Correct they have the control but what happens behind the curtain no one knows. Considering the location there is a high chance of few matches getting fixed behind the curtains. If that happens, it will not come out in public that fast or it may never come out.
There is nothing behind the curtain theory when the IPL team owners were arrested and some of the teams were liquidated and then some international players getting banned for not fixing matches but for neglecting the rules about not informing the anti corruption team about a bookie approaching them and if you see these aspects of the situation we can assume that none of the talented top players will fix the matches as the amount of money they make is far higher than getting their reputation tarnished.
I am sure the sheer ignominy of having a promising career end like that of Sreesanth, earning the disgust of a billion fans and ending up as a Bigg Boss entry would be enough warning for any player to engage in such shenanigans. Any player would think ten times before falling for this. The IPL players are loved and receive enough fan adulation during the whole carnival. They have a reputation to uphold. Its 2020 and they have enough money coming in through match fees, endorsements and prizes.

Cricket in itself is pretty exciting if the players and teams just focus on giving their best. Why would someone muddy the waters with those lousy catch drops and shots?

For IPL players I doubt money is an issue but their are other ways to trap players, which I am sure most of us know. In the past IPL had a lot of controversies and those were dealt with harsh punishment as these players were caught.

What happens when you do not get caught and local authorities help you too?

Not only Dhoni I think many people really deserved a farewell match but couldn't get one. For example Rahul Dravid being the greatest example. Yuvraj Singh? Suresh Raina? Gautam Gambhir? Despite of the fact that they weren't captains but you just cannot undermine their contributions they were kings of cricket in their times. I had this bizzare idea that BCCI can have a one match with the current indian team lead by kohli against this team lead by Dhoni
It is true that BCCI does not have the sentiments like the cricket fans and you need to understand that the president of BCCI were all politicians and they had no relation with cricket and now things have changed and Sourav Ganguly who transformed the team is leading the board and we will see major changes in that aspect. Apart from BCCI the rest of the cricket boards usually give a good farewell series for their top players and we only got that with Sachin Tendulkar.

Regarding playing with the current team against veterans will not be a fair match.

lol "Sentiments"

BCCI is a board that governs cricket in India, sentiment do not work for them.

Fan have everything from sentiment to crazyness.

If they wanted to conduct a farewell match they would have informed the media about it by now. I do not think they are even considering one for MSD.

A few days back I received an email from Latoken exchange about Stellar airdrop. At first I was confused as I did not hear anything lately in the news or from Latoken about an airdrop for Stellar.

I knew it was fake and I wanted to find out more details.

So, I opened the email and the content explained me the reason for this airdrop and guided me to a link. The link was to a Google doc.

Content of the Mail -



I wanted to check the content of the Google doc hence, I opened it and found this information.



It was asking me to visit a spam website and download a file to get 2500 XLM airdropped into my wallet.



Stay away from such emails as they are send from scammers. Always check the sender details whenever you get such email. These emails will always be send from gmail, yahoo, hotmail or other mail service and will never have the actual domain name. In this case, it was sent to me from Yahoo.

Start accumulating or investing in Bitcoin every month for the next 5 years and you will become rich. Invest with as little as $100 and every year you will see your investment growing.

For me I hate when suddenly I get added to a group without my knowledge for a scam ICO or IEO. The others that I have encountered are the one with fake GIVEAWAYS. Most of them have a great transcript created by multiple bots and when you try to ask them questions your comments will get deleted automatically.

Beware of GIVEAWAY scam!! they are everywhere.

It is an old tweet that was again retweeted, I have no idea why?

It is good for beginners who want to know more about cryptocurrencies but in my opinion, a lot has changed and IMF can at least create a new video with some positive information to help those who want to venture into the crypto universe.

I guess BCCI might be trying to avoid the chaos considering the present pandemic situation. Also they need to first take permission from the local authorities in order to conduct a match out of their regular schedule. It would be nice if they are able to do something to honor the legend.

I don't think that getting permission from the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) is a big deal, considering their good relationship with the BCCI. I would say that this is the ideal opportunity to conduct such a match, since almost all the star players will be in UAE at this time. Scheduling a match at a later period may not be feasible due to the ongoing pandemic situation.
Even ICC posted tribute video for MSD but I don't see anything from BCCI so they are not much interested about anything other than the revenue from IPL.Even if there is no farewell match for him everyone know he is legendary player and comes from nowhere and still holds the record of winning captain of all the trophies from ICC and still no other captain got it.

BCCI is focussing more on the month-long IPL I guess, they might do something after the IPL. A farewell match would have been great to honor this legend. A lot of fans like me are expecting a farewell match from BCCI I hope they look into this matter and take a decision soon.

It is true that Pakistan could have won the series if they won that 1st test, but most people including me wouldn't consider that a legit win since rain helped Pakistan survive 2 losses in a row. It is actually embarrassing that he feels that it would have been a legit win.
You really cannot blame the captain as he might be under immense pressure loosing a series and luckily for him two matches was a draw and in the first match they could have won the match if they could have put a good second innings and he needs to convince himself and the team to have the confidence. The positive aspect is that the bowlers bowled some good spells and the captain was able to make a crucial century when the team needed. 
Find of the series was Zak Crawley for England, i did not expect him to be selected and he played a wonderful innings.
First test is really solide opportunity for Pakistan to have some good advantage but they lost just in last day and this cost them all series now they have to go in New Zealand and its also not good for them but they have some time to prepare about this series and check mistakes which they done here in England Zak Crawley is really good in last test match and now he can enjoy for some more in near future.

Does not matter anymore what the captain decided or what happened on the last day of the first test. A loss is a loss for the records. Yes, there will be pressure on the team and the captain for their next series with NZ all they need to do is to re evaluate their performace and get ready.

From 2018 till date if there is not so much progress then it is a red flag for me. Logistic based projects have failed considerably in crypto space. Such ideas were accepted at that time but most projects have failed and I think the same is happening with this project too.

Thanks for creating this short and informative guide. I have not tried uniswap till now but after reading your guide I will be careful whenever I plan to use it.

Such guides will certainly help in stopping scams.

That is true BCCI and ECB due have a good rapo and the latter did invite BCCI to organize the IPL in their country but there is a risk due to the pandemic and situation needs to be assesd accordingly.

No one knew that MSD would retire just before the IPL, as scheduling for IPL was done quite sometime back and adding another day for a match can be hectic considering the present situation.
4975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 26, 2020, 03:45:58 AM
This time according to me it would be 80-20, 10 percent due to the location as well. Match fixing can be easily done in UAE as in the past UAE was the prime location for most bookies. This year the chances are very high as well.

Chances are always there. But the ICC as well as the BCCI are having a zero tolerance policy towards match fixing now. Last time CSK and RR managed to get a lenient punishment because N Srinivasan was having a big influence in the Indian cricket board at that time. The situation has changed and now the opposing camp has the power.

Correct they have the control but what happens behind the curtain no one knows. Considering the location there is a high chance of few matches getting fixed behind the curtains. If that happens, it will not come out in public that fast or it may never come out.
4976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 26, 2020, 03:43:21 AM
Just in : Game is about to start and we might see 45 overs today, it would be interesting to see if Pakistan survives the remaining time or choke.

On Google live score board, it stated suspended when I last saw it. Anyways what a waste, the game ended in a draw it was not surprising but I still expected a close finish.

Next stop IPL 2020..

I don't really follow polkadot but I do think this project will be the toughest competitor ethereum, moreover, there have been many tokens that use polkadots blockchain and have great success and also I have tried tokens from polkadot even though currently most of them have ui wallets that are not good but I am impressed with the fee and also the transfer speed of Polkadot because it is very fast, even in just a matter of minutes the coins we transfer can enter the exchange, if Ethereum wants not to be competed by Polkadot I think they must immediately fix the problem of upgrading ethereum 2.0

I do think this project will be the toughest competitor ethereum

I have been reading and hearing the same word for the past three years now and have not found a single competitor till date for ethereum.

Moreover, this project deals only with smart contract and if your are aware about ethereum then you should know smart contract is one of the features that it provides.

Polkadot is now ranked 2166 on CMC.

I have seen such projects in the past and non were successful. In my opinion it is not easy to integrate crypto with any real world scenario except banking and finance.

Those projects have been always a failure. I mean there is no practical usage of this token as per the website. In my opinion you should avoid this project.

Sounds more like an inside job as without the proper authorization no one can access the account of an employee or the employee was a dumb.

Other reason can be that CryptoTrader do not have the highest level of security features or firewall activated in their system.

Anyways it is big dent to their reputation and trust.

I guess everyone globally is aware about cryptocurrency in some way or the other. Some are aware of the positive aspects and some are aware of the negative. I do not think 2020 was the year, In my opinion, 2017 was the year when cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin went mainstream.
