I guess now no one will talk about BCCI making some shady deal with the CSA in regards to giving them some free qualification points by fielding their 2nd string team (or fixing).

Which we heard when India lost the 1st match.
We only hear baseless conspiracy theories most of the time here in the forum and they can satisfy themselves by claiming that they knew the tournament was fixed and since the BCCI knew that everyone knew it was fixed and hence they asked CSA to comply with their demands and hence they were all out for 99 runs  Cheesy. I wont be surprised if anyone comes out with that claim as well because i am seeing a lot of these theories for the past several months Wink.

Don't know why some people are unable to admit that India can win  Smiley
And they come up with all these theories which have no meaning at all.  South Africa displayed very poor performance yesterday and were all out for 99 runs. Heinrich Klaasen from South Africa was the top scorer with 34 runs.
Kuldeep Yadav took four wickets in the match and was the man of the match.




These kinds of theories are pretty funny and good for a laugh but sometimes I find it very distasteful and out of context.

But anyway you can't change anyone's mind and it's nice to have diverse opinions in a discussion, whether you agree or not.


Another thing is that if the match is fixed, why South Africa had to play so badly so everyone knows that it is a fixed match or everyone starts speculating it about. How about fixing a match, getting all out at 180 runs, and then lose? No one will complain it was match fixing. 
Next they they wana do match fixing, tell them this.  Smiley

If the results are not according to your wish, people start screaming Match Fixed, Strange, insn't?

Pakistan women team is still on top at international level, Pakistan women team has won five matches so far with today's match, Pakistan women team is just a dream to play T20 women's Asia cup final, Sri Lanka and Pakistan women team in today's match was very exciting. , Sri Lanka women team played very well in today's match but after playing so well they could not dominate the match, finally Sri Lanka women team had to surrender to Pakistan women team.

Pakistan women's team is giving some amazing performances which no one expected from them. They also won the today's match with the Srilanka women team. India, Pakistan and Srilanka women's teams are on the top three in the points table and we can expect anyone of them to be this year's Asia cup winner.

In the semi finals, India will play Thailand while Pakistan will take on Srilanka. I am looking for the India Vs Pakistan Asia cup final as this will be the dream final that ICC can think of. If this happens, it will generate a lot of revenue and Women's Asia cup will gain a lot of hype.
4464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: REFLEX ACTION IN GAMBLING AND TIPS TO AVOID ITS PITFALLS. on: October 10, 2022, 07:00:35 PM
So, for a friend, roommate or family member who  gambles at the slightest impulse, these tips should be kept in mind:
• Set and stick to time and money limits.
• Prioritize responsibilities such as classes or work over gambling.
• Be aware of signs of a problem like lying about the amount of money or time spent, withdrawing socially from friends and family, and negative effects to mental or physical health.
• Use money set aside for entertainment, not for rent, tuition or other bills.
• Spend time doing other activities, not just gambling.
• Remember that mixing gambling with alcohol or drugs can be risky also.


The tips which you have mentioned are well known to everyone and every gambler is aware of them, however, only a few gamblers follow these golden tips and rules.
Majority of the gamblers play emotional gambling and therefore you will not find them considering these tips while gambling.


Checking yourself first (especially behavior) and your pocket should always be the priority while gambling. I think everything comes into place if you have these two as your priorities. I think there are more to this list but OP just highlights the few things that should be taken into consideration by most gamblers.

Pocket and money come first when you are gambling. If you spend funds on gambling which you need somewhere else (like in your household expenses or paying bills/rent), you are doing big mistakes which can make you bankrupt and very poor. Gambling is not just about making money, you need to be disciplined first.

The famous Bollywood star Nora Fatehi will inaugurate the World Cup with her dancing. The World Cup is going to start from November 2022. Nora Fatehi's dance will be seen in this big football event glimpse.


Remember Shakira performed Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) in 2010 world cup and that song got too much famous that time. I am hoping Nora Fatehi will gain same fame and popularity and fame as  Shakira got in Johannesberg in 2010. Also Shakira performed in 2014 world the song LA LA LA.
Let's see how Nora Fatehi performs and kick off the all awaiting 2022 FIFA world cup.

https://youtu.be/537Zmzn10DQ

I have heard this site name first time so not sure if they are scams. This is the problem with unpopular or new sites that we never know the algorithm behind the scenes they may lead you to lose every game you play.

By the way, just for your information, gambling is a risky business. Even with the reputed site there is no guarantee that you will win the games (although this will never happen that you lose all the games)

After seeing the video I can say that this website looks sketchy to say the minimum. I think they are scammers trying to make money in a very lucrative way hiding behind a casino website.

Yes, this is the safest way to scam people and no one can catch you unless someone get access to the code library of the online gambling casino.
That's one reason i avoid playing at new sites unless i have heard a good reviews about them.

4468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bangladesh has blocked 331 online casinos on: October 10, 2022, 03:28:47 PM
Recently, BTRC (Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission) has blocked 331 online casino sites in the name of preventing gambling and money laundering. There were a few sites blocked from long ago including crypto casino stake.com though we could access the mirror version of stake through stake.games
Hate to see this to be honest when we have politicians who are almost openly laundering money.

Source- https://www.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/crime/p10pt1dnef

How can online gambling lead to money laundering?

And if the government thinks that money laundering happens due to crypto, then they should ban every site related to crypto. People can do money laundering through crypto exchanges as well. And how about transferring money from one decentralised wallet to another wallet location in another country?

I think govt. use the word "money laundering" as an excuse and real purpose is to discourage the use of crypto currencies. Perhaps Bangladesh government want to prohibit gambling too but there should be a valid reason for it and not just a lame excuse of money laundering.

You are right that Bangladesh is in a very bad situation in the last few years.  And for this I will not only blame only the poor performance of the Bangladeshi players, I think their management team is equally responsible for this because I still think they have a lot of good hard hitters in their team if they could have been brought into the game I think Bangladesh  The team will be a little better than the current one.

Bangladesh has suffered two consecutive defeats in the Tri-Nation series. Where did the tigers go wrong then? Nothing at all. They are doing it exactly how they should do it. The T20 side they've is not good yet. T20 is an area in which they need to improve a lot more. Batsmen who are impact players and hard hitters were not selected by the management as well. Bangladesh's leadership problems are a big problem. The series will end with Bangladesh being washed out successfully.



We have another match between Pakistan and Afghanistan to be played tomorrow. You can say this is a rehearsal match before the final as most probably the final of this tri series will be between these two same teams.

Check the odds and you will find New Zealand to be the favorite. Isn't strange as Pakistan has beaten NZ in the previous match but the gambling houses still think that NZ is the favorite.



This match is important for both teams as no one wants to lose a match before playing the final. The team who will win this match will also get a psychological advantage.

I'm sure by now you have read about a casino review site where the admins are trusted members of Bitcointalk, which  I believe is good for the community because they have a good roadmap and we all know their capability as gambling reviewers
but what if reputable members here decided to put their own casino will you support them and will this become a conflict of interest if they are already or have promoted casinos in the present or in the past, what's your take on this?
Maybe in the future, we'll have one.

I usually like to play at a casino if it is good, reputed and trusted.  I never look at who is the owner of the casino or in most cases the owner doesn't reveal themselves and that's also fine with me unless and until the casino in question is a good one.
So if the bitcointalk reputed members or any member makes their casino, there is nothing wrong with it unless they provide good services to the community. Secondly, if the developers are already reputed members my confidence in the casino will increase further.
4471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 09, 2022, 05:38:51 PM
This pitch isn't a very easy one. South Africa should have crossed 300 mark but the pitch started playing its tricks in death overs and the same thing could happen with the Indian inning unless due comes into play. Otherwise, I believe proteas already has a competitive total.

India is playing with bat deep strategy as Lord Thakur will come at num 8 so they have depth in batting but hardly any experience under their belt. 

Don't know how the pitch is not easy for the south Africans but all of sudden it comes easy for the Indians who chased this target in 46th over with only three wickets down. These days the losing teams always come up with excuses of bad pitch while actually its their performance which is bad.

Yeah, you will say that South Africa did win the 1st ODI but remember they lost the T20 series and i am sure they will lose the ODI series too.
It's not easy to win against India when you are playing in India.  India is unstoppable with Shreyas Iyer scored over a 100 runs and Ishan Kishan missing a century by just seven runs.
4472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: October 09, 2022, 01:27:30 PM
But things can change, and any result can happen, but one thing is surely still we are not going to have any winner from Africa and Asia it's all about UEFA and CONMEBOL this is surely hurting me too much as well.

If things may change as you suggested, why are you so certain that Africa or Asia won't produce a winner? You don't underestimate a nation because of how it is seen on a global level. Will you be surprised if Senegal wins the World Cup despite their excellent and consistent performance? FIFA might not be fair to them, whether it be an Asian or African side, but no matter the biases and misjudgement that will be made, what will be will be.

The problem is that there are no teams in Asia or Africa who can compete with the western or South American teams and beat them in the all important fifa world cup. Also if we see the total number of teams that qualify for the world cup, the majority of them are from Europe and South Amercians.



Based on the historical records, it doesn't seem likely that Senegal would win the world cup. They've managed to qualify only a couple of times to the world cup, and their absolute best was at Korea-Japan 2002 where they ended up 7th.


Senegal was able to qualify for the quarter finals of the 2002 world cup. The other team from Africa who managed to do this was Cameroon in 1990s. No matter how good the Senegal team seems, they won't be able to compete with European teams who have so many facilities which African teams cannot think.
4473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 09, 2022, 12:47:56 PM
India VS South Africa

South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first. A good decision in case if it might rain in Ranchi today. However their current run rate is below 5 and they have already lost 2 wickets. The pitch doesn't seems to favour batter but more to bowlers. This is the last match of the bi lateral series and India needs to win it otherwise they will lose this series in their home ground. 
In the second match, Africa is batting well. So far they have managed to score 138 runs in 27 overs losing 2 wickets. There are two great batsmen on the pitch Aiden Markram and Reeza Hendricks they have put on a partnership of 110 runs. Even in today's match, their chances of victory are very high. Let's see what happens at the end.

South Africa managed to collect 157 runs in 30 overs. They lost only two wickets. Hendricks remained unbeaten with 73 runs and Marakram 53 runs. South Africa's innings is getting longer because of the 117-run partnership between these two players. Now their average run rate is 5. But if these two players are at the crease, South Africa are likely to set a target of more than 300.
300 runs does not seem like a big target for India. Even if South Africa score 300 runs, India will try their best to win today's match. If Shikhar Dhawan can get a good start then India will have more chances to win today's match. If they can win today the series will alive. On the other hand, Africa also did not do well in T20, so they will try hard to win this ODI series.
I think if India can bat well then they will win this match. If Indian good players can play good game in this match then it will be good for India. And if Indian players can't bat well then many ties to win the match.  Bharot will suffer. However, the runs that have been made will be a very tough fight between the two teams.
I was at first in the impression that South Africa won't be able to reach 200+ runs. However they did go beyond my expectations and scored 279 runs. The target doesn't seems difficult but it can if India losses early wickets. I eager to watch Shubman Gill bat in this match. This guys has a lot of talent but lack the experience.

South Africa made 278 which may or may not be enough. At one stage South Africa were 215-4 and at that time it seems that South Africa will score over 300 runs but then they started losing wickets and end up on 278. Everyone chipped in and made a score while Aiden Markram topped with 79 runs.

From India, Mohammed Siraj was the best bowler who took three wickets. His economy rate was 3.80 only which was impressive.

India lost their captain Shikhar Dhawan at 13 runs only. India has a reasonable target to chase and it won't be an easy task. If South Afria took two three quick wickets, they can surely fancy their chances of winning this match.
4474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: October 09, 2022, 08:36:26 AM
Bangladesh collected only 137 runs in 20 overs. I don't think a target of 138 runs is enough to win against a team like New Zealand. Also, I don't think the pitch is very bowling friendly. Nurul Hasan's unbeaten 25-run innings from 12 balls was superb. But I expected a better performance from Afif. As he was at the crease for a long time. I thought we would see Afif's explosive batting in the last few overs. But I don't see expected batting from Afif today.
However, the Bangladesh squad has experienced spin bowlers like Shakib, and Miraj. If these two bowlers perform well, the match will be competitive.

NZ need 138 runs to register their first win of this tri series. No notable performance from Bangladeshi side expect Nurul Hasan who scored 25 runs on 12 balls. T20 format is completely unpredictable but Bangladesh should have scored 160 to give there bowlers some chance.

Bangladesh only scored 138 runs in 20 overs which i am afraid would not be enough in modern day T20 crickets. Even with the good bowling pitches, 150 is the par score and 138 is never going to be defended.

Willamson and Conway were playing with calm as they know the target is not big. The more overs they stay at the wickets the more runs will come automatically which means that NZ will become close to the winning target.

From Bangladesh point of view, they need some quick wickets in order to stop the run flow. Spinner Mehidy Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan depends a lot as Bangladesh is known for  good spin bowling.
4475  Economy / Gambling / Re: Twitch is going to ban most crypto gambling streamers. Where will Drake go now? on: October 09, 2022, 05:32:49 AM
Why is YouTube worse than twitch? They have massive global market share, just not in livestreaming.
Only a YouTube hater would say crap like that since anyone with a half-decent brain knows that YouTube is way, way more popular than the other platforms which were mentioned in some of the previous posts.

Aside from that, Youtube is a good platform and maybe a good alternative for gambling streamers now that twitch is banning these gambling streamers.
YouTube is more restrictive when compared to Twitch in this case which is why I don't think your suggestion is really helpful here.

Why do we even need to compare Youtube and twitch ? Both cover the difference audience and both are popular in one way or another, however, Youtube is more watched as compared to Twitch. As per some data , Youtube has 2.1 billion monthly active users while only 30 Million Active users visit Twitch daily. So you can find the difference in number of visitors at both platforms.

However, when it comes to gambling content or crypto currencies content, both have some restrictions and those streamers are not given free hand on both platforms. Twitch bans content which included unlicensed slots, dice  and other gambling games while youtube has a restricted policy over content related to gambling, drugs , alcohol etc.

Content creators and advertisers need to follow the policies given by these centralized platforms and also creators needs  to find a more decentralized place on the internet where they can create content and stream without much restrictions.
4476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: October 09, 2022, 04:57:19 AM
First of all, it was nice to see a triangular series after such a long wait. I don't know how many years have passed since we had one. NZC, PCB and BCB deserves a lot of praise for making this a reality. Now coming to the prospects of Bangladesh, I don't have much hope. Both of their opponents are in excellent form right now and the conditions are very hostile. Pakistan has adjusted well to the conditions, since they have some good pace bowlers in their squad. That is not the case with Bangladesh and their batsmen are going to struggle in conditions that are supportive of pace bowling.

Another importance for this series is the upcoming T20 world cup which is to be played in Australia in less than 10 days times. These teams will have good match practice on similar pitches which would be helpful for them in the T20 WC. Each team will play two matches against each other before the final.


England Will face Australia Today at Perth stadium. Which team is the favorite between England and Australia? I guess Australia Because they have the home advantage.

Similarly, England is already in Australia to play the series with Australia before the World cup. This time ICC has planned the series right before the world cup giving some of the teams an added advantage. India and South Africa series is also in progress but it is not in Australia / New Zealand.
4477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: October 08, 2022, 11:13:26 PM
Yes , His strike rate about 150. Nobody  could beated Babar  Azam.I think for the outstanding performance of  Babar Azam Pakistan managed to win against New Zealand. I think if they can maintain the performances like in the last few matches then Pakistan can get a good place in the upcoming t20 world cup.

Other players need to perform too except the openers Babar Azam and Rizwan otherwise Pakistan stands no chance against the big teams. We have seen this issue in the recent England series. Pakistan lost to England 4-3 only because the openers did not started well in the 6th and the 7th match of the series.




I would say that if anyone wants to bet on this match, they should place the bet on NZ and get the odds of 1.15. As the match starts, NZ position will become more dominant and the odds will decrease further.
But taking such low odds against Bangladesh does not seem logical. Although Bangladesh will lose the match. We feel that if it can be picked up during the game especially when Bangladesh is a little ahead then New Zealand odds can be increased. Since it is a T20 game, it would be a wise decision to wait a bit.

That's gamble in itself to wait for the Bangladesh team to be ahead in the game. NewZealand should not let Bangladesh be ahead in the game, else Bangladesh may win and we may lose the bet altogether. In normal circumstances, Newzealand will keep Bangladesh under control and hence the odds for NZ may decrease further. That's why I was saying to take 1.15 before the start of the match.

We do encourage you to read the bonuses before trying any of them. The bonuses intend to benefit the players more than the casinos but there are measures put in place like wagering requirements and min deposit amounts to prevent any abuse. TrustDice also tries its best to highlight any NEED TO KNOW INFO before activation of bonuses so be sure to check it out.


The bonuses are beneficial for the players as long as the don't have tough wagering requirements to withdraw. Once gambling houses add restrictions the beneficiary changes to the gambling sites as gamblers are unable to meet the requirements while gambling sites are able to attract more people through these bonuses.  Smiley

I am not complaining here but this is the fact and gamblers are used to it. Anyways i always encourage and like bones even with requirements, as they give us at least to try our luck.

Good to now that trust dice offer a lot of bonuses and free money to play with. Of course once people play freely and like the site, they will deposit too.

Two unbeaten batsmen Babar Azam and Haider Ali won the match very easily In this match Babar Azam gave a surprise to the whole cricket Babar Azam scored 79 runs in 53 balls Babar Azam played the whole match with a grip Hyder Ali was very responsible batsman in today's match he played a lot to win the match Haider Ali ten from 2 balls  New Zealand managed to score runs successfully, setting Pakistan a target of 179 runs, but Pakistan managed it very easily in 18 overs. The target was met and Pakistan won by 6 wickets against New Zealand

Yes, i thought New Zealand will give a tough time to their opponent their home ground, but this was not the case today. Pakistan chased this target very easily in the end. With this win, Pakistan are on the top of the table who have won both matches. Tomorrow Bangladesh will take on Newzealand. Seeing the odds on stake.com you can easily see how is the favorite for tomorrow's match.



I would say that if anyone wants to bet on this match, they should place the bet on NZ and get the odds of 1.15. As the match starts, NZ position will become more dominant and the odds will decrease further.
4480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Distortion Pattern on: October 08, 2022, 03:29:29 PM
Best path is to outlast all these patterns by not responding in an obvious reactionary way.   Start low, build when more comfortable as half of losses in gambling is lack of patience and thats way the game will play you or at best its entirely random in its result.   Most returns arent immediately great, we all wish for luck that quick, most likely strategy to win is to play regular and know when the game will pay out.

You are right that we should keep things simple, try to play with limited money, and always try to keep our seed money safe. In this way, we may win big if we are very lucky but at least the overall losing can be avoided. You cannot avoid that you can't lose but with some calculation, you can keep yourself in overall profits.

Oh man, luckily I said that it was just a simple research I was trying to do. So here I forgot to confirm that the pattern described is valid for one entry into gambling or in other words the first time you make a deposit. So it's not a patent pattern in some plays.

This made me more confused as why these patterns are only valid on the first deposit and why it is not valid at other times  Huh
How can we know that in which situation this pattern will play and what circumstances it will be invalid ?
