Can't blame the Windies bowlers when Sky going at this rate along with young gun Tilak Verma. Guess their batters have to take the blame for this defeat.

At the same time didn't like when Hardik went for winning runs with a 6. They just needed 2 runs and had enough balls, he could've given a strike to the young batter and he was batting at 49. Not a big deal overall but it's a big confidence boost for a young kid when he's scoring back to back 50s on his debut series.
Indian players have played in a much responsible manner than the previous matches. Once again disappointment from the young openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. Against Suryakumar Yadav it is really tough for the bowlers, after he had got to the form. Tilak Varma accompanied well and this is really bad from a person who is serving as the captain of the team. When the match is at critical situation going for big shot is fair. Here 13 more balls available and two runs required while Tilak was in need of just a run to have his half century.

India team won today's match. And they won quite easily. However, I am not satisfied with the performance of the Indian players. Like the previous two matches, Tilak Varma played very well in today's match as well. He was unbeaten on 49 runs. However, Suryakumar Yadav was the main hero of collecting 164 runs in just 17.5 overs. He was able to collect 83 runs off just 44 balls. He was batting aggressively from the beginning of the innings. Today we got a chance to see a great innings.

I am not satisfied with India's performance as India's opening pair played poorly today as in previous matches. Earlier we used to see Bangladesh's opening pair performing consistently poorly. Now the same situation has happened in India. India should definitely keep experienced players in the opening pair.
Rather than just moving back to experienced ones to start the innings, let them be given opportunity for few more matches. Just think of the the two players performance in IPL. There is a saying Indian players good to perform in the home ground. While touring, most of the matches used to be a losing one and expected players never perform upto the mark. In this Virat Kohli is the one who maintain consistency irrespective of the ground.

It's hard to know the result of the France-Australia game. But France is one step ahead for me.
The result of the England-Colombia game is already clear for me. England will win the game without any difficulty and will go to the semifinals.

The match between Australia and France will be hard fighting. With the bookies the odds were in favour of France which confirms that France is a step ahead against Australia. The England vs Colombia is already clear and the Colombia team making its debut in the quarter finals whereas for France it is the fourth consecutive reach to quarter finals. In the match between Japan and Sweden, it is Japan that have the upper hands. On the other match between Netherlands and Spain, it is Spain to reach Semifinals. Only one Asian team continues while every African countries progress have come to an end.
423  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Really Burn helps Token in positive way? on: August 07, 2023, 05:46:46 PM
If a coin is popular in the market and has a good value and a lot of investors for it, then it is natural that if the token is burned, the value of the token will increase a lot. Because burning will decrease the total supply of the coin and its demand will be high due to which the value of that coin will increase a lot.  But if you are talking about a new coin for which there are no investors, even if that coin is 99% burned, the price of that coin will not increase because there are no investors for it. Burn issue will only work in a positive way when that coin is already popular but I don't think burn issue will do any good for new and shit coins.
Agreed, we were able to see this with Shiba Inu. When the token reached the market the supply was huge and the memecoins unexpected growth made more people interested on it. Further the development is made better and even the more real time usage is provided with acceptance in stores and day to day stores. There is huge fluctuations and to stabilize the market, continuous burning process is involved. If that hadn't done, now price could've gone to the bottom from where it bounced.
424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin doesn't give you instant 100 percent profits on: August 07, 2023, 05:42:43 PM
In any type of investment, 100% profits from short term investment is a big lie. It could be possible instead if you lose 100% of your capital with just a blink of an eye. But still, even if these words will be repeated a lot of times, crypto beginners will always chose to be deceived by this too good to be true promise. Most especially with all the crypto influencers all over the internet that is feeding wrong information to the people, then it’s not surprising that there are still people who often expect 100% profits in just a very short period of time.

That's quite high and we should not believe someone who promotes such lies especially when it involves bitcoins. such things will never happen because the price is not that low like we had before about 10 years ago and the price could only go up to +20 percent but not as often as before because of some circumstances that we are experiencing through these years. But none of it will gonna change except for most countries in the world will start to adopt bitcoins as legal tender and as one of their official currency in the years to come.
Agreed, one should not fall for fake promises. It is possible to see more people fall for scams in the name of bitcoin. They never understand about bitcoin, just because it gives profit they get into cryptocurrency. This too happens through a third person. It is really must to understand and further make your investments. Just expecting big returns and ending in disappointment shouldn't happen. Very few countries in the upcoming years will adopt bitcoin whereas the majority are much focused to have their own CBDC
425  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should we rely on prediction? on: August 07, 2023, 05:12:12 PM
Predictions were part of the market speculation. Different price predictions will be put forth by the experts as well as common man citing different incidents connected with the cryptomarket. None will be sure on how precise will be the prediction. We can consider those as reference data and make our decisions. Price of bitcoin used to vary in large scale in no time and when happens different reasons were stated and we need to analyse and understand whether the mentioned reason is something possible and does it can make impact in the market.

I am actually surprised to see West Indies leading this series by 2-0. This is a golden chance for West Indies to make sure that they win this series against India. They need to win only one more match out of three remaining. The situation for West Indies did definitely get a little sketchy towards the end.

But responsible performance from West Indies made sure that they were able to win this match. Let’s see if India can make a comeback which they have to if they want to win this series.
Almost everyone were surprised to see WI leading this series 2-0. An Indian team comprising of some of the best IPL players played like crap against a WI team comprising of many inconsistent players.

India will definitely make a comeback in the next few matches and I am expecting a grand finale where WI will probably win the series.
First match is the big surprise for me. West Indies had scored 149 runs and India team unable to reach the target and losing by 4 runs is completely unexpected. West Indies bowlers were at their best in the match. A comeback is expected in the second match, but the team India played in the same pattern. Lets see if India can take the series to have a grand final, winning the 3rd & 4th T20 matches.
427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: August 07, 2023, 04:40:00 PM
anyone deposited very less amount and luckily won a big jackpot like a 100x or 500x or 1000x of base bet and withdrawn without kyc or without facing any problem from the platform?

if yes, how much was that amount? and what was the casino?
Sometimes there are cases where some people have gambled for a small amount and won millions of dollars. It requires a huge amount of luck. not everyone has it. Such incidents are rarely heard of. But KYC is mandatory to withdraw those big winning rewards.  Because every casino site has a maximum withdrawal limit without kyc, it is not possible to withdraw large amounts like millions of dollars without KYC. If you have won such big amount from a reputable casino site then you can complete kyc and withdraw easily without any hassle.  However, if you win something from a scam site, it may not be possible to withdraw it.  They will become worthless

Small that turns into million dollars in gambling? How small it is because it’s very hard to do that given the odds of winning on any games of the casino is very small especially the high return. Those user that winning million dollar using 50$ bet or more are those players who have high bankroll that can sustain that high base bet multiple times before they hit that huge multiplier.

But it’s very rare for someone to win million dollar using small bankroll here because casino doesn’t have a lottery with jackpot prize. Most of the slot games jackpot prize usually scale the value base on the bet amount.
Winning big money out of small bank roll is really hard thing to happen with everyone. Some people keep on trying for big multipliers, and the luckiest enjoy the best win whereas the rest suffer loss. Wagering and winning big is really tough than winning on lotteries. I haven't won big jackpots, and that happened with sports betting. It wasn't a big multiplier, but something around 10X of the base amount. Bets were on the directbet platform where we don't need to request for withdrawal, the winning gets settled automatically.
428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin really not for everyone? on: August 07, 2023, 01:17:47 PM
Bitcoin is for everyone and the time taken by each individual vary based on the level of understanding as well as their financial situation. If a person was a victim of some ponzi scheme/pyramid scheme and had lost much of money, and we introducing bitcoin to them will surely make them into dilemma whether to believe it or not.

Bitcoin is for everyone, because of the denomination it is possible for everyone to invest/buy based on their affordability. The high price makes the unknown have a thinking that bitcoin is for the rich ones which isn't the reality as there are more possible ways through which one can increase the volume of holding.
429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: August 06, 2023, 11:53:33 PM
As I said yesterday, Netherlands won the game with 2 goals. I said they would score 2 or 3 goals difference.

I think it will be an easy game for England tomorrow. Nigeria is expecting a tough game tomorrow.

One among the African team have lost. Anyhow South Africa played good and in the match stats they aren't that bad. They had played well, but missed chances to turn shots into goals. Netherlands were very careful from the beginning and dominated the match. In the other match USA lost in the penalty shootout. Sweden, Netherlands, Spain and Japan have confirmed the entry into quarter finals. The match between Nigeria and England will be interesting and my expectations were much on Morocco against France for some reason.
430  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If one like decentralization they will surely want Bitcoin? on: August 06, 2023, 11:46:29 PM
It is not about the decentralisation, it is all about the physical presence. During the early days I've suffered to brief it to people as they never understand the term virtual money. How does it hold value and there is no paper money, because for years and years this how people have used to it. Only through experience people were able to understand better and in such stance I've made few people under well about it. During those the word bitcoin itself rare and now things have changed alot. Goodness of decentralised function and all will be learnt in the later part, initially they need to believe which itself a big task.
431  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you rather start/grow a business from scratch or buy an existing business? on: August 06, 2023, 11:01:26 PM
I don't really have much to say as regards to this post. It is just an avenue to hear your thoughts on which is better to invest both time, energy and resources in, mostly for a season as this, where we are experiencing economic uncertainty and ill-timed government banking policies.

So, given that the resources are available or not and you are presented with the opportunity to start/grow or buy an existing business just like Elon Musk, which option is more preferential and benefitial to you?



I would also do the same like Elon Musk. Buying an established business company will be easier to grow because you will only follow what had made it prosper for a long time, without giving yourself a hard time thinking how your business will not left in vain. Unlike starting a business from a scratch, you should deal about its financial risks, you should stay on top of its high competition, and the most important thing is you should be aware of all the business processes and strategies because it will be a trial and error at first so you know which strategy will work and which is not.
Buying a business that is already good in the market seems to be fair, and there is nothing to think much on it. Same time we won't be able to make something new to it and try the outcome. The test too can be a big problem, so with the minor changes business is kept running. When we start our own business it is us to handle each and everything and we know well about everything from the base, and the same helps to be successful in the start of new business. Maybe things won't be profiting and we don't understand the market, all required is the ability to withstand for some time period and automatically business will turn profitable as we get to know how things need to be proceeded and how strategies need to be made effective.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 06, 2023, 10:46:26 PM
West Indies is really good in T20 format cricket, the first match result of five match series proved it. Now the second match result have proven that West Indies team is king of T20. In the first match West Indies scored 149 runs and defended India and won by 4 runs. This time West Indies have chased the target of 152 runs with 7 balls remaining. Nicholas Pooran played an awesome innings scoring 67 runs from 40 balls which were the important scores for winning.
I think this series has given India selectors a big reality check that their bench strength is literally zero. Making a team full of 11 big stats who played best in IPL is never going to work. If you see it in a way its just the big 3 players that are missing, out of which I consider Rohit pretty much out of form from long. is Indian team again going towards the path where only 1 person makes it win and it's Kohli?
Anyone looking on the T20 squad will say, it is hard to beat this team. It is accepted that the bowling line-up isn't the best, but with the batting line-up unable to score atleast 180 runs is really bad. Looking the scores of the two matches played it is well known that the team isn't good enough to play a team like West Indies. Maybe they're good in playing against teams like Netherlands and Ireland. In the first match they weren't able to score 150 runs and win the match and in the second match just 152 runs scored, shame on the performance.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT on: August 06, 2023, 10:40:15 PM
A gambler makes mistakes only when he becomes hopeful of making something from gambling. That is, he depends on gambling to fulfill some of his dreams in life. But gamblers forget that there is no guarantee of winning rather of losing. What most of the gambler mean by success in gambling is getting more wins or the amount of winnings in a short period of time. Success in gambling generally does not depend on long or short periods of gambling. Since luck plays a major role in gambling so every one should not think it as their main goal.
The mistake will be repeated if there is no awareness from him that gambling does not guarantee that someone can succeed and get a lot of money. He can only play gambling as usual without hoping to win big. If he hopes too much, he can be disappointed later because his expectations will not match reality. A successful gambler is a gambler who can use his time to gamble well and if he gets a win, he can stop immediately without expecting another win because he knows that gambling cannot give too frequent wins. He would choose to quit while he was already winning so he could use his winnings to celebrate.
Having healthy thoughts and always thinking about bad things in gambling, maybe that's one way to overcome it all.
With a healthy mind, of course someone will not expect anything from gambling and also always prioritize consistently not to spend too much money on gambling which causes harm in the long term. I agree with you because so far controlling yourself in gambling is indeed very difficult and if there is someone who is able to control himself to always be consistent or not risk too much money in gambling and gamble responsibly then he is a successful person in gambling.
Because there are several definitions of success in gambling, but being able to gamble responsibly is also one of the successes of someone who thinks that this is just a place of entertainment without giving big wins except when lucky.
It all matters with your perception because if you do really make yourself ending up on having those assumptions that you would really be making yourself get rich with gambling then you are really that putting yourself
in great danger as these thoughts would really be pushing you hard on doing gambling since you do really have this kind of intent but if not then you would really be that able to control and this is really that something good.
Gambling is really just that for fun, why cant others just be able to think up and realize these things but rather they do rather do the opposite things? why they cant really just go with the basic principle and reality on things?This is why it would really be leading on such disaster just because they dont really be able think up clearly on what gambling is all about. There's no need to quit if you do have the control but if there's none
then for sure you would really be finding yourself that get addicted on which it is something that would really be needing to make out adjustments and realistic approach on things.
Person who have dreamt of becoming rich through gambling would understand the reality of gambling within the initial days of gambling. Most of the person will continue not with the hope, but with a mind to get back what they've lost. In the event of recovering the lost funds the person continues to wager and some gets lucky whereas the majority gets into addiction and the self-controlled ones stay active as they know well about their limits and have understood the complications of going behind the loss and looking for wins.

Well with Felix AA its a mental issue, he has the talent and I think this is what a lot
of people were basing their future predictions on but its difficult to factor in to a
prediction a players mental outlook, choices or strength.

snip

That is exactly the same with Kyrgios; he is extremely talented and can beat the best if he really wants it. Look at Wimbledom last year where he managed to get the finals, not a lot of people saw that coming also. But in a lot of smaller tournaments, he is not in the mood to play, jokes around and simply doesn't care.
Tennis is a game that I much about stamina. If the player goes down, then it is really hard to make a comeback in the match. To run around the court throughout the match is not an easy thing. Underdogs winning matches have turned to be very common with most of the sports. One important thing, the competence have gone to the peak and when one wasn't able to make themselves strong they go mentally down.

This is happening in many places. Even in my nearby state lottery is run successfully and it is a big success and even the people who doesn't have much of knowledge and belief in luck too buys it. Here it is much focused on development of the medical department infrastructure. Apart the state have taken special measures in treating people free of cost for Cancer. Through gambling some form of good things were happening around, and no private entities were allowed.

When a country have got reason or purpose, the government of the respective country will think of the adoption. The reality is different and very few countries have understood the meed and as a result the those countries stand positive on bitcoin adoption and acceptance. In recent years El Salvador have took the much bolder decision amidst opposition from different parts of the world. Particularly the super power of the world thought of having them under control and things didn't work as expected.
437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez to accept presidential donations in bitcoin on: August 04, 2023, 11:30:21 PM
Sadly Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has little chance of winning.  Instead of running against other pro-Bitcoiner, he should have joined forces with them in order to strengthen the possibility of them(pro-Bitcoiner politicians) to win.  But I think he is still on his personal gain and accepting Bitcoin in donations does not help in contributing to the development of the technology but only helps his candidacy.

After all these sweet talks, if he is into Bitcoin implementation, he could just support other Bitcoin-friendly candidate who has a better chance of winning.
All the promises and statements during the election campaigns should never be considered true. Maybe they're partially true, but once they reach power in a very simple way they'll give answer when questions were put on them connective to the statements during the election campaign. These are election strategies, one thing that is happening good is the spread about bitcoin. When someone popular shouts about something surely people will search and find what it is, and lets see does the electorial campaign brings him win.
438  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin helps the economy of all circles on: August 04, 2023, 11:25:16 PM
Bitcoin is not kind of business that is developed targeting specific class of people. It is developed keeping in mind that everyone needs to benefit through it. This is the success of bitcoin. Another important thing is the backing technology that made bitcoin the innovation of the era. The denomination available for everyone to invest and buy based on ones ability is another thing that makes bitcoin the best. Next is the multipurpose usage. In this way we can add more and more characteristics of bitcoin with which it stands high and useful to all levels of people.
439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does cryptocurrency actually solve any problems? on: August 04, 2023, 11:04:09 PM
There is difference of understanding about bitcoin between people. Some consider it the alternate to the traditional payment whereas there are people who consider it as investment and for other needs. So, it could solve different problems based on the way people use it. However this doesn't serve major problems of economy or social development such as the unemployment, poverty and other factors. There is some kind of misunderstanding among people that usage of bitcoin or increasing adoption could eradicate poverty and increase the employment opportunity.
440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 03, 2023, 08:01:52 PM
There is nothing wrong this your suggestions but to me is just left for the gambler to decide what is best for them, like as you do you can easily control yourself on your gambling process. Most times it could be very hard to do because there are always chance that man would want to gamble important game maybe you noticed that week could be a good week and you decided to place some bet. These are likely to those who often place bets on draw games as they plays weekly, but what would it take a gambler not to control his reasoning and actions towards gambling addiction.
As everything is possible sitting at the home with the mobile phone in the hand it is really tough to have control. Even if the person have decided to take a break, and if he had some leisure time surely his mind will think of gambling and he might give a try. If there is no access, then the person won't think of it. Such an opportunity isn't available and to be on the safer side, never think of having big money in the gambling platforms. When we have good balance, our minds will keep on thinking about it.
