So, in the end, it's not entirely about laying down rules for ourselves, but more of making sure we abide by that rule at all time, it's like the common saying that which made us understand that things are easier said than done, it's exactly very easy to come up with rules that will sure ensure we have a safe gambling experience, but it's harder to abide by the same rules, as doing so will require extreme determination and discipline, without this, it will just be us making another resolution we will turn away from almost immediately after making the resolution.
Rule are rules only when obeyed, thos is a very important aspect of setting a rule for yourself because in recent time, we have seen alot of people who set an almost unbearable rules for themselves and even at that, they don't obey the rules that they set for themselves. At best we need to make a flexible rules for ourselves so that we won't fine obeying them as uncomfortable or too hard to reach, but their is a high regards and needs for each gamblers to have a set of rules that guide our conduct while gambling. I have experienced myself and also seen others making the mistake that we all make certain rules on gambling before gambling but once we start to gamble we forget about these self made rules. I do not know the exact reason but maybe when we face loss in gambling we are so concerned that we forget about everything, all the rules and focus only on how to recover the losses. Sometimes we see offers from new and anonymous gambling sites and we try to jump in and deposit in those sites without doing the due diligence about the authenticity of the project and later cry when we are scammed. These anonymous gambling sites not only scam by disabling your withdraws but their games are also rigged and not probably fair making the gambler lose forcefully. |

I was expecting that you are emotional on personal matters when you place the losing but rather than being emotional by just missing to bet big on a winning bet. I think it’s not emotional but rather greedy because you crave for more big wins after winning huge multiplier but with small amount that result to small return.
Gambling while emotional is one thing I can’t comprehend for people that doing this(including me) because why we need to resort on gambling while our emotion is down. There’s a lot of other things that we can do to boost our emotion.
Emotional gambling or betting will normally lead to a loss and nothing else. I think gambling is a game of cool mindset and only those who have full control over their emotions are the real winners in gambling. If you are emotional, you will consistently make wrong decisions of making bets with higher bankroll or going after additional bets to chase the losses and so on. All these things will lead to gambling addiction and in the process, a gambler usually loses a lot of money. A gambler should focus on the individual bets and make the right bet based on his knowledge and searching for the matches and teams. Even after doing all the homework, if his bet fails, he should not regret and move on. A gambler should make up his mind that he will lose some bets too and be prepared for this loss. |

There are varying perspectives for people have regarding gambling and their reactions to losses. People who feel sad because of wagering more than they can afford to lose. This can lead to feelings of regret, frustration, and even guilt, particularly if the loss has significant financial implications.
Isn't it the fault of the gamblers that they put more money than they can even afford to lose? No one forces them to do so but it is one's greed that they think that if they put a lot of money in gambling, the turn around will be big but usually taking a lot of risk will just cause them to make even bigger losses. There are other people who focus more on the enjoyment of the experience rather than the financial outcome. For these people, the entertainment value of gambling may outweigh the negative emotions associated with losing money. They may view losses as a natural part of the gambling experience.
Those people are very less in number who gambles only for the sake of fun and do not care for the money. Really you need to have a lot of money with you in order to have this mindset. Usually, the gamblers belong to poor or mid class families, can never think of losing money only for fun.  Most people do not have extra money which they can afford to lose for having fun only. The social aspect of gambling, such as betting with friends or enjoying the excitement of watching sports events, can also influence the perception of losses. In these cases, the camaraderie and shared experience may mitigate the disappointment of losing money. Regardless of people attitudes toward winning or losing, the key to responsible gambling lies in maintaining control over their impulses and behaviors.
When you met another gambler who is your friend or relative and if he tells about his wins in gambling (and if you are a lose at gambling), then it can create a lot of depression and disappointment in yourself as you start to feel the most unlucky person on earth not having big wins in gambling. I do not think that the social aspect of a loser in gambling has anything positive for the gambler. |

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka first test match
The T20 series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and the ODI series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have warmed the audience and the fans just as every match in the Test series will warm everyone.
We had a wonderful T20 and ODI series between the two team but the question is whether there will be same entertainment in the test series too ? Do you want to see ODI or T20 or prefer to watch a 5-day-long test match  That is my question and according to me, we should have to watch all the formats if you have an interest in cricket but nowadays, people are going to be very busy as the communication system increased while in the past, everything was slow and people had unlimited time to free that's why on that time, mostly we have seen ODI or 5 days matches and many people were also going to see those matches while being at the Stadium with fun but now they are getting tired after sitting with 9 hours at Stadium. Once a side there is a T20 match where in the powerplay of first innings, we are excited. In the middle, the match going to be slow. In the last death overs, the matches start again at a fast pace where we have seen many boundaries and wickets. Test matches will lack this type of entertainment. |

I agree with you that gambling is a place to lose money. When you consider that gambling is a complex activity that involves risking money or something of value on an uncertain outcome in the hope of winning more money or material goods, it becomes obvious that winning is never a guarantee but losing is certain. In gambling, you tend to lose more than you win and this justifies your assertion that gambling is not a place to win money but rather a place to lose it.
We cannot say that gambling is a place where we only lose money. If it was like that, then for sure no one would have been playing gambling and it would never have been a big multi-billion dollar industry. Gambling is alive today because people are making money through it and some are even changing their lifestyle due to gambling but it does come at a cost. If you are unlucky and you do not have a plan, then for sure you will lose money instead of winning. The perception by some gamblers that gambling is primarily a means to make money is a common misconception. No doubt, some gamblers have won significant amounts through gambling, but the reality is that the majority of the gamblers are losing heavily as the day goes by because of the belief by these gamblers that they can beat the odds and win but it has been a different ball game.
Again as I said above the hope of winning is enough to keep the people motivated about this business and they will keep trying their luck regardless of the fact that it is a risky business too. Since the majority of the people just randomly bet and gamble, they lose and people claim that they lose only. However, if you are clever enough enough with risk management, you can easily make money through gambling instead of only losing it. |

Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka in the first and third ODI matches and it cannot be said that Bangladesh won easily there. If we talk about the third ODI match, Bangladesh was under a lot of pressure and at one time it seemed that Sri Lanka might go ahead in this match but in the end Bangladesh won due to Rishad Hossain's excellent batting. If Rishad Hossain could not have batted well in that match, Bangladesh might have been defeated in that match. Anyway we are satisfied with ODI series and between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh it was a battle and tough competition Bangladesh won the series. After the ODIs and T20 series, now wait for the Test series. I will definitely put Bangladesh ahead in the Test series against Sri Lanka at home.
After losing twenty series from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh played an outstanding cricket and won the ODI Series. Sri Lanka lost this third match because of the low score and didn't play a big partnership. But the fast bowling performance of the Bangladesh team was amazing all fast bowlers picked eight wickets and restricted Sri Lanka to a low score target. Now the most important test series is played between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and I hope Sri Lankacomese back in this series. Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh team matches are going to become a big match, which we can argue as a rivalry. When the Sri Lanka team won the series of T20, they came to celebrate where they were doing their hands into their watches to see Bangladesh. When in World Cup they did a time-out to that player and they took revenge then but when they won the ODI series then their captain took a broken helmet and celebrated with it. Now it meant that in 2023 World Cup Sri Lankan player was time-out due to his broken helmet and when he said I need another helmet so that crossed 180 seconds then Shakib told the umpire and he was a time-out.  |

Since Virat Kohli is widely known as the best performing Indian player. But the youngster is capable of leading the team with better performances than him, so Virat Kohli has been declared out of many matches. Although there is a possibility of participating in the 2024 match, the Indian Cricket Board is still under discussion on whether to make this decision. So well known as the top player because Virat Kohli has performed very well in the ICC World Cup.
We can never forget the valuable records of Virat Kohli and other players. Here are some of the unbeatable records in cricket by good players in all formats:- 1- Virat Kohli 50 centuries in ODI. 2- Virat Kohli is most out on ducks. 3- Dhoni's Review System. 4- Babar Azam's fastest 10,000 runs in T20. 5- Shahid Afridi's longest six is 153 meters. 6- Shoaib Akhtar's fastest ball is 161.3 km. 7- Naseem Shah's debt match in Test and T20. 8- Brain Lara 400 in an innings of Test. 9- Sachin Tendulkar had 34357 runs between 1989-2013. 10- Yuvraj Singh playing World Cup during Blood Cancer. These are all the unbeatable records in the history of cricket, these are the records that will never be broken by any player who can play much better but cannot break these records. |

New Zealand Women vs England Women 1st T-20
[...]
Today new competition has started which is among two strong country squads in international Cricket England Women squad and New Zealand women sqaud. Both squads are in good condition and their performances were also very impressive but victory goes to only one squad. After completing Women Premier League competition hope this competition will become more interesting like today match. Today match, England Women squad has begun this match first batting inning and their batting inning was quite impressive because they collected 160 scores target. New Zealand women won the toss and decided to bowl a bad decision. England women set a good total for New Zealand women they scored 160 runs in a loss of just 4 wickets in the first innings of the match. While chasing down a big target New Zealand women only managed to score 133 runs in a loss of 5 wickets and lost this match by 27 runs. The player of the match is Heather Knight for his outstanding battery performance scored 63 runs from just 39 balls. England women lead the 5 5-matches by 1-0. The day will be of today but the date will be different when we see another women's match series on next Wednesday. We will see the match of Sri Lankan women vs Bangladesh women and the first match of this series will be hosted by the stadium of Benoni where the pitch favor for both but at the same time, it is not too likely for batsmen and here bowlers will become the king. If there was something unique in the bowling department of the team then you have this pitch as it would be very good for that team and unique means some attentive and extraordinary spinner could become the king of that place. Seems like we will have a bowling department taking dominance over the batting department. |

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, 3rd ODI match, Sri Lanka scored 235 runs in the first innings. In today's match, the Sri Lankan team did not score many runs in comparison and as they did in the two matches
That's what exactly we want from Bangladesh team and they done it so well, first through thier extraordinary bowling they hold thier opponent even below 250 which give them extra piece of confidence while chasing, to be honest thier bowling lineup give tough time to sirilankan top order which were create trouble in previous matches and that why they unable to make huge difference while bat first. later one of thier guy scored a magnificent century and that give them abit moment of relaxation. But I think Bangladesh were in mode of thier previous matches and series defeat revenge and that successfully done through thier deduction of batting and bowling side and thus not only winning the last match but won the series by 2-1 margin. Hope they will show Thier Snake (Nagin) dance after winning moments. Bangladesh's team won the series of ODIs against Sri Lanka. First, they lost the T20 series with them but after that, they got a victory against them in ODIs. This ODI series was wonderful as both teams did face each other in an aggressive mood. Now, let's see if this aggression got to Test cricket or if it was just for the ODI and T20. Let's see what happened in the test because the ODI was won by Bangladesh and the Sri Lankan team won at T20s now the revenge time is on the test of which team will win this series, those will win more series. This match is neck to neck. |

I am organizing this contest 🔥 BC.GAME IPL 2024 PREDICTION CONTEST! UP TO $70, YOU COULD WIN FOR FREE!. Do register before the IPL 2024 begins. I am hoping for a good amount of active users on this board to participate in this contest. If everything goes well I would try to increase the prize amount for the the next contest. I need volunteers who can keep track of prediction posts, every volunteer will get paid in the next contest if I think he is good enough. Do remember it only happens, if this contest is a success. The volunteer won't get paid in this year's IPL and they will have to wait for the next season in order to get paid ? I think this contest will be a success and will get a lot of participation too.  RCB men have not been successful til now in winning any season of IPL whereas the women's team is now in the position to win the second season of WPL. I never expected MI batters to bat so badly in the semifinals. They only needed to chase a small total of 135 runs which they were but I do not understand why the batters were reluctant to hit boundaries. If Ellyse Perry had not scored 66 runs then RCB would be in a situation that would have been very bad. Thanks to her RCB was in a position to get 135 runs which helped them to reach the finals for the first time.
Two days before there was a match between Royal Banglore Challengers and RC women. It was the league of IPL but in women's and that tournament final was won by RCB which surprised everyone. In men's where Virat Kohli has been playing for the last 16 years and at this time he is the captain of RCB but they have not won any tournament for the last 16 years and the most strongest team is of RCB as Ab Develliers, Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, Muhammad Siraj, and Naveen Ul Haq. By the way, I am not sure that Naveen will play in this IPL for RCB but he has been played for them in the past. |

So far I havent seen any science proof that gambling raises addiction, but not human predisposition on being addicted on things. Replace addiction with something else, and those who were addicted to gambling will also be addicted to new thing. Give a person a way to get money quickly and easy, and he will get addicted to that method. If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?
This is human nature that if you do anything in excess and you are interested in it, it will become an addiction. Some addictions may be good but most of the addictions are bad and gambling addiction is a worse thing as a gambling addict will keep on spending and losing money in gambling and hence it will just create more and more problems for him. If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?
This is same that a person who is involved in drugs and we advise him to keep on taking drugs but secretly  Doing a bad thing or developing a habit that is not good for oneself will harm you no matter if you do it openly or hiddenly. A person gambling hiddenly still loses money and it won't remain a hidden fact that he lost in gambling. Eventually his family friends will come to know that he is a gambling addict. |

We are very excited about today's final match of Pakistan Super League. The Multan Sultan team reached the finals for the first time as the group champions of this year's Pakistan Super League.Multan Sultans were the only team to top the group stage. Another opponent of Multan Sultan team in the final is Islamabad United who defeated Babar Azam's team in the second eliminator match to reach the final. This match between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United will be held at Karachi National Stadium.Islamabad United's batting line-up may be very strong today especially as they have many good quality foreign batsmen in their team.
Although the PSL have finished but i would need to discuss about Baber Azam in this PSL. In cricket, we have seen many players who cannot win for their team as Babar Azam who is known as Bobzy the King but still waiting to win a trophy of any tournament to us of any tournament but still, he cannot do this. In 2021 World Cup Semi-Final, and 2022 World Cup final then Asia Cups and ODI World Cup but he cannot give us any trophy. He is not only a player Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and others have situations just like his. It is a common problem for big players. You have seen about Babar Azam and how he had bad luck now let's come to Virat Kohli as you can see last Champions Trophy where they had a lot of chances to win when they had Sikhardawan, Kohli, Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Bumrah and these are the greatest players which a side had but chance on that time all the player is good but they were young as Shadab Khan who played Under 19 on the same year. Then Babar Azam who debut before 2 years, Fakhar Zaman who was not played many matches and there was only Amir and that match won by Pakistan. Then Pakistan won against India in 2021 at World Cup of T20 for the first time. By the way, the Pakistan team has more wins than India in the match Pakistan vs India in the full matches of cricket if we combine all the formats, and the 2019 World Cup and from the last 16 years, he cannot give any trophy to RCB. |

Although I was against Islamabad United in today's match, but I wish and congratulate Islamabad United for winning today's match. The 2024 season of Pakistan Super League ended with today's match and Islamabad United became the champion of Pakistan Super League for the third time by defeating Multan Sultan in today's match in a very competitive environment.
I have enjoyed every match of Pakistan Super League immensely because I really liked the scene of United Islamabad showing gratitude to Almighty Allah at the end of this match. Also I love every Pakistani player so much for thanking Allah Taala.
Yesterday after winning the trophy by Islamabad then few minutes they took the round of ground as all teams did after winning a valuable trophy and as usual they were doing this but when they took the round so they showed the flag of Palestine and said that to do charity for them for this war and not a person did even Alex Hales and other players who came from the outside country was showing the flag of Palestine. Anyway, at yesterday's match, the ground was full of people and in the previous matches, no one came to the match but in the final everyone came to watch the match.  |

The last match of PSL will be played today between Ny favorite team Multan Sultan and quality team Islamabad United. I will try to update the spreadsheet from today and maybe complete in 2-3 says. Please be patient there and wait for winner to be disclose soon.
I will wait for the spreadsheet and i hope i will be the winner this time  Fingers crossed I only failed here that the Multan Sultan team occupied the first place in the points table for the entire season. But in the final match, the performance was so bad that Islamabad United was ready to score only 159 runs. Only Osman Khan performed well but other batsmen did not perform well, this is the failure of Multan Sultan Sultan team. But Islamabad United got off to a good start but in the end they put in a good batting performance, especially Naseem Sha who made the only change in the game which was more than enough to take the team to the top.
In this PSL, the team with the name of Multan Sultan played very well but winning the trophy wasn't in their luck. Hope next time they will win because they had a lot of time and hard luck now they should have to win as after 2021, they are losing the tournaments back to back. 2022 Final, 2023 Final, and yesterday we saw 2024 final. If this is not hard luck, what is the name of this? From the day Rizwan joined to them they got a year which was very good for them and that was the year of 2021, where they had Imran Tahir, Rizwan and other old stars or names of cricket. |

England women ended up scoring 160 runs. The England Women's captain's excellent performance made the score big. England women captain Heather Knight batted very well she scored 63 runs off 39 balls with a strike rate of 160 plus. Anyway, New Zealand women came down to bat with the aim of winning and scored 133 runs by taking 5 wickets in 20 overs. New Zealand women had enough wickets but the batsmen could not bat with a high strike rate. New Zealand women's captain Suzie Bates batted a little better, she scored 65 off 51 balls, she should have done better. Maddy Green and Georgia Plimmer did not bat well, their strike rate was below 100. England women won the first match and lead by 1-0, England women will win the series if they win 2 matches out of 4 matches.
Today the England team was doing batting first and in the starting, their bowlers played very well and we thought that if New Zealand played like this then they would take the match but that performance was just for openers as Tammy Beaumont was out on 14 then Sophia Dunkley also out on not too much score but at the same time she played average because she was not stood on the batting crease for a long time After these two batsmen Maia Bouchier and Heather Knight played a wonderful partnership but Heather Knight could not finish the innings and after her dismissal, Danielle Gibson played who played just 1 ball and also made a run but if they had more overs she would have played for long then there was a chance to play her good for the team. Anyway, it was England who won this match in the end and it was an easy victory as they won by 27 runs. |

I Supported Multan Sultans in This final but they lost the match. Congratulations Islamabad United becoming champions of 2024 and 3rd time is the history of the Pakistan Super League. Its thrilling to watch in last over Islamabad United needed 8 runs to win the match and Islamabad United won it from last ball of the match. This win credits goes to Imad wasim for his outstanding all round performance in batting and bowling win the Final for his team. Multan Sultans played well throughout the series but they lost three consecutive finals in PSL huge setbacks for his team but I hope they will win the Next year.
The season of PSL 9 has been finished and also the last time Islamabad United took the trophy in 2018. The last time, they got the trophy in 2018 now they have become a team who have more trophies from all in PSL history, They were like this from the start because the first season was also won by them and then after losing a season they won a season of 2018 then in 2022 Lahore Qalandar came into the competition with them but this season Islamabad Untied again won and again became a team who has more trophies than all. Multan again lost the final. hard luck for them  https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/psl-2023-24-babar-imad-and-naseem-headline-star-studded-team-of-the-tournament-1425415 |

England woman win the match very good preformnce. I am very happy England woman prefromance . Because she gave a very good run score, a target of 150 plus in T20 is a very big target for women.
New Zealand woman only made 133 run , New Zealand women had a tough time facing the England team as the England team's target was very tough and the New Zealand women lost under pressure.
But New Zealand tried their best to winning this match .
Today was not a good day for the New Zealand women's team as they lost today's match against England at Dunedin in their home but it doesn't mean that now they cannot come back for this series, still 4 T20Is are left. These are T20s that will be played in different states because of different pitches in every match and this thing will provide an advantage because New Zealand mostly hosts the series of Pakistan and sometimes Australia but not more series hosted by New Zealand or England. The current team of England that has been selected to play has not much experience in New Zealand. I think it is the main chance that has still a chance for them to win the series. |

Afghanistan vs Ireland, 3rd T20I is going on. And is about to lose the match. They need Ireland need 63 runs in 23 balls where they are standing at 93-8 position. Today Afghanistan played well and made good amount of runs which is 155 runs where Ibrahim Zadran made 72 runs from 51balls. Total runs wasn't that much higher to make but today Ireland facing touble cause they lost so many wickets in earlier. Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector made some runs but don't think they could win today
Ireland lost the third and the final T20 match at Sharjah. There were some expectations that perhaps the Ireland team may win the match and the series but this did not happen. Ireland team failed the expectation, and they faced a very bad defeat against the Afghanistan team. Afghanistan team made 155 runs and it was a reasonable target. Ibrahim Zadran who was the match of the match also, make 72 runs in 51 balls and change the game in the favour of his team. In the bowling department Azmatullah Omarzai and Naveen-ul-Haq took 4 and 3 wickets each and made sure their team win the series. Ireland team failed to have a good batting start and they lost their first three batsmen including Andy Balbirnie , Paul Stirling and Lorcan Tucker only at 15 runs. None of the batsmen could stay on the wicket for long and all the Ireland team were out at less than 100 runs. |

How come it became a Day match, I thought they had their timing set for the series decider.
Looks like a bad scheduling to me. You got your wish of no dead rubber match but it's a working day and that too in the morning. Who will fill the stand and many people not even watch live on telly. This should've been fixed to the weekend, that's how you generate some sort of revenue.
It looks very odd to have an ODI in day light. 2nd ODI was played on 15 March and 3rd ODI should be on 17 March or Sunday but strangely they didn't schedule the match on Sunday. Things looking not much good for Sri Lanka at the moment, they have lost 7 batsmen and score is 172 in 40 overs. Score predictor telling that Sri Lanka will give a target of 215 and that wont be difficult to chase. Both matches in this series are won by side batting second. After seeing the Bangladesh team struggle, I remembered the match that was cannot forget easily. In 2017, when the Pakistan and England match was playing, it was not a normal match. That was the match of the 2017 Champions Trophy that decided who would play the Semi-Final, and on that time the Pakistan team came into a very dangerous zone where they needed 100 plus runs and Sarfraz was finding a partner as today Tanzid Hasan finding but on that time, Amir came and what a partnership was made which allow Pakistan to play semi final but in the Semi final Pakistan and England again met where Aamir was not available to play due to injury and instead of him they selected Rumman Raees. |

The final of PSL 2024 will be played tonight between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans. It would be slightly better if final is scheduled on Sunday. Multan Sultans are favorite to win PSL 2024 because of there extraordinary performance in group stages. Islamabad united have momentum with them as they have won all of there last four games while Sultans have lost 2 of there last four games. Imad Wasim is in great form and was man of the match in last two games because of his batting and bowling.
Today is the match of Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans and here I would like to talk about history. First of all, you have seen the photo that I have given below. In this you can easily see what I am trying to say, all the captains who lost the matches stand on a side while the captains who won the matches stand on a side in the photoshoot   
Now, let's hope it will work again and for the first time in this PSL. Let's see what happens today at Karachi. Just hope that a huge crowd will come to the Stadium to watch the final match of PSL 9. |
