521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 01, 2024, 03:35:50 PM
In my opinion, online gambling is much safer. When you participate in offline gambling, you are in a room where you may be sprayed with drugs or put in your food to increase the feeling of euphoria and encourage you to bet without thinking about the consequences. If you win, you run the risk of being victimized by scammers and robbers. In addition, you spend a lot of money to buy food and other items in the casino itself.

But anyway, online gambling is still my top order. I always look for reputable gambling websites to play, I feel secure when I leave my assets there. It's interesting that I can play online gambling anytime, anywhere, without going to gambling locations.
In my perception most of the gamblers like to gamble in online more than offline. They know that there is no platform without risk in gambling. To win at gambling, you have to take risks. But casual gamblers who do not have much interest in gambling can try offline gambling. If there are common errors in offline, it is difficult to find those errors, moreover, online games are generally more attractive than offline games. If a gambler wants he can reduce his risk on both online and offline platforms. I personally don't like offline gambling and most of the people I meet enjoy online gambling very much. Moreover, some gamblers are skeptical about offline gambling even they fell doubt in various offline games.

The inexperienced UAE side is now well controlled by experienced Afghanistan team. UAE got good start but once they lose there skipper Muhammad Wasim, the later batmen could not face the Afghan spinners. Now 7 wickets have gone down in 17 overs and the only good thing for UAE is that there opener Lakra is still on the crease. Now projected score has gone down from 175 to 150 runs. 18 balls left in UAE innings and they need to play sensibly to give a target of 150 runs.

The batsmen of the Afghanistan team mainly lost more wickets, due to which they were forced to be all out in the end. United Arab Emirates bowling performance was good due to which almost 2 players of Afghanistan team were dismissed for 0 runs. Here lies the more weakness of the Afghanistan team as 6 batsmen have basically scored below 10 runs. That is why the Afghanistan team failed to meet the target of 166 runs given by the United Arab Emirates.

In my point of view United Arab Emirates was good in both sides. Means in Bowling line and in batting line. When they were bowling they were trying to collect more wickets and Especially if you will see Ali Naseer attacked well and there is one more player Muhammad Jawadullah They both collected 4,4 wickets. I was expecting that United Arab Emirates will show performance like this. I really appreciate them. Afghanistan tried well but unfortunately United Arab Emirates was showing it self. Congratulations to United Arab Emirates who won this match. Abd now the series is equal with 1-1.
In the 2nd T20 match, UAE's opening partnership was excellent due to which they managed to win the match. Their collection in the opening partnership was 116 runs. The rest were not able to score much. Bowlers also had a special role to win the match. It is not easy to bowl out a team that scored 200 runs in the 1st match but the UAE made the difficult task easy and won the match. Muhammad Jawadullah and Ali Naseer both took 4 wickets each and UAE won the match. As both the teams are back to level now the series deciding match is definitely important for the two teams. As the match will be played at the UAE venue, their chances may increase slightly, but Afghanistan definitely a strong team who is expected to win the match.
523  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the perception of people about gamblers in your neighborhood? on: January 01, 2024, 09:19:41 AM
Gamblers were seen as irresponsible people in my town few years ago. Parents usually warn their children never to indulge in gambling or associate with people who gamble. However, a lot has changed recently as gambling has become one of the biggest business here. As a result of that, societal perception has also improved as many testimonies of life-changing wins from gambling has emerged.

I don't know if this is only happening in my area or is a general trend, hence the reason I created this post. Let's know what people think about gamblers and how well the gambling business is faring in your area.
I don't trust gambling experts at all. Because in gambling no one knows who will win and who will lose. An expert may have more ideas about gambling. He may win more but I am not willing to give him a share of the winnings from gambling as he cannot guarantee a certain win. If there is no luck in gambling, there is no winning. If an expert claims to be so experienced, then I will say why he is motivated to provide services to others instead of gambling himself. For those who have no idea about gambling, those experts play a role but I don't think they are needed. But if they give a prediction without any financial exchange then the prediction can be analyzed and betting decisions can be taken.

Just wanted to touch base and see how your holidays are going. Any significant updates in your portfolio?
Historical data indicates that significant holidays, such as Christmas, tend to bring about noticeable shifts in trading patterns and market sentiments.
Those who have decided to invest depending on the upcoming bull market have already made their advance preparations. I have followed my best but not enough and will continue to gradually increase the investment until the next bull market comes. After collecting bitcoins I am trying to invest in some altcoins but that is a small part of the total investment. I am giving more importance to Bitcoin because Bitcoin will surpass all time high not only in the coming year 2024. There is also a possibility of 150000-20000 target. And if I can hold the investment there, then there is a possibility of getting several times the current investment. As we come to the end of this year, the year ahead will welcome the auspicious New Year 2024 and for those investors who have taken care of their holdings, the New Year will move towards fulfilling their dreams. 2024 will be one of the year of crypto revolution.

Australia W VS India W 2nd ODI
There is a saying in cricket, "Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty". So it cannot be said in advance which team will win. But based on the game on the field it will be proved which team will win. But according to our plan we hope that the team we support will win.
You are absolutely right predicting any team victory from start is meaningless because we all know that team won by thier performance not by our prediction and all those will win who performed well on day match. If we took these guys idea then according to them Australia, India, paksitan shouldn't be defeated against a weak team which is totally wrong because at different event and series it got proved and they lose against a weak team for several times
Quote
The second ODI will be played between India Women's team and Australia Women's team. Earlier, India Women's team lost to Australia Women's team by a huge margin of 6 wickets in the first ODI match. India Women's team must win two more matches against Australia Women's if they want to win the series.
Second ODI has been finished and Australia took dominance over Indian, no doubt indian side give them tough fight back but thier performance were not up to the mark and that's why they lose and important match through which they lose thier entire ODI bilertral series too. Some guys from Indian side done a good job but unable to make a victory for his team.
In the second ODI of Australia Women's Team vs India Women's Team, India Women's Team restricted Australia Women's Team to 258 runs. In the first ODI, Australia women's team won brilliantly, in the second ODI too, after giving a target of only 259 runs, Australia women's team won the match by just 3 runs. Congratulations to Australia Women's team for a five run win.
At one stage of the match, Indian supporters thought that India Women's team would pull off an easy win but finally it was not happen. The game of the whole team changed in the last 3 overs. India needed 21 from 18 balls to win but found it difficult to prevent their wickets from falling from then. The Indian team lost the match after coming back from the chances of winning the match easily. Vastrakar lost his wicket in 47.4 overs and Harleen Deol in the 49th over. Thus in the end they lost the match by only 3 runs. They would not have lost the series if they had won the second match of the series. Now India women will have to take the title of Whitewash if they do not win the last match. They will definitely try to do well in the last match.
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: December 31, 2023, 12:40:44 PM
I will not blame anyone for my gambling losses but in this case is I will blame the mother for her irresponsibility. What I am know that gambling amount should be as much as one person can a afford to lose but in this case the seen is totally different. I think the mom will be responsible for the son. Addiction is very dangerous especially on gambling.
It would be weird to do so otherwise because it's your own volition that you got yourself into gambling just because someone introduced you to gambling doesn't mean they've got to take care of you not to get crazy and overboard with your gambling habits. Exactly, the irresponsibility of an individual is their own fault and it's weird but expected of those irresponsible individuals that they blame the people that introduce them to gambling, they're irresponsible after all and they lack self-awareness.
A gambler may take part in gambling by hearing from others or by referral system. Many may try to involve other people in gambling to increase their referrals. I do not find any fault with the referrer or others. Because whether a person gambles or not will depend entirely on that person. No one can force him. Moreover, if someone wins in gambling, he will never want to give a share of the winnings to his referrer. There is no room to blame him for that compliance either. Moreover, whatever anyone says, since my own decision is the most appropriate, then what is the use of blaming others? I think only people who have lost their general sense would make such a complaint.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 31, 2023, 12:16:53 PM
Soumya Sarkar was the first wicket, Najmul Hossain Shanto was the second wicket, and Rony Talukdar was the third wicket. Afif Hossain was the fourth wicket, and Towhid Hridoy was the fifth wicket. Mahedi Hasan was the sixth wicket. Shamim Hossain was the seventh wicket. Shoriful Islam was the 8 wicket. Tanvir Islam was the ninth wicket. Rishad Hossain was the last wicket.
Overall if we see New Zealand performance was not good. They lost five wickets fortunately they have won because the target was no much high. With DLS method they won by 17 runs.
Mitchell Santner performance was really excellent. First he collected 4 wickets after that in batting line he was holding the wickets from getting down. He made 18 runs and remained not out. He is the Captain of the New Zealand team too. Shoriful Islam and Mahedi Hasan was trying well to collect the wickets of New Zealand they both collected 2,2 wickets. Congratulations to New Zealand team.

Important to mention this as the falling of the wickets of Bangladesh, this is in which number everyone got in the falling of wickets, and no one stood in the ground for some more time that's why they are just possible to give the target of 110 runs. Had anyone batted responsibly and they had one or two partnerships, the result would have been entirely different.
Sometimes unprofessional behavior of responsible batsmen has become as usual situation in cricket. On the other hand the spectators also always expect their own supporting team to win. However, it is not possible to beat New Zealand with the score that the Bangladesh team collected at their own venue in today's match. Top batsman did not find their rhythm from the start. None of the players could score individual 20 runs in Bangladesh's innings, nor did they bat the entire 20 overs. The fact that the pitch was not good that is understood by the New Zealand's batting conditions. Tim Seifert, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman each of them lost their wicket just by only one run.
528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: December 30, 2023, 05:38:35 AM
This type of behavior is seen in almost every gambler who likes to gamble after repeated losses and when they lose their money they find a way and start gambling again. There could be several reasons for this. Either the gambler is an addict or he enjoys gambling. But gambling is an addictive activity for those who do not have a job or money. Fun in gambling is usually only possible for those who have more money and who can earn money regularly. I have few friends who are in debt due to gambling. They realize they shouldn't have gambled this way but when they get some money in hand they try to get money from gambling again. I call it addiction. If a gambler can't come back from this situation then it is definitely a big problem for him.
529  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 30, 2023, 05:27:46 AM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.

One of the reasons for this is greed. For example, a high roller is a rich man who starts betting with a $1k balance and starts betting with 50-100 USDT. Most of the time they can make money 1200-1300 with some common odds (2x). and it's enough for them to stop playing.

On the other hand, poor people start betting with 50 USD for example, and try to make a profit like 200-300. which is 4-6x the initial deposit. which is very hard to achieve without a nice multiplier. To achieve this nice multiplier they lost even after winning a good amount.

Another reason is rich people do gambling a fun. Looks like they don't care about the money they playing with. And yes when you don't care about money and play like crazy there is a nice chance to win big what you can not understand how you won this Smiley
Your points here are certainly valid. Who are wealthy bettors do not need to gamble all day. If you make a big bet i.e. $2k or $3k you can get good returns. But it cannot be done in favor of a poor bettor. But the greed to get more with less money works more in those poor gamblers so we see poor gamblers lose their money. If a rich gambler loses a bet he can fund and start gambling again but a poor gambler cannot. Another plus point for rich gamblers is that they don't need to participate in high stakes. But those with less capital do more wagering to grow money and don't have money when they need it.

What if Bitcoin ETF is not Approved

Whereas optimism is high as regards the approval of Bitcoin ETF which could be a milestone for investor to come in. Bitcoin topped $42,000 in December 2023 and the yearly gain compared from 2021 to date is 160%. One major factor at play was the hope to list Bitcoin ETF which is a very progressive discussion between the Asset managers and the Securities and exchange commissions.
In the cryptocurrency or trading world I think everyone should think a little differently. We all have ideas and are fully focused on bitcoin ETF. Many of us assumed that Bitcoin ETFs would be approved. But it may not be. And if not, then we should have an idea in advance about what situation the market may go. But the most positive thing here is that if Bitcoin ETF is not approved then we will get bitcoin halving event which will play a major role in creating a bullish movement in Bitcoin and if ETF is approved earlier then this movement will add more strength. There are many investors who are waiting for the approval of Bitcoin ETF.
531  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Must you lose before you gain in Bitcoin investment? on: December 30, 2023, 04:55:42 AM
Questions like this has popped out in several occasions and arguments concerning Bitcoin investment. My friends will say you must lose before you gain or rather have more experience investing in Bitcoin. If its how it work, Bitcoin isn't for a low income earner as well as not gonna make you rich when you can't invest something tangible to it. On the other hand people are been made big and wealthy in same program. What does it in tell, cos am quite sure people had already known what's going to happen in the market in the nearest future to give them the strong mindset to invest porously. My biggest fear is losing my hard earn to something as volatile, vulnerable and uncertain as btc. What's the possibility you invest without losing. Is it guaranteed in this kinda market?
Going by your post title: No you mustn't lose but it's an inevitable aspect of crypto you should hold in mind when investing so you don't get fumed by FUD,s in the future not to make hasty wrong  decisions about your investment. There are investors that started with a profiting foot that's just their luck but one thing I understand about bitcoin is that you just don't lose, you don't at all I'm as much as it's a long term investment plan you have set in place for yours.
Bitcoin may be volatile but it's ain't vulnerable and as for guarantee your chances of making profit is 3x bigger than that of making a loss if it's for omg term.
Every financial investment involves risk. No one can ever say that he will get sure profit from his investment. But who will invest by taking this risk will face profit or loss by the investment. As Bitcoin is the most volatile currency and has high value, an investor has to take the highest risk and gain adequate knowledge otherwise the chances of losing are high. But it cannot be said that everyone who invests will lose. Even if a person has relatively less knowledge, if he invests in Bitcoin right now for long term, he may not face loss. Everyone who want to invest in trading business must be prepared to lose. Moreover, I will never say loss in the case of those who will lose at the beginner level, it can also be called a type of investment.
532  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone can succeed as a bitcoin trader on: December 30, 2023, 04:14:40 AM
In reality there is quite difference between theory and practical. But we cannot reject the theory. For any job we must know theory well along with practical experience. Trading is a platform where people can expose themselves to big financial risks for little reasons. Starting a trade without knowing about trading means facing guaranteed financial losses. Although we cannot say that a trader can make a profit just by taking a trade, an experienced trader knows when and where to trade. Moreover, a trader needs to know some things that should be known in order to trade. A bitcoin trader needs to know about bitcoins. After knowing various things like how Bitcoin works and when investors are attracted here, if a trader does not have the rules of Bitcoin trading then he can profit by trading in Bitcoin. But for those who are new, Bitcoin trading will be very difficult. As it is highly volatile, the risk is high.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 29, 2023, 05:58:30 PM
Bangladesh had the upper hand when it started raining. After 11 overs, New Zealand had made just 72/2. The partnership between Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell was really struggling to score runs, and they had made 14 runs from 22 balls by the time it rained. When Tim Seifert got out, they were 58/2 in 7.2 overs, but then they crawled to 72/2 after 11 overs. Once Seifert got out, other batsmen couldn't keep up with the scoring rate. So it looks as if Bangladesh would have won the match if there was no rain interruption. Anyway, they are up by 1-0 so far.
New Zealand was at 54-1 at the end of the powerplay. I was thinking that NZ will score around 180 runs as the way they were batting. But they situation completely turned in favour of Bangladesh in the next 5 overs, especially after the fall of Tim Seifert wicket. The target would have been low even if the match was played by reducing the overs. Bangladesh bowlers are doing quite well in the T20 format there. I won't be surprised if they manage to win the series by winning the last match.

The second T20I was called off due to heavy rain. Bangladesh seemed to be in control of today's match, and it's not unfair to say that the rain saved or prolonged New Zealand's chances of facing their first-ever T20 series defeat in their home conditions. This time, rain wins, and now all eyes are on the final international match of 2023. Bangladesh leads the three-match T20I series by 1-0, heading into the final T20I. We'll see if the series will be shared or if Bangladesh has a chance to win.
In today's match, Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to bowl, maybe they could have done something better today. Could have been a good chance for New Zealand too. But due to rain all the equation go to the dogs, now the upcoming match has become important for both. As it is not unusual for any major incident to happen in Bangladesh venue, the series could be Bangladesh. The final match is going to be a special moment for whichever team wins on the last day of the year. Due to which we will be able to see a competitive game in the last match.

When you have no strong case in any organization and your money is also not works then things like these happen easily, I really appreciate ITF and its decision.

Hopefully now Indian will be also skipped this tour because this is already rejected by ITF and its tribunal as well so if they will not tour then they will be going into Davis Cup group 2 and Pakistan will be stayed in this group as winner.

https://www.deccanherald.com/sports/tennis/aita-loses-appeal-in-itf-tribunal-indian-davis-cup-team-will-have-to-travel-to-pakistan-2823399

Well, India won't be touring to Pakistan to play any sports whether it be cricket or tennis. I do not know the influence of ITF, but if we talk about cricket then ICC will definitely favor India and they will try their best to host the tournaments outside Pakistan even those which were planned to be hosted by Pakistan. They would not want an India to miss out on any tournament only because they can't visit Pakistan, rather they will move the tournament outside Pakistan and if Pakistan does not want to play, it doesn't matter to them.

Last time, the Indian tennis team visited Pakistan was back in 1964 and they won the series too but since then a lot has changed and now Indians have become a mighty giant in terms of ownership and resources of ICC.
Since India contributes the most to the ICC's revenue, it is not unreasonable to give them priority. But if we are talking about whole cricket world then each team or country should be given importance. Be it India or Pakistan. By doing this, cricket will spread. Naturally, if any country cannot host international tournaments for a long time, then they cannot be expected to improve their cricket, rather their cricket will disappear with time. As of lately cricket is weak accept a few countries. Although ICC has added many countries to cricket but it has not increased the popularity of cricket and thus it is not possible.

India women Vs Australia women
The match is started now and India is playing their turn. India already lost one wicket of Shafali Verma. And now Richa Ghosh and Yastika Bhatia are playing at this time. If we took a look on Test match so we will see that Indian team has won that match. But there is the difference between Test match and ODI match so for now we this is really hard to predict that which team will win this match. At this time India has made 23 runs in 5 overs with the lost of one wicket.
India at 148/5. Jemimah Rodrigues is still there with 33, but on the other end they have the inexperienced Amanjot Kaur. Australian bowlers have done a good job so far and almost everyone have been on the wicket column. None of the Indian batters could get to a half-century, although Yastika Bhatia made 49. It is going to be a tough job for the Indian bowlers, unless the lower order batters can take them to at least 250. The match is taking place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and we can't expect any additional support for the bowlers.

Although the India women's top order did not play well, the responsible batting of openers Yastika Bhatia, Jemimah Rodrigues and Pooja managed to set a big target of 283 runs. Jemimah Rodrigues scored 82 off 77 balls and Pooja was unbeaten on 62 off 46 balls. At the beginning of the innings, the Australian bowlers were able to bowl well, but the team was not able to maintain continuity.

Australia women's team stumbled early in their innings. Australia Women lost the vital wicket of Alyssa Healy before scoring any runs. A big target of 283 runs will be very difficult for Australia women team to win.

Despite opener Alyssa Healy not scoring any runs, Australia women's team is now in a good position. At the end of 11 overs, Australia women's team collected 60 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. Litchfield remained unbeaten on 23 off 32 balls and Ellyse Perry on 35 off 31 balls. These two batsmen are batting very responsibly. Indian bowlers need to break this pair quickly. If not, 283 runs will become easier for Australia women team. Australia women's batting order is strong. It is not difficult for them to collect 283 runs. I thought I would see better bowling from Pooja Vastrakar. But he gave away 24 runs in 3 overs.
India women's team lost the first match of the ODI series. I think India Women's team could have done a little better if they had some wickets in hand. But they performed well even though they lost the match. Yastika Bhatia, Rodrigues Pooja Vastrakar all batted brilliantly. Pooja Vastrakar's performance at number 9 was widely appreciated. A few players single runs here basically put the match behind. On the other hand, Australia women's team captain Alyssa Healy returned to score but the rest turned the match into a win. Their top 4 batsmen have performed consistently.
536  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODLers, When Will You Sell? on: December 28, 2023, 05:23:24 PM
I really admire people capable of keeping bitcoins in their wallets for years without even moving them. I see wallets that their owners never moved coins from for 10 years and wonder how they do it. If you're a HODLer. when do you hope to sell? Would you cash out if Bitcoin soars to $100,000 or sit back and wait until it gets to a million?

ONLY for HODLers please. PLease share when you'll be happy to sell.
Almost all of us know about holding but not all can be actual holders. We have some holders who are willing to sell when the price is good and consider themselves as holders when the price falls. I think those who claim to be holders of bitcoins should not have such a view. By doing so he may lose his wealth despite being a Bitcoin holder. We should plan for the long term when it comes to investing in bitcoins. Those who truly intend to make their dreams come true with Bitcoin must avoid being swayed by the ups and downs of Bitcoin. At times the behavior of Bitcoin will go to such an extreme level that many cannot control it and sell their Bitcoins. But if one dreams of long-term investing in bitcoins, one should think that his bitcoins are lost. If I draw a fixed limit from the beginning, the bitcoins can be sold only when the expected level is reached. If we expect a big return from Bitcoin then of course holding it for 5 to 10 years I think it would be appropriate.
537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: December 27, 2023, 07:21:33 PM
It always starts when they couldn't control their emotions or greed, they would surely come back and risk more once they experience a huge win.
It is always the thirst that would drive someone back even if they could ruin their life, I am not just implying on gambling but also in other things as well.
Once they get the pleasure or experience something that they like, they would surely comeback for more it is always the start of addiction.

It is natural that once someone enjoys any addictive activity, he will return to it again and again. Such situations are more common in people who cannot control themselves normally and in the case of gambling, these actions are most common. When a gambler wins 1 game, he tries to win the next game. People who become addicted do not know when to take a break during this period. As a result, even if they win first, they have to lose again. If a gambler follows a good guideline of how gambling should be handled, he can avoid gambling too recklessly. There are many suggestions now available on how to manage gambling and avoid comparative losses. If a gambler understands those they can enjoy gambling immensely.

To catch up, Bangladesh today recorded a record in the first T20 match which they have never been able to do in the past. Bangladesh won the T20 match for the first time on New Zealand soil against New Zealand. When Bangladesh defeated New Zealand in the last ODI match, that win record was still the highest achievement for Bangladesh as Bangladesh have not won any ODI match on New Zealand soil till now. If we discuss the T20 matches, then there will definitely come praise for the brilliant bowling of the Bangladeshi bowlers. But it was good to see that the skipper had placed his trust in another and Bangladesh were able to finish brilliantly. Liton Das played from start to finish to ensure the team's victory and then left the field.
Bangladesh players were very confident in today's match after their big win against New Zealand team in the last ODI match. And I would say it is because of this confidence that the Bangladesh team was able to beat New Zealand.
Bangladeshi bowlers need to be thanked for this victory. I thought since New Zealand were batting first, they would at least give a target of 180+. But New Zealand only set a target of 135 runs. New Zealand team lost three wickets for 1 run today. After that, they could not return to the truck. Bangladeshi opener Liton batted very responsibly today. Today he collected 42 runs unbeaten.
There is no doubt this is one of the important win for the Bangladesh, and it's time to praise them for their win which is impressive in these difficult conditions but still they need to improve their batting quality if they want to have better success in future against top teams their batting is still not good as they needed for doing these things again and again with bowling is also having good which is good sign.

Before match there were expectations we will have good target, but early breakthrough not allow New Zealand to have anything good as they were having in mind so Bangladesh able to stop them at 134 with the lost of 9 wickets, and they chased this target easily and having first win in this first match of the series which is good for them in rest of series.
With this win, Bangladesh can dream of winning the series. Bangladesh is a strong enough team at home ground. Their bowling performance is often better at home ground. But the New Zealand team is not less strong. They have the ability to take the team far in any situation. If Bangladesh not able to restrict New Zealand team under150 then the picture of the match could have changed. It's a good come back from Bangladesh after loss of ODI series. The next match in the 3-match series is a tough challenge for the New Zealand team to defend the series. Generally as far as I know about Bangladesh cricket they are quite weak in chasing. If New Zealand can give a good target above 150 then it will be difficult for them to win. Although they won this match by chasing.

Afghanistan 2023 ODI World Cup has been the biggest surprise as they have defeated two tough opponents like England and Pakistan. Moreover, Afghanistan's top order batsmen performed well as usual and lower order batsmen especially Rashid khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman could bowl well as well as bat fairly well. That's why Afghanistan's score is much higher than other teams. Moreover, most of the players of Afghanistan participate in Big Bash, IPL, PSL, Carribbean League, County League at various times. That's why they have some kind of experience working inside their batting and bowling which makes Afghanistan perform like an experienced team.
Afghanistan International team performance is excellent towards World cup 2023. When Rashid Khan became the part of Afghanistan team , Afghanistan International cricket team became a strong team. Rashid is best bowler whole the World. In the history, Afghanistan did not gave tough time to Pakistani team but now at that time Afghanistan International cricket team is much stronger than Pakistani cricket team. Pakistani team should work on their weaknesses.
I think Afghanistan is one of the fastest developing countries in the world in cricket. But it was possible because of the performances of players like Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi. Both of them are the prominent players of Afghanistan team. Rashid Khan quickly created a worldwide sensation with his spin magic. He got opportunities in leagues like IPL, big-bash and all others franchise cricket tournament. But compared to that, the Pakistan team is inferior. If there was no corruption in their cricket and qualified players were kept in the team then maybe this situation would not have happened. If the Afghanistan Cricket Board is not transparent here, their cricket will fall far behind.

Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?
While gambling is fun, when a bettor places bets and watches live games, there is bound to be excitement in him if the stakes are a bit high. I don't feel so bad when I bet small but when I bet big it must be a bit embarrassing to see the team doing poorly. I think the situation would be the same for almost everyone who is human. If anyone bet there for fun too. Who wants to lose a bet? But some people bet but their feeling of losing or winning is not huge especially those who have a lot of money and who are not addicted gamblers. Those who are not greedy for betting money. A lot of excitement in live sports or betting won't work for those who can really control their greed.
