Reviews should be based on the users and not on the self usage. For this you could create some of the pros and cons towards every platform. Users can select the pros and cons based on their experience and an additional space to mention anything else about the platform. Based on that providing ranks seems to be more effective than self evaluation.

Going through the site, it is possible to get detailed information on the different gambling platforms. We can easily understand about the bonuses and all other available features available on the gambling site. It looks more useful for the beginners who are in search of proper platform for their gambling needs.

Education on Sex is something necessary and it is all connected with our living. When it comes to gambling it is something that is connected with the materialistic life. There arises a question why can't a person live without having sex??? It is possible and the education is to give him the clarification on need of sex and how this has to be performed and the after effects if you go wrong.

When it comes to gambling, there is no reason to give a description why gambling is required in life. If we were able to point a clear picture on it, then it is fair to add gambling education on syllabus. It is purely entertainment based and educating on gambling could serve as a reason for students to try gambling.

Maybe it can be done as part of the moral class and it isn't necessary to be included in the school syllabus. Maybe at the university level it can be included, because in some part of the world children aren't much aware of gambling. Maybe educating things related to gambling could trigger them why don't we give a try.
283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: September 26, 2023, 10:43:45 PM
Once people get used to lottery, it becomes a habitual activity. I've seen people depending on daily wages for life, among the money earned they allocate for buying lottery. As in the opening post if we think of the possibility, $1 could buy big fortune. People always look for the possibility and not the probability. If we keep on calculating the probability, life won't be enjoyable and we will able to see barriers keep on popping infront of us.

Lottery addiction is quite rare, as people set their limits and never overspend as it takes time for the revealing of result. This means people never spend consecutively to recover the money spent on buying lotteries. On a combined scale individuals could've spent big money through habitual buying, but the impact it creates on a person is less compared to other forms of gambling where we keep on spending with the hope of recovering whats been lost in the previous roll.
284  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will BNB Coin Hit $300 Mark in 2023? on: September 25, 2023, 05:32:20 PM
At the moment, I think BNB will not go to $300 because of the recent news about Binance and the SEC opening an investigation against the exchange. This has been negatively impacting Binance. BNB might pump when there is the next alt season, but for the long term, it is advisable to stay away from any exchange coin 
You're right. BNB is unlikely to return to $300 this year because Binance case with SEC isn't over yet. Having a case with SEC always becomes an obstacle for any crypto coin to grow. But I'm sure Binance will win the case, there is no way for SEC to prove the accusation. So, all BNB holders must be patient to keep their coin until Binance wins the case.

Another reason why BNB seems difficult to reach $300 this year because we are still in the bearish season and even BTC is still difficult to return to $30k. Most of crypto coins are moving slowly, we looks like in a long sideways. But I'm optimistic that there will be a big change when 2023 is over and we begin the new year (2024).


Based on the growth chart, the price of BNB have reached around $330 this year during the first month. From there onwards the price had started to fall and the price have reached close to $210. There is no big move happening in the market. BNB is one among the leading cryptocurrency that assure with the profit. However every market is connected with the movements of bitcoin. So, this can be considered as the right time to accumulate as much BNB to profit when there is good bounce in the market. However next year there'll be good rise as bitcoin will be bullish by then.
285  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did anyone notice this pattern? on: September 25, 2023, 04:29:27 PM

2012 halving - New ATH reached around 1 year after
2016 halving - New ATH reached around 1.5 years after
2020 halving - New ATH reached around 1.5 years after
Such a pattern cannot be denied but on the other hand it cannot be relied upon to be absolutely certain that such a prediction is a certainty.
Indeed for the last 3 halvings as you said all have relatively the same time and some people including some influencers also say that 2025 is most likely the next ATH but again, these are just some predictions that occur by looking at some pre-existing data but in the end we also cannot rely on this as a form of confidence that 2025 or mid-2026 could be ATH because it is only hope not certainty.
Till date every halving have initiated the bullish move and the same have caused the market to reach new ath. Just on the same we cannot predict the price to reach new ath following the previous patterns of halving. With bitcoin the limited supply is a big factor that keeps the market progressive. There are people who had believed in the growth pattern to be the same and made decisions on their investment. Here people who had the ability to hold and maintain patience succeeded whereas the users who weren't able to hold it longer ended with minimal profit. So, it is all about the ability to hold that determines the profit amidst the growth/decline in the market.

Here are final standings of Asian Games Women's Cricket Competition:

India - Gold
Srilanka - Silver
Bangladesh - Bronze

After there men team winning Asia cup now its Indian women showing there dominance in Asia. Indian women gave a target of 116 runs batting first. In reply SL were only able to score 97 runs in there 20 overs quota. For 3rd position match, Bangladeshi women easily won there match against Pakistan.  

Indian women's team is far superior to all the women's Asian cricket team and it was obvious that they will win the final. Although I think that the Srilankan women's really bowled well to restrict India to only 116 runs, but they batted poorly. At 14 runs, the Srilanka team had lost three wickets and none of the batsmen showed to resist the Indian bowlers.

Titas Sadhu took three wickets and gave only 6 runs in her four overs, That was a game changing bowling by her. Rajeshwari Gayakwad also took two wickets and Indian bowlers managed to defend this small total.
The low scoring could've been a pressure for India Women team, but Titas Sadhu gave the relaxation taking three important wickets. The young girl Titas Sadhu had her debut against Bangladesh Women and it is her second match. Being the game changer in the very second match and being a reason to win gold medal is a big achievement. Sri Lanka Women team is short of 19 runs, maybe if the early partnership weren't broken match might've gone in favour of Sri Lanka Women.
287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 25, 2023, 02:37:21 PM
If India can pile up close to 400 runs against one of the best bowling lineups in the world, then imagine what they can do against weak teams such as Bangladesh and Netherlands. There is a good possibility that new records will be created and 500 plus totals will be scored. Anyway, the matches are being played in India and therefore there is good chance of pitches offering zero support for the bowlers (at least for the pace bowlers). Teams that doesn't have quality spinners, such as Australia, England and Pakistan are going to struggle.

you are right, India's batsmen have the ability to bat responsibly against any strong bowling attack and score big total. Australian bowlers are very experienced, also I thought Pakistan's pace bowling attack is the best in the world right now.  Against these two teams I have seen Indian batsmen perform brilliantly in recent times, this is why I think India is the most favorite team for this year's World Cup.

But the main problem of Indian batsmen is that their performance is somewhat erratic. We have seen India lose badly against Bangladesh, however I think the team will not make such a mistake in the World Cup. And this is the team we will see in the final of the World Cup...
The Indian teams are no doubt very strong nowadays and have good players. The team is good in both bowling and batting. If we talk about the bating then they face anyone and at least one of them definitely makes a century on the other side if you look at their bowling which is too good yesterday they out the Australian batsman on 9 runs. But it could be harder if we say that the Indian team wins this World Cup because there are other teams also that make efforts like England New Zealand and Pakistan to win this cup. During the Asian Cup matches between India and Pakistan were ruined by rain so the Pakistani team did not perform through rain but I think Pakistan will give the Indian team a very tough time in this World Cup.
Almost every team have the same problem. If the opening is good, automatically rest of the players will contribute the best. In the match between Australia and India, opening failed but the one down gave hands. This boosted the performance of the middle order and they were able to handle situation without much of pressure. We don't know how far will be the consistency in performance. Top teams on the list will have close competence in the World Cup matches. As said, real match between India and Pakistan hadn't taken place in the Asia Cup. During the World Cup this is going to be really interesting as the bowling unit of Pakistan is strong as India have already shattered the leading Australian bowling.

I'm not going to bet on Dolehide, but I'd like to remind everyone that Maria Sakkari lost 7 out of 8 finals she played. She also lost 2 out of 2 Masters finals in her career. Sakkari is known to have some psychological issues which are intensifying during finals. Therefore I'm not going to bet on this match.  Cool
We can't be sure of the winner. Both have played well from the beginning of the tournament defeating popular players to reach the finals. Particularly Dolehide have won the Round of 64 match against Stearns playing three deciding sets. This means first set won by Stearns and the remaining two sets were won by Dolehide reaching the deciding set. So, it shows how she had turned to be a player who confidently gives the best for a comeback and have the never giveup mind. We can't be sure of the winner, but the match is going to be closer as Sakkari is well experienced.

Well Sakkari got the job done against Dolehide in two sets. The first set was close
5-7 and after winning that took the second set easily enough.

Sakkari might have lost many previous finals but Dolehide didnt have a lot of experience
in finals which could have been a factor against Sakkari.

Maria deserved the win really after all those finals appearances.

Even though Sakkari did actually lose a lot of finals, however in this final her opponent was not very strong. So it was expected that she is going to win the final. And this was relatively easy for her to win. Great performance from her. Even though I did say that her opponent was not very strong, and that is a reason why she was able to win, but I still have to give credit to her. It is not easy to even reach the finals sometimes, let alone win the final.
Congratulations Maria Sakkari for winning the WTA Guadalajara title. The first set went closer and Maria Sakkari won it 7-5. Second set was an easy win with the scores being 6-3. For Dolehide it is the best in her single tournaments. Everything is an experience and this could keep her motivated and make her give the best in her further matches. Further Sakkari gonna play Japan Open, and lets see whether the victory continues.
289  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: September 24, 2023, 10:20:02 PM
If we look at Bitcoin history, every 4 year, the price of Bitcoin recovers its previous ATH before rallying to break and create a new ATH.  So @OP there is a huge chance that Bitcoin will recover or even exceed $69k but not this year.  It is more likely on the year 2025  when the market become bullish.  We need to have patience in order to witness Bitcoin recovering to $69k  again.  Avoid unnecessary Bitcoin selling because you will be missing out on profit when the Bitcoin market rallies.

Every individual should be setting their targets to 2025 because that's the year that the bullishness of the market will be back. We shouldn't be expecting it to happen in any year that isn't 2025. The market doesn't have enough positivity for we to see the price getting to the previous all time high. When we have positive news coming into the market the price will start rising and crossing $69,000 again won't be a big deal because the price will continue climbing higher.

There's hope for the market to end the year bullish but there no hope for we to have a new all time high this year. We'll be asking the market for too much if that's to be the target. As the market stands it's finding it difficult to break $27,000 and it might end the month that way.
2024-2025 seems to be the right year for the price to turn highly bullish. We've got more reasons for the same, and for the same we can't say that bitcoin won't rise this year. Even in 2023 the price could move high above $69k as the market is completely unpredictable. Right now the predictions were much connected with the halving and for the same reason everything is tied to 2024-2025.

As said the there is not much room for growth to cross the previous ath this year. This is true, and if something big in terms of adoption takes place we can expect the massive change in the market. Apart from this bitcoin ETF approval and few other positive response happening this year could boost the price and the market drastically. Lets see to what extent the growth gonna take place.

Best choice is make use of each and every opportunity. Rather than looking for the result, try to get adopted to the scenario with what you have. Over time slowly things will change based on the way you move forward. It is true, after COVID majority of the people in the lower middle class had suffered a lot compared to the rich and the poor. Rich have got the sufficient money and somehow they'll manage, and the poor have the mentality to live with what is available. The middle class suffer as they're in a situation whether to be poor or rich. Don't stress yourself, move on and the result awaits.
291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is life on: September 24, 2023, 10:06:05 PM
Based on the unpredictability people used to compare bitcoin along with gambling. This is common, and what is being said here is completely different. When it comes to investment it is always good to have diversified investment than just putting everything in a single basket. Maybe the percentage of money into bitcoin can be kept high against the investment on the rest of the coins. Bitcoin investment assure with profit and for the same reason we can't say altcoins are bad. There is good list of altcoins that have the potential to grow and have got good track record. Quite often we used to see some altcoins into problem and users losing funds. With investment we've got risks and for the same if we stay away it is the lack of understanding we've got over investment.

In Brazil you can find many people with high talents they can have good performance in the next years when they get older but the problem with these people is they don't have good coaches to guide them. That's how Brazil loses talent they have because of the weak management they have, while other countries and especially the European countries will try to develop all the talent they have.
That's how Brazil is losing its power in the world.

There is big number of soccer talents all over the country. However limited players gets opportunity and the same is being utilised as a way to make money. In the name of getting opportunity to play different leagues people were bribed. This is commonly found everywhere and in larger extent the corruption throughout the country is another reason why the real talents gets hidden. The government is working with anti-corruption agencies ana all, however to get effective outcome is simply hard. When there is no corruption people will get proper coach and other support from the government to keep their talents growing.
293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 24, 2023, 03:16:27 PM
but they way Ireland played is quit impressive and have ability to bounce back in last match.

I really like the way they tried to chase this big score of 334 runs and were short only by 48 runs. Being the underdog team, this batting performance was too good for me. Although none of the players scored a 50 in this match from Ireland but the good thing is that everyone contributed to reach close to 300 runs. Players who came down the innings like George Dockrell , Barry McCarthy and Craig Young , all contributed good 40+ runs and helped their team reach close to the target given by the England team.

Remember the first ODI was abandoned by rain, this one England won. I hope to see another thrilling ODI between the two teams on 26 September at Bristol.
Ireland tail end players contributed good runs chasing the target. Good partnership at the beginning could've made this match go even closer, as Ireland have lost all the wickets with 20 balls remaining. One more match left and Ireland could try its best to win and level the series. Ireland is one among the team that performance well at times and goes completely down in the very next match. It needs to gain experience and maintain consistency.

Thanks for sharing the information. This would help many gamblers stay on the safer side. When it comes to money we never think about the after effects. We just agree and go for it without a second thought. This will be a learning and surely if someone receive any such pm regarding profit sharing one can stay out of it. Once we get into money laundering or any such problems, it is really hard and we can't prove that it doesn't belong to us or we haven't involved in it.

People from these countries can benefit holding bitcoin and overcome the prevailing inflation. As a country it Is really tough to manage the inflation through bitcoin. Just think of a situation, country holding good volume of bitcoin as reserve and the country is facing worst economic situation and inflation at its high. What can the reserve bitcoin do, it'll be a small percentage to the entire economy. In other way the same can make the situation even worse, if the bitcoin market is found at its low when the country is in need of the reserve to be used.
296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has your Responsible Gambling had any of these Effects on You? on: September 23, 2023, 12:39:32 PM
I've lost big in gambling. Over and over I kept myself active into gambling to recover what I've lost. This made me go further into losing and at some point my debt went to the peak. At times I used to win, but considering the loss I've experienced what I win is very small. Finally I made myself strong to keep things under control and nowadays the loss is much minimised. Now slowly I've been decreasing my debt and hope this continues.

Gambling should never be considered a way to multiply what we have in the wallet. When our thinking gets connected to money making automatically our minds won't be free. Better is to spend what one can afford to loss and should never involve the money for living into gambling. Enjoy the profit if won, if not end it when the limit gets over. Never spend a dollar beyond the limit which is gonna be the root cause for big loss.
297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: September 23, 2023, 12:24:34 PM

Want to get rid of gambling as demand is at a point where it is difficult to refrain from. In addition to these the way to prevent gambling addiction will depend on the person's own wishes. If there is any other emotional stress problem or big event beyond the gambling, it should also be well analyzed. Whenever you want to gambling online, you will work away from the phone. You can go somewhere for a few days or go to relatives' house the last thing is to stay away from the phone so that the gambling will return to normal.

If you want to stop gambling addiction, the first step you must take is to tell the people closest to you, such as your family or wife, about your situation. They will give you control to avoid gambling, whether online gambling or land casinos. If that's not enough, then limit yourself from accessing deposits on gambling sites, maybe you need to delete mobile banking and empty all crypto assets so that when the urge to gamble arises you don't have access to deposits on gambling sites. It does take hard work and determination to stop gambling addiction, but it is not impossible, it is better to stop before you lose everything
Many of us recommend changing places occasionally to curb gambling. But if the gambler goes to the same place and does the same work in online then there is no point in changing the place. Similarly, if a gambler shares his gambling with other family members, he will get a lot of support from the family. But the biggest thing that works for this is personal awareness. If the gambler can do deep research about gambling and gets a good idea about it then he can definitely control himself. But many people can not control their emotion and for them pressure from family can help them from addiction.

Or just make yourself busy so that you won't think of playing online. Sometimes I just phone my phone on the other room, not beside me so that I won't think of depositing and playing. Although I have my laptop to play, I prefer my games though using my phone.

No sure why is this so, but I guess because I can even play when I was lying down in my bed and obviously I can't do that with my laptop. So just to minimized my online gambling, I put my phone away from me. I don't bother someone calling me and not answering it. I can just check it back someone from the other room like my kids calling me if they see that my phone is ringing.
Thats really good, because most of the common man into online gambling prefer spending the time on smartphones. Keeping it away gives good result, and I also follow the same practice. Another thing I never keep my gambling account logged in or have my password saved. Doing so will ease me to get into the platform and gamble whenever required. Keeping the account logged off wants me to login to use it. You could follow this too.

Online gambling are at the best, because we get the best access without any lag on any devices we use. So, we need to be cautious and have limitations set. If not, things could go bad and losing our funds doesn't take much time. At times we get the urge to gamble, by the time we should deviate ourselves towards something else. This could help in staying away from addiction.

NZ tail-enders are performing really well at the moment which could prove to be a big problem for Bongs who should have bundled them within 220 itself after breaking the Nicholls-Blundell partnership earlier.

Sodhi and Jamieson are stitching together what could possibly be a match-winning partnership.
The contribution from the tail end have made New Zealand reach 254 runs. Looking at the scorecard of New Zealand, almost every player have scored little runs except few players who lost their wickets scoring single digit runs. Considering the average score on the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, today's score from New Zealand is good to defend. However Bangladesh being the home team have got its advantage. There is not much of difference on the result based on the team batting first and second. On a small difference batting second have won Matches out of the 128 matches played. Lets see what Bangladesh gonna do.

Al Nasrr Al Ahli now live!!!, i think i never gonna say this but, looks like a european top match if you look ath the starters from both teams. I think im gonna watch this game to see how much effort they put in this league and in important matches.

The game play from nassr and ahli pretty much the same like european match. It's so baffling to see how ronaldo was scoring two goals. Ahli was not playing so badly in this match, but nassr is still superior compared with al ahli at this time.
Ahli needs to improve its defensive lines. The match between stars. That's what i called the match between al ahli vs nassr.

Mahrez and kessie were scoring for al ahli but that's not enough.
The ground is completely packed and we were able to see yellow flags all around in support of Al-Nassr. Al-Ahli Saudi team is no down to Al-Nassr in performance. The team played the best and competed good, though they weren't able to win the match. Al-Nassr dominated the match from the beginning making 3 goals in the first half and fourth goal once the second half got started. Al-Ahli Saudi made good comeback with its two goals coming from the second half. Talisca and Ronaldo did it for Al-Nassr, and in terms of shots and target focused shots Al-Ahli Saudi team got good opportunities which were missed. Anyhow the heat of the league keeps increasing over every match as the points table position is moving with very small difference between teams.

It is not with the gambling platforms, people never go through the terms and conditions with most of the service. One major reason, they weren't written in a simple format. They were elaborated much and it makes people get bored and lose interest reading it. Can be precise in few points so that key elements can be understood. Everything used to be in a complex manner, so that people just ignore and the same can be taken advantage by the platform.

The need for terms and conditions arise when we get caught in any of the problem and our funds were withheld. Atleast some basic terms and conditions should be read or we should have the understanding, so that we can avoid unwanted issues arising during our gameplay.
