When one starts to accumulate it is upto his ability. We can't be sure that he is stressing himself to accumulate more. He can be doing some additional work or he might've cut some unwanted expenses to increase the accumulation. We aren't not late to the party and investing on bitcoin regularly will surely help with better profit in the long run. There are people who focus on short term profit investing huge amounts. This shouldn't happen, because we aren't sure of the rise in the price. In all means we should have the patience and the long term focus, in between if the Market have risen we should make use of it.
402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: August 14, 2023, 05:59:10 PM

A lot of people usually gamble because they need money and sometimes gambling is the only way they see to earn profit. We can't blame them because maybe it's their only choice and they are too desperate to have money. But again, this is not advisable because they are in high risk in losing everything they have. In my case, I only use my free money for gambling and swore to myself not use my money that are reserved for important things.

I have done it. Money is the prime objective with which we're valued as well as things were happening around. When there is requirement of money, automatically our minds will think of the easiest way and the same moves them towards gambling. Few will be successful while majority of the gamblers will be losing.

My spending of bitcoin is very minimal as I don't have much on the wallet. People are more keen about the next bull run. To my understanding the bull run won't start now itself. Now the price is little bouncy and the same could help the person get into traveling and trading. Whenever we make a buy, the same needs to be used for all the need. This means as investment, trading asset, store of value, transaction medium and so on.

$100 on daily basis from Gambling is really tough task. Focusing on the same isn't good and much risky. In the event of winning $100 what we loss will be very high. Every casino have got the edge, and in all situation the profit is assured for the house. This means one who prefer to make assured winning from gambling could prefer to be the owner of the gambling platform. There'll be much of hindrance, we don't know his difficulty.
405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: August 14, 2023, 02:24:10 PM
Currently the World Cup has entered the semi-finals, and tomorrow the first semi-final match will take place between Spain vs Sweden, even though Spain is the favorite to win this tournament and Sweden is only fourth as the favorite for the championship but Sweden cannot underestimate their step up to the semifinals it's quite surprising because it managed to get rid of other favorite teams like the United States and Japan, and this will be a very balanced match, and Sweden who appeared very aggressive when beating Japan will probably be a problem for Spain, but I think this will be a match that must be determined by penalty shootout.

Maybe many people think that this tournament is not interesting, compared to the matches in the men's section of course there is a difference in the quality of the matches, but several matches in this tournament show that there are many changes in women's football, and it must be remembered that women's football adopts the same things in rules such as the duration of the game including extra time so they play for the same length of time as men so there is a bright prospect that women's football will be interesting to follow in the future, because of course in training and fitness preparation they do the same thing so they can last a very long game.
Judging by the teams that have qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup tournament, I think we might have a new winner of the competition. Spain and England looks like the teams that'll make it to the final of the this edition.
 The Australian women's team who would play their semi final game against their England counterparts I think might pull the a big surprise if not carefully tacked by English women. Sweden on their other side isn't also a team to write off making the semi final matches a tough one for the four teams involved.
Among the four teams on the semifinals, Spain and England were the strongest. Australia and Sweden were good, they're teams that give unexpected results and unpredicted performance. We can't state those to be lucky wins or something similar. Sweden won against USA and Australia defeated France, both happened in the penalty shootout. To keep the match without goal till the last isn't a simple thing. Based on which we can't take them to be an easier team. There will be competence and every team will follow the defensive approach than targeting goals.
406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 14, 2023, 01:55:43 PM
Indian T20 team can never be called a bad team just because they are doing badly in this series in T20 but there were several wrong decisions for this team which Hardik Pandya could not control properly. In the T20 series, however, two or three senior players such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were definitely needed. The advice and leadership of senior players is definitely better than the leadership of freshers and they know how to lead the team in times of danger. In yesterday's match as well, Hardik Pandya had several misjudgments in the bowling department which were enough to send India down in yesterday's match.
I don't think it's bad performance from young India team. This is best way to test a new team and India have got a new talent in the form of Talik Varma.
Finally something to cheer about for WI cricket which haven't won a series in recent years. Yesterday match was interrupted 3 times because of rain but still we have a full match.
It isn't a bar performance from young India team. It bounced after losing the first two matches, and brought back the hope of winning the series as the young Indian team won the 3rd & 4th matches. The 4th match was massive win and the same increased the expectation over the team. In the final match the performance from the Indian players were good, while the West Indies team performance is better than before.
The Indian youngsters had a poor performance as they lost their first and second matches. But when the third and fourth matches were won brilliantly by India's youngsters, there was hope that they might clinch the final. However, when the Indian youngsters entered the field for the fifth match, despite their good performance, they could improve on the batting performance. Meanwhile, West Indies bowled and batted well to put India under a lot of pressure in their bid to win the series. And India lost the series in the final match due to their poor performance and West Indies won the series brilliantly.

As India showed dominance in the third and fourth matches, I thought the team would be able to maintain this consistency in the last match as well. And India will win the third match as well. But this is not the case. In the third match we again saw India's poor batting. The team cannot play well. The performance of their batsmen in particular was erratic. Expectations were high from Jiaswal and Gill. They batted brilliantly in the fourth match. Also, Hardik Pandya, the most experienced batsman of the team, did not bat well. Apart from the batsmen, the performance of India's bowlers was also poor. Even if the bowlers could have bowled well, the match would have been competitive.
We can't blame the bowlers, because higher the target lower will be the pressure on the bowlers. When the score is low, automatically the pressure will be high on the bowlers. This won't let the bowlers have their natural game. The opener Brandon King played an awesome innings and Nicholas Pooran was a good support. This made the winning a much easier one for West Indies. Throughout the series the toss have played a big role and the teams to bat second have won in most matches.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: August 14, 2023, 01:46:20 PM
I'm being honest here when I say that I don't track my expenses when I'm gambling, whenever I gamble I just get the money that I want to spend and when that money is gone because it's a loss for me and a bad day for me then my gambling is done for that day. I know that it's kind of stupid of me not to track how much I spend in gambling but I think that I'm happier that I don't know how much I lose over time, less regrets on why I gamble and I have more fun at the end of the day.
You can try to make a budget for gambling. It is useful to know how much you used to gamble on that day. But don't immediately spend all the budget money instead, try to divide it up for a few days, say a week. Usually, that's what I do for each week, and for example for a week, I make a budget of $25. The amount of money must be enough for a week, and you may not deposit another amount of money if you lose gambling. So with that money, you can gamble for a few days and not bother with the rest of your finances.
Allocation of budget for gambling is a better way to spend. Even the allocated fund shouldn't be used on the same day. Most of the people will spend due to lack of control. Just the divide and spend is good, when the days amount is lost one should stop gambling for the day. The next day the mind shouldn't be on recovering the previous day's loss, but just the wager need to be done with the days allocation. This will surely be a healthy way of gambling than losing everything in few rolls.

Bitcoin being decentralised we were discussing and we want everything to be decentralised. When we get adopted more to the decentralised living we'll experience difficulty than what we experience now. Only thing we can stay positive on is the freedom of usage whenever required. The corporate policy is to keep people under their control, only then it is possible to make money for them. I've seen private banks who trigger people to take loan.

A person doesn't have loan/debt and he leads a happy life with what he earns. The private banks make calls to know whether there is need of loan. This makes them think why don't we take a loan and repay as installments. They start taking loans and finally where they land is the big debt, because the amount spent will be on sophistication and not on productive growth assets.

India should also lift ban on its players for participation in T20 leagues. If BCCI has too much talent then they must send players to participate in T20 leagues as not all domestic players will be able to play IPL or national side. I don't know what's the mind set behind this ban where Indian players are not allowed to play other leagues.
May be the fear of BCCI is that if everyone is having the freedom to choose which franchise a player wanted to represent in other leagues then the popularity of those leagues will rise along with the IPL and they do not want that to happen  Cheesy. Since the players are getting good remuneration even for domestic matches they wont be revolting against these decisions either.
Thats the real lines behind the ban. IPL have turned to be one among the leading leagues played around. Something to compete against should be plucked at the base which is the real meaning behind the ban. Even without Indian players more leagues have gained popularity. Particularly the T20 Leagues have gained importance on the Asian countries. The same is slowly getting shifted as more new T20 Leagues are getting launched.
410  Economy / Economics / Re: New Research found Work from home workers to be less productive on: August 13, 2023, 10:48:03 PM
I could not attest to it because I myself is also a work from home worker and yet, I still manage to finish my task on its due date, and on its best outcome. However, probably with workers who have a lot of distractions at home, like they need to take care of their kids and attend to their needs, send them to school, do the household chores, most likely the time to get the job done will be affected as well as its outcome and productivity. If the same scenario will continue, this will leave a negative impact on the company causing its productivity rate to suddenly fall.
As said the work from home atmosphere won't be the same as we have in the workplace. Whatever the arrangements we make to keep ourselves separated, there'll be disturbances and this doesn't make the person go down with his performance. People who work for8 hours now work more than that, because it had been an easy task for the higher authorities to seek support with the employees whenever required. Beyond the working hours they shouldn't be disturbed.
411  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: August 13, 2023, 10:44:26 PM
Well, I gamble online, and almost nobody knows that I gamble except for some of my internet friends whom I have never met. People in my country see gambling as bad because gambling addiction leads to doing wrong things. At least, this is what they think because we have seen many people sell their assets to gamble, and they end up losing them.

I gamble online, and I never share this with people in real life. The only exception is my brother who gambles as well, and he is unlikely to share it with anyone else. So, nobody knows that I gamble.

It's not the wrong one,you just want to keep the secret of gambling is your opinion for the privacy.But you should be careful with the money you are using for the gambling,because you should not use the black money to keep them secret.Because the black money in the gambling is never accepted one,it's strongly against many of the gambling sites.Not all the people get addicted to the gambling,only few people try to get money return from the gambling and once they get some loss.Loss and profit from the gambling is common in the gambling.But people get worry on loss and get over excited on the small profit.But being neutral at all the situation is the most important one.
Personally I think keeping ones gambling habbit a secret has advantageous effect and disadvantageous effect as well and I will elaborate a little on it.
The good thing about keeping ones gambling habbit a secret is that whenever the said gambler happens to win big winnings, no body would know about it thereby reducing the chances of being attacked or forced to make ones winning with people. But the bad side of it is that if the person happens to be gambling addict who tends not to control himself about gambling, he'll rarely stop the addict because of the fact that closed friends and relatives who were supposed to call him to order are ignorant of the fact that the said person is a gambler
Agreed, when he doesn't feel good it is a must for him to share with his close ones. Such act will help the gambler to limit himself as well as doesn't let him think of taking unwanted decisions on major loss. Most of the time a gambler tend to keep it secret when the gambler had lost big. If he had won, surely he'll share it atleast with his family members. In specific atleast with his wife, when it is a loss the person will somehow manages to arrange for the lost amount and never reveals. This is where the problem arises and could lead to massive debts, because I personally did it in the past.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: August 13, 2023, 10:37:10 PM
Sinner today seems the "natural" winner of the match against De Minaur. Just because he has won all 4 previous matches against the Australian player, plus he has one match less during this tournament... For sure an interesting final. The odd of 1.40 Is not really big but not bad at all for this kind of match.

Well there we go - Jannik did the business in a very strong fashion 6-4 and 6-1. Thats his
first Masters title and no doubt will not be the last. He is definitely transitioning forward
and will get better.
Jannik Sinner had done it with style. This is a much expected one from Sinner. Young players were dominating Tennis and this time it is Jannik Sinner. The win against Alcaraz itself confirmed the title for him.
Pegula is storming ahead, she has the first set 6-1

Samsonova though has already come from the first set down today in the semi final to
win her way to the final now, her odds are 9.5 now....
Finally Pegula have won the title winning the match 6-1, 6-0 against Samsonova. Throughout Pegula had played well and in the semifinals it was really tough fight against Swiatek to confirm her position to the finals. Often she used to reach till Semifinals and now moved to finals which is great transition from her.
413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 13, 2023, 10:28:36 PM
My prediction was spot on. Hardik showed a lot of potential as a captain initially, but he has squandered it in recent times. Why the heck did he give Chahal so many overs and Axar so few overs?

Sky and Varma played well, but they can't save the team everytime. The current Indian ODI and T-20 teams are in a bad state at present.
Losing the series after making a comeback shows how bad is the team. In recent matches India team is like depending on few players. Once similar situation prevailed with the Pakistan team. The team used to have good line-up, but they don't perform when the match is critical.

Yesterday it was India to chase the target easier. Today it is West Indies to win it in an easy way with the best performance of Brandon King scoring 85* runs in 55 balls. India should think and play better as Asia Cup and world cup matches were fast approaching.
414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has nothing to do with crime on: August 13, 2023, 10:23:23 PM
Because of bitcoin does not give public details of people who make transaction with it, some people do say it promote crime. People needs to understand one of the features of bitcoin is freedom that anybody can get access to it, it does not discriminate.  The privacy features of bitcoin is very important to humanity,  which I know one of its advantage is for safety by using cryptography that makes all transactions safe and encrypted.

Privacy in transactions of bitcoin is much important,  if their was no privacy it would have cause several criminal attacks.  For those who think bitcoin encourages crime because of hiding  public data of users don't understand the importance of bitcoin being private.  Before bitcoin  started  existing monetary crime have been existing.  Bitcoin is not a reason for monetary crime,  bitcoin is just for everyone and does not discriminate but accept everyone.

Anonymity and privacy is not a crime! Although Bitcoin is only quasi-anonymous and transactions could be traced down to an exchange account/address for example. There are some ways to avoid detection though by using Bitcoin mixers, Tor and DEX exchanges. Everybody should have a right to stay anonymous.
Whether they prefer to stay anonymous or not is upto the user. We shouldn't involve into it. As said it is possible to trace out transactions as it is possible to differentiate exchange addresses from the Dex and other wallets. This gives the access and if the transaction is made to an exchange it is an easy task for them as most of the exchanges needs complete KYC to use their platform. Crime getting connected with bitcoin is to destroy the growth of bitcoin. We were able to see a big number of crimes happening around and those were just crimes and shouldn't be connected with bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
415  Economy / Economics / Re: All millions are from real estate. on: August 12, 2023, 11:32:39 PM
In any field of investment, the bigger your capital is, the laarger the profit. But this is only possible if you will be able to manage the risk and to maake it profitable; yes, it is in your hands. If you are just wanting to put huge amount of money without any plans and without even studying where you are engaging yourself with, then you are just simply throwing away your money. Real estate is a good field of investment but as we all know  there are still risks present such as floods, overall location, costing or price and such. There are many real estate agents but why aren't all making these 'millions'?. There's this thing called competition and you need to compete as well.
As stated in a post the value of real estate and the property depends much on the location, maintained, connectivity and various other factors. This means the risk is high and in majority of the cities we'll be able to see properties that are built and unsold/rented for years. This is all because of the location and the cost. There are millions and to the same level of money involved the competence is high as mentioned. To stand against all the competence needs more learning about the market and huge investment.

Banks assure with fixed rate of interest. However this used to vary based on the economic situation. With altcoins the profitability varies and the risk is high. We need to be lucky to invest on the right altcoins, if not we could end up losing everything. With bitcoin the risk is low as it have proven record. With the top list of altcoins we can have trust, but there also we have risk. Just think of the Luna, to be on the safer side Bank is the right choice. For person who prefer taking risk altcoins were the right choice and it have got the ability to provide profit better than bitcoin.

~snip~

Both Bangladesh and India find themselves facing similar circumstances. I had a feeling that when Mashrafe bin Mortaza from Bangladesh, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni from India are going to retire, there is going to be a problem for both of the teams, trying to find a suitable captain for the future. And that is exactly what is happening with both of them. It’s not because they do not have players who cannot be the captain of the team. It is because they are not finding any player who can be the same level of captain that they were for their respective teams. And I don’t think they are going to find any players like that in recent times. That’s why all this experimenting is going on.
To be fair to India, their 7 good years of test cricket came when Dhoni left the test captaincy and Kohli took over. India has been performing exceptionally well in Test cricket and a majority of the time were the number 1 test team with 5 Test Mace.

Also without any doubt, best test touring team in recent times but yeah in white ball cricket things are going in the opposite direction.

The thing is, the majority of cricket fans follow the shorter formats of cricket now a lot more compared to test cricket. So I think most of the people have been a little biased in their judgement. Most of the people have been a little biased because most of them have been keeping up with the shorter formats of cricket instead of test cricket.

And I will also say that sometimes statistics are not all. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has saved India from a lot of really bad situations. I am almost certain that if it was any other captain, India would have been losing those matches.
Nowadays people find it difficult to spend more time watching the sports. This had made them switch to the shorter format of cricket. Another thing is the play style. In recent days the Ashes is really interesting and it tempted everyone to watch the matches, because both the teams played in such a way to have result on the matches whereas with most of the other teams the process will be to draw the match and they never take risks.
418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: August 12, 2023, 10:30:59 PM
Typically, gambler only think and come to realization after or before they gamble and not during gambling. Only few players can think straight withoiut being affected by risk pressure during gambling.  Cheesy

You are right, mate. It's even kind of a waste of time to advise a gambler  Grin, because while they will still end up doing whatever they please, perhaps they would say, "It's not your money they are spending," and it's not your business to tell them what they will do. I have talked to a friend before about his gambling habits, and those kinds of responses were what I got. You feel you are doing some good thing by asking them to control their reckless gambling, and they ask you, "If really the money they are gambling off is yours." So sometimes the advice is not even necessary. I would just say, Let the gambler test the game and let themselves decide if they are really gambling with self-control or not.
Most of the time these gamblers understand on their experience. Just on sharing our experience they never care about the gambling activity. Once after huge loss they used to remember what we had said earlier. When they realise it is far away and the loss could've been very big. With gambling we shouldn't have the never giveup mentality. Gambling should be considered fun and advice received should be considered and whether we follow or not is secondary.

Personally, I am very happy that this victory was won by Al Nassr and above all by CR7, he is a person who is doing well, despite the fact that it has been a stormy year for him...
Congratulations to Al-Nassr their victory against Al-Ahli. Cristiano Ronaldo made his team succeed in this tournament and help them by scoring their 2 goals in the final match. That was good from him and for his team which are playing with only 10 players. I find it normal when you see the attack line of Al-Nassr Wink
A big win for Al-Nassr, because the expectation on the team had reached to the highest point once after the contract of Ronaldo with Al-Nassr. The team tried the best, but on close contest Al-Nassr wasn't able to win the title of the season. Now the win of the Arab Club Championship trophy is something needed for now. The match was completely in favour of Al-Hilal and he made it change. Everyone who could've been thinking about,why such a huge money on him will know the reason.
420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 12, 2023, 06:51:49 PM

Fair to say it's 2-2 and we will have a final tomorrow.
In today's game, India is also doing a great performance, especially in the batting, the way India batted, if the target was more than 200 runs in front of India, they could have won. One of the main reasons why India lost the first two matches was a few errors under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, and India overcame those errors to win back-to-back matches in the next two matches. Today, India batted at a target of 178 runs with 18 balls to spare and defeated West Indies by a huge margin of nine wickets to level the 5-match series 2-2. The last T20 match between West Indies and India will be like the final, the team that wins will win the series.

The main reason behind Indian team defeat in the previous matches against the west indies  team  was the poor batting of their batsmen and in almost every match we have seen poor performances from India's opening pair. India's two openers did not play well and the performance of other players in the team was also not enough good. And this is why the team lost one ODI match and two T20 matches against west indies. But the scenario of today's match was completely different. India's two openers shubman gill and jaiswal have been able to get off to a good start. Jaiswal was unbeaten of 84 runs and gill was collected 77 runs.Due to the responsible performance of these two batsmen, the indian team reached the target of victory in just 17 overs. India is going to win the series despite losing the first two matches . I hope Indian players will continue their great performance in the last match as well and win the series.
In both the matches that India had won, West Indies have won the toss and decided to bat. In the first match India failed to chase and reach the target. As said, in the last two matches Indian batsmen have played really well and the same have helped in winning the match and level the series. For West Indies it is Hope and Hetmyer who did the best and took the score close to 180 runs which is really hard to be chased. Indian batsmen have reached it in a much easier way. The final match is going to be very interesting as the winner is to lift the trophy.
