West Indies is really good in T20 format cricket, the first match result of five match series proved it. Now the second match result have proven that West Indies team is king of T20. In the first match West Indies scored 149 runs and defended India and won by 4 runs. This time West Indies have chased the target of 152 runs with 7 balls remaining. Nicholas Pooran played an awesome innings scoring 67 runs from 40 balls which were the important scores for winning.

Business should be start from the scratch, only then we'll know about each and everything. When we buy a business we need to learn and we need to hire someone to take care of the business and we'll just be going around as the managing authority. This doesn't looks fair, so it is good to start from the scratch. It also lets you to do what you wish than buying someone's passion.

From the article explanation, and the way I understand it, it is cryptocurrency that is decentralized and anonymity and not the casino. The casino only accept cryptocurrency to their to enable the players to play games and when they win cryptocurrency would be send to their gambling accounts for them to make a transfer to their wallets and if they loss the coins would be taken by the casino, so the anonymity is not found in the casino and KYC came removed anonymity. In these days, almost all the casinos are asking for KYC. And not only casinos also exchanges.
Almost every services that accept cryptocurrencies were requesting the users to fulfill KYC. Earlier we've got decentralised gambling platforms like directbet which never requires a registration. During those days the anonymity of the gambling platform as well as the cryptocurrencies were well enjoyed. Now the cryptocurrencies were anonymous, but the gamblers to fulfill KYC keeps everything transparent. Over time things could change, as more gamblers prefer to stay anonymous.

Anybody noticed the T20 match going between Hungary and Croatia. Hungary have won the toss and decided to bat first. Team have scored 209/8 which is good score. Every player have contributed and the score have reached good. The schedule looks different that two T20 matches were played on the same day. As usual both the teams were also flooded with Asian cricketers, particularly Indians.

The Spanish women team seems to be the obstacle other teams need to pass through before winning the WWC. Today they played absolutely well with a 1-5 win against the Switzerland women's team, the forces the Spain team used against their opponent wasn't something other can underrate because as it stands now, Spain is first to qualify to the quarter finals with a huge win and so much confidence. Their next opponent should be either Japan (which I see winning today's game) or Norway.
Spain is favourite for this cup, i see no team stopping them, winning and scoring 4 goals at first half, is something others team should be scared about. They play with so much confidence,  and are unstoppable, France team is the only team seems to stop them if they meet in the semi finals.
Spain played in an agressive manner and won the match. I don't remember the odds of the match, but it looked like Switzerland is the favourite to win the match. Spain had now confirmed its quarter finals. Japan the only Asian team is doing good and the win is a much expected one. Few teams are at the high chance of winning the Cup were England, France and now Spain have got added to the list. More six teams into the quarter finals. Lets wait and watch those upcoming matches, as miracles could happen in the knockout matches.

If you observe, you can definitely see that the Indian team completely fell apart after Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill got out. Because the opening batsmen did not do the team any favors as they put the team under a lot of pressure by getting out early. Later, only the fall of wickets is seen, those who performed well in the previous matches, came to T20 and performed very poorly. Especially in the ODI matches, the Indian team could do some good things for the team even if they were few in number. But in the T20I match, the Indian team could not meet the West Indies' short run. Because the Indian team failed to win despite trying hard.

The performance of the opening pair is very important in the T20 format. However, it is my belief that the subpar showing of the Indian batsmen cannot be solely attributed to Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill's struggles.. Indian batsmen's performance is erratic as we have been witnessing for a long time. There is no batsman in the squad who is capable of consistently performing well. The performance of every player in the squad has been erratic. And Indian management is not able to solve this problem. They have made several changes in the squad, but their performances have not been consistent. Examining the last two ODI matches, the second encounter showcased a woeful display by the Indian batsmen, while the preceding match witnessed a resounding victory with a margin of 200 runs. Consequently, the Indian batsmen must strive for enhanced consistency in their performances. Batsmen need to be more patient.

India was on 113/4 at one point. It was looking like India was actually going to win the match quite easily in the end. But right at that moment, Hardik Pandya got out. And I have to give credit to the West Indies because they did very well to actually get Sanju Samson out. The throw was really good and I don’t think Sanju Samson actually expected it. He was running like he had already thought that the West Indies player was going to miss. But obviously the West Indies team did very well in this match.

I also agree with @Swordsoffreedom that if India was a little more patient, they could have easily won the match. India lost five wickets trying to get 31 runs. (113-144). The consistency is not there from India.
16th over was the turn of the match. Wickets of Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson happened, the worse thing it was a maiden over from Jason Holder. Consecutive overs didn't see big score and in the final over 10 runs required to win the match and the team was unable to reach the target resulting in a 4 runs win for West Indies team. Next match scheduled for tomorrow and we can expect better performance coming from India team.

All of the sudden when big money reaches them, they stand mute and they don't know what to do. Similar stories were common around the world. Till yesterday his plans would've been somehow build a house, secure his family and so on with the available income. When a big money comes in, he fulfills what he had been planning for, but in a larger scale(mansion). He had never thought of investment during his days as a vegetable vendor. He does what he knows. This is why someone easily fails in life after winning big money through lottery or through some other sources.

Wow! That's a pretty high confidence for a team that just recently broke history by qualifying for this round in their first time. whatsoever Morocco is as a surprise to anyone watching this women world cup and I for one has been amazed by their excellent performance. Although it's quite clear that African teams have done pretty well this time looking at the likes of Nigeria and Morocco who has already qualifed for the next round.
Morocco made history in both Men's And women's World Cup whether in Qatar or in Australia and New Zealand. In Men's competition they were able to reach the semifinals. This time I don't know if their Women could pass France in the round of 16. Odds for Morocco are x16 vs 1.17 for france. Nigeria x12 and South Africa x10. That's quite a sad ending for the African team in this competition?

Yeah Africa has had a nice showing in this cup.  Women's is much more volatile in terms of who can win where men's is much more predictable.  Might throw a couple long shots out there and see if one of them goes through.  Always like a good underdog story I will be rooting for them regardless.
In the men's World Cup similar things happened as unexpected results came out from big teams. In the women's world similar to that leading teams have left and now three African countries on the knockout seems to be the big thing. All the three teams have got good odds, though they're considered the underdog there is possible chances of win. So going with small amounts on the underdog seems fair support for them unlike the outcome of the match.

In what ways have the people living in poverty impacted in the economy?
Share your ideas on the importance of the poor masses in economy sustainability.

Many people think that poor people are the biggest problem, but we have to understand that without poor people there would be no life, no one would want to grow food crops, no one would want to work as a driver delivering groceries, no one would who want to sell food so that there will be no food on the dinner table, the poor have an important role in life.
Being a poor is different from what you've mentioned. All that said here isn't the life of a poor. According to collective data, being poor is unable to meet his basic needs. This includes food, clothing and shelter. If there is increase in the poor people, it means the unemployment in the country is on the rise. This is where government focus on organising different programs to make the poor people's life better. However the impact of the poor people in the economy creates negative thoughts, for this better solution is the distribution of wealth in right proposition than getting accumulated within specific people.

I guess he can be a good transfer between Fulham and Al Shabab because Willian is getting old and soon we can see fewer offers for him but if Fulham sells Willian to Al Shabab in this season they can earn some money and on the other hand, Willian can earn more in the last years of his career.


According to Fabrizio Romano, William has given green light to the move as he's agreed personal terms with Al Shabab, it is left for the two clubs to agree on a transfer fee. William almost left on free transfer to Nottingham Forest but later changed his mind and put to pen a one year contract extension with Fulham and now it's looks like he's heading to the Saudi Arabian professional league. It is going to be a big blow to Marco Silva who already sees William as an integral member of his team but the good news is that they are still going to make some money out of the deal.
The 34 years of age Willian have signed the deal with Al-Shabab. This could've been a big blow, but they aren't ready to give him the better price. Saudi Arabia Pro League is with full of money and the same could've got him better deal. The tranfer at the last moment could make the team into difficulty choosing the right player for the position. Al-Shabab is one among the leading team of Saudi Arabia Pro League. In the last season the team finished at the 4th position and the new players to the team could help them with better performance.

Last year Boracay Island situated in Philippines have become a bitcoin island as adoption and acceptance of bitcoin on different services continue to increase. The inspiration of the Boracay island is from the El Salvador Bitcoin beach. Though it is a small island with population around 15k residents the island have got the beaches that attracts thousands of visitors. This had made it a better business region and for the same reason it is possible to see good number of businesses and restaurants accepting bitcoin.

 Jamaican girls suffered a lot to get into the cup, they don't have support in their confederation


Jamaica women team had a kickstarter campaign to get funds to even go to tournament in first place
cheer for them all the way up

lot of surprises so far, Germany is out as well, three African nations in knock-out phase, South Africa, Nigeria and Morocco
but overall, England is still best favorite to win this, looking at matches so far
The performance from the African teams were the big discussion of the ongoing season of FIFA Women's World Cup. In the knockout stage matches we can expect more surprises. England stands strong as the favourite to win the trophy. However the determination from the small teams were great and the same will keep them going forward. Japan is the only team on the knockout stage, with its tremendous performance I believe Japan can reach the quarter finals.

Once again, India has selected a squad where most of the regular players are missing. And this means that younger players such as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma. On pace bowling front, Mukesh Kumar is likely to open the bowling as both Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are unavailable. For West Indies, the fact that their opponents have sent a second-string side should increase their chances. Indian batting looked brittle during the first two matches in the ODI series and if West Indies wins the toss and take a few quick wickets then they can put India under pressure.
West Indies have won the toss and chosen to bat first. Arshdeep Singh have opened the bowling. West Indies team had started good scoring 16-0 in 2 overs. India have added spin bowlers to the lineup, as Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya contribute as all rounder. India have got good batting line-up, and depending on the target from the West Indies team we can see the varying pressure upon the Indian team.

Mane has made the best decision for himself after going through difficult times at Bayern Munich. Now that he is with a club that values him, Mane also received a fantastic salary offer from Al Nassr. Playing side by side with Ronaldo will make Al Nassr attack line even sharper, the collaboration of these two players can increase Al Nassr number of goals in the Saudi Arabia pro league. Mane has been in the right environment based on his religion, he will spend time with Ronaldo after getting everything in European competition.
Actually Sadio Mané frustrated what happen with him self in Bayern Munich after arriving Thomas Tuchel, difficult become regular position and head coach never trust him for becoming main player. He has waiting more than several months to get trust from Tuchel but not good respond after new manager change Sadio Mané more spent in the bench and played several matches as substitute players.

Right decision from Sadio Mané accepting Al Nassr offer and he will get most expensive salary for getting chance partner with Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané still on the top perform, he will help Al Nassr get chance for winning domestic league next season and qualifying in AFC Champions League trough qualifying round.
Good decision to move to Al-Nassr and join the lineup along with Ronaldo. His expectations were different and the way things ended is different. He mentioned, he could've helped the team this season and prove his ability to everyone. Before that things have happened in the other way and now he's to help the new club master the Saudi Arabia Pro League.

This isn't the last, we'll see more popular names into the league getting signed. Among all the clubs it is Al-Nassr which is throwing big money into the recruitment of popular players.

You must not think you will become rich through gambling, it's really wrong. Yeah maybe you could hit a jackpot and win a money that worth $1,000,000 by just spending $50 to buy few tickets, but if you're not have a good financial management and maintain your wealth, you will lose all of your money.

You have two options; temporary get rich through gambling or you can gamble all the time after getting rich through other sector.
It is good to go with the second option, because this lets you gamble for fun and not to grow your wealth. When one considers gambling as a source of income, it'll give relaxation for some time period when you're on the winning streak. One cannot expect the same to happen throughout, it lasts till one have the luck. There are people who make regular earning out of gambling, and this is through experience and the earnings doesn't make them rich. It used to be mere amount that gives the satisfaction of win.
376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 02, 2023, 02:16:28 PM
India's team showed its power show in the last ODI match. They gave a huge target to West Indies team with its excellent performance. And now they have won the series. And tomorrow they will enter in the new phase means these two teams will start its T20 series. And we can't say what will happen? West Indies looks better in T20 matches but don't say anything now.
It does not look like India is playing an away series, and also, it does not look like West Indies is playing in their home ground. The games are not even competitive enough. Both teams play with young players. West Indies won the 2nd game because of India's batting failure. But they came back strongly in the 3rd game and scored 350.
350 is the highest score in this series so far. Rest two games were low scoring. India won both the Test and ODI series comfortably. The T20I series is ahead, but I believe West Indies is a strong side in T20I. I hope we will see some competitive cricket there.
You are right. This match does not look like a West Indies home match. West Indies lost the home match by 200 runs. Indian players are getting facilities at the West Indies pitch. When the Indian batsmen batted it felt like a batting-friendly pitch. On the other hand, when the batsmen of West Indies batted, it seemed that the pitch was bowling friendly. We saw the strange batting of the West Indies players.
After a poor performance in the previous two matches, such a comeback was much needed for India. India won this match by 200 runs. As a result, the confidence of the players increased. The team will perform in the Asia Cup after a few days. It will then play the ODI World Cup later this year. Continuity in the ODI format is very important for the Indian players right now.
@BALIK this was indeed a great comeback by the young Indian team after they had faced a humiliating defeat in the second ODI but I hope that they don’t get carried away by this victory because defeat in the second ODI showed that they yet have to improve a lot if they wish to beat big team’s like Australia and England. Lastly this match also showed that the team can do well without Kohli and Rohit and I believe that their time is almost up and soon they’ll be dropped from the ODI format permanently.

This series was important for India. Because they played this series without the two best players in their squad, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
In the first two matches, we saw very poor batting from Indian batsmen. However, luckily they won one match and lost one in the first two matches. Still, the Indian management has faith in this squad. And India's performance in the third ODI has impressed everyone. Indian players showed great dominance as they set a huge target of 352. India won by 200 runs. India will also play well in Asia Cup as their players are confident now.
It was the opportunity availed for the young Indian team. It looked like the team gonna mess up, based on the poor performance coming from the players in the first two matches. In the final ODI, everyone played in a much responsible manner. This is a must win series to hold the confidence before the Asia Cup, World Cup and the series against Ireland and Australia in the upcoming months.

Whether it is local lottery or something universal the winning chance is all connected with the luck factor. With these kind of groups the winning probability can be increased. However these are just kind of trick, and the same doesn't assure wins in few trials or within limited spending.

When it comes to lottery or gambling it is always good to be individual participation than as a group. Surely there'll be conflict between the group members. At some situation if a group have bought lotteries of specific number and missed it by small difference, surely someone could've requested to buy those lotteries earlier and the same could be problematic.

Broad retired and Ali followed him too. Weird thing is that Anderson still hasn't retired which isn't smart at all considering the fact that he might not be selected for Ashes 2025 in my opinion.

All teams should adopt the epic Bazball approach in order to make tests way more interesting since England has proven that it's an effective strategy.

@Haunebu Broad and Ali are right to retire now because this is the perfect time to groom in other player’s and I also think that they were keen to avoid injuries too. Lastly even I’m baffled as to why Anderson didn’t announce his retirement because he could have retired on a high note and maybe he probably wants one last glory hence he’s holding out but only time will tell if he made the right choice or not.
Moeen Ali have already retired and he had comeback on request from Ben Stokes. This is the right time for him to retire and he had made a fun statement. Earlier Ben Stokes have requested to join the squad for Ashes Test Series through message and he had agreed. Now he had mentioned then onwards he will delete the message from Ben Stokes. Both Broad and Moeen Ali have got good wickets and this seems to be a gloryful end. For Anderson things didn't work, maybe if he had taken few wickets the retirement could've been announced.

Further on exploring more about bitcoin understood the need of bitcoin. Now the importance is much upon investment, trading and gambling.

380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 01, 2023, 11:39:22 PM
After a long time I saw a big run in the Indian opening pair. In the third ODI match against West Indies, India managed to put together a huge partnership of 162 runs in the opening pair. Building on a big partnership of 162 runs by the opening pair, India are now at 295 after 45 overs where they have lost four wickets to make 295 runs. 
Today's match can be India's as India are batting well from the start. If India can do well in bowling as well as batting, India will definitely win this match.

Still with 5 overs left to play in the first innings as Hardik Pandya and SKY are on the wicket, I think 70 to 80 runs can be scored in the last five overs. If India can score 70 runs in the last five overs, the target for West Indies will be 380 plus.

West indie would be happy that they have atleast won one ODI and are not whitewashed in ODI series. No Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli today but Indian batting was well prepared for today's game. An opening stand of 143 in just 20 overs led the foundation of huge target. WI have already lost 3 wikcets at a score of 29 runs in 10 overs. An easy win for India today that will also let them win the series.
West Indies need to play better. Being the leader of cricket in the past and now they're completely different. India played very carefully and it is good that each and every player contributed good other than Gaikwad. Big win to win the ODI series. Shardul Thakur and Mukesh Kumar have bowled well and restricted West Indies team by 151 runs. West Indies used to be good in T20 cricket and lets see if they can play good in the 5 match series.
