The Australian cricket calendar was like that even before the introduction of the BBL. The test matches being played during Christmas-New Year vacations are a major revenue earner for Cricket Australia. However, this is problematic for those players, who participate in more than one format. And in terms of revenue, it works well for CA, because the test matches are played during the daytime and the BBL matches are mostly played during the evening. They are trying to maximize the revenue during peak season. Also, one argument is that there is not much overlap between the viewership for test and T20.
But, in search of revenue, the board itself is putting a lot of pressure on the players of Australia. Revenue is obviously going to be better because of this but really it is going to be bad for cricket.

You cannot expect a test player to play test cricket in the daytime and play t20 at night time on the same day. I am not saying that it is impossible but that is obviously not the optimal way to play for a player. They also have to really increase the salary of players in the BBL. Otherwise, it is going to lose a lot of popularity because great players are not going to be attracted. They should always first think about their players rather than the revenue.
A good review about Australian cricket and BBL but here we have one more issue this time Australians have no luxury of time like we have in the Sub-Continent so they have to settle this between their International tours so this is also a big issue for them and case they have no local Australian players secondly they are never been good in paying their salaries disputes has a long history so just this is another case mostly local players don't like to play this BBL.

I am watching Australian cricket for a long time and now they have never been good to pay and their many players leave just because of this and try to settle in England for better finances in cricket even right now mostly love to play IPL as they have very handsome income from this franchise.

But now good things happening many countries are offering franchise cricket which is helping these players for having good salaries even it is not possible for the player they can join them as bowling, batting and fielding coaches which is also have a good salary.

A lot of the users were surprised with the poor performance from Bangladesh, but it was somewhat expected for me. Ever since they got the test status in 1999, the performance from the Bongs have been like this only. Once in a while, they will score an upset victory against one of the stronger sides and that will enable them to continue with the current status. IMO, other emerging teams such as Afghanistan also deserves the chances that are being given to Bangladesh. Why Afghanistan is not a part of the World Test Championship, despite the fact that they are also a full member?
One the main reason why Afghanistan might not get recognised as a test playing nation is due to the present political situation in that country. Bangladesh performance has been degrading in all format not just Test cricket. I am not sure what cannot the Bangladesh board find talents who can play good cricket.
There is no doubt it's a big setback for Afghanistan they can't play at home and most chance it's not possible in the next eight to ten years because no country will travel to this country where no system and law is working anytime anything can happen as we have a few years back in neighboring Pakistan and currently some near to this happening here in Sri Lanka but policies are completely different for all countries.

Even Afghanistan is a very good side and if they can have 5 or 6 test matches annually then surely they could be better especially if they can give better results than Zimbabwe and Bangladesh but it's all in hands of ICC B-4 which have their hypocrisy which is killing this game and if they are not going to change this then surely we are going to have a big drop in cricket playing nations especially in test matches as countries like New Zealand and South Africa have no profit from this format.
3063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: June 19, 2022, 11:19:15 AM
Probably this is decided because of the ongoing problem in the whole world. There are a lot of problems currently in the world and that is obviously not ideal. The world has not recovered 100% from the Coronavirus situation and you already have the Russia and Ukraine problem. A lot of political problems are going on right now and among all of these problems, it was really hard to even arrange the world cup. So, I don't have any problems watching the world cup happening in November.
Exactly, since the pandemic and then this war started, nothing is in its normal rhythm.
We must remember that it would be crazy to hold the games in the summer in Qatar, the weather would be very inhospitable for the players.
If we've already had problems with the games that take place in the amazon (Brazil) due to the high temperature and humidity, imagine what we wouldn't have with a desert climate in the middle of summer.
The local championships have already prepared to take a break during the world cup, everything has been planned for a long time... it will be a great event, be sure of it.
Agreed with this all statement now things are changing very frequently and if we have changed in this time it's not bad at all even this could be helpful for many countries and we can do this in future as well because in summer many countries are facing problems so this change could be a landmark for this game and future in the middle east market which is now preparing for bright future. Pandemic is still a big concern as media is not giving any intention and China is again having stick lockdown in few Provence's and travelers are also restricted the same happening in few other countries but now things are changed.

Due to Ukraine, Russia conflict so they have other topics to be more highlighted instead of this Corona. Good thing Qatar is a very small country but they are doing all things as plane and trying their best for having one of the best soccer mega events in their country.
3064  Economy / Economics / Re: Stable coin can solve poverty on: June 19, 2022, 10:10:36 AM
People should see the other way around and we know that Poverty is a global problem that had been tried to be resolved overall the century but still not able to solve it out
thats why its irrelevant that you would really be expecting for a stable coin to solve poverty is something out of context or connection.
Its true that it could improve  the lives of some people but only to those who do know on how to play out in the market and this is something
needing some effort for you to do so.
The main reason why it hasn't been solved is corruption and nothing more. I have watched a docu-series about all the humanitarian help going to Africa and there are nations where the "lord" of that nation (president in most of our nations) literally confiscates all of the donations, and distributes either as it is his help to people, or he just distributes it to people who are supporters of him, anyone who doesn't like him goes starving and usually die. That is just one example of how corruption makes sure that poverty still goes on.

There are bigger versions of course, like how USA military "spends" 800 billion a year, which we all know is just pocketing it directly and nothing more. So from simple charity to 800 billion military complex, and anything in between, it's all because o corruption.

I still have zero clue about the current situation because we are at the beginning of a recession so it could be a lot worse as well. I still think that it will be 100k+ eventually, but that doesn't change the fact that for the next year or so, it could end up lower and lower due to recession.

It means that we can stay above 18k forever, or we can go under 10k and I would not know, nobody would know really because if they did then they would short it with all of their money and make that kind of profit. This means that time is the only thing that will show us what's going to happen but it's going to be a harsh period for sure and we will have to survive this period in order to profit later on.
3066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: June 18, 2022, 09:33:52 PM
The thing about Ronaldos and Messis records is that there "could be" someone who breaks them eventually for sure, there isn't any denying that, in the next 50 years I can't say that there won't be any single person who can't break them, there could be.

However, this won't make their records any less magical, and whoever breaks it, won't break it insanely high, it will be like a close one for sure. This is why they are so great, we are discussing if it is even possible and it is possible it will be a barely one and that is why it matters so much. Look at Messi, dude started playing in La Liga when he was like 17 or something and if he kept going, it would be 20 years of domination.
3067  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID had widened the gap between world's richest and poorest on: June 18, 2022, 07:10:28 PM
Covid has changed the lifestyle of the whole world. People has started taking care of their chores. The family time and meet and greet has increased.
Now there is more trend of online zoom meetings and online work. But this has also made the rich realise that life is so unpredictable. Life has changed all together.
I agree that home working did increased during this period, but not as much as I imagined stayed that way, majority went back to regular office work. I am not saying that it's bad, but I never liked working in an office, and I have been a freelancer for many years, and I feel a bit of pity towards people who stay at home. Think about it this way, there are so many people who would love to stay at home and keep on working that productivity literally went low because of this.

During the period people were at home, the productivity rate increased, but for some weird reason, companies still wanted to get those people back into the offices, no idea why.
3068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 18, 2022, 06:45:39 PM
Shakib and Nurul are batting well enough. They have formed a 44-run partnership. And this is probably the biggest partnership in Bangladesh. Shakib scored 33 off 49 balls and Nurul scored 12 off 48 balls. If this partnership lasts long, then maybe Bangladesh will be able to provide a target of 60/70 runs. However, I do not see any possibility of Bangladesh winning this match. There is no other experienced batsman in the crease except Shakib.
I am really surprised with the way both are batting because they are doing things against odds now Bangladesh is leading by 32 runs with the courtesy of the partnership between these two which is already 85 with a very healthy run-rate these both are settled and can do some more good for their team because we have just 9 overs left when the new ball will be available which can do some change in this game otherwise very good fightback by these Bangla tigers legendary Bangla batsman Shakib is using his all experience and giving good tips to a newcomer for having some good time at the crease.

Any healthy lead can create problems for the home team in the fourth inning because it's never been easy for any team to bat in the fourth inning even if it's just the third day of play. For me now if both batsmen can stay at the crease for nearly 20 to 25 overs then surely they can change the momentum of this game which could be interesting even still in favour of the home team.

Just open you accusations with some valid proofs like the screenshot with the support team and your bet slips and other proofs that can defend yourself and your issue will be taken into serious consideration for sure.The team will look into the matter and will reply you but you also need to support your argument with proofs against it and then only it can help you man.
Most of these people do not do that because they have no proof. Their only proof usually consists of a few screenshots that means nothing, maybe some support staff (usually outsourced) who doesn't know what to say or do, and say something wrong, and ends up looking like their claim should be legit that they got scammed. It's always the same things, I have seen plenty of people who did something wrong and broke the rules and STILL tried to get the money.

At the end of the day, if there was anything wrong with this casino, I believe that we wouldn't have only a single person complaining about it, why would we all be okay with a bad casino while only one person realizes it's a bad one? Would make no sense.
3070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Food for Thought!!! (Bear Market Special) on: June 18, 2022, 07:28:41 AM
Fear will always be one of the most important emotions in the market. It allows people to not see the reality of crypto and focus on the possibility of everything going badly. Anxiety is what we feel when something is not happening right now, but a potential to happen in the future and fearing of a thing that hasn't happened yet.

Basically it's the fear of murphy's law, and saying that if bitcoin going down to 1k is the worst possible thing, and 100k is the best thing, then it will go to 1k because good things never happen and it's always bad. Having that type of pessimistic approach to the future of the market makes people do things that will cause them to lose money.

Every casino states that KYC is not compulsory but when you win big, then suddenly your KYC becomes mandatory. This is more true for casino which are relatively new.
Asking for a bank statement is ridiculous, these are just delaying tactics or excuses not to pay the amount. Think for a moment, if he would have lost $100,000 (instead of winning) while playing, would the casino be concerned about where these coins are coming to them  Huh
Oh really? That's scary then. What if someone doesn't want to do a kyc? In my case I don't use banks so if a bank statement is being ask on this casino then it's game over for me. My big winnings will be stuck. This will now discourage gamblers to place a big bet.

If a gambling site doesn't want this to happen or if they don't want their sales to go down because of it then they should be transparent and say anything that a gambler must need to know. We do all like surprises but not this kind of surprise. The casino won't be concerned of course if the player loses a big amount of money but they will be happy in fact because it means they also earn big.

Galatasaray hasn't done much yet mainly because their presidential election just ended recently. Which means that the old one couldn't do anything yet, and the new one didn't had any time to do anything yet. There are talks about making the midfield stronger, and to be fair their defense wasn't that terrible, it wasn't amazing neither but it wasn't terrible. Their offensive line is not the best in the league but not terrible neither again.

Only thing they needed was getting that great midfield, if they can do that, and somehow get rid of those Romanian bad players they paid so much money for, they could use the income from that, to buy 1-2 players that could make their team so much better.

This is quite good, Korea is one of the nations that like bitcoin and should be let go off any type of regulations that steps the growth of them. South Korea is one of those nations that was brink of not being even existing, and yet they somehow managed to survive and not only survive but grow to be a global nation.

Maybe it is their music that we hear more than anything else, but their industry giants are insanely big as well. Just think about Samsung alone, that is bigger than most nations GDP, and that should tell you something. Having a nation THAT big in crypto and not have any regulations that stops them? It should be bringing a lot more money to the table for sure.
3074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Crypto Winter on: June 17, 2022, 05:38:05 PM
When the bullish season comes back, you can compute on your mind how much it would be the top. Just as the past bull runs, take it as an example for the last one last year, it was 20x.

So, even if bitcoin goes by 10x or 5x during the next bull run and calculating it with the lowest for this bear market like the lowest could be $20k. That will be a solid 6 digits soon.
This is quite true, even 5x to 20k equals to 100k and that is a very very low calculation as well. I need to remind everyone that we started at 7k during 2020 and ended the peak at 68k that is nearly 10x and that is calculation from start to peak, if we calculate bottom to peak that is like 15x total when it happened.

This is why I believe that we are doing fine right now because as long as it stays above 10k, that would be a big profit for me when the next bull comes, and anyone who buys at around these prices would make a ton of profit when the time comes. This is why it is quite crucial to not get out of the market because of the fall or you will lose a lot when it starts to go up.
3075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is crypto winter setting in.. and how long will it last on: June 17, 2022, 03:25:15 PM
Usually, the upsetting part takes about a year, but do not be worried because we are already about 6-8 months in. Last time we were up, was in October of 2021, which means that we have been falling ever since that day, maybe we weren't under 30k for a long time, but we haven't been close to our ATH price since that date.

This is why about a year or year and a half is reasonable and we could see the price going up in under a year. By this time next year in 2023 we could be over 50k or even be over 100k and I wouldn't be shocked at all. I hope that people would be able to hold until then without getting worried about what happens, 2018 was a crypto winter too but people made so much profit from that period if they bought it in 2018 and waited until 2021.

They don't look appealing at all for me. As example: " win 5 times in Crash with a multiplier higher or equal to 10". Minimum bet size is 1.5$ and the reward is 0.00005$... I hope they will revise these as I can not imagine that a lot of people really fulfill a lot of the daily tasks for such a low rewards. A new feature or not, it is not really beneficial.

Agreed. 10x is already rare in crash, and 5 times as well...
That is basically just a way of saying "we did something for sake of doing something" and nothing more. I have to say they really need to make sure that they know what they are doing, marketing like this will not get them anywhere.

I have said this long ago, they turned in to a token company working overtime for anything related to the token and they do not care about the casino anymore. They used to be a casino with a token, these days they are a token that is accepted in a casino, nothing more. If they keep this up, they will soon figure out that people invested into the token because of the casino and not gamble in casino because they invested into the token.

Each site has its own set of games and rules for account registration, their owner has different marketing budget and strategy. They has different vision to build up their site with budget they have and with marketing strategy.

Then they set up own rules in their campaigns or programs. Before anyone joins, let's spend time to read their rules and requirements then reward you can have. Don't complain later just because you don't read rules adn requirements.

I agree with you too that people should not compare one site with another or others. Even do comparision, Duelbits team are still good and what they provide are mostly the best. From games, fairness, promotions, freespins. They dk it wel in any comparison belut I see they might not be the best. Important, the best is not reason why many people use Duelbits. They have top-notch service and very generous promotion. It is more than enough for anybody want to join.
I agree that each website should be approaching how a casino should be run differently based on how much money they have. If you think about it, someone with 10k dollars to build a brand-new casino, and someone with 10 million will never be the same. Someone who worked in gambling for a decade before they started their own, versus someone who has never worked in this business before will not be the same neither.

Someone with a deep pocket investors behind them, versus someone who doesn't have any other partners will not be the same. There are million other examples but basically no two casinos would be the same and will approach it differently.

It is going to get nasty tonight with a "potential" last game of the season in NBA. I am expecting both teams to do whatever it takes to win this game, even get to an annoying part, as someone who has watched a ton of win or go home games in the nba (some really didn't matter because it was like 3-1 or 3-0 but this one is close) I can say that this game is one of the most hard to watch games. Not because it's bad or anything, but because there will  be plenty of things that you normally do not see.

All those tricky dirt stuff that you do not do because you may get ejected, could happen this game and try to not get caught, some stuff you see, but refs do not see. It will definitely be hard.
3079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 16, 2022, 05:11:14 AM
Wiggins has been criticized many times, but look at him now, he accepted his role in the Warriors although he is the number pick, and with that, he now slowly develops to be a consistent player and could win his first championship with the Warriors. I like to see him continue his impressive performance in game 6, and how much more if Curry will not struggle anymore.
To be fair, he played terrible so far when he was not in Warriors, not saying "terrible" really but not like the star level he was expected to be, and that is a big problem of him, getting paid star money but not having star production.

This year, he played in a team with a great system, many many players end up being great when they play in Warriors, even players who you think ended their career already, ends up having a career season there. It's just a system that shines everyone, just like how Greg Pop did. So, this wouldn't be really a be an achievement just by Wiggins, of course he plays better, but that is also because of the team. Put him on Timberwolves again, and he wouldn't be this great.

Bet management is the important factor here, timing and lots of patience.

Slot is more on luck and if you know how t control yourself, you can go out with a decent profit, but if you are greed
there's nothing but losing your money.

Keep in mind that the strategy is on how you manage your time and how you will balance your bankroll. Gambling is
entertaining if you know how to find the enjoying part of it.
Considering how you will most likely lose all of your money in all of the types of gambling, there is no smart way to gamble. Sure, there are some methods where you would be able to gamble a lot longer, like say if you wager 10 cents and have 100 bucks, on a slot game, then you will gamble a lot longer, or if you wager all of the 100 dollars into a dice game with 1% chance to win, then you will most likely end up losing after one bet.

This is why I agree that some gamble for longer, but everyone ends up with a loss in the long term due to house edge. There is mathematically zero chance for anyone to keep on gambling and winning in the long run.
