Its not that they lack talent, they have fair amount of talented players but their politics and racial drama #ucking everything for them.. Just look at the recent drama in CSA management, they are sacking CEO every now then and dragging each other into court rooms.

It is not just the racial tensions. I would rate the CSA as one of the most incompetent and corrupt cricket governance bodies among the test nations. They would even give the Zimbabwe board a run for their money in this regard. I agree that the talent is still there. But a lot of the younger South African players think that grabbing a European passport and going Kolpak is the only viable option they got.

If they don't find a decent opportunity at home, then there is no option left for the players. They just cant stay in their country if they got the talent and outside world is willing to hire them for good rates.

It is a combination of many factors. Domestic teams are allowed only five (out of the 11) on the basis of merit. The remaining six players come from racial quota. On top of this, the number of domestic first class teams stand at just 6 in South Africa (for comparison, this is 18 in England and 37 in India). So only 30 white players can represent the domestic sides. Salaries are also quite low. South African domestic teams usually pay around 1/4th or 1/5th of the salary that the English county teams pay.

@JSRAW yea CSA is messed up and it’s due to their colour based polices, that they have never been able to succeed for long spells in any format. Also I don’t blame the player’s for choosing to play for other countries, because they’re very well aware that they’ll never be picked due to their colour, and which player would like to waste his career by sitting on the sidelines?.

I hope that the Tennis sport is also included in the betting, especially in the next few days there will be a US Open Grand Slam. I'm only make bet in sport that I like to watch the match.
In last few days they are not adding sporting events like we have few Soccer matches and Tennis matches hopefully in next few days as new European seasons they will add some good number of events because now members numbers are increasing very quickly so good time for doing this all and have their share of sports betting market.

Yes I to would like to see some tennis games added once the US Open starts in just a few days time. As it will make up for not many football games being played right now as most of the seasons are completed. Also we got the IPL cricket season to look forward to in September so hopefully there will be many games to bet on here.
This is really strange they suddenly stop post many events because now its good time for any site to attract more players but they are not doing any thing for this just few Russian Premier League games and nothing else right now NBA play off's in progress but no game available for betting and Tennis events also not available as well.

Just keep in mind that they are not a full featured sports betting site.
They only have selected bets available on their betting page. If you need to bet on your favorite sports or match which is not listed there, then you need to go on a full fledged sports betting site.

What we can put up is limited by how busy we are with other issues. There's quite a bit of manual work involved for each event.


@IndyMoney if you want some popular tournaments to be listed out in the Freebitco betting section, then you should write those tournaments name out here at least few days in advance, and then depending on their popularity team Freebitco can take the final call about whether to implement them or ignore them.

Also as far as I know they have always added popular football league matches for us, hence I’m assuming that their members like football over tennis, but if more tennis fans also make the same request then it’s quiet possible that they may add more tennis tournaments in the long run.
3863  Other / Politics & Society / Re: idiot police - jacob blake shooting on: August 30, 2020, 07:12:12 AM
With what I read about the incident, Jacob black opened his car door, but maybe the police was thinking Jacob would bring out harmful weapon, this led to the police shooting him 7 times on his back. This is cruel as the act of a wicked person can be, the police did not shoot him 1 or 2 times but 7 times, which means the police could had hidden agenda. To me, I can call it racism because the police is a white man. The police is wicked and should be jailed for such awful misdeed. I like the fact that the police has been identified.

Blake was under lawful arrest, and was fleeing, which makes him a fleeing felon. Police can use lethal force to protect themselves or the public from immediate harm.

There were children in the car, and Blake was holding a knife. If the police has not used force to stop Blake, he could have taken the children hostage, or he could have used the knife on the children.

i find it stupid that police feel the need to shoot someone under the normal 'self defense' clause that allows cops to shoot. yet the guy got shot in the back, meaning he was running away, not towards

i find it even more stupid that while jacob blake is paralysed in hospital. police now feel that he is a risk of running off

is america really this dumb. i ask because the more americans i interact with the less common sense they seem to have

I don't think the issue is Americans being stupid (they're not), or the police being stupid (they're probably not).
Rather it's about racism being endemic in the US police force (and to an extent this being symptomatic of racism within elements of the wider society). If you couple police racism with the fact that they are allowed to use lethal force, then it becomes an extremely urgent problem.

Whilst you can often find single cases to illustrate any point you want, particularly in a country as vast as the US, the fact that the police felt able to treat Jacob Blake this way given the current climate is a huge warning sign. We've had months of BLM protests since George Floyd; police racism and casual murder of non-whites is right at the top of the news... and must surely be in the forefront of the minds of every frontline police officer out there. And still, despite this, despite the police being fully aware of the wider situation, they still feel perfectly happy to attack and kill non-whites whenever they feel like it, and with zero justification. History suggests they can act with impunity - it is rare that they face justice.

@franky1 this is a clear case of racism, and there’s no doubt in my mind that had it been a white male in front of the officer, then he would have just fired in the air or fired at his knee to stop him.

@PrimeNumber7 the children mentioned are his three small children, and I don’t think that he was ever going to harm them.

Furthermore the video clearly shows him walking casually towards the car, he didn’t even make a run for it which would justify the officer’s claim that he was going for the knife.

Lastly this is a cold blooded murder and it took place because Blake was black, and American police needs to stop these murders asap.

Quote

Mr White told the AP news agency that he heard police officers shout "Drop the knife!" before gunfire erupted, but said he didn't see a knife in Mr Blake's hands.

Well.. let's not say that they are not "active at all" because they are active time to time and they do share stuff time to time but there is a difference between active and active.

If you always notify people what is going on with the website and share all the promotions and all that in a marketing purpose type of way, you are still active, you are not gone and you are still around and have an account that posts, however there is also a HUUUUGE difference on having one person like a community manager to be constantly here and talk with people about what they want and just basically chat regularly.

The first one is enough to have a casino, you do not "need" to do anything more than that, second one is just shows how involved you are and would take you to an upper level.

Just after hours of your post, here they are posting another milestone. Congratulations windice for reaching your 470 million bets milestone.

I've seen how you started from the forum and how you have grown all of this time, you're doing well and wishing you to see more of your milestones soon.

@livingfree if you scroll through the last few pages then you’ll realise that they have been hearing the complaints of Bitcointalk members, and now they have made sure to update us here too about their promotions, which is a good sign as it shows that they understand what Bitcointalk members want. Furthermore another week and and another new milestone achieved by Windice, many congratulations to the team, and hopefully you’ll announce something big to celebrate this new achievement.

Another shocking news regarding CSK fan! Raina is going to miss IPL 2020!



Everyone expecting to see him on the ground after he announced his retirement earlier this month but now this is not going to happen this year.

To add more misery, BCCI finally issued the press release on yesterday's Covid-19 news. If existing reports are true then all cases are from CSK only. Deepak Chahar's name is almost confirmed, no confirmation about 2nd player.


https://twitter.com/cricbuzz/status/1299638340984008704


Bio bubble create by BCCI popped even before anything gets started, now players are going to be afraid of their lives, without proper training how they are going to perform.Too much of compensation for BCCI's revenue! Sad

Also, read somewhere that his Uncle has being killed by Robbers and other of his 4 relatives are injured and this could be reason he needs to be with them.
You are right. I thought the reason was Corona, but it turned out to be something worse instead.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/zeenews.india.com/cricket/cricketer-suresh-rainas-uncle-killed-by-armed-robbers-in-punjabs-pathankot-2306199.html/amp

Several family members got injured too. I guess they were quite close considering the fact that he gave up his IPL earnings and other incentives. Hope they sort out the situation quickly.

This is really fucked up news.. hope his injured relatives recover soon. I heard about this "Kachhewala' gang" way back in 2000's when they were terrorizing the Delhi-NCR. They went underground after 2006ish at least didn't get to hear any incident but hearing their name again in 2020 is bit shocking.

@JSRAW if Covid cases continue to rise only in team CSK then will BCCI be forced to ban them for this year’s IPL?, or will they extend the tournament to make sure that CSK player’s have fully recovered?.

Also I’m really feeling bad for the Ex Indian Cricketer Suresh Raina, because he withdrew under mysterious circumstances from the IPL, and then his uncle was murdered therefore I’m sincerely hoping that he, and his family will find the strength to recover from this incident.

I'm already tired of reading about Messi and Ronaldno so I won't write more about them.

Instead I will turn to another club that I hope will continue rising and getting better. Milan has finally closed the deal with Zlatan and he signed a contract and it seems that Rebic's future at Milan is also finally secured.He has a bit different situation as it seems that Rebic has already come to terms with Milan and now all that remains is for the clubs to agree on the transfer price.

So very good news for Milan as this sorts out their attack for good.Now we have to wait will they get some better solutions for their right wing and right back.

@CryptoViking Milan has sealed a wonderful deal in tying down Zlatan, because he can easily score 10+ goals, and he’ll also motivate the player’s around him to perform harder because he has high standards, and he expects all his teammates to maintain those standards. Furthermore now that Conte future has been resolved he’s keen to buy Vidal which I feel will be an excellent buy, because Vidal is very experienced and knows this league very well.

Im so sad with this news, I really thought that this morning it was just fake since I know that they are prepping for another  Black Panther movie. This is likely ruined every marvel fans day. His a good man and even a tough guy knowing hsi fighting already for more than 4years is already a proof that he is king of Wakanda.

I know even his gone. His memory will shine all fans and supporters of the actor. Wakanda Forever! Rest In Peace Black Panther.

According to his twitter account:

I respect Chad Boswick for his talent and what he stood for. Condolences to his family and loved ones but a death shouldn’t be something that becomes a trend for a week and then forgotten. Black Panther always good movie and he always good actor..

@cryptoaddictchie I’ll second that as I too was hoping that it was a fake news, but sadly it isn’t and he’ll be sorely missed by all the Black Panther fans.

It’s also pertinent to note that he was active in various charity works, and had landed his support for the black life’s matter movement too.

Also one interesting fact I came to know today was that the Black Panther movie had got a Best Picture Oscar nomination, and it’s the only marvel film ever to achieve it, which shows how dedicated he was to his acting, and why he’ll be sorely missed by Marvel fans.

I am glad that Cheteshwar Pujara decided to take part in county cricket. But this year, he is not a part of the Gloucestershire squad. He pulled out of the county championship, after it was postponed. Also, I want the other Indian cricketers to try their luck in the county championship. And even earlier I had posted about opportunities in Australia and New Zealand. The domestic cricket there is also of high quality.

@Vishnu.Reang yes because of covid19 he could not participate this year, but hopefully he’ll be able to participate next year if covid19 fears ease, and county cricket resumes once again. Also as far as I know first Indian player’s need to seek the permission from BCCI for county cricket, only then can they go ahead and choose a club that’ll accept them. Lastly BCCI doesn’t give permission that easily, so I don’t expect more player’s to play in county cricket anytime soon.

With their outstanding performance in the Uefa Champions League that have ended recently, I guess Lyon should have an easier time when they play against Dijon today, the offense of Dijon is not very strong and I think Lyon should be able to keep a clean sheet and claim a victory against Dijon today.

@Barcode_ indeed Lyon won this game comfortably in the end, and Deepay scored a hattrick his first goals since December 2019. Also it’s pertinent to note that Deepay is linked to Barcelona, and he’s opened the door for them by saying that he wishes to play in the champions league, so it’ll be really interesting to see if Barcelona will swoop in to purchase him or no?.

Just sad to see Osaka, walking out in protest of what is happening in the US right now regarding the shooting of Jacob Blake. Semis on the mens side: Tsitsipas vs Raonic, although Raonic is playing good in this tournament, I think Tsitsipas will too good for him. Djokovic vs Bautista Agut, I'm looking for an upset here, but I think Djokovic will have this in the bag.

Tsitipas sure had good practice on return before this match. He played against Anderson, Isner and Opelka. If that did not help him to get used on receiving the serve from those giants nothing will Smiley I think this will be a very close match with at least one tie break and possibly even more.

Did not know that Osaka decided to walk out in protest. I thought it was some injury problem.

@Trofo I too believe that Tsitsipas will only win, and it’ll be a big upset for me if he ends up on the loosing side. Furthermore while Raonic has indeed played well during this tournament, yet I would like Tsitsipas to win and progress ahead to the finals.


Mertens won first Semi Final through Walkover Osaka out now Mertens will face Konta or Azarenka in final of WTA Cincinnati 2020.

Osaka decided to play at semis after the match was postponed and play on Friday.
Quote

Osaka on Thursday said she would play in her semi-final after the postponement of matches. “After my announcement and lengthy consultation with the WTA and USTA, I have agreed at their request to play on Friday,” she said. “They offered to postpone all matches until Friday and in my mind that brings more attention to the movement. I want to thank the WTA and the Tournament for their support.”

The semifinals will be held today between:

Mertens vs Osaka

@Strongkored I’m glad to know that she decided to return, because it would have been a big blow for all the tennis fans had she decided to opt out, as they’ll had eagerly waited to see the semifinal match in the midst of the ongoing pandemic.

@slaman29 yes I too have read his books and read his tweet about encouraging people to buy Bitcoins, but so far can’t see any major effect of his tweet on bitcoin prices.

This could be a very interesting thread as the current cycle plays out. We possibly won’t see real institutional FOMO until 2021 but once they get interested it’ll be like a stampede. They are not going to want to miss out on bitcoin’s next crazy run.

According to Guardian report, Bartomeu has offered to resign as FC Barcelona president if that what it takes to keep Messi in Barcelona. What do you guys think now? Do you think Messi is gonna be alright alone with Bartomeu resigning his role as club president or some more?

(Source: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/aug/27/barcelona-president-bartomeu-would-resign-to-keep-lionel-messi)
Messi has history of grievances/class with Barcelona top personal, Abidal was a major one and i heard Abidal has lost his position in Barcelona, it's not a recent update/news. But if it's true this should be good for -BATTLE KEEP MESSI AT BARCELONA- now if bartomeu leaves Messi can reconsider his stand. But what I don't get is how a single play is causing shivers no disrespect to Messi I think he is the greatest player but if he doesn't leave now he would retire so day, Barcelona should learn how to deal with life after Messi, believe in there young players.

@BIT-BENDER that’s because Messi has done a lot for the club, and this season the board and the new coach have made him feel like he’s worthless and hence it’s fine if he wishes to leave now.

I think he’ll stay, maybe Messi will go to the Argentina League when he’s about 38 or something for one season. I just don’t think he’s going to leave now. I will be worried if he joins Man City haha.

@LFC_Bitcoin as per the rumours Manchester City want him on a free transfer, but if that fails then they’re ready to offer 90 million and 3 players in exchange to secure his transfer, and this is something I feel will take place if Messi remains adamant about leaving.

I had summarised it in the La Liga thread why he wishes to leave in case anyone yet feels he’s wrong to leave:

Quote

@masulum it’s not drama because he’s hurt by their behaviour, and it all began when he was accused of deliberately playing bad football to get their manager sacked, which we all know isn’t true.

If that wasn’t bad enough then the board claimed that the player’s refused to take a pay cut due to covid, which was once again false as all the player’s had agreed to take a pay cut.

Lastly after the humiliating defeat they suffered at the hands of Bayern, their newly appointed coach decides to tell Messi that his privileges are over, and now he’s just a regular team player.

What would you expect Messi to do? accept such kind of humiliation again and again, and for what’s it worth I hope that he gets to walk away as a free transfer, because that’s the best revenge he can get on Barcelona board for constantly humiliating him.

I am wondering how Bayern plans to replace Lewandowski in the long run. As you said, so far he was almost never injured. But he just turned 32 and imho Bayern should already plan for an era after Lewandowski.

Arp is overhyped in my opinion. Zirkzee on the other hand already showed that he knows how to score important goals (against Freiburg for example). I am actually expecting a lot of him. He is only 19 years and will probably learn alot from Lewa in the training sessions. But I guess in the end they gonna just simply sign Haaland from Dormund  Grin

@Darkoth89 I don’t think that Bayern will start worrying now because Lewandowski will be able to play at least till 35 years, and then I believe that Bayern will buy Mbappé as his replacement, because he's a natural goal scorer like Lewandowski is. Also Mbappé said he joined PSG because he wanted to win the champions league, and at some stage he’ll realise that he cannot win the champions league with PSG, and hence playing for Bayern will appeal to him therefore I feel that he’ll be the replacement for Lewandowski.

Paul Pogba reported positive COVID-19, because of this he will be missed matches between France vs Swedia and Croatia next month. His position replaced by Rennes player Eduardo Camavinga.
Quote
Pogba was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 through tests and was immediately removed from the French national team squad. Apart from Pogba, midfielder Tanguy Ndombele (Tottenham Hotspur) was also released from the squad because he was positive for the Coronavirus.
like it's not only Pogba infected, Ndombele too...
This news will definitely make MU and Hotspur fans especially sad. hopefully, before the EPL starts, Pogba and Ndombele will be healed and can play to defend the team and also their country.


They’ll both be fine, they’re super fit, pro athletes in the prime of their lives. They probably aren’t even displaying symptoms but obviously it’s a good idea to keep them away from the other players in their squads.

@DeathAngel I’m gutted to know that Pogba has got this virus, and I wish that he recovers quickly and emerges stronger to play for Manchester United. Also I’m puzzled as Southgate is allowing Chelsea player’s to join the England camp by ignoring the 14 day quarantine rule, don’t you’ll think that he’s risking the entire squad by his decision?.

Quote

Sky Sports News can confirm a number of unnamed Chelsea players - including Mount and Abraham - are following government guidelines on self-isolation, disrupting Frank Lampard's pre-season preparations.

But as things stand, England boss Gareth Southgate has been told there is no reason why Mount and Abraham will not be available to report for duty at St George's Park in four days' time.

3875  Economy / Economics / US economy will continue to recover - Powell on: August 27, 2020, 05:17:49 PM
I was reading Powell (chairman of the FED) statement on US economy, and he’s used the words like starts and stops for the economy, and for a second I started to wonder did I just open an F1 news report?.

It’s pertinent to focus on his words which clearly mean that we may see some positive movements in the economy, but along with it we should brace ourselves for negative side effects too which shall last way longer than we all had initially hoped for.

Further there’s more bad news for the jobless people as he’s claimed that they’ll not be able to land jobs, and thus they will continue to remain jobless in the long run.

This analysis is a big blow to Trump who’s been banking on economic revival to win the elections, and this will even pose a big challenge for Biden (if he wins the elections) because reviving an economy won’t be that easy, and if he fails to revive it then Democrats will badly lose the next elections.

(Secular Talk on YouTube,  Kyle Kulinski Show and one of my favorites. Kyle is honest, funny, and very sharp. He is extremely progressive and probably to the left of most people here on the forum)

I think that this gives biden a little advantage, but it's all still up in the air. If you asked me who'd win 6 months ago, I'd say Trump vs Biden, Trump would win. Trump vs Bernie, Bernie would win.

But now I'm not so sure. I think Trump is slightly more likely to win than biden by a hair.

My takeway is that Trump really likes to play up conspiracy theories. He is exposing himself as a hypocrite right here. He talks about fake news but he is lying to the American people all for his own benefit and against American interests.

It borders on treasonous. If the details are the way I understand them, Goodyear has to sue Trump for defamation or whatever.

Edit: Forgot closing parenthesis ")"

Looks like Goodyear wants to have their cake and eat it too. They affirm the policy that BLM is okay but ALL or BLUE LIVES MATTER is not allowed.

Rather, Goodyear said in the aforementioned statements that its “zero tolerance” policy allows workers to express support on equity issues, but also that it asks employees not to express support for political campaigns or to advocate for issues that fall “outside the scope” of equity issues.

They won't get my business.

im tyred of hearing trumps spin. his pressured air, his lack of grip... he's just over inflated

employee's of goodyear are sppose to wear goodyear branded uniforms
if you went to a mcdonalds and the manager seen their staff wearing playboy, or justin bieber clothes instead of their mcdonalds uniform. they would send the staff home to change into the proper uniform

i find it funny how spendulus (usually a reasonable mind) is going to avoid goodyear simply because the company want their employees to actually wear the employee uniform

whats next. avoid going to the grocery store because one day a insane shop worker turned up in only underwear.. and the store has an appropriate clothing policy so sent the worker home. to get dressed and your now going to avoid a grocery store because they dont allow workers to turn up in just underwear

..
sorry but companies have uniform policies. get used to it


@franky1 I agree that there’s nothing wrong to ask employees to stick to a particular uniform, as this practice is done by all stores and companies alike. Furthermore I believe that @Spendulus is trying raise a point about their double standards, where they allowed certain campaigns, and disallowed other campaigns which fall in the same category. @KonstantinosM lastly I don’t think that one single topic can change the tide of the election, but I’m sure that Democrats will be raising this topic once again in coming months to attack Trump for political gains.

I'm also ok with City being the favorites on paper. Liverpool lacks some depth and the bookies know it, City has way more rotation options and starting 11 quality is similar.

Liverpool is never the favorite until, 7 matches has been played and they have won all seven the season before this one was won by Manchester united, but at a point in the league Liverpool was the favorite.
And this present concluded season they where the favorite and they won the league.
This time i would not overlook there strength/team . Liverpool would be my favorite team to win the next Season English premier league.

And I think that nothing lasts forever and this will be the last season of domination M.City and Liverpool. Remember these words.

Its definitely not worth less than 2/1 for Liverpool

Neither is Man City at less than 1/1   OMG

Their fans will be paying for everyone else's winnings for little to no reward if their team make the incredibly hard challenge with dozen's of other competing teams.

Seems crappy to me

@Globb0 I think it’s too early to wager on Liverpool, because if Van Dijk suffers a long term injury then Liverpool’s defence may not be as good as it was in the last season. Furthermore Manchester City have the player’s that can challenge Liverpool, and since it might be Pep last season in Manchester they’ll be extra motivated to win it for him.

Right then Ill bite

I just saw even better 14/1 for Chelsea.


Great one. Chelsea have been buying some really good players and transfer window hasn't closed yet so there is still possible they might get some few more big names. With the squad they have right now , they are also a real contender to win PL this upcoming season and with that odds its worth taking a shot. Gj Globb getting that one.

@Avirunes someone needs to tell Chelsea that we’re in the middle of the pandemic, and they need to stop buying the best player’s available in the market. Lastly with the squad Chelsea has gathered I’ll be disappointed if they don’t compete for the title, however I’m not expecting them to win it because Lampard doesn’t have the vast experience like Klopp and Pep have.

PSG with their fast and good dribbling forwards can do well if they score first and take a lead against Bayern. As we see in the final match, Bayern did not have an easy game like their previous matches with Chelsea, Napoli and Barcelona.
Not only PSG, but Bayern also can do well if they score first. I am confident that the Bayern defense is much better than PSG. If Bayern can score first, they can keep it till the end of the match. Anyway, I still doubt that the first score can determine the result of the match. It is too early to judge like that, mate. Also, you mustn't predict the result of the upcoming final match based on the previous match only. It is a different match and a different time, so anything can happen not the same as before. 


@kawetsriyanto what do you mean by upcoming final match because the finals already took place, and Bayern won the game by scoring the only goal of the match. Also I was bit disappointed because it turned out to be such a low scoring game, but in the end Bayern deserved to win the cup as they have played exceptional football in the the entire tournament.

Drama about Messi still continue, Barca want to extend his contract because club knows if they need him. But, some media's mentioned if Messi not make a decision atm. If, Messi asking something impossible for Barca, official will let him go, with around 600 mil Euro. Based on Local media's in Indonesia they say if Man City still interest no matter how much messi's prices.

@masulum it’s not drama because he’s hurt by their behaviour, and it all began when he was accused of deliberately playing bad football to get their manager sacked, which we all know isn’t true.

If that wasn’t bad enough then the board claimed that the player’s refused to take a pay cut due to covid, which was once again false as all the player’s had agreed to take a pay cut.

Lastly after the humiliating defeat they suffered at the hands of Bayern, their newly appointed coach decides to tell Messi that his privileges are over, and now he’s just a regular team player.

What would you expect Messi to do? accept such kind of humiliation again and again, and for what’s it worth I hope that he gets to walk away as a free transfer, because that’s the best revenge he can get on Barcelona board for constantly humiliating him.

Fights China by making them make his ugly ties.

@suchmoon I don’t know if this counts as an achievement or no but he became the first US sitting president to step into North Korea, and even though it was only for a little while yet I consider this to be an historic achievement. Also another achievement I can cite is his bold decision to end India’s preferential trade status, and save millions of US dollars that US was loosing each year due to the preferential trade status that India had enjoyed since so many years.
