Different people have got difference of opinion when it comes to keeping the winning amount in the wallet. According to me, it is not that good to hold/save bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on the gambling platforms Wallets. It is good to transfer the required amount for gambling to the respective platform and make use of it. I personally prefer to withdraw if the target is being achieved and I've never kept big funds in gambling platforms, because it triggers me to wager and the same could end up losing everything.

Where did you watch this match  Huh

It would have been better if they could include International players in the teams/leagues otherwise who is interested to see local players from Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain and other gulf countries?

Also, this series is happening at Doha and they have enough money and resources to engage the international audience.

These days almost every cricket match is available on facebook live streaming. This is Gulf Cricket T20I Championship where 6 teams from Gulf region are participating. All 6 teams are supposed to have local players in there playing 11 but they have included players mostly from south asia. This is the main reason why Gulf countries have not progressed in cricket despite spending huge money in this sports. 

I've tried with the streaming on Facebook. The page keeps on redirecting and finally unable to find the streaming. I used to watch the scores, today we've got the match between UAE and Oman. The toss is over, Oman have won the toss and chosen to bowl. Gulf countries have progressed and taken better place. The players are mostly from Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. Atleast the country is represented and over time we can experience better participation from the local players/native citizens.

Everyone used to take the right quantity. Things beyond the limit gonna be troublesome. For some players it is normal to have good stamina and good power. Some used to achieve it through regular fitness training whereas some go with these kind of drugs. As said, almost everyone will be taking, while the body that reacts get caught. Recently one of the sporting authority planned of conducting Olympic games with no restrictions on doping. The event didn't take place, but this is how the thinking.

Frankly, seems pretty logical to me to legalize doping in some sports. Everybody knows that top athletes are doing it so why pretend they're fighting it? Times change, they have replaced linesmen with cameras, "hawk eye" etc in tennis, video judges in football so why not allow doping in cycling for example as everyone is obviously doing it anyway?  Grin
Over time changes have happened with each and every sports, however allowing it could affect the medical industry. In the process of enhancing performance we can see players using drugs that are meant for other needs. Already the athletes and in other games they're allowed with limitations. If doping is allowed with every game without limitations, surely this would affect the sporting around the world as well as loss the importance of sports.

What do you all think of this?
Is doping widespread in the ATP and WTA Tennis ?
Was Halep very unlucky to be caught?


I think every athlete (in any sport) who wants to be and stay in the world elite takes substances that are not allowed. One does it smarter and the other gets caught. It is a farce to talk about a sport without doping. Even Amateur athletes take permitted substances to get better.  At some point the body and the genetics reach a limit and one cannot go any further. Then one have to make a decision. Whether not to play at the top or to take illegal performance-enhancing substances to get to the top of the world. Very few people would decide against it.

I actually disagree. If people are consistent enough, they do not have to use these things in my opinion. You have to be very disciplined and have to maintain consistency as a player to actually reach the top of the competition. If any kind of performance enhancing drug is introduced in this situation, and more people are actually performing well than they should be, it is not going to be special anymore, is it?

There have been people who have been playing, consistently at the top of the competition for a very long time without taking anything like those. And that’s how it should be. That creates more competition in my opinion. And without those performance enhancing things, people will know that they have to work hard. And there is no other way. But I do agree on one thing some people do it smart and the others get caught.

A player has trained for a long time and is well prepared for a tournament. 1 week before, he notices he is getting a cold. I do not think he just drinks warm tea with lemon and eats little more fruits

And I not really assume that all the top players and athletes in the various kind of sports (soccer, Tennis, athletics, swimming etc.) are only at the top because their genetics are good, they do a plant based diet and yoga and taking an icecold tub after the training.

Certainly, there are exceptions. And we all have seen them, the talents of the century. But they are in the minority. But nevertheless, at some point they will also be in the situation of quitting or playing this one more game with illegal performance-enhancing substances.

WTA players are also known to take some drugs to delay or suspend their periods. I also woudn't be surprised if I found out some players like Maria Sakkari are using male hormones (anabolic steroids). Some others are born like that - for example Astapenko's average forehand speed is higher than Murray's because she is naturally very strong.

No one had watched the big scoring match between Australia and South Africa. As said in the previous post everyone have fallen for the Asia Cup and missed other ODI matches. 4th ODI of the 5 match series between Australia and South Africa had taken place yesterday. With the agressive performance of Klaasen scoring 174 runs from just 83 balls, South Africa have reached 416/5 in 50 overs. Australia failed to reach the target losing the match by 164 runs. This win have leveled the series 2-2 and much interested to watch the final ODI.

People who are with good money never try to express their wealth to the outer world. Most of the time it is the middle class family that starves for a life style similar to the rich ones. This had made them go on things that are really not that needed, but to show them high to the outer world used to spend much on these devices. Everything is a marketing gimmick to keep the consumers go for new products everytime something is brought to the market. Also the middle class used to be the major population and for that reason they're the much targeted ones.

I've experienced big loss and I've made myself on the right track. However I wasn't able to keep myself away from the gambling habit for a longer time period. What makes me better than the past is the losing amount. Compared to the old days I've set my limits and never go beyond. This keeps my living undisturbed in all situations and I've shared my losing experience in a thread so that someone into hard addiction could get out of it.

Was nice to see Djokovic win his 24th Grand Slam which I believe puts him out in front, alone, as the most successful player in the history of the sport.

Happy to hear that he doesn’t plan to retire just yet - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-12504207/amp/Novak-Djokovic-jokes-leave-tennis-24-years-Serbian-insisting-retirement-isnt-mind-doesnt-want-leave-sport-Open-triumph.html

Yeah, it's amazing how this guy still manages to find motivation to play at this level. And take into account he could have won at least 2-3 more Slams if he would get vaccinated. That's insane.
He doesn't have the plan to retire and he have kept his body in a better way compared to many other players of his age who are into break for injury. We've got two possibilities of he had got vaccinated. Maybe he could've won few more grand slams, at the same time there is also possible chances of feeling himself down as the vaccinations have made people feel unhealthy.
289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket Asia Cup 2023! Which team will WIN? on: September 14, 2023, 11:52:54 PM

Everyone predicted the match to be a win for Sri Lanka, but none expected this to be this unlucky match for Pakistan. Based on the DLS method Sri Lanka have to reach the score 252 and they made it without a ball left. In terms of score both the teams were equal, but it was win for Sri Lanka based on the DLS method. In some form it looks not the right choice, but in bad weather forecast the authorities also doesn't have any other choice than sticking to these kind of rules.
I won't say they were unlucky because the Lankans were bossing the match till 37 overs, even after Shanaka got out they were the favorite as they had a couple of batters left.

Pakistan only got a small window when Afridi took back to back wickets and that time they had a wonderful chance. Also, Babar is a dreadful captain. He looked clueless throughout the 2nd inning and at death overs his field placements were incredibly horrible.
Sri Lanka was very strong as the third wicket brought solid partnership. Once after that wickets started to fall at regular interval. In one way it can be said as unlucky, because the team that was on the losing side got an opportunity and then the same turned to be a loss. Good performance from Kusal Mendis, Sadeera and Asalanka.

Sri Lanka vs India

Today is the 10th Asia Cup match of Super Four Zone. This is the second big match which will India play. And India already played a match with Pakistan with great performance. And now they will face the second big team Sri Lanka. So I can't say anything at this time because both teams are good and have good performance in previous matches. So this is really hard to predict at this time. So let's wait for the match. Smiley

India is the hot favourite in this contest. Their performance against Pakistan was phenomenal, and now they have the much-needed confidence to take the game away from any bowling lineup. Overall, SL is a good team with some good emerging fast bowlers, but they are badly missing the services of Hasaranga. Their batting is also chipping, but looking at the current form, I think India will win this game comfortably.
Before the India vs Pakistan match, the Pakistan bowling line-up were much into discussion as they're judged to be strongest. Once after the match everything had come against the discussion. In the press conference after the match, the head coach Bradburn have mentioned it as a timely reminder to give their best as they hadn't lost any matches over the three months time. Today India gonna play against Srilanka, which is much in favour of India.
291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI on: September 12, 2023, 03:56:41 AM
This is first time I have seen Pak women team winning a match against a strong team. I don't know whether SA has sent there full strength team or testing new players in stead? This is first win of Pak Women team in there last five encounters, they have lost 4 out of 5 matches played. This is just first match and there are 2 more ODIs to be played, series is still very much opened.

South Africa managed to win the second ODI by a good margin. They are going through a state of flux, after the retirement of some of the key players. Also, Pakistan had the home advantage, as the matches are being played at the National Stadium in Karachi. This time they managed to bundle out Pakistan for a total of just 168 (Pakistan was struggling at 49/6, but then a partnership between Aliya Riaz and Fatima Sana added a lot of respectability to their innings). Experienced South African bowlers, including Ayabonga Khaka, Masabata Klaas and Nadine de Klerk scripted the victory for Proteas this time. Right now the series is tied 1-1. Final match of the series will be played on 14th September.
South Africa Women team have already won the 3 match ODI series 2-0. In the first ODI South Africa Women team won by 127 runs as they defended Pakistan Women for 165 runs while chasing the target of 292 runs. In that two centuries came from Sune Luus 107* runs and Marizzane scoring 100 runs.

The second ODI once again a win for the South Africa Women team. Now Pakistan Women team will be focusing to win the last match and avoid the whitewash of the series. The final ODI is scheduled for 14th September. Today we've got South Africa vs Australia men's cricket. It is very interesting as South Africa needs to open its winning to have the possibility of winning the series, if not the series goes into the hands of Australia.

India vs Pakistan

India - 356/2
Pakistan - 128

India have won the match by 228 runs.
Best bowling performance, kuldeep Yadav 5/25

India performed really well. The opening partnership is the reason for such a big run from India. The pressure on the bowlers were well utilised by the Indian batsmen. Pakistan batsmen weren't able to build good partnership. The top score from Pakistan being 27 runs Fakhar Zaman. When it comes to India vs Pakistan, the dominance of India continues.
293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the Difference Between Plying Gambling on Online Sites and Real Casinos? on: September 11, 2023, 05:15:29 PM
Based on what I've watched on different videos, I find real casinos were more of a luxury place where the rich can spend. Another thing, real casinos were something much on entertainment. Here gamblers will get access to gambling along with more other added elements like stay, restaurants, etc. With online gambling, the platforms dedicatedly function for gambling. These day the anywhere accessibility have made most of the common people prefer online casino. Basic difference Real casino is for the rich whereas the online gambling is for everyone  Wink
294  Economy / Economics / Re: How to developed your capital on: September 11, 2023, 05:03:35 PM
At present most of the youths are most unable to accumulate their capital because they can never observe this properly. The steps taken by the youth to earn their money are lost and spent in various ways. When a person has money he spends more than he needs and once he finds that he has no money he becomes destitute. And some time spend so much money that the saved money is spent and it develops negatively. So saving money and not overspending if they create a capital where people's money will be useful for future, would be a good step. Moreover, if you keep investing, it will be possible to earn good income in the future, so good strategies should be adopted so that a person can preserve his capital well.

Times have changed and been a youth is not has easy has everyone is thinking, especially when you done with school  its very challenging. The problem is not about observing but the question is were do start gathering capital from, not that you can rely on government for support or anything, but you can get loan or get a job and save no matter how little it is, but it won't be easy because of the expenses  are just too much. Saving and not spending is that even possible, like I said earlier just look for small investment to safe up at least working and your investment double earnings. Little beginnings are also appreciated.
The spending increases when one have got good sum of money. By the time we should also think why the spending increases when we have big money. The major reason I understand is the increasing price, which means we're experiencing atleast 50% rise whereas the salary rise is to the maximum 30% and this difference is felt when a person spends. What can be done, save as much possible through all possible means. Apart from this we should find ways to generate passive income.

This is the statement from the former PayPal president. He had understood the technology advancement happening around and the advantage it had got over the traditional system. It is a must situation to move along with the need than just trying to matchup with the traditional system.

Earlier Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal have said in an interview that if they had known blockchain technology earlier they could've used it. In such case bitcoin could've gained importance as payment source, however things hadn't favoured. So, there are more positive thoughts on bitcoin and it's backing technology.

What a comeback by KL Rahul! After being out of the team for six months, he got this opportunity to play in place of Iyer. Cashing this opportunity at its best Rahul, if he continues in this manner a comeback century can be expected from him. Only 2 wickets are gone and India has already scored more than 220 runs. I am expecting India to go for a target which will be more than 300 runs. India wants that extra cushion in case DLS comes into play. As of now, the clouds have not cleared the sky fully they are still hovering around. Good strategy by the Indian batter one of them going after bowlers aggressively and the other is rotating the strike.

Rauf not being able to play today is a piece of bad news for Pakistan. They are struggling to find a bowler to replace him. At the moment Pakistan is on the back foot. Bowlers are struggling against the two-set Indian batters. Pakistan needs to break this partnership which is more than 100 runs now.  At the moment India is dominating the match.
Good partnership have come for India. After 40 overs the score is 251-2 with Rahul at 72* and Kohli at 57* and in the next 10 overs atleast 100 runs expected as the team have got more 8 wickets left. It is the fourth time all the top four players scoring half century.

Rauf unable to play today's match is really a bad news for Pakistan team. India is dominating the match, if Pakistan openers were able to make good partnership the match could turn anyway.

Powerplay 3 have come into effect and the same restrict with maximum five fielders outside the inner ring. Expecting the century from Rahul as he's nearing 75 runs.

Even with the reserve day the match doesn't gonna get result. The scheduled time had passed and the ground inspection continues. According to the latest update from the ground inspection team. The skies aren't very clear at the moment, however everyone are hoping for the start of the match at the earliest. As the precautionary measures the ground have been covered earlier. This had kept the ground in a better situation and everyone waiting for the update from the big match.

The match was supposed to start one hour back and now I feel they would reduce the number of overs. It is really a bad decision by the ACC to host the Asia Cup 2023 in Srilanka. They should have thought about the weather in this time of the year in Srilanka first. A few matches in the UAE would have been a brilliant idea. I have a feeling that the rain only interrupts whenever Pakistan and India are playing. All other matches where the rain interrupted did end on the same day.
With the available technology it is possible to know the weather condition weeks back itself. They should've made prior arrangements and scheduled the matches accordingly. The match is scheduled to start one and half hours ago and now it had begun. Everyone are hoping for a complete 50 over played by both the teams. Harish Rauf isn't going to bowl due to side strain. This could be advantage for India team.

Volatility is what makes an investor and also trader hopeful but sometimes regretfull because it has a two way effect and as it's good and beneficial for you as a trader that's the same way it's aslo dreadful when the volatility doesn't favour you. For bitcoin volatility is what made people like us who missed the early time bitcoin started to actually be able to buy now because of the constant fluctuation of price.
How the volatility benefits the people is based on the way the market is being observed and the decisions were made. Volatility is one among the best of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If the Market used to be stable we couldn't have got such a level of growth in the short time period.

Medvedev v Djokovic is under way now with the first game. The odds ATM are 2.6
to 1.5, Djokovic still favourite. This could have the makings of a 5 setter and I really
think Medvedev has a proper chance to take this title
 
Finally Djokovic have won the title. With the win Djokovic have won his 24th grand slam. Djokovic have won on direct sets, Daniil Medvedev have good fight back in the second set. However, he wasn't able to win the match. The result of the match stays as 6-3 77-65 6-3. Somehow there is little fight in the match than a single sided one.
300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto or Real estate on: September 10, 2023, 11:31:25 PM
Both have their own features and the backing based on which the value is generated. For both bitcoin and real estate the demand is the thing that creates the rise in the price. When it comes to real estate, the demand is completely based on the growth happening in the surrounding as well as the location where everything is easily accessed.

With bitcoin the technology backs everything and the limited supply is the best part. Being technology depending, the growth will continue as the demand seems to increase over time. However it is the person himself to choose, if not diversify and make the investment.
