Luck is the main factor that helps with the winning on Casinos. For better bank roll management gamblers used to follow some techniques. This limits the spending and lets the gambler to take break at right time to avoid loses. However there is always risk and we can't be sure of the winning.

Different games have got varied house edge, depending upon that there will be increase/decrease in the chance of winning.

Pakistan have set a target of 268 runs. Afghanistan have started the chase in the right way. Maybe if Afghanistan team can avoid the wicket fall and develop opening partnership this is going to be a win for Afghanistan, and the first wicket have fallen at 17 runs. Pakistan having the best bowling line-up have got the ability to defend. Lets see if this is going to be a win for Afghanistan to avoid the whitewash.

In all the three Matches the toss winning team had decided to bat first. In this match once again Pakistan have won the toss and decided to bat. Past two matches were played in Rajapaksa International Cricket stadium. This time the venue is different and in the Premadasa stadium the average score is around 250 runs. The winning percentage of teams batting first and bowling bowling first hadn't got much difference. Expect this match to be different from the first two matches.

Al-Nassr had a bad start to the season. After 2 games without a win, today they were 2-0 up at half time against Al-Fateh. Al-Nassr dominated the game in the first half. Al-Nassr had 15 shots and Ronaldo finished with 1 goal and 1 assist in the first half. More goals are likely in the second half. No goals have been scored yet in the other games. I can say that Al-Shabab and Al-Taawon could score in the second half. We can say that the hosts played more dominant football.

Good to see both Sadio Mané and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring for Al Nassr. Before this match, Al Nassr was at the 16th position, after having lost both of their opening matches. The win today will help them to move to 10th position. But it is still disappointing. Looking at the squad strength, Al Nassr is the strongest team in Saudi Professional League. But then no one expected them to lose matches against Al Ettifaq and Al Tawoun. Hopefully today's win will start a chain reaction and they will be able to improvise further in the coming matches.
This match winning is confirmed, as said it is really mind-blowing to watch both Sadio Mane and Ronaldo scoring for the team. Now it looks like the competence is between Sadio Mane have scored 2 goals and Ronaldo have scored 3 goals for his part and Al-Nassr have won the match 5-0. Earlier Sadio Mane scored against Al-Ettifaq and for Ronaldo this is the first of the season. After this match we can expect big progress from the team as the expected ones have begun to do their best.

Afghanistan should have won this match. In recent times, they have lost too many close matches. Losing a match even after scoring more than 300 runs in an ODI match is inexcusable. I would still say that Afghanistan is performing better than Ireland, but if they want to stay relevant in international cricket, then they need to perform better than this. Until that happens, they will be considered as a tier-2 test nation, at a level that is much below weaker full member nations such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and West Indies.

Afghanistan lost even after doing a Mankad runout. They are only good while playing against Pakistan and there performance against top teams like Australia, NZ and England is still way below average. Majority of Afghanistan cricketers have started cricket in Pakistan before getting selected for Afghanistan. The attitude of Afghanistan players towards is very aggressive and that's something hard to digest.
Thats a wrong perception about Afghanistan team playing agressive against Pakistan team and below average performance against the leading teams. In all its recent matches Afghanistan have played really well, particularly it won against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and in its last encounter against Australia in a T20 match it lost just by 4 runs. I don't see them in that way, if so what to say about the performance in the first ODI. I see Afghanistan is doing well unlike the team and at times disappointing with worst performance.

Well if you are avoiding exchanges I guess storing your coins in the casino will be a good option if meant also to gamble some of them.

It's uncommon to store coins in a casino unless you meant to bet. The majority if not all will store their coins in an installed wallet if you meant to hold and save the coins for the bulllrun. I wanna see how it ends though for someone who keeps their coins in a casino.
Avoiding exchanges and looking for a way to hold cryptocurrency expecting bullish trend is really common thinking among the people. However when we hold cryptocurrency in gambling sites we'll have the intention to gamble. We should have control on gambling or we can use the vault feature which seems to be better than the regular wallet available on the casinos.

In a few moments we will watch the match between Al-Fateh against Al-Nassr and in this match Ronaldo and his friends must steal 3 points if they want to get their first victory in the saudi league competition. In the last 5 meetings between the two, Al-Nassr really dominated with 4 wins and 1 draw. It's clear that even if it's an away game for Al-Nassr they can definitely win it. Apart from that, if we look at the confirmed formations from Al-Nassr there are the names Otavio and Laporte who are Al-Nassr's new recruits and this will mark their debut. I don't think Al-Nassr needs to win big in this match, they just need to win 0-2 to be very safe to get full points.

Al Nassr scored one goal against Al Fateh so far as we were expect to see for them to show better performance because of the much better and expensive players they brought in this summer. For Al Nassr, Sadio Mane scored the goal and if I'm not wrong it's his first goal he scored for this Saudi team after he joined this team. The performance of Al Nassr was good enough in this game to show they can be a strong competitor for other teams in the Saudi Leage.

Ronaldo have come up with his contribution. In the 38th minute Ronaldo have scored a goal on the open net. First half of the match have come to an end. Al-Nassr leads 2-0 and based on the statistics Al-Nassr is at its best in ball possession. Based on the shots on the target and the corners played Al-Nassr could've scored atleast 4 or 5 goals.

If you have knowledge in trading with the technical analysis and how does the market works, economy and the smart money concept you can easy identify what are the possible signals that the market would do.
This serve as a preparation for your next buy or sell of your holdings. Not always dip is the bottom and not always pump is the ATH, if you prepare for this you can make a better position to execute your buy and sell opportunities
However you should also know to differentiate the cryptomarket from the traditional stock market trading, because with certain techniques the market moves can be predicted precisely. The same isn't possible with cryptocurrency. This makes the investment riskier and the waiting to experience the bottom price a difficult task.

In comparison to the peak price reached over the years time it is good to consider a price to buy. If the specific price point have got touched it is good to go with it rather than waiting long and missing opportunities.

Do you guys think this league will outlive this surge of players? They are all old and most of them will retire within 5 years.

Would you watch this league once Ronaldo and Neymar weren't playing there? I'm watching the MLS only because of Messi, if he misses a game I'm instantly disinterested.

MLS isnt intresting without Messi,he is the only one that is holding intresting regarding this league. In saudi arabia its different because now there are really many elite players in the league. Ronaldo opened the way and now this league looks like it will be an elite one in a couple of years. But still they have a lot to go to reach a top level
With the move of Ronaldo towards the Saudi Arabia Pro League more number of star players have begun to sign deals with different teams of Saudi Arabia Pro League. This had made it a big league than the past. The Saudi Arabia Pro League have got a big history, to that we weren't able to see the league to be popular. From the previous season the popularity have increased and this season have brought many changes to the league.

I saw the match when Pakistan needs another 93 runs in 78 balls with 7 wickets left. I thought it to be a easy winning match for Pakistan, and to know the result later checked with the score. To my surprise the match hadn't finished and 3 runs required from 2 balls and I expected Afghanistan to win the match. Naseem Shah had batted well at that position scoring a boundary and won it for Pakistan. Anyhow a good performance from a team that ended its innings for just 59 runs and great performance from Rahmanullah Gurbaz of Afghanistan scoring 151 runs and Imam-ul-Haq of Pakistan scoring 91 runs.

I agree absolutely  with you op and above all you've said, I think cutting down on luxury and contentment is one of the major factors why people aren't planning  for the future is because of peer pressure and lack of contentment and anyone who has contentment, doesn't get affected by what the society has to offer at any given point in time.

Having a budget is another factor that can't be over emphasized but I think most persons earn barely enough for feeding talk more of savings so we don't have to consider budgeting as a factor except for those who have more than enough for feeding.

Planning too much also makes life very boring. We should know which is important and which is not, for that we should set time duration. As in the op when we look for buying a product just wait for some time period and understand it's need. By then it is possible to understand whether it is utmost required or not. Based on that you can make the purchase. This way luxury spending can be limited and this is the best choice apart from budget planning where a major portion of unwanted expenses can be stopped.
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 22, 2023, 11:52:44 PM
And that is the problem with being connected all the time, now it is expected that every single person is not only the owner of a smartphone but that they know how to use it, trying to get by without a smartphone is very difficult now as your bank accounts, contacts or even your bitcoin wallets could be there.

And this is making overcoming addictions or compulsive behaviors even harder, as even if it was possible to live without a smartphone a decade ago this is not possible anymore, and if anything this tendency will only get worse during the next years.
You are right most all the person have a smartphone all of the people may use online gambling as they have a smartphone as well as the internet. Actually, it has increased since online gambling started. People started gambling over time passing but later they become addicted.
This is true, everyone are much connected and the same had given the access to gamble anywhere. This is also a reason why people are easily getting addicted. Today received the weeks payment and it got washed off in just three minutes. I was wagering with $0.01 and all of the sudden the notification on the payment came and thought why can't we wager with better amount. Started to go with high amount of 0.0001BTC and increased multipliers. It didn't last for longer time.

Pakistan Vs Afghanistan
Today is the first match of Afghanistan vs Pakistan OD series. Pakistan won the toss and the batting decided. Pakistan were all out for 201 runs in 47.1 overs. Pakistan batted very badly today, Imam-ul-Haq scored 61 runs as the only player to score half-century in the match. A very low target of 202 runs in ODI format. Afghanistan were all out for 59 runs in 19.2 overs. A humiliating loss for Afghanistan. Haris Rauf bowled brilliantly taking 5 wickets with 18 runs in 6.2 overs, Shaheen Afridi took 2 wickets. Pakistan won by 142 runs, congratulations to Pakistan team.

Pakistan scored good enough runs but the competition was with Afghanistan. But Afghanistan fans could never have imagined that Afghanistan would lose by such a margin. However, the Afghanistan batsmen could not stand the ground as five batting took zero runs. The rest of the batsmen are out with just a few runs. The best role here is the Pakistani bowling because I would say Haris Rouf and Shaheen Afridi gave the best bowling performance. I am very disappointed that Afghanistan lost by such a wide margin.


Even the supporters away from home could've never expected such a performance from Afghanistan. As stated five players have went to the pavilion without scoring runs as the tail end player Farooqi stood not out. At the beginning consecutive wickets fall happened as the first three wickets didn't score runs, Zadran-0(6) Shah-0(1) Shahidi-0(3). When the top order couldn't make runs then what will the down order does. Anyhow this isn't expected and a big bowling performance from Pakistan team which could give them more confidence for the upcoming Asia Cup.

Cryptocurrency accepted gambling platforms were big in number. This means the competence have increased as well as the people's involvement too have increased. It is an easy choice to segregate the trusted platforms whereas it is really hard to stay away from scams. This is our responsibility, because recently saw a thread in which a platform resembling the same as the original site is being developed and circulated. Someone without looking the URL making his details to login could end up losing his/her funds. Same as that someone making wrong deposit also make him/her loss. Gambling platforms were completely centralized as the KYC is mandatory beyond certain amount of withdrawal. So, we need to be careful while handling our account.

Although Al-Nassr suffered two consecutive defeats in the Saudi Pro League. But at least they can still achieve a pretty good victory in the AFC Champion League. Well today Al-Nassr managed to win 4-2 against Shabab Al-Ahli. I hope Al-Nassr can also show a better performance in the next match in the SPL. In this match CR7 didn't score but he managed to make at least 1 assist. While Talisca scored 2 goals, S. Al Ghanam 1 goal and M. Brozovic 1 goal.

The win was something surprising from Al-Nassr. Big comeback from the Al-Nassr team at the last minutes. Two goals have come from Ghassani in the 18th & 46th minutes for Shahab Al-Ahli. This gave them a 2-1 lead till the 87th minute. During the 88the minute Ghanam came with a goal for Al-Nassr and leveled the goal 2-2. It was the additional time that decided the match as Talisca and Brozovic came up with one goal each and the goal count turned 4-2 making this a dramatic win for Al-Nassr.

Bangladesh is one among the country that have got strong opposition from the government. Once it is very risky as people talking about bitcoin were also arrested. Now things have happened in a better way and more people from Bangladesh are using bitcoin amidst the opposition from the government. When it comes to regulated usage it is really hard. Only time can bring the opportunity to have a pizza bought with bitcoin.

It was a huge day for Djokovic as he was able to record his win against Alcaraz to win the Cincinnati Masters title. This being the maiden Cincinnati Masters final for Alcaraz I expected this to be a win for him. The first set win made the match to be much in favour of Alcaraz, however Djokovic with his positive mind and hard fighting gave the comeback and won the last two sets on the tie breaker to win the match.

Indian squad for the Asia Cup and most probably for the ODI WC as well (more or less), given there are no injuries.

The most surprising thing was Agarkar (Chief selector) and Rohit's press conference. I don't remember when was the last time management came before the media regarding squad selection.


Lol. Rahul is back. I guess he will continue getting opportunities even if he is in space or on some other planet. Good to see Iyer and Bumrah back since their injuries screwed them over for way too long.

Sad that Pant couldn't return which was expected, but I hope he can return sometime next year.
To be fair to KL Rahul his numbers in ODI as middle order batter is not bad, actually it's the opposite so not surprised of his inclusion in the squad and possibly playing XI.

SKY selection is surprising tho as his numbers are worst in ODI but i guess he gets the entry due to the X-factor. Other than that it's surprising to see a lack of quality spinners in the future planning considering WC is in India but i guess they are targeting a deep batting lineup overall.
Playing under his captaincy is really good and this gives the squad give their natural game. Inclusion of Suryakumar Yadav isn't a surprise for me, because he had been seen like grabbing an opportunity to play ODI though he's good at T20.

Considering the World Cup, these players getting chances to play is really good. If they were able to give better performance the same can be continued with the ODI World Cup squad.
319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology? on: August 20, 2023, 11:59:20 PM
There's no age bracket in the adoption of bitcoin for what should be most important to beam our search light on is the interest of people towards bitcoin  and how willing they are to learn, adapt and  understand the technology. Many of these old people have the money to purchase and hold bitcoin in same way they do with their fiat money as savings in the bank that doesn't give bank profit to their money.
If they are well enlightened about bitcoin  a good number of them can augment with the number of the youths that are already investing in bitcoin and that can have a significant bullish effect on the price of bitcoin as buyers increases.
As said it all depends on the person's interest to know and be part of the growing technology. There'll be people who stand in support of technology and people who don't understand about the goodness technology provides. It is our responsibility to find the right person and enlighten them with the knowledge. It is possible to see good number of people interested into bitcoin considering the inflation happening around the world. Even the small contribution from the interested people around the world unlike their age will surely have its contribution to the bitcoin market.
320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What resources do you have for members who may be dealing with addiction? on: August 20, 2023, 11:37:18 PM
The personal suggestion will be to understand his/her level of addiction. Most of them never understand that they're into addiction. In such case it is really tough to get out of addiction. For them even if we provide with different resources, nothing gonna benefit it any means. So, first thing they need to realise and they need to make their mind not to gamble.

When they're good enough, available choice to gamble needs to be cut. Now slowly the time spent on gambling will decrease gradually. An alternate gaming option or some other hobby needs to be practiced to keep themselves active. Most of the gamblers prefer to gamble to kill their time and after days they prefer to spent time for gambling.
