Disappointing performance from Nepal team. While chasing the target of 181 runs, already lost 7 wickets scoring 114 runs. Opener Bhurtel alone have scored 35 runs. Now the bottom order Sandeep Lamichhane and Airee at 32* runs gives the winning hope, 68 runs required in the remaining 18 overs. UAE isn't that good at bowling, but in such situation if the pressure on Nepal is used well it can turn to be a winning match for UAE.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
Today is the fourth match of World Cup Qualifier Super Six Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka. Both teams have been playing well since the beginning of the World Cup qualifiers. Both teams are undefeated so far. A loss today would be the first defeat between these two teams in World Cup qualifiers. Both the teams have performed well and it is difficult to say which team will win. Sri Lanka is stronger than Zimbabwe in today's match. Sri Lanka's bowling line and batting line are better than Zimbabwe. I think the chances of Sri Lanka winning today's match are a bit higher.
Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
 The match between these two teams has already started. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl. Now Zimbabwe came out to bat. They scored 127 runs in 23 overs. Zimbabwe are now under a lot of pressure with the loss of 5 wickets. Sri Lanka has a lot of power in the bowling line.There is a possibility of Zimbabwe going all out in today's match. Zimbabwe has started to perform poorly in batting. It doesn't look like Zimbabwe will be able to set a target of 220 runs today.
Zimbabwe lost quick wickets as Madusanka took hold of the first spell taking three wickets. Then Sean Williams and Sikander Raza built good partnership and Raza fell at 31 runs, Williams lost his wicket at 56 runs. Going to be a difficult match for Zimbabwe and somehow the team will reach around 200+ runs. Zimbabwe can try to win the match, however this is going to be tough as Sri Lanka have got the better winning chance as the target isn't enough to defend.

England are in deep shit at the moment. Australia women won an amazing thriller earlier and it looks like the men will win this and keep embarassing the english in their own backyard despite their entertaining bazball approach.

Not expecting any miracles from Stokes etc like some of the posters above. Great comeback by Starc! Also, screw Pietersen for the whole concussion sub crap.
Miracles happening in T20 is possible, but in test format cricket it is something impossible. Stokes and Duckett have added few runs, and to reach the target is not a possible thing. Earlier Australia Women played well and won the match against England Women. In that match it was the lack of bowling and mistakes on field were the reason for the loss of England Women team. Within few hours the match will resume and we can get the perfect outcome of the match within the first ten overs bowled.
524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto another form of gambling? on: July 01, 2023, 05:53:34 PM
For people who doesn't have the proper understanding about cryptocurrency and the market will simply say crypto is another form of gambling. I have experienced it in real time during a conversation. I introduced bitcoin to a brother and he had interest, but for some reason he wasn't able to buy and it got skipped. Now whenever he meets me he used to say I could've bought earlier when you said about it for the very first time. During that time another friend was with him and he briefed the past story with him, how high the price have moved in the short time period. Suddenly he stated this is kind of gambling and I tried to convince him, but he isn't ready to accept it.

When I asked him the reason why you mentioned so, his answer "The market is based on the demand to supply basis, however the real growth is connected to it for some percentage, apart the growth is happening on its own and none were able to identify it" and he said with stock market the value bounce depending on the growth of the particular company.

England's bouncer tactics are boring as hell. Australia is playing very sensibly which is why such tactics are pointless against them at the moment. None of their bowlers are able to produce the much needed breakthrough.

Australia might even end up providing a lead close to 420 at the rate at which they are going sealing the game and possibly the series too.
It's not just England but Australia also followed the short ball and well directed bouncer tactics as there is hardly any lateral movement.

I think Poms are pulling back nicely, they might have a real shot if they wrap Aussie's tail cheaply and they are 1 batter short i suppose because Lyon is injured and won't be able to bat.
In the previous test match it was the tail players who were the game changers. Pat Cummins played well in both the innings scoring 38 runs and 44* runs at the very critical situation in a much responsible manner. Maybe if his wicket have fallen, England could've won the first test match. Australia leads 350 runs and somehow the tail will contribute another 50 runs. This time the match will come closer and Australia will win the match with its best bowling line-up.
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: July 01, 2023, 10:39:24 AM
I agree that the stadiums in USA is a lot better and that's why it is more heavily there, it makes sense in the end because they have the population, the money, the infrastructure and everything else ready. Mexico is not a rich nation neither, and we all know about cartels too which is already enough of a trouble. I know not enough people talk about this because media doesn't want it to be talked about and they all zip it before it starts, but we need to talk about it.
Left three years later before FIFA World Cup 2026 begin and seems host countries have enough time for preparing their stadium for World Cup, no doubt with United State has better stadium than two host countries Canada or Mexico but almost United State stadium seems not better than last host World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

But Canada and United State are rich countries and seems easy for them in short time for renovation the stadium and Mexico have submitted with their stadium used for World Cup 2026. But difference with next World Cup on 2026 because not any bad news publishing until right now because last edition before World Cup 2022 begin many bad news publishing by European player and many of the not agree Qatar as the host for World Cup 2022.

Three years is enough for a country to repair the stadiums and make them ready for the world cup I think the USA got everything to host the world cup in the best situation. They got enough stadiums and sports facilities also they have enough good hotels to host the world cup visitors in their country.
Even America is in a situation to host the world cup by itself without other players.
Canada have got just two venue, Mexico have got three venue. So maintenance and making arrangements won't be a big deal for the hosts. With the advanced technology every arrangements can be made in a much shorter time period. Qatar didn't had the infrastructure, and for that reason it needs lot of time and they made it a big celebration. The fulfillment that Qatar gave could've increased the expectation on USA, Canada and Mexico.

If you can bowl well like this, Scotland will have a chance to win. Let's see which team can win in the end.
Looks like another humiliating loss for West Indies as they lost their top 5 wickets for just 63 runs, really disappointing to see how they are struggling to play against associate countries, it will be a long road for them to recover from this situation. Nicholas Pooran and Jason Holder are in the crease and they are the only hope to post any decent total but it is highly unlikely they could recover and win from this situation.
Two-time former champions West Indies have completely failed to qualify themselves for this year's ODI World Cup 2023 qualifiers. They are in 5th position with no points in the Super Six and are unlikely to qualify. Tomorrow's match between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands is no more likely for the West Indies to qualify if Sri Lanka wins. Moreover, if West Indies can beat Scotland with a huge margin in today's match then there would be some chance but unfortunately in today's match West Indies had a massive batting disaster and collected 132/6.
Earlier it had a disappointing loss against Netherlands and this time the same gonna happen against Scotland. In 41 overs West Indies have collected 169/8 and with the small teams performing well these kind of scoring isn't enough to defend. The chance for West Indies to qualify is almost nil. Depending on the other teams performance for it to qualify is not good. As stated two time champion playing worse as this is really bad cricket from West Indies. The team should organise more training sessions or make some arrangements to have consistent performance which is more important.

Observing the game closely, one cannot overlook the impact of the pitch's variation over the days. It has undeniably influenced the proceedings. England was stable until the fall of the 5th wicket, but the subsequent loss of wickets in quick succession ended their innings prematurely, didnt it?

Despite a lineup dominated by fast bowlers, the batting errors provided Australia with a substantial lead. Such situations tend to turn the tide of a match, dont they? However, the match is unlikely to conclude on the 4th day, keeping the hopes alive, albeit marginally. The dynamics of cricket are unpredictable, and sometimes, the best strategies fall short, isnt that right?

Defiantly match wont be over on day 4, as Australia need to give target of over 400 runs to be in safe so game will go to 5th day. England were bowl out in first session while Aussies batting is stable till stumps of day three. England were taking Aussie bowling for granted and were playing test like an ODI/T20. Both Smith and Khawaja are ideal test batsmen and England need to bowl them out as quickly as possible.
The first session wickets will be the deciding factor in today's play. If England were able to take few quick wickets the pressure can move on to Australia. If this doesn't take place, then England will be in struggle. For now both the teams are in similar position, with Australia having little upper hands on the match. Both the batsmen on the crease were the best and have supported Australia win more matches. Everyday there'll be some changes in the pitch and England made a big mistake in the previous match by declaring earlier in the first innings. This time no spin bowling will make them feel bad at the end of the match.

I don't understand what OP is try to brief, if he had talked about the altcoin season then we're getting closer to it. The Bitcoin dominance in the market have been getting rejected and the BTC altcoins trading pairs were getting pumped. This is kind of indication on altcoins season start. However it isn't sure that the altcoins will get pumped, but the fail of bitcoin in dominance around the key resistance area gives a clue of altcoins pump in the coming weeks.

In the end, Netherlands lost to Sri Lanka by 21 runs. I saw Netherlands cricket team lose seven wickets till 26.4 overs of play. They had three more wickets left in their hands. If the remaining wickets of the Netherlands could have held the match and played, then the Netherlands could have won against Sri Lanka. At that time, Netherlands needed 71 runs in 23.6 overs to win the match. But the batsmen in the last order, failed to collect these 71 runs.
Netherlands team continued to score with good runrate, but they weren't able to withstand wickets. Four players have lost the wicket without scoring single runs, among this two were openers. Four players scored single digit runs which are 2, 2, 5, 7. Remaining runs scored by Barresi (52 runs), de Leede (41 runs) and Edwards (67* runs). This shows the lack in performance from expected players. Always the combined progress brings win and today Netherlands failed in it.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 30, 2023, 06:42:29 PM
Australia's innings will be big. Because England's bowlers and batsmen are not playing well. Australia collected 416 runs in the first innings. And the Australian team collected 130 runs after losing 2 wickets in the second innings. Gradually they are moving towards big collections. Since the Australian team has already managed to take a lead of 221 runs, if Australia can collect 150 runs in the next day, it will be a big collection. However, I expected more responsible batting from England in the first innings. Had Bairstow and Stokes played some big innings, England would have been able to muster 400.
I think Australia is in very positive situation right now.
First session of day 4 will give better prediction on the match. Even now Australia is at the winning position with its 221 lead and 8 more wickets in hand. Khawaja, who served to be the turn in the first test match is on the crease reaching his half century. On the other side Smith have just started his batting. Anyhow the team will reach atleast 450 runs lead and request England to start their innings. Same as the first match England will lose the match getting close to the target.

Sri Lanka Vs Netherlands
Super Sixes 2nd Match of World Cup Qualifiers Sri Lanka Vs Netherlands. From the start of the World Cup Qualifiers, Sri Lanka team has played amazingly and won all four matches by playing four matches. On the other hand, Netherlands played 4 matches and won 3 matches. Netherlands had a remarkable win against West Indies in the last match. In today's match Sri Lanka bowling line batting line is better than Netherlands. I think Sri Lanka have more chances to win today's match. If Sri Lanka wins today's match, they will be number 1 in the Super Six points table.
[Edit]
Netherlands vs Sri Lanka today's ODI match has started. Sri Lanka won the toss and came to bat. Sri Lanka is a much stronger team than Netherlands. If Netherlands can play well today, there will be a chance to win. I think Netherlands will perform well in this match today.  Can do. Sri Lanka put the batsmen of the team under a lot of pressure. Sri Lanka scored 150 runs in 38 overs. Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure now with the loss of 7 wickets. But Netherlands is doing a great performance in bowling.
It is Dhananjaya de Silva (78*) who is carrying the entire responsibility, if his score hasn't come Sri Lanka could've ended the innings within 150 runs. Even in today's match Logan van Beek have his contribution taking important wickets of Nissanka, Samarawickrama and Asalanka and the runrate is less than 3rpo. Possibly the team will set target between 230 and 240 runs. Netherlands need to start good only then it can chase the target.

Most of the time when I prefer to go with the underdog my choice will be live betting, because during the match we'll get better odds so that the bet amount can be minimised and our luck can be tried. This at times brings luck and in such a stance I've won @10 odds, but those are very minimal bet amount. Other than this when the match is in critical situation, where any of the team could win I prefer making bets which will have high chance of wins.

The winning opportunity varies between the players. However the champion USA is at the stronger position to win the matches. Few of the teams important players were not playing the tournament due to injuries. This will surely make those teams have some soret of performance lack. England is one with such a situation, where its mid fielder and striker Beth Mead is out of the tournament. This time the prize pool for the tournament have been increased to $110 million from $30 million which is really a big change in Women's FIFA.

Oman has put up a tough fight against Zimbabwe. Oman need another 96 runs from 8 overs. They are still scoring at 7-8 runs per over, but that is well below the required rate (approx. 12 runs per over). Oman managed to perform decently this time, but that will not prevent Zimbabwe from getting two more points and take their total tally to 6 points from 3 matches in Super-6. Now they just need one more win (and probably none) to secure qualification for the ODI World Cup which will take place in India later this year.
Thats a tough fight chasing the target of 332 runs. Sean Williams as usual had played an awesome innings. To him the entire team had supported with little contribution. Oman on the other side started good and the century came for Prajapati. At the end 45 overs 268/6 and the required runrate was above 12. For the consecutive overs Oman maintained it, but the end overs became tougher. Anyhow good performance Oman and Zimbabwe have won the match by 14 runs.

It is true that majority of the gamblers in our forum is much into sports betting. Next stands the Dice which is the very common one. Myself too interested on Dice, earlier it was sports betting. At some point the instant outcome made me focus on Dice than sports betting. In simple, with sports betting for the odd @1.7 we need to wait for the completion of the match. With Dice we roll, and if we're lucky we'll get the result instantly. This drove me into Dice. When I was doing sports betting alone, I was in profit now my stats is in loss.
537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ads for online gambling should be banned. on: June 28, 2023, 10:01:11 AM
Already several countries have gambling ads banned partially and completely. Few of the countries include Germany, Spain, Italy, Uk and the list goes on. Does this mean that gambling isn't possible in those countries. Certain states have the ban on gambling where it isn't possible to gamble. In Qatar gambling is banned, if you remember the ads running around the ground during the days of FIFA you'll understand how effective is the ban. Ads were found around, the necessary steps need to taken on the actors and actresses, which is the effective way to ban ads. They should give the right information, not the mesmerizing chance of winning big.

This has a point. I rarely hear that someone is addicted in sports gambling. Most of the time, players get too much caught up with luck based games. Since luck based games such as slots and roulettes are not that complicated, it's much easier to access and play whenever and wherever. There's no need for an event to come up just to be able to play and bet. Unlike in sports betting wherein the gamblers have to wait a specific time frame in which the sports match will commence before they can make a bet. And with this being said, it's not going to be an everyday scenario for them which just basically puts them into lesser probability of getting addicted to gambling.

This depends on the gambler because, let's say, the gambler is fond of all sports, so he would possibly bet on all of them because there are everyday sports events or tournaments happening, so he can still get addicted. The same is true with e-sports, where there are everyday somewhat big events, celebrity match-ups, and local tournaments. As long as betting is involved, no matter if it is skill-based or luck-based, you can get addicted to it, and there is no exception.
The majority of the gambling addiction is out of Casinos and other games that are much dependent on luck than skills and data. With sports betting we can't see much of addiction, because very few out of the loss experienced in a game try to recover the loss with the consecutive game in which he doesn't have any idea. Here the gambler had selected the odds on pure luck, similar incidents won't happen with sports betting people. Mostly they try to bet on sports and events in which they have got idea. Addiction is mostly with people who want immediate winning which is possible with casino games. Based on my understanding maybe there'll be 10% of sports betting addicts whereas the 90% will be on luck based games addiction.

Using the emergency funds or selling the assets which will grow good in the long run isn't the right choice. Try to hold the situation and keep yourself in difficulty for a short. During the same time analyse well and find the right way to make some additional earnings. By the time you can use the emergency fund to have some passive income. This will help in cushion your life style amidst the inflation that is found all around the world.

Whenever we provide gold as collateral we'll be able to see the documentation mentioning the value of gold along with the weight. This serves as a proof, and the interest for the money borrowed with the gold collateral will be calculated. This is the procedure followed everywhere and the same gives trust on the service provided. In such a way if the pawn shop have the proper documentation, then it is good that we submit bitcoin as collateral and borrow money. However it has the highest risk than other forms of collateral as it is easy to destroy the trace of transactions using different mixing services. So, it all depends on the pawn shop, whether they're trusted one in the business and does they have registered with the government.
