What if for the next match India give rest to their 2 seamers (Ishant + 1 more) and include Ashwin and Thakur saab?

No changes in the batting order and inclusion of Ashwin and Thakur might able to do some damage control because our middle order is not in great form and Pant is looking dim too.

Jaddu, Ashwin, Thakur batting at number 7,8,9 looks okay.



Ashwin will be the best option available because of his experience. Another important aspect about Ashwin is that he can bat down the order. You cannot depend on Ishant for batting down the line. I still think India will not go for any changes in the next match but depending on the wicket they might.

I have never played fantasy cricket but I have heard it is very interesting. Some apps do allow you to play in demo tournaments for you to understand the concept. I still do not understand how can these apps be legal in South Asian countries where gambling is banned? As per my understanding, most of these apps are promoting gambling. Does anyone know what loophole are they using to show them as a legal entity?

Fantasy sports is not considered as gambling and that presents a loophole in countries where proper gambling is banned. And this is also one of the reasons why fantasy cricket is so popular in South Asia. The other legal avenues to gamble are not available, and therefore the gamblers flock to sites such as MPL and Dream XI. But recently the media have been critical of fantasy cricket. They claim that it is just like lottery and a lot of people have lost their money after getting addicted to it. They have strict requirement for participants that they should be aged 18 or above, but sometimes the participants use fake information to gain entry.

Fantasy cricket not being considered as gambling is a huge gain for those behind these two apps. Being under aged and still able to participate is a big issue for online gambling platforms. Noting can be done unless they make KYC mandatory. BTW, do these fantasy cricket app ask their users to go through KYC or not? Most South Asian countries have made KYC mandatory.

Every God damn IDO platforms are a pain in the ass to participate in their presales, too strict and 100% based on luck I don't like the idea at all, my advice is invest your money on NFT projects instead, they are skyrocketing liken crazy, I have 1000 PYR that I bought for 2$ each now it's 5$ per token, do your own research


NFT is overhyped at the moment so, if you want to cash the hype then do invest. But this hype will not last long and anytime the bubble will burst so be cautious. If you still want to go with the IDO platform then I would suggest you concentrate on only one or two platforms. Your are dealing with more than three platforms therefore you are missing out. Shift all your amounts from these platforms to any two of your choice and then give it a try.

It is hard to tell just by reading your topic, what your friend might be doing with the borrowed money?

If he is doing day trading then he might be a pro to make a profit in this volatile market. At the moment we are in a bear market and it is very hard to tell when the bull market will return. I am not sure why did he commit to you the Bitcoin price would pump by December this year. No one has been able to predict when Bitcoin will pump. I would recommend you to wait till December and then question him if he is unable to deliver what he promised.

I have never been into Fantasy cricket but i have heard it from some of my friends. Do we have have to invest in the game to earn the money and normally how much  person can earn from this on an average.
You pick a team of 11 players and if they perform you earn points and picking the captain and vice captain of the team is important because if they perform you will get double the points. There a ton of apps that provide fantasy cricket and i did participate in the past during world cup match and it was fun and you need to shell out some money, first spend small amount and understand the concept and then go for bigger amount if you are confident.

3686  Local / Buyer/ Seller Reputations (India) / Re: Got scammed by localbitcoins trader Prateeketc. Help required on: August 30, 2021, 12:24:04 PM
Myself shahid from mumbai. I had an old stash of btc with me which i wanted to cash out. I choose to deal from localbitcoins. Since i did not have a verfied account there, i decided to contact a trader and execute a deal outside of localbitcoins.

I first contacted "Abidhussainf" but our times did not match so i went ahead and contacted another trader who goes by the id "Prateeketc". I contacted him on his whatsapp number  8217331774. He replied quickly and we dealt without escrow for Rs. 20000. Since the deal was successful, i decided to proceed with another deal of 50000 INR to which i sent him around 0.015 btc. He assured me that he will send me the funds in 10 minutes after which he went offline from whatsapp and even blocked me on calls now.

I got in touch with the local police station today who refereed me to cyber crime bran to register a case of fraud. They have asked me to submit his details asap. If anybody here has any details about this person kindly let me know.

Also it would be great if you guys please suggest me what other option i have to recover my amount
Unfortunately, there is absolutely no chance that you would be able to recover your money, if you have whatsapp chat and some details of that person you can lodge an FIR against the person in both civil as well as criminal law. But I am not too hopeful that they will help you in tracing that person, try contacting local bitcoin support if you can get any identity details of that person, also try to request police officers or even offer kickbacks to get the details attached with the phone number he is using because if you can find him chances are you will be able to recover the money

Every seller or buyer on local bitcoin nowadays has to go through KYC. I do not think the OP is telling the complete truth. He himself might be a scammer trying to find out loopholes by posting this topic.

Op did not use local bitcoins escrow service, therefore he is responsible for his loss. Local bitcoin will not provide any information to him as he never used their platform. Op cannot do anything here and do not believe in what he is saying as he might be either a competitor or a  fraudster. Did he provide on this forum any link where we can see the FIR he raised?

Another thing is his first post and he came to Bitcointalk asking for a solution. Where there are many forums to do the same, he also did not mention it in his post.

I would recommend everyone here to ignore his post as he might be a scammer.
3687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 29, 2021, 10:20:27 AM
India certainly need some changes in their batting order and inclusion of Ashwin in the playing 11 is also needed. I feel Jadeja must be sent to bat ahead of risabh pant. Most of the cases we see jadeja running out of partners his batting has improved a lot and i feel he can be given more responsibility with the bat now.
The complete batting order was a failure in the first innings. In the second innings except K L Rahul, Rishab Pant and Rahane most of them scored. Rahul won't be replaced and I think either Pant or Rahane might be dropped. It is a possibility that no changes are made to the batting order.

There are so many websites that can help you daily. These are the websites that I visit regularly to stay up to date.

1. Bitcointalk

There are others too but these are the one that I visit everyday.

It is five match series. The second T20 is scheduled to take place tomorrow. The match will be interesting to watch, because the winning have boosted the Zimbabwe team to play better cricket. Ireland on the other side makes careful decisions and stable move, because a win at this level is a must to take advantage on winning the series. If this match gets lost, the pressure to win keeps rising and the same diatracts the performance.

I watched the Ireland innings in the first match and have to say that they deserved to lose. The batsmen were very complacent, especially after the first wicket partnership between Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling. The remaining batsmen wanted to finish the match quickly and went for useless shots. The Zimbabweans were patients and restricted their bowling to good line and length rather than trying something funny. And they got rewarded for it. Just 5 runs were needed from the last over, and the Irish batsmen couldn't even manage that.
They still have 4 more matches to play. It is a  possibility that their attitude changes from next match onwards. Zimbabwe has been playing a few matches before this tournament, that is why they are playing better than the Irish team.
3690  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin = 100k by December on: August 29, 2021, 03:19:49 AM
The possibility to get to $100k is still very wide open, we can see now BTC is gradually approaching that value, but if for this year it may be too soon, we need to wait some more time to see if there is more positive news on BTC that can emerge. only BTC will reach $100k faster and it will make a lot of people benefit if they have bought BTC when the price is low.

Bitcoin reached a new ATH of 65k in the month of May this year. I do not think it will reach 100k this year. It will surely reach theirs by next year. Considering at the moment we are in a Bear market, if it was not the bear market then it would have been this year only. Although no one has been able to predict the Bitcoin price, my speculation is based on its price history. If history repeats itself then it would be next year when the price will go beyond 100k.

India losing by an innings didn't surprise me at all since their batting has been unpredictable in this match. Robinson absolutely demolished them. However, the most entertaining part of this match was this.

https://youtu.be/wsIq3dBH6nY

Jarvo is seriously something else. He improved the entertainment quotient of this particular test series in my opinion. Crazy dude!

I still had that slightly feeling that they might be able to draw this match. Another humilating defeat has been added to Kohli's cap. The first innings was a disaster. Two more matches left, if India wants to win this tournament then they have to win both of them. I doubt that will be possible considering the form of Indian batsmen.
3692  Local / India / Re: Whats happening with Binance/WazirX on: August 28, 2021, 11:29:58 PM
Important update about Wazirx INR withdrawal, all the transactions related to withdrawal for pending for hours but now everything seems cleared so anyone is waiting for their withdrawal can process and get the funds back to your account.

In the recent days, INR deposits and withdrawals has been an issue and anyone knows the reason behind the maintenance from Wazirx too often?

It is an ongoing issue and nowadays with WazirX, it has been happening quite frequently now. Few days back they suddenly stopped Tron deposit. One of my friend told me that his tron were stuck in the Blockchain for 72 hours. Later on when the opened Tron deposit, it took them another 24 hours to update his tron. I think they are not able to handle such an influx of new users.

NFT is over hyped and any digital art on the market place is getting sold for crazy amount of money. I do not think this will go on for a long time. It is just like the ICO times, people were investing in shit digital arts, later on they will realize what a mistake it. I still do not understand why people are crazy about pixelated images? Very soon the government would start to look into the NFT space if money laundering is the reason for this hype.
3694  Local / India / Re: Buying BTC in India on: August 28, 2021, 03:12:09 AM
Now many exchange are give opportunity to buy btc in easy way but I think Wazrix and binance exchange are best  for buying btc because we can easily deposit own currency and buy from p2P and don't issue any scam and also have a very low fee
The problem with both Binance and WazirX is that you have to complete KYC. If you are okay with that then go ahead. Another thing is that the fee in fiat value will be high when you withdraw Bitcoin from these two exchange.  If not then you can try Paxful, it doesn't ask for KYC and also the fee is less.

When India started the second innings it was trail by 354 runs which is a big score and I came across news sources stating India is on hard fight to avoid innings loss to England. End of the session has showed the potential of India's top order making a big innings and now trail by 139 runs. This itself a big thing, and this time I believe the top order will make miracle same as the one did by the bottom order in the previous match.
India will loose by an innings, scoring 78 runs in the first innings and then failing to restrict England means we need to see some sort of miracle if England comes out to bat for their second innings which is highly unlikely. Even if they bat throughout the day tomorrow how many runs they are going to get and their game plan is to extend the England win as long as possible to save face.

It is a good comeback for India they have lost only two wickets and are now trailing by just 139 runs. Pujara is on 91 and I am sure he will score his century on day 4. India has to utilize day 4 completely if they want to win this match. The chance of wining is bleak but there is no harm in giving a try.

What's would be happened between Ireland and Zimbabwe match ? Twenty20 matches are being held between Ireland and Zimbabwe in preparation for the World Cup. I will put Zimbabwe ahead as a team. Which team do you have a chance to win?



BTW, Zimbabwe won the match. They have more experience than Ireland and they have played a few tournaments recently. But their win was not so convincing. Ireland could have defeated them if they had wickets in hand. ZIM only won by 3 runs, so the competition is good. It is a three-match tournament, next one would be interesting.

Get your hands-on big income by following these ways to earn cryptocurrency without spending money
1. Give a Try on Crypto Mining
2. Engage in DeFi Yield Farming
3. Just Shop and get ‘Bitcoin Back’
4. Get Cryptos through Airdrop
5. Earn Cryptocurrency Dividents
6. Get Employed at Cryptocurrency Companies


1. Crypto mining is a costly affair it is better to look into staking.
2. This is a good way to earn passive income but you need to be very cautious and careful, otherwise you might end up investing in a scam token.
3. But you need to spend fiat first and then you will get Bitcoin. It is better to buy Bitcoin directly using fiat.
4. Not all airdrops are scams but it is very hard to find a good airdrop nowadays.
5. It is better to hold your Bitcoin and other crypto-assets in a non-custodial wallet which should be open source. You will earn good returns just by HODLING.
6. If you can get a job at an employer that pays in cryptos, then this is the perfect way to earn cryptocurrencies.

I use Exodus for my wallet, but something Im worried about is the possibility of my account getting banned for being under the required age to use their service. How high is the chance that my investments evaporate because my account gets banned by exodus?

Why don't you switch to another wallet that is open source and noncustodial?

I do not think Exodus had asked you to fill up a signup form when you activated the wallet. So, how will they know about your age? But, if you still fear that they might block your wallet account then move your crypto assets to another wallet like Electrum.

India's all nightmares came true in this test match, 2 extremely dominated days for England with the ball and bat. This time English team meant only business, guess all criticism worked pretty well for them and why not every bowler chipped in for them, even out of form Sam Curran took the wickets. In the first 2 tests their batting was all Joe Root, who is in his career best form but here their top 4 came back in top notch form.

Atm big defeat looking very clear and odds are against Indian team but in last 8-9 months we have seen some fine comeback from this Indian team be it MCG, Sydney, Gabba or The lords. So Indian fan must be dreaming about 2 daddy hundreds and couple of 100s from the top order and their celebrated middle order Puji, kohli, Rahane. Seems impossible task for out of form middle order but that's a only way they can draw the match and redeem themselves as batting unit.

Or they can move directly to Oval.  Grin

England has a lead of 345 runs still they have wickets in their hands and this lead will increase. This match is being completed dominated by the English team. India's chance of winning or drawing this match is very bleak. Indian batting was pathetic, what were they thinking? James Anderson completely destroyed the Indian batting order and now the bowlers are not able to take wickets.

I was watching the news closely about the situation and there are some protest from woman from some parts of Afghanistan, earlier they used to execute people in public when they protest and this time they are allowing these to happen. But the general viewpoint is that since there is international media covering these things, the Taliban is letting that happen and once that dies down they will enforce their barbarian rule.

Sports will be affected without a doubt and Rashid Khan who is their successful player conveyed his situation as he is not able to help his relatives back home.

It is a just a matter of time before the ICC suspends Afghanistan from its primary membership. They did the same when South Africa implemented apartheid policies. So why should it be any different this time? If they allow Afghanistan to participate in the ICC tournaments and receive funding, then there is no guarantee that the funds will not flow into the Taliban treasury. Hopefully Afghan players like Rashid Khan and Mujibur Rahman will be able to make a living by playing in franchise leagues around the world.

ICC has not decided yet, I guess about Afghanistan. I am not sure what action they will take but they should ban Afghanistan from playing International cricket until this issue is solved. At the moment Taliban controls that country but has not formed any government. After the 31st most probably they will form the government. You can expect a decision by ICC after the Taliban confirms that they now have officially taken over Afghanistan.
