381  Economy / Speculation / Re: what a surprise dip on: August 20, 2023, 11:46:01 PM
I don't even know why there is whole lot of thread created about this dip experienced as we all know what Bitcoin is , and that it's a volatile currency and these sudden drop and dip are all part of it's nature so for me instead of people whining and complaining why not just use this as an opportunity to grow and currently more BTC seeing that if you buy now the ratio of amount that will be bought is going to be big
Well said, market crash and price decline is part of the bitcoin price movement. We could experience this kind of unexpected market volatility in large scale, and whenever such thing happens automatically people start to connect some incident happening around the cryptomarket. Maybe this can be a coincidence, and later the same into speculation leads to downturn and uplifting of the price. For now it is time to buy through Dollar Cost Average technique to have better holding of bitcoin for the bigger profit as the market could turn completely bullish anytime.

Will this be a rivalry match as Djokovic have lost to Alcaraz in the Wimbledon match after hard fight. This is the next encounter between the two. Djokovic have won the semifinal match against Zverev in direct sets, but those were really tough as the sets were close 77-65 7-5. Once again waiting for a match between the top two seeds.This is the maiden Cincinnati Masters final for Alcaraz and he had been among the four players to reach 45 or more Masters win before turning 21. Earlier in the list were Nadal, Djokovic and Roddick.

This is a perfect match up for the final, I'm sure the organisers are ecstatic to
have their two top seeded mens players 1 and 2 play each other in the final! I'm feeling
that this is going to be a regular finals match up for the next year or so.

Alcaraz yesterday had a tough match against Hurkacz, particularly the second set.

Djokovic got past Zverev in 2 sets, he is looking in great form.

What about todays final? I'm going with Alcaraz the underdog @ 2.40
Thats a great start for Alcaraz to win the first set 7-5. The underdog @2.40 had shifted to Djokovic @3.50 which is based on the less chances of his comeback. The first set have lasted for an hour, now itself both the players might've got tired. Stamina plays an important role, and this time it looks like direct set win for Alcaraz based on earlier performance of Djokovic in the ongoing masters. Djokovic haven't lost any of the sets in this masters and the first loss had taken place.

Spain winning the FIFA Women World Cup today is the highlight of my day. Aside from being one of the best teams in the competition and having had a good run. I wanted them to win as a revenge against England for knocking out my country, Nigeria. And right now I am already over the moon because they have already won. They were able to maintain their momentum from the first half until the last whistle. A win for them is a win for Europe and for Africa. They have made history. Congratulations to them and congratulations also to Oceania for the success of the competition.
Spain have won the FIFA World Cup 1-0 against England. Congrats team Spain and England was the favourite for the year. There is big expectation on Nigeria, as the African team to be one among the semi finalist. Carmona made the goal in the 29th minute and further Spain followed the defensive strategy. This made England unable to make goals. Anyhow one more new country gets added to the World Cup winners list.

Ireland vs India
Today's 2nd T20 match of the team will start in a very short time. Today's match between two teams will be held at The Village, Dublin ground. I see more chances of India team to win this match. Because India team has very strong batting starting from bowling. Ireland team batsmen.  Sometimes, as I see the performance, I don't think that India can win with the team. If the Indian team can give the target of 160 runs by batting earlier today, then India will win this match very easily.
The first T20 match got interrupted and the result were based on the DLS method. Today the weather is good, bright and sunny. There is very less chance of match interruption due to rain. Totally 17 matches played in the Village, Dublin and Ireland have just won two matches. Out of the 17, batting first have won 7 times and chasing have won 10 times. Average first innings score to be around 150 - 160 runs. I prefer India to bat first and reach score around 200 runs. Ireland seems to be good in chasing which makes the match much interesting.

The answer to a debate that is constantly discussed on social media accounts and news outlets may open doors to different answers for everyone. So, Why Bitcoin Instead of Gold for you?

If this topic has been discussed before, I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me.


If you can hold both, the better. There is no need for debating, but one of the reasons why people choose Bitcoin instead of gold is that they know. I mean, you are truly anonymous, and you can bring it anywhere you go, unlike having gold bars that you can't bring because they are too heavy. Also, one of the reasons is that the volatility of Bitcoin is unlike gold, which had a stable upward price, whereas Bitcoin will jump high as fast as overnight and also go down abruptly, which is what risk-taking people really want.
Yes, holding both seems to be the fair thing. The anonymity is a great feature that gives the secure feeling. Not many prefer this, most of them choose bitcoin over gold for its accessibility. However the anonymity feature is much used by people who are into gambling and related stuffs. Apart from this, to overcome cross border transaction the anonymity feature helps and that are used by very small percentage of people. These days even the anonymity is shattered with the requirement of KYC from gambling and exchange platforms. The ultimate for which bitcoin preferred is the growth on the investment.

I disagree with you saying that bitcoin's anonymity feature is being used mainly by gambling enthusiasts. There are many ordinary users who are fed up with government control and are also using bitcoin to get rid of that control.
But I agree with you that most people choose bitcoin because of its strong growth rate and not because it is decentralized or gives them privacy.  that's why we see that the number of investors using centralized exchanges remains high even though centralized exchanges are disrupting bitcoin's decentralization.
Gambling is among the most used industry. Just think of a scenario in which an ordinary person use bitcoin. He needs to buy from an exchange where he have fulfilled KYC and from there he could use some mixing service and make himself anonymous. Apart from that he should buy bitcoin in person paying fiat in cash and receiving bitcoin in a non custodial wallet. These days anonymity is not much effective as regulated usage is encouraged.

You like to get profits in short period of time,which is not the easy task.Most of the people will spend huge time to buy the particular coin,because they investing their valuable money.Only the good project will give you returns,the scam or fake project will take your money gradually and finally your holding will become a zero value.Many people hold their money in the valuable coin,they need to wait for the profit from such coin.Patience is the key needed for the good profit from your holding money.

Putting a business and making profit from it will take time. You need to undergo a trial and error first to apply specific strategies to make your business grow. There's no shortcut to successful business as you still need to consider lots of things to ensure that your business will work in an specific location, target consumers and people's demand.
If you want to have an assurance of making profit from your business, you need to polish everything first but that doesn't mean that you will not experience hardships and challenges. There's no instant success in building a business as competitions are everywhere but if you put hardwork and dedication, things will surely work.
As OP thinks, business is not an easy thing to bring revenue once after the launch. When it is your own effort it takes more time to establish the business and turn it to be successful. Not many have the patience to enjoy the goodness of business. When it comes to business it is not like the eight hours job, the input we give will bring us the profit.

For now to have assured profit soon after the launch is through franchise. You could go for a leading brand's franchise with huge investment and the location should be good enough to attract people. This could bring assured profit. Apart from this every business takes time to profit the owner.
389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: August 19, 2023, 10:42:45 PM
I've got the same feeling of OP. This happened long back when I was much into gambling and my mind always think of recovering the losses. For this I used to wake up in between the sleep and gamble. Those aren't necessary and mostly my losing happens whenever I get tempted to gamble hiding from my wife. In such scenario I gamble fast, because I need to make something before she is next to me. Most of the time I used to loss few dollars and in the urge to recover before she comes I end up losing everything.

It was unexpected that Barry McCarthy would come in to bat at number 8 and play such a brilliant innings. I think the Indian bowlers don't expect that either. However, Ireland provided a good enough target. Even then, their chances of winning are slim. Ireland's bowlers are not world class.
Wonder what the odds were when Ireland were 7 down before Barry McCarthy came down to bat. No one expected them to score 140 odd runs in the end.
Though it was a win for India, the performance that came from the lower order is really great and a needed one by that moment. As said if they weren't able to score the runs scored could've been less than 100 runs as Ireland lost 6 wickets for 59 runs.

It's a big win for the associate team but we shouldn't forget that Kiwis sent a rookie team on this tour and it's becoming a norm for everyone.
Glad that i did not place a bet in this match, in records New Zealand was defeated by UAE irrespective of the team they sent  Cheesy.
Maybe this can be the alternate team, but it should've won the match. Big day for UAE and hope this win could boost them and expect to win the final T20 match which decide the series winner.

Rudhravel sasirekha's quality of play was good but he was also got out after collected 25 runs. It may still be very difficult for UAE to win the match.  Because the UAE team has very few good batsmen out of which 2 have already been out. New Zealand is good in cricket, they have a record of winning many tournaments and can win matches with even better teams than UAE. UAE seems to be doing well in cricket recently so they don't have long experience in cricket like New Zealand has. But it is not right to neglect the UAE.  Because besides playing well in the game, luck also plays a role.  UAE can win tough matches if they are lucky there
The target from New Zealand(143 runs) is very low against any team. Particularly this is New Zealand's lowest against non test playing nation. UAE have played really well and the contribution of Waseem (55 runs from 29 balls) and Asif (48* runs from 29 balls) had helped the team March towards the historical win. UAE have got good winning record in home ground, but it had lost all the seven matches played in Dubai. This is the first match won by UAE in Dubai Stadium and reached the target in the 16thover.

Second T20 between New Zealand and UAE have begun. Same as the first match UAE have won the toss and decided to bowl. In the first match UAE had a winning chance, but they weren't able to make it a historical match. The performance from the first match have increased the expectation and I expect better score from New Zealand team. In the first match debutant Aryansh Sharma performed well. Lets see if something miraculous could happen in this match. End of first over New Zealand have scored 4 runs.

Well, the mother cannot force him to stop because he is never going to, but calmly, if he's being advised on the reasons why not to gamble, then he might stop, and to get him to stop, you will also be giving him some advice, asking him to heed the mother's advice. If the guy is truly not gambling with his mom's money or even stealing to gamble, then there's nothing wrong; gambling is not a bad thing. Although the woman should just take her time to access the boy and know if he is stealing from her, there are ways to tempt him and see if he falls into the temptation of stealing to gamble. If he is not, just advise her to let her son gamble.
When it comes to gambling, people won't easily accept the reality when briefed by a person next to them. Only on experience they'll understand the reality. The mother can restrict him, but these days kids are not in a state to understand rather they try to explore. The habit of using the savings for gambling will make him further go earn to gamble as years pass. Such scenario shouldn't happen, before that necessary measures need to be taken by his family.

Congratulations Sweden Women tems...
Australia women's team performed poorly today and did not work hard enough to win. The Swedish women's team had a lot of luck, which led to a foul inside the Australia D-box early on and resulted in a penalty decision. And there was a one goal lead which gave Sweden a one goal lead and then they won by another goal. However, the Australian team is very forward in attack rather they lost to their luck as many attacks were missed from in front of the D box by the players of the Australian women's team. However, the defenders of the Swedish team were very strong and the Australian team could not succeed in the attack.
The Sweden women deserved the third place bronze,they really played well in this Tournament, The Australia team also had a successful tournament regardless of their loss today.

The final is tomorrow, England will give their all to clinch the title, but Spain is a team to beat. It's gonna be very difficult for both team.
Sweden Women's team deserves to be on the top position. Throughout the tournament Sweden performed well. Starting from the qualifiers the performance is big as most of the matches used to have big difference in the goal count. In the match against Finland it took 5 goals, against China it scored 4 goals. Against Italy it made 5 goals and it was quite dominant. In its important match against USA, the team did well in the penalty shootout and won against Japan. Gave good fight against Spain, but they wasn't able to win against the performance of Spain. Finally the third spot is a much appreciated win.

Due to rain ,the match is being played by DLS method.At this point, India need 92 runs in 13 overs to beat Ireland.If we look at the score rating, we need 7 runs in every over.Need seven runs in every over which is very easy for India's bestman if he is performing this well in batting.Due to DLS method  this match has become very easy for India and I hope they will this match easily.
Finally the match is won by India by 2 runs. Ireland made a target of 139 runs. Rain interruption delayed the match and finally with the DLS method India won the match. India need to score 46 runs and they reached it losing two wickets in 6.5 overs. Anyhow at a small margin the match have gone in favour of India. If not, this match could've been a win for Ireland team.

Continued loss leads to further loss. This is how my gambling experience used to be. When I was on the winning side I used to have control over my activity. Whether it is sports betting or casino games, my losing bets further leads to big loss. This happens out of the recovery process. When lost I tend to recover and keep on wagering which isn't the right way of controlled gambling. I should take a break by that time. Here my mind suggest to take a break after recovering the loss which is the big mistake most gamblers does.
397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: August 17, 2023, 05:55:02 PM

The match is unpredictable because both countries are strong and I think that Australia might win the game and not Sweden because they will use the their last strength to play the game,but I might be wrong on this. I will love to see who will win on that day because I haven't really had time to watch the matches since the world cup started but the semifinals motivated me.
Both the teams on the competence for the third position is really strong. Based on the performance throughout the FIFA World Cup matches both Australia and Sweden are doing their best. Sweden defeated Japan in the quarter finals which is truly a strong team. Australia won the World Cup favourite France on the penalty shootout which is really surprising and big achievement. Earlier Australia won against Denmark, whereas Sweden won against USA, Argentina. So, from the beginning both the teams have faced the best ones to fight for the third position. Lets see who gonna win the match.

Aryansh Sharma scored 60 runs from 43 balls. His wicket fell at the last ball of 15th over. Once after his wicket match had gone into the hands of New Zealand. A big opportunity missed, at the end we were able to see the lack of experience. To score 40 runs from 30 balls, the players never think of scoring 1's and 2's. They were all going for big shots and focused on boundaries. In the last over UAE requires 22 runs. At the end New Zealand have won the match by 19 runs as UAE lost every wickets scoring 136 runs in 19.4 overs.

Such dreams haven't come. Myself have dreamt of being super rich gambling. This happened years back when I was able to make good win on each and every roll. The capital is very small and I was very lucky that every roll on Dice used to be a win. Finally I started to go with big money, even those were win. Beyond certain point I was out of control and looked for fast money increasing the bet value. During those days I used to dream myself being rich through gambling. The reality happened within few days losing everything, even the capital.

Anonymity is a big feature that attracted huge number of gamblers towards cryptocurrency based gambling platforms. This is all because of the privacy concern and at the beginning days the Casinos too didn't consider it a big thing. With time the regulatory needs, competence and the illegal transactions made the Casinos request KYC. However it is possible to play and withdraw limited amount without kyc. So, the Whale gamblers are the must to fulfill KYC as the deposit and withdrawal will be big.
