measures cutting the internet and shutting down the power. The energy consumption according to the data shows there is big difference from the mining industry. This means only a small percentage of people have done it in a legal manner with all paper works done.

When calculating the supply, it goes beyond the value. So, more number of illegal mining seems to happen around and this will affect the government revenue through taxation. What is being taken seems to be the step to regulate mining industry.

Most important thing is that you shouldnt really tolerate your greed because this would be the main thing would fucked you up.
Well this is the most important thing that everyone must remember --whether it is based on luck or a high chance of winning, controlling yourself from being greedy is the most important. I know how to play those based on luck games but I prefer those games that can be applicable by skills, you can increase your chances of winning through using your skills but if you don't know the game, which is better based on luck games which are very simple to anyone even a kid can do in based on luck games.
Greed is the major factor that makes an user loss everything. Whether you're winning or losing, you should have control over the funds. Many users including me don't have this. Myself used to play mostly the luck based Dice and other similar games. Here when we're lucky mind thinks of making even higher and go for high roll. Here losing begins and to recover the loss further bet value is rised and ends losing everything. Always self control over the money unlike the win/loss is a must.
2692  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Deep before the Raise on: January 27, 2022, 09:28:23 PM
This can be the deep before the raise. In reality the market reaction is due to several reasons that are connected. The FED meeting that has got postponed is stated as a reason for the market to get pushed some extent and fall back below $36k. Now institutions and whales consider it an opportunity to accumulate bitcoin. There is no change in the dollar inflation rate and the same is being postponed to the March month. The US dollar index is found above 97% strengthening the dollar. This has reflected on the global market decline along with cryptocurrency market.
2693  Economy / Economics / Re: One nation one currency... on: January 27, 2022, 08:49:06 PM
One nation one currency is always an imaginary thought. From the ancient days it is possible to see boundaries, different cultures, different languages and different civilization. This means people form a community and have their way of living which differs from other communities on different parts of the world. The same is being followed till date and people are much adopted to it rather than one nation one currency which in reality isn't a possible one.
2694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fate of bitcoin in Russia on: January 27, 2022, 07:57:48 PM
It is common to see more news coming from countries like Russia, India and China. In recent days Pakistan too have got added to the list. Russia is a supportive nation and more active participants of cryptocurrencies in the early days were from Russia. If there were regulations surely people could've stopped using it. So Russia have got a big role in cryptocurrency market growth. Now also this is going to be a step to regulate and use without any financial harm to the country. As of now discussions will continue and people will use on their own ways.

Afghanistan VS Netherlands

This is the third and final match of the series. Afghanistan has won the previous two matches. They have dominated in both the matches. The pitch assists the bowlers. And since the bowlers in Afghanistan are more experienced than the bowlers in the Netherlands, it is becoming easier for Afghanistan to win the match. In today's match, Afghanistan collected 93 runs in 24 overs. They lost only one wicket. Today it looks like Afghanistan will set a target of over 250 and as usual, they will easily win the match.
Afghanistan's batting is very slow. Because they know they can win even if the target is not too high. Afghanistan collected only 183/3 in 42 overs. They have not lost too many wickets but the players are still wasting too much ball. Their striker rate is below 100. Now they should collect at least 60 runs in the last 8 overs. But looking at their batting, it doesn't look like they can do it. I think their innings will end between 225-230.

In the last 8 overs, Afghanistan managed to score 71 runs and was able to give a huge target of 255 runs. It is not expected that the Netherlands will win by batting with such a big target. As usual, the Netherlands has also lost this match. They managed to score 179 runs. The Netherlands lost all their wickets in 42.4 overs. Afghanistan has won all the matches of the series.
In all the three matches Afghanistan was batting first. In the first match Netherlands won the toss and elected to bowl. In the last two matches Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first. Maybe if Netherlands have bat first, they might've touched 200 runs. Anyhow the team is slowly making its move. Compared to the strength of Afghanistan, Netherlands need to improve lot.

Accusations were common when it comes to gambling sites, some are even created without any reason. Whatever the accusation, if the user have given strong proof then the particular platform is supposed to clarify and resolve the issue. When platforms doesn't do this, those platforms won't be used anymore. Myself once encountered an issue with a gambling site, requested help. There is little delay from the support team, but they solved my issue. This adds more value towards the platform even though I've encountered a problem.
2697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your criteria to go back/sticking with one particular gambling house on: January 25, 2022, 09:34:57 PM
I've been used to a particular gambling site. I find it to be a trusted one. Apart its reputation, trust, promotion, VIP programs I've lost big on this platform. This makes me have hope and spend further on the same platform, maybe someday I'll get back what I've lost. To what extent this is gonna come true isn't known, but I'm running for it.
2698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling In Crypto on: January 24, 2022, 10:27:35 PM
Gambling industry is one among the biggest industry that is turning towards cryptocurrency. Gamblers give a try and stick to it. Here users find the ease of making bets than the fiat. Fast settlements on the wins. There are sites that can be used without KYC. Likewise more and more features make people look for an alternate from the regular online gambling with fiat.
2699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: January 24, 2022, 07:17:29 PM


But overall i do agree with your post. PIG-3 players, especially Indian players gets only a slap on the wrist for any disciplinary breach.


Clearly ICC is in hands of big 3 and there players enjoy powers of these boards. Australia already have supreme powers in cricket along with England but now India has surpassed them. There is no regulating body in cricket right now as anyone who is financially rich can do whatever he wants. Irony.
This is the reality. BCCI being one of the richest sports organization have gained more power. As said it was Australia and England that had control over ICC, and now it is the decision of India. Many time this has come out as a big issue, but nothing has caused a change. Nowadays politics too have begun to enter the organisation which is really bad for sports growth.

Normally, you will hardly find a casino that avoided those scam accusations on the web. I think that online casinos use those "scam accusation" schemes as a kind of elbowing as the competition is hard in this area. But in fact, you will hardly find a casino scamming people. Some punters lose money, others break rules. Casino's edge allows those sites to stay alive and even to earn money. I always treat those scam accusations with big scepticism, as they have no real ground at all. A casino may scam you in one single case, I think, when you have won a big amount and they don't want to pay you. But this is a rare case. Normally, casino has enough profit to cover its losses that were caused by a lucky gambler.
Say no more to 1xbit Grin so many people already got scammed in this casino, if you want easier to get scammed... 1xbit is your choice Tongue

The fact there's some casinos is trusted enough and really pay the winnings to the players, you can see in this board. They might have a accusations were their players complaints, but the legit casinos will always resolving the cases ASAP. If they didn't resolving the problem and the accusations is legit, their reputations will be ruined just because a single accusations. So it's really a concern to choose a casino who have active representative in this forum.
Yes, every gambling site have got accusation. As said the trusted platform solve the issue to keep the reputation strong. Even some tend to create unwanted accusation, but site representative used to give the proper response. Apart from this the legitimacy is once again proved through having brand ambassadors.
