Pakistan is not happy because now they are leaking their wounds they lost golden opportunity to win this series and good points in first test now second is already end in draw and most chances third is also going to end in draw because too much rain expected so this series is going to end on just first test result which is clearly not good for them but England is also not happy as now they are feeling they can do some more good after winning first test.
Pakistan might be happy as rain prevented them to be 0-2 which means they are still having decent chances to square the series rather than being already lost the series. The 3rd test is going to be played at Southampton which might be flat surface then there would be a decent chances for Pakistan players to score more and to put England to chase to make them feel the pressure to defeat England. But, England will be a fiery team in home soil and they have improved batting line who may bat like T20 matches even in test cricket.

If Pakistan will look for more spinning options then probably they get chances to put England in back foot as English team is always known for struggling against spinners even in home grounds.

I also think that Pakistan would be happy with the result in being a draw as it still gives them a chance to at least draw the series which would be a good outcome for them after letting England back into the series with their second innings poor performance in the first test match. Even with all the rain around hopefully we'll see one team win the third test.

I only hope that we are able to see the complete third match rather than rain playing a spoil sport. I am sure if the third test match gets played then there is a high chance of it being a close one. Pakistan will try everything to win the last test.

Why blame the selectors? Dhoni's strike rate was well below average in the recent T20I and ODI matches in which he played. Even when the required rate was very high, he failed to step up the momentum. And despite this, the selectors included him in the squad.

His captaincy, wicket-keeper, batting skills and his finishing style is what made him famous among the people. Whenever India lose a match and MSD isn't part of the squad, people wish that he was part of the squad.


There is no denying that he is a legend of indian cricket but I do agree with @Vishnu.Reang, his performance was below the acceptable average. There were others who could have been more productive if they were playing in his place. This was the right time for him to retire with dignity rather than getting dropped by the selectors.

Dream XI, a fantasy sports company has won the bid of sponsorship for IPL. But the amount they'd be spending is much less than what IPL was expecting. IPL was hoping for something around 300 crores while the largest bid from Dream XI was 250 crore. The long term sponsor of IPL, VIVO had to back away from their sponsorship due to anti Chinese sentiments on the government and public level. While Dream XI do still consist a minority stake of Tencent (about 20%).

The BCCI should be happy about this. During the sponsorship auctions last time, Vivo made a bid of ₹440 crore per year, followed by Oppo (₹286 crore). None of the other brands made a bid worth more than ₹200 crore at that time. Therefore I would say that the BCCI got a good deal this time. Now the question is whether Dream 11 will get the expected returns from this deal or not.

The viewership would increase I guess compared to previous years so as there has being no cricket matches for few countries in last 6 months. So fans are awaiting to see them on field and in IPL all major players will come and also since still people continue to work from home so the TV or internet would be on along with the work too. So, I am expecting the Dream 11 would make good returns as well.


Viewership will increase considerably that is for sure, most of us are avoiding to go outside and IPL would be the first and the last big cricket tournament of 2020. Naturally every cricket fan would be watching it to feed their cricket addiction.

there's no problem using vr actually it would be incredible since you will experience like being on a real casino on this covid season but we know that the price of vr is bit expensive and those money that will be using to buy vr can be use on betting already. i think people will prefer what we have right now and only gamblers with some extra money will spend money on vr to experience extra fun.

VR is meant for creating three dimensional effect and it only works with HD graphics and I am not sure how it will impact the experience of dice game user or a slot user. The games need to be improved considerably in order to actually enjoy them in VR.

Do these websites have such games?

That is the big question.

Scrapped content does not necessarily mean plagiarized content, it can also mean less content and this same issue happened to one of my friend's website. He had about 15 or 20 posts which were all original but his application got declined due to the same reason. 

I would recommend you to increase your articles count, create more than 30 articles, each having 1000 words and then reapply. Presently there is a delay in getting the application approved due to the pandemic.

If you have non plagiarized content and want to make money through the website then Google adsense is the best way to monetize your content as it has the highest CPM & CTR rate in the industry.

England team dint got chance to bat as well or say they dint had any practice of batting in this test match. Also, on last day till now it is raining and might just end without even a ball being bowled.
It looks like the rain god's have listened to your cries  Cheesy. I was wondering why England is batting when the match is done and dusted rather than taking rest and going back to their hotels and there is no way a result could be made but it is good time to improve the average of batsman as there is no pressure about a result Cheesy.
Hope we will be able to see the next match without any interruption and if there are signs of rain its better to go for a draw .

Pakistan should be happy for the second test, the way they batted first it was pretty clear they would have lost the 2 test match. The next test is crucial if Pakistan wins the third test, the series would end in a draw. England would not want to lose the last test match. if the weather again plays its part and the third test also is declared draw. then England will still win the series.

CSK should re brand their franchise and change their name into Chennai Retired Super King (CRSK). Close to 95% players are retired but as a team still, A force to reckon with.

LOL!
Unless those retired players are unable to perform they can still keep the same name. They have a very powerful team, experienced and intelligent players, this year also they are the favourites to win the tournament.

It will be considered as gambling because you would be asking users to wager a certain amount. If you do not ask them to wager and plan to donate a certain amount using the same method it would be considered as charity.

You can check this post to understand the concept of charity more - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5269125.0
5011  Local / India / Re: GoSats - An Attempt to Promote Bitcoin in India (What's your views guys?) on: August 18, 2020, 07:18:01 AM
The website doesnt't speak of any promoter or developer. Seems like they are looking for anonymity. The domain registrant is some "Internet computer bureau limited" which is of course a made-up name. The registration address belongs to something called Sure Limited of Diego Gracia. Diego Gracia is famous to most Indians for the US base in the Indian ocean. It was recently in news during the China standoff.

There isn;t much information on Sure Ltd except the name of a board member who is supposedly in Bahrain Telecom and goes by the name Ihab Anwar.

Do you guys think that a website or service of this kind should have so many layers of obfuscation?? For reference, compare this with the open mention of the Purse.io team.

I think they are hiding because of the current uncertainty in indian crypto space. Recently. I opened up an online bank account with a private bank and I was asked not to use it for crypto-related transactions. I was in the impression that those things have been solved after the supreme court verdict


They are still in pre-sign up mode and are not asking anything confidential only your email address. We still need to wait for an official announcement and then we can decide what is wrong and what is right.

It is too early to come into any conclusion.

In my opinion it is a great initiative and we need to watch this space for more information.

This is a really good initiative. CMC has become crap and I did not like coingecko as the layout seems too much complicated. It is nice to see an Indian website with a smooth layout and good design coming up.

But, there are some issues that these guys need to work on. It is not loading properly, I am using a broadband service and I do not think my internet speed is to be blamed.

5013  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russian tool will make your transactions transparent on: August 18, 2020, 06:40:05 AM
According to Cointelegraph developers from Lebedev Physical Institute have successfully developed a prototype of new crypto analytics system called "Transparent Blockchain".

They claim this system effectively uses artificial intelligence to reduce anonymity of transactions in blockchains like Bitcoin, Ether, Omni, Dash and Monero.

In essense, the system enables blockchain analysts "to track the movement of digital financial assets and identify crypto service providers to fight illicit activity related to digital assets".

What do you think? Should we be worried?

In a way it will help stop scams but it will also to a certain extent compromise the privacy of individuals using these coins. Privacy based coins will become redundant if this system works.

I do not think we need to be worried of it yet.
5014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you use BTC to generate passive income like ERC20 tokens? on: August 18, 2020, 06:28:37 AM
First of all Holding Bitcoin itself for the long term will earn you a high-interest rate if everything goes well Bitcoin will reach a new ATH in just a couple of years.

Still, if you want to earn more then you can use your Bitcoin for lending on platforms like Blockfi and Binance exchange. There are couple of Defi wallets that also provide interest on Bitcoin for example crypto.com wallet.
5015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Here is what I don’t understand about DEFI? on: August 16, 2020, 10:02:25 AM
How can you loan money without trust? Background checks, credit history. I understand if someone uploads collateral like Bitcoin or Ethereum, But then why not just spend the bitcoin or Ethereum? Why take out a loan?

Is it simply to avoid paying capital gains?

Can someone please explain to me how DEFI could ever lend someone money for a mortgage?

They are not paying you a single dime without any collateral. They only pay you 70% or 80% of your collateral. Any any case they are always in a win win situation as none of your collateral will be released until you pay the capital amount.

I have not heard any DEFI lending for a mortgage because their business is based on digital collateral not physical.

Yes, BCCI got the required permission from the government, they are all set to organize the tournament. Currently they are looking for new sponsors. This year IPL can be the most view one, due to the lockdown as well as probably it is going to the be the last IPL for MSD, Raina, ABD.

No. Check the previous posts. The CSK owner has stated that Mahendra Singh Dhoni would continue to play for them at least until 2022. I am not sure about Suresh Raina and AB de Villiers, but I don't see any reason for them to retire so early when they are earning good amounts from the IPL. Times have changed. Nowadays cricketers are retiring at 40-42 years, which is an increase of 5-6 years when compared to the situation a decade ago.

They have taken retirement from International cricket and IPL as per my understanding is a domestic T20 tournament. Hence, I do not see any reason for MSD or Raina not to play the IPL. They can play as long as their body allows them and as long as they are selected.
5018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 16, 2020, 09:17:39 AM
Two on India's finest players retiring on the same day all thanks to the Pandemic.

Suresh Raina has been unable to play regularly due to injury issues. And that was probably the reason why he retired from international cricket, which is more demanding. He is just 33 years old and nowadays most of the players retire when they are 40-42. He might have took the decision to reduce the workload, so that he could play in the IPL for a longer duration. Afterall, IPL salaries are manytimes higher than the contract fee for the national team.

Yes, Inhuries may be one of the reason for his early retirement and the other would be not getting to play enough. If this year IPL would have been in time then these players would have been able to show their performance and get selected for the T20 world cup or other tournaments.

Now the situation is completely different and will remain like this for some time now.

The actual meaning of Money is - a medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes.

My understanding - Money is nothing but a medium by which the government controls your present and your future.
