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.
444  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.
445  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.
446  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.
447  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.
448  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why you will never become rich on: August 03, 2023, 07:47:33 PM
Making yourself independent from family than having more dependents could be a reason to stop a person turning rich. The basic thing is the acceptance of the people. Poor people were surrounded by the level of people and they come to a conclusion this is how life needs to be. Lets accept and move on, and this needs to change. Next major thing is the lack of knowledge, and they earn someway but don't know how to use it in a wiser way or how to invest properly. Maybe one these things could change overtime.

Op being funny and majority have said it is ones personal and it is his earning, we don't have the right to interfere in it. According to me what OP have said can be taken in positive way as well as in the opposite manner. Just on a fun point Op could've thought that the money spend today for a single women could help the guy have atleast five Women in the future, if the amount spent on the women is invested into bitcoin. From the person's view he doesn't know when he'll be able to have five women out of the investment made today, maybe he'll be aged and out of form  Cheesy
450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: August 03, 2023, 07:26:37 PM
The performance from the African teams were the big discussion of the ongoing season of FIFA Women's World Cup. In the knockout stage matches we can expect more surprises. England stands strong as the favourite to win the trophy. However the determination from the small teams were great and the same will keep them going forward. Japan is the only team on the knockout stage, with its tremendous performance I believe Japan can reach the quarter finals.
Morocco made a surprise by passing the Group stage thanks to a victory vs Colombia and the draw the German team made! Germany won 6 - 0 vs Morocco then Morocco qualify and Germany leave the World Cup!
South Africa made it too, kicking Italy and Argentina from the competition. Brazil wasn't lucky too along with Portugal and Canada.
South Africa will face Netherlands, Nigeria vs England and Morocco vs France will be challenging for the African team at this point
All the three matches of the African teams were really tough and they'll somehow try to give the best. Rest is the fate, and one more geographical African country Jamaica is on the list. Though it is a North American country many think it to be an African country. Next few days were going to be very interesting as the knockout matches will decide the quarter final qualifiers. Based on the rank list from FIFA, England, France and Netherlands were at the 4th, 5th & 9th position while Nigeria(40th) is the only team placed in the top 50 on rank table.
451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 03, 2023, 07:08:48 PM
West Indies VS India
The first match of the West Indies vs India T20 series has started today. West Indies won the toss and decided to bat. Already 4 overs have been played without taking any wicket and collected 29 runs. India is the top number one team in T20 ranking. India bowling line and batting line is better than West Indies. India has more chances to win than West Indies in today's match. I think India will win the match today.
West Indies played well early in the game when it looked like they would set a good target to India but they gave away the target of 149 runs.  India too are not playing well today they have lost 3 wickets for 69 runs.  Shubman Gill was a good player but got out for just 3 runs. India need 75 more runs in 9 overs which is not a big challenge.  Collecting this run is possible for any good team so I think India will not fail in this case
Once after the innings of West Indies thought 149 an easy target for India. The end result of the match is really disappointing and completely unexpected. West Indies have won the match by 4 runs and India was able to score 145/9 in 20 overs. The middle order somehow managed to stand wicket, but that hadn't lasted till the end. No solid performance other than Tilak Varma scoring 39 runs from 22 balls. West Indies team needs to be appreciated to defend with such a low score. Hope this series would be a win for West Indies if India continues to play this way and this is the outcome of over confidence.
452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't expect everyone to embrace Bitcoin on: August 02, 2023, 10:59:51 PM
You're never going to convince everybody to embrace bitcoin. We’re all individuals, we all have our own ideas, opinions & ways of thinking. Bitcoin is still fairly niche & it’s only been here since 2009. Adoption is increasing as time passes & that’s all that matters. Don’t worry about trying to see everybody invest in or speak positively about bitcoin. If people don’t get it then that’s their loss. 
Individuals have difference in thinking and it is by nature something good for a person used to be bad for another person. It all happens out of experience or the understanding. Everyone wouldn't understand the same way, so it is hard to see people positive about bitcoin and embracing it. It is good to give a better explanation if someone is negative about bitcoin. Rest is their choice whether to accept what we say or this can make them think why can't we analyse and understand what is the truth.
453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 02, 2023, 10:53:21 PM
India destroyed WI in the final ODI as expected after embarassing themselves in the last match. WI could have restricted India to a smaller total if they didn't drop easy catches at the beginning of the match.

Mukesh Kumar was phenomenal throughout this series though I never heard of him before this series. Let's see if WI can compete with India in the upcoming T-20 games.
West Indies had dropped catches, from the Indian team each and every player are prepared to give the best performance and they're very careful with their scoring. Never went for unnecessary shots, and few wickets happened due to impatience. If the score isn't good this too couldn't have happened. In all situation India team is prepared to reach a big score.

Mukesh Kumar and Shardul Thakur bowled well and the same helped India win the match by a large margin. West Indies being a team popular for T20 cricket will have better plans to win the T20 series.
454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's safe to say - gambling is a guy thing. on: August 02, 2023, 10:47:05 PM
It is the common thought that makes a person think men are much into gambling than Women. There is nothing as guy thing, it is meant for everyone. More things can be seen specific for Women, but it is very rare to see a guy thing. The mentality to risk is the difference that makes more men into gambling against the number of women.

Another thing, it is the social structure that keeps women in a different track. Now those thoughts were broken and women have begun to come out and stand equal to men. By now it is time to ask why women are gambling more than the past.
455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: August 02, 2023, 10:40:21 PM
Many say they gamble for fun. In reality those are just words, and in realtime the expectation differs for sure. Very few enjoy the adrenaline rush through gambling, because to experience the adrenaline rush we've got more sporting events. In some corner of the mind even the gambler looking for fun is in need of win.

As a gambler I've got winning limits and those were very small, and those aren't stable. Once the expected win is achieved the mind looks for more. This is how the winning day turns to be complete loss.
456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 02, 2023, 05:28:45 PM
In the past there were manipulation. Now each bet can be verified, as the platforms have begun to function provably fair there is no connection between two bets. When calculated everyone will have high number of winning bets against the lost ones. This is common, but on the profit/loss statistics most of the gamblers will be in loss. As said in one of the previous post it is the luck that decides the win and the wager doesn't have anything to do with the outcome of the bets.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Mane has completed his medical tests for Al-Nassr, and the contract finalization is imminent. Ronaldo will now have a strong partner on the pitch. The upcoming season will be crucial for both players, with Ronaldo set to play a full season and Mane's arrival expected to prove beneficial for Al-Nassr. The club's decision to bring in Mane as Ronaldo tandem on the field appears to be a wise move.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1686173201284427777


Now Sadio Mane has also been introduced by Al-Nassr as his newest recruit after previously bringing in Alex Telles. At the age of 31, Sadio Mane has received a contract duration until 2027 and this is a long-term contract carried out by Al-Nassr. He also uses the number 10 jersey which was his favorite when he was at Liverpool. The Ronaldo and Mane partnership will be one of the most dangerous in the saudi league next season and considering the two players have a good relationship, I think the two of them can work together to contribute more goals for Al-Nassr and win the saudi league title.
The next season of Saudi Arabia Pro League is going to be very interesting as more popular players have been added by different teams. If I'm not wrong, it is Al-Nassr that is very strong in winning the trophy and spending much more than other teams on players. Both the players with the number 10 could make miracles. Also the management is trying to figure out and add players that already have good relationship with Ronaldo.
458  Economy / Economics / Re: What's the effect of having plenty children to the national economy of a country on: August 01, 2023, 11:51:59 PM
Actually it doesn't matter whether you have many children or not, the important thing is to be aware of your economic and mental abilities before planning to have a certain number of children.
The problem of uncontrolled population increase is caused by couples without planning the number of children. The consideration is quite complicated but actually very important.

This occurs in almost all underdeveloped regions of the country where the population does not have access to adequate health and education programs. As a clear consequence, it only contributes to the low quality of human resources which does not bring many opportunities to become a well-paid workforce.
Thats true, there needs to be perfect plan on number of children. People doesn't have proper control and the sufferers will be the children with improper nutrition and lack of proper education. The burden will be upon the family and the government.

Population will help with betterment of the country, but things need to be productive and the government need to have better plans and provide opportunities. When this gets lacked automatically the increased population will find alternate for survival. This lands most into crimes and illegal activities which is a curse.
459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 31, 2023, 11:59:45 PM
Yes, it depends on the person but those that treat gaming/gambling as fun activities do so because it's the only way they can put their buzz in check to prevent addiction or unnecessary gambling.
If you know any of the gamblers that treated gambling this way ask them and they will tell you they are still hoping for a chance of good winning.
I disagree. There are plenty of gamblers out there who primarily care about the fun factor and don't really care about earning money. They are happy regardless of whether they win or lose at the end of the day.

One of the best examples in this case are elites who are 100% financially free.
You don't need to agree with me but just check the fact and I believe you can learn this through celebrities like Drake. Mayweather Jr, etc. which is into gambling. Despite how rich they are and gambling for fun they still hope and wish they get something out of it because it normal nature of human when you are putting money into something you will also expect something in return.

Agreed, everyone at some point gets directed into winning money. Losing will surely make them unhappy, how rich they're is secondary. With most of the gamblers, the beginning is just for fun. Over time they get active into gambling looking for win. The mind never find satisfied and the winning streak lets the gambler to continue whereas the losing makes the gambler go behind the recovery. In all means it is the same that keeps the gamblers active in the event of trying to win.
460  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education and money as the key to Bitcoin adoption. on: July 31, 2023, 11:54:19 PM
Bitcoin awareness is not really the major problem of Bitcoin adoption because so many people are aware of Bitcoin but  the wrong information they receive daily by the government especially some of the politicians are the major reason why people are afraid to invest in Bitcoin even when they know that some of the informations are totally wrong.

Money is the key for Bitcoin adoption because without money we can do nothing but I think people have money but the fear of losing it has always been a major concern to them all because most people still see Bitcoin investment as a scam because of how the government has painted it in the ears of their citizens.
There are so many misinformations, FUDs, and scam issues that we heard online and in the newspaper making some people to doubts and remain uncertain. These are the big factors that stop them from having an interest. Well, of course, why should have to adopt Bitcoin if I was not sure? Definitely, we really need proper education in order to correct the wrong informations that we heard around us as it was a manipulating factor that affects our mindset Because as long as it was still there, uncertainties remain and the spread continues.
Proper education lets people to question and analyse than just believing in everything. Education gives the theoretical learning and the experience gives the real time usability of bitcoin. The goodness need to be shared in the right way, because people easily believe in the scams and false statements but thinks twice to believe in the reality happening around.
