I was just watching the match of Hurkacz vs Draper. After the Cincinnati Masters match against Alcaraz his play have grabbed my attention. In the first round he played against Huesler and won the match after losing the first two sets. Now in the second round similar kind of game as the first round is happening. Hurkacz have lost the first two sets against Draper and now third set is going on.

Edit: This time Hurkacz have lost the match 6-2 6-4 7-5

128/5

37 run need to win

But Bangladesh can comeback?

Edited 132/5

33 more runs need to win.... impossible..


Comeback is impossible, Srilanka have lost 5 wickets but Asalanka and Shanaka on the crease makes it a winning match for them. Sri Lanka needs another 22 runs in 90 balls. Asalanka have scored 50 runs from 85 balls and his wicket standing at the right time has helped Sri Lanka. If he hadn't scored enough this could've been a closer match. Bangladesh scoring just 164 runs and 89 runs coming from Shanto is really bad performance of Bangladesh team.

According to the data point source from UN Agency report of my country, 74% can't afford healthy diet. The cost of healthy food have increased over the years. Yet, on comparison with the BRICS nations the food price in my country is low. The thing that makes an overview of food price is at its high is the stagnant income level which isn't moving forward than going down. The food cost in my country have increased by 65% whereas the income have increased to a maximum of 35%, so a balanced growth keep things under control.

A really close match between Tsitsipas and Stricker. Each of the 4 sets was hard fought and currently it looks better for Stricker in set number 5. 5:2 for him. Who would have thought that the number 128 from Switzerland would possibly beat Tsitsipas?
And for Djokovic, it seems that Round 2 comes to a fast end.

Edit:  Stricker won the match.

Yeah, Tsitsipas is out of US Open early. Unbielivable, but it's a fact. Young Swiss guy Dominic Stricker left the Greek no chance. It's the first Top10 win for a 21 yo Swiss who looks like a bit overweight farmer boy but plays like a tennis god!  Grin

Final result: 7-5 6-7(2) 6-7(5) 7-6(6) 6-3
Surprises were part of tennis and this is one of the match. There is expectation from Tsitsipas and this time things didn't work well. Play three tie breaker set could've made both of the players get tired, because everything went close from the beginning. Only the final set had a better lead. Dominic Stricker who made a great win doesn't perform in a consistent manner in the next match which is the disappointment from these players.

The match win against Nepal is a much expected one. Nepal players couldn't stay longer against the bowling attack from the Pakistan bowlers. In the match Babar Azam registered his second highest score scoring 151 runs. Ifthikhar made his maiden ODI century and the score reached 342/6. The record of highest 5th wicket partnership is made by Babar Azam and Ifthikhar pair-214 runs. Nepal wasn't able to chase the massive target and ended the innings for just 104 runs and Pakistan won the match by 238 runs.

In offline casinos there'll be emergency medical services, none could've thought that he's suffering from Cardiac arrest. Human life is more important, and surely the dealer could've stopped the play and taken necessary measures. Now the blame shouldn't be on the dealer or the casino. Whenever we spend money we can experience the difference in our heartbeat. I don't know about others, but I personally experience difference and we only need to be responsible handling ourselves understanding gambling isn't meant for us.

Surprises were common with Tennis matches and now I see it with the match between Huesler and Hurkacz. In the previous Cincinnati Masters Hurkacz played the semifinal match against Alcaraz and gave tight competence losing with a tie breaker win from Alcaraz in the second set. Today he had lost the first two sets 6-4 7-5 against Huesler, and now the third set is being played 5-5 which could move to the tie breaker.
Matches with a 3-set system often provide an opportunity for players who are already two sets behind to change their situation, and Hurkacz managed to turn this situation into a match he won, and the fifth set was relatively easier for him because his opponent was only able to get 1 game.
What was no less surprising was how Borna Coric failed to beat Baez after he had also lost to the same player in the previous tournament, Baez didn't take long to beat Coric, especially in the third set where his opponent seemed to have lost the power to change things.

Alcaraz was able to save his energy for the next match because in the first round, his opponent walkover from the match due to injury in the second set.
Yes, the three set matches gives an advantage. Hurkacz is really good to give a fight back and win the match 4-6 5-7 77-60 6-3 6-1. I didn't expect such a comeback from Hurkacz after watching tha first two sets.

Baez have won consecutive matches against the same player. The Winston - Salam Open match was very close as two games were decided through tie breaker. This time Baez have won it in an easier way on direct sets 7-5 7-5 6-1 which is really an unexpected performance from Coric.

Alright people. It's Asia Cup time. It's good to see several new teams in this edition who could actually compete with the top dogs. As usual, India + Lanka + Pak are the strongest, but I hope that there are some unexpected twists.
Am expecting Sri Lanka to win this edition which is an extremely early prediction. Whoever wins will have a great advantage in the upcoming WC.
In my view, the possibility is very low for Sri Lanka to win the Asia cup again in this year. Both Pakistan and India are strong, and I'm expecting one of them to win the Asia cup. Nepal is the only new team in this Asia cup. Hong Kong was the new team in the 2022. They were in the same group of India and Pakistan, and the new team Nepal has replaced them. I believe Nepal will loss the both matches with big margin.
It is foolish to make predictions before the game starts. It is true that Nepal is a bit weaker than all the other teams. But it would not be right to consider Nepal as such an insignificant team. You may have noticed the matches of Nepal team, Nepal plays much better now than before. So without watching this year's Asia Cup game. It is not possible to say by how much margin Nepal team will win or lose. Now when the Asia Cup starts, it will be understood how well any team can play
Pakistan and India are two of the top ODI teams in ODI cricket whereas Nepal is one of the bottom ODI cricket team so the difference will be that everyone is expecting Nepal to go out of the tournament without winning a match. If it was a T20 tournament then Nepal had some chance to win but since it is played in ODI format it is very difficult for Nepal to win against India or Pakistan. It is very difficult but impossible for Nepal to win against India and Pakistan, but if Nepal performs well and if India or Pakistan do not play at their best, then Nepal will definitely have a chance to win any of the Asia Cup matches. Even if Nepal can't win a match, Nepal fans will be happy with Nepal's performance because Nepal has performed well recently and they have been doing great in cricket recently.

The first match of the Asia cup between Pakistan and Nepal and I do not see any upset being happening at the start of the series. Pakistan should easily won this match and we can bet on it. I just checked the stake to see the odds for this match and was disappointed to see the odds of 1.01 for the Pakistan win. It is not worth taking the risk.

Also, do not take the risk on Nepal's 12.50 odds either. Nepal will not be able to win this one.


Pakistan is at its best and Nepal can expect to perform well. When it comes to winning, this is really tough. The odds itself show how the match gonna be. All that I expect, the match shouldn't be completely one sided. Nepal needs to try something to experience the loss at minimal margin. Same time disappointment and surprises too could happen same as what we saw with the Pakistan's previous series against Afghanistan.

Value of one Satoshi leveling the value of a dollar could happen in the future when the entire world gets used to it. Probably when the entire form of online and offline transaction have got bitcoin payment as an additional choice of payment. For now we don't have much of access, but things could change over time. In such case the distribution will vary and will be in large scale. By that time this could happen, however when calculated against the market cap this is a something unrealistic. Lets see what happens.

Taking consideration about the halving, it is the right time to make your entry into the market. Having a diversified investment seems to be fair than going on a single cryptocurrency. This means the trend will be followed by the altcoins. Based on the movement of bitcoin will be the move of altcoins. In such manner we'll be able to experience the best when we have diversified investment. The market is at the bear and making use of the opportunity and holding will give the best return close to halving.

Whether it is a confirmed bet or something else, at any point we should not think of spending through loan or as a whole. We don't have anything proven, when there is something related to the money involved. What we can do, just understand how good is the sports and the inner minds thinking. Sometimes our feel will be positive and mostly it'll be against the reality. So, just spend few dollars on these confirmed bets.

Three matches left for the day. The match between Abha and Al Feiha have ended in a 2-1 win for Abha. From the start to the end of the match Abha have got good lead as Al Feiha continued to do the best, so the competence can be kept active. However the two goals from teg first half and the second half won it as Al Feiha was able to make a goal in the last minute.
354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: August 27, 2023, 10:13:43 PM
Upsides of keeping your savings in a betting account:
- None

Downsides of keeping your savings in a betting account:
- You will probably never save.
- Your savings will be subject to the terms of a gambling platform instead of a bank account/bitcoin wallet (reduce sovereignty, higher risk)
- Temptation will be easier to succumb to due to the convenience of having the balance available in a better account.

If you are coming from the view that you can grow faster in a betting account than a savings account, that is completely untrue, factually and statistically speaking.
The major problem is the temptation to gamble. When you don't have balance in the wallet one won't think of gambling. Myself used to play without bet amount, which means used to keep on rolling to reach a specific result. This used to be kill lots of time, and this used to be fun. When we have balance surely we'll get tempted to spend and multiply it. This is real risk when our choice is to save. Better choice is to save in a non custodial wallet.
355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: August 27, 2023, 09:29:01 PM
After big losses expecting big wins I've changed myself. Nowadays on getting mere wins I stop gambling for the day. With sports betting when my bet is on the assured win I used to go for the end result. If the teams into the game were equally strong and if I feel that the result could change anytime I'll go with the Cashout feature when my bet have small profit. Earlier I've experienced losses expecting the big return, and whenever we spend on sports betting going with the suggested low odds bring better winning than betting against the odds.

The Indian Women's Blind team have won the Gold Medal on the IBSA World Games 2023. The team have won against the strong Australia team which is really great. Australia have scored 114 runs batting first, and India started to chase the target. Inbetween rain interrupted and the overs were reduced. India reached 43 runs in 3.3 overs winning the match by 9 wickets.

As most prediction Baez have won the ATP Winston-Salem in direct sets in a much easier way 6-4 6-3. Lehecka got lucky to reach his maiden ATP final as Korda withdrew due to injury. Baez have got all the winning probability as he had won the title three times. Now with this win one more got added to his name. Baez is more favorable with clay surface than hard court which could've been used by Lehecka and he missed.

Match between Pakistan and Afghanistan is very interesting. Pakistan played well and perform 268 runs with 8 fall of wickets Babar Azam and Agha Salman played well. Baber perform 60 runs and Agha Salman made 38 runs out of 31 runs. Rizwan also played excellent inning of 67 runs. Afghanistan score 17 runs with 1 wicket fall in 5.1 overs. Pakistan is strong side.Gurbaz made 5 runs in 15 balls , Riaz Hassan scored 9 runs in 20 balls. Afghanistan need 248 runs  to win.
Today's match Afghanistan have some chances to win because in the second match they gave Pakistan a target of 300 runs today Pakistan batted first and gave Afghanistan a target of 268 runs.  However, Afghanistan finished with 14 overs and they lost 2 wickets and scored 51 runs.  If they can save wickets and play the full 50 overs, then they can win today's match. But it is still not sure as the first match saw Afghanistan not being able to meet the target of just 201 runs and they lost all wickets for just 59 runs that day.
Afghanistan team is not good in chasing targets. This means the team is not able to handle pressure situations which is mostly due to the lack of experience. Already 5 wickets down scoring 64 runs, and this isn't going to be a win for Afghanistan team. Looking at the ongoing match Statics we can expect the innings of Afghanistan end within 100 runs. In recent ODI series played this is where Afghanistan unable to register a win.

Totally agree!
Even if they were best friends or lovers, that behavior was not appropriate, given the situation they were in.

Let's see what will happen. For now, the president of the Spanish federation has already informed that he will not resign.

He (Luis Rubiales) can say whatever he want. But the decision has been taken. The Spanish government has made it clear that they will be initiating legal proceedings against him and he will be asked to resign. And here is the big news:

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66621772

Jenni Hermoso made it clear that the kiss was made without her permission or consent. A statement signed by all the 23 players from the world cup squad (including Hermoso) says that consent was not given. At the same time, FIFA has also initiated disciplinary action as per Article 13.
The latest news related to the World Cup Kiss Controversy is that Luis Rubiales is Suspended by FIFA disciplinary committee. This is the initial step taken from the authority for a period of 90 days from all activities. This could be extended and the suspension is effective as the Spanish Women's team have refused to play any other football game while Luis Rubiales continue to be the head of the football body.

Spain football chief Luis Rubiales suspended

Today is the match of Pakistan vs Afghanistan 3rd ODI. The match starts at 2:30 pm. According, to the last two matches Pakistan had a chance to win this, In the first match Pakistan won easily but in the second match, Pakistan won again but not easily, The second match was too hard for both teams. So, must watch today's match because the Pakistan vs Afghanistan series is very interesting.

Pakistan has already won the series 2-0. And I don't think that Afghanistan has a lot of positives to take away from the first two matches. Today is a prestige match for them. They should try hard not to get whitewashed by Pakistan. But weakness at crucial points would be an issue for them. Pakistan on the other hand doesn't have much to play for. They have already won the series and may be looking forward to test some of their younger players for today's match. This series will act as a morale booster ahead of the Asia Cup, and also for the ODI World Cup.
Afghanistan wants to win this match to avoid whitewash. Pakistan have already confirmed its series win. We know that Pakistan is strong enough to win the match, and Afghanistan is performing good in the previous match. Maybe something similar in the last match will make it an interesting one to watch. Both the teams find this series a opportunity to improve and understand well about the position of the players.
