I think Pakistani player suit sirilankan condition and that why they perform significantly without any hesitation, just like previous match again Sirilankan big names were in trouble against the majestic Bowling lineup and for that reason none of them able to scored significant runs rather than de.silva
Sirilankan pitches alway support bowler and due to that reason Pakistani pacer and spinners has edge which really help them to dominate thier opponent, firstly they get the entire team before 200 and now they calmly enjoying small target chase. Hope they will take a lead of more than 250 before losing all of his wickets..

Day 1 completely belongs to Pakistan. Srilanka were bowled out for 166 due to brilliant spell by Abrar and Naseem Shah. Pakistan 21 runs behind Srilanka first innings total and seems like they will easily take lead of 200 runs. It's now very difficult for Srilanka to get back into the game as they were bowled out cheaply in first innings. Dhananjaya de Silva was the highest run scorer for Srilanka with 57 runs.

The way this Colombo test has started , I have no doubt that Pakistan can easily win this test match. They are in a position to take a lead of 200+ runs and even a 150 runs lead will be enough for them to not let Srilanka recover back in this test match.

Just to recall, Pakistan has already won the first test match and this is a series of 2 test matches.
So it is highly likely that Pakistan will win this series and rightly so as they are no doubt a better team than the Srilankans.
By the end of day 1 Pakistan team have scored 145/2 with Shafique and Babar Azam on the crease. Sri Lanka have fallen for just 166 runs as the spin and fast bowlers were in good form to take wickets. Particularly Abrar Ahmed and Young Naseem Shah made it their day. As said the probability of Pakistan winning the match si high. Already the first match is being won by them makes it a series win for them.

Sri Lanka need some early wickets and the same won't happen easily. Pakistan is playing in a much cool manner and the bowling line-up of Sri Lanka is not that strong to break partnerships.

Being a bitcoiner we need to share the good word about bitcoin to others. Further it is their mind, how to take it. Some find it positive whereas majority find it hard to believe and understand at the beginning. Only through their self interest it is possible to know well about bitcoin. All of the sudden none will embrace bitcoin, only after experiencing the goodness out of bitcoin one will embrace it.

People have difference of thoughts as well as different expectations from bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Based on the fulfilment one have achieved through it will make a person find the good in it. We should have better learning about bitcoin, so that we can convey things in a better way than just giving hints.
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 23, 2023, 11:55:07 PM
This is common thing with gambling. When you gamble for money, automatically greed and the running behind the lose accompanies you. Losing out of greed happens when you're making good win, and the next thing when we go behind the loss to be recovered. This is really tough and could make our entire earnings washed off. So, we should spend what is available or allocate and get into gambling, if not this is going to be a big problem. Here OP have been more responsible as his spending is very small and the same doesn't hurt him.
544  Economy / Economics / Re: How Long in Years Should I Wait Before I Close Down an Unprofitable Business on: July 23, 2023, 11:50:37 PM
3 years?, is an ample amount of time for an unprofitable business. Being very optimistic, I would bet on two years of extension at most, if you can dedicate more time and money to a "business" after that, in effect, it is nothing more than just a hobby, because it is not productive and every time it only depletes more resources that probably will not have an effective return and also cannot be used later in more fruitful projects, extending the time of something due to lack of resignation is a fact that is highly detrimental in the long term, it is better to know when to say "no longer" to something that no longer has a case... Of course, there are a wide variety of variables to consider, but whenever the results of a venture are negative, in my opinion after one year and a maximum of two, it is the best option to opt for possible new scenarios.
Atleast 3 years time, if one I able to continue it for another two more years it'll be better. Any business needs atleast three years time to make it profitable. When one finds it loss, he should have the alternate plan to move on to something else keeping the first business active. Because to make it established is not an easy thing. Everything doesn't start with profit, we need to add value to the product in an unique way. Maybe while giving regular try something will be catchy and reach the people in a better way and create good business.

India should've added little more runs. The team have declared the innings at 181/2 and this have given a target of 365 runs for West Indies to win the match. They have started the second innings and reached 76/2 by the end of day 4 of the match. More 289 runs to be scored and the same makes it tough for West Indies based on the first innings performance. However they have the ability and if West Indies play real test cricket then it would be a close fight.

What is there to make a compatitive move based on the gender. There is nothing as this field is for the men and that is for Women. In simple men are much used to technology related things from the beginning days. Same time Women grew up looking upon the fashion industry and brands that make big money out of beauty products. This is why we were able to see massive difference in participation of Women into cryptocurrencies much lower compared to the men. Over time this will change and specifically women entrepreneurs have been increasing as they don't like to work under someone.
547  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Appeal to the Average Joe and Jane Bitcoin Investors: Buy Bitcoin Now! on: July 23, 2023, 11:10:55 PM
Most of the time people get into bitcoin and they make an exit at the earliest. This is all because of the improper understanding and investing into it looking for big money. When this turns to be a disappointment, some just leave it for the next set of growth. People who entered the market unknowingly will just endup losing and leave the market. These people who doesn't have the understanding and losing will then spread negativity about bitcoin which needs to be avoided.

Lucky Australia team, fourth day of the match ended with the play taking place for the last session. This is a big disappointment as England weren't able to take wickets. If they had taken few wickets it could've been a happy moment for them. In these kind of match situation surely rescheduling is a must. The match which is supposed to be an easy win gonna end in a draw will surely make cricket followers lose interest on watching test matches. If this match gets the result in favour of England, the final test match will be very interesting and both the teams will try to win the match which will be the deciding match of the Ashes Series.
The 4th Test is very lucky for Australia as the fourth day's play is suspended for the entire session due to rain and the weather forecast for the 5th day is unlikely to start before lunch. If this continues then there is no chance of starting the game today and it can be said that the game will be a draw due to rain in Australia. On the other hand, if the game starts then the rest of Australia's batsmen have to get out very early for England to win and if Australia gives a run lead then England has to target that run and fill the target by batting in T20 style.
Final day's first session is already over and it is lunch. In the remaining two sessions the rain needs to stop, even in that situation England needs to take all the wickets. There is no signs of rain getting stopped. The covers were taken off and once again the rain is continuing steadily. The ground is covered. This means the bad luck of England continues.
549  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think selling your property is better than taking loan? on: July 22, 2023, 10:41:46 PM
My choice will be to go for a loan. When it comes to property, it won't decrease in value over time. Over time the value of the property will grow high based on the location. Next thing it is possible to keep the property as collateral and get loan which needs to be paid regularly. When you have got a job that pay regularly, it'll be easy to settle loan within specific time period. Same time it is also possible to make some earning from the property and regularly pay the loan from the money earned. So, my choice will be a loan and not selling property.

As long as they know the consequences and are willing to take the risks, there are no problems with that. In fact, this is an additional investment for you that you can rely on and earn huge profits during bullrun. It is like opening another box of opportunity and it was not regretting because we believe that Bitcoin will continue to grow. Many people had changed because of this kind of investment and if it becomes successful, then this could also change your life OP and everyone who is involved in the cooperative. Risk takers gain more, that was the reality.
Farmers are the backbone in each and every country's economy. The hard working group getting into bitcoin and investing the profit into agriculture is really an appreciable thing. Apart from the profit and other things, the farmers coming forward to invest into bitcoin is really great. Even the technically knowledged persons doesn't have good knowledge about bitcoin, here the farmers into bitcoin is big thing. Also from the OP's statment it is clear that the farmers were well aware about the risks associated with it.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: July 22, 2023, 10:29:05 PM
As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.
The biggest mistake I ever made was probably starting to gamble. Had I stayed away from gambling I'd have a lot more money in my pocket than I do now. I think winning is possible, but winning big is rare so it's good policy to look at gambling as just fun.
Agreed, myself too have the same thought. Sometimes this used to hinder the mind and makes me down. Anyhow I've come into it, and the worst thing is moving from sports betting into casino. Atleast I could've limited myself within sports betting, if so te loss could've been low compared to what I've lost through casino games.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 22, 2023, 10:25:20 PM
Being lucky can't be connected with the persons who are hopeful. We don't know in what way a person gets lucky. In my country there is a person who have been working as a lottery ticket seller for years and he used to spend have few tickets regularly and he have been saving those tickets in a bag. During his 70+ years he won the jackpot and it happened as he kept the unsold tickets for himself. So, whether they get disappointed on spending for long time or not is not at all a matter for the regular buyers who keep moving with the hope of winning. Further while calculating the amount he had spend on buying tickets based on his tickets saved on big bags it was higher than what he had won.
553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 22, 2023, 10:13:47 PM
I'm not sure on what percentage of rich, poor and the middle class is spending on gambling. From my personal experiences I used to spend whenever there is some need of money. Later I used to feel bad for what I've did. I used to wager and try to multiply the wallet balance, so that I can have the capital in the wallet and use the winning. In reality this is completely wrong and end up losing everything. This mindset can be seen mostly with the people in need and not with the rich ones who's choice of gambling is for fun and excitement.
554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 22, 2023, 10:09:00 PM
Would be disappointing if the 4th test ends as a draw as it means AUS would retain the Ashes regardless of what happens in the 5th test. I don’t think even AUS would like to be victorious thanks to the weather.

As it stands ENG need 6 wickets. Hopefully they get at least the full day tomorrow to do that. Would be good to get a few overs today if weather permits but it’s not looking good at the moment.

Australia is still trailing by 61. They have five wickets in hand. Surviving the entirety of the fifth day seems to be a daunting task for them. This is still looking like very much winnable from England. Actually, this is easier to win for England. I have no idea how Australia is going to actually survive the day.

I also do not think that Australia actually have any good alternative other than playing out the fifth day. Because if Australia wants to get a good score to give a good target to England, you can actually be a problem for them. Because Australia might actually lose all the 5 wickets wanting to do that.

But the problem is if Australia drives to just hold back and play out the whole day. They might actually lose the five wickets that they have left anyway. So will it be a good idea to go for some good score? Australia has a decision to make.
No doubt Australia did a good defensive batting today but it was still just rain which saved Aussies today. problem now for England is that you need quick wickets in the first two sessions, because even if I say England bats for last session target they would want in front of them shouldn't be more than 150 because anything above that would be difficult to chase under pressure. But you have to say it was mostly Rain which saved the Aussies today from a crushing defeat on Day 4.
Just 100 runs scored in the day. If the match have started on-time without rain interruption surely England could've got two more wickets. Tomorrow it is a pressure situation for England to take wickets at the earliest and go for the scoring of runs. Labuschagne is really awesome that he performs well and saved Australia team at many similar situations. The team had succeeded with the defensive technique and the weather too had supported them.
555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino on a cruise ship? on: July 22, 2023, 12:00:03 AM
I guess people with money and time to enjoy these amenities in the cruise ships will be the only ones playing on that part of the trip. Most people will surely enjoy the view, take pictures, or experience other places instead of playing. Well, some may even try it out just for the hell of it, but you are in a cruise ship for a reason, and while it's attractive to play while traveling, that's not really the main reason why a lot of people paid extra big to be in one.

A day on a cruise ship can be divided into two parts: first part - you rest at the pool or take sun bath, or get off the sure and visit new city; second part is the evening, when you usually have option to either go watch show in cruise theatre (that is located strategically close to casino), go to bars and restaurants, or chill in your cabin. On the ending part of the day, there arent huge variety of entertainment on the ship. Usually, no matter what kind of person you are (interested in gambling, likes to travel, calm guy that enjoys reading), during the cruise, at the evening it is high chance that you will pass by the casino, and high chance that you will play slots few times.

that's more then likely to happen as playing slots, you can play even without prior experience. so if you want to have a taste of casino, this is one of the games that you can easily play with. that is true, if you happen to pass by a casino, high chance that you will sit and try your luck with those slot machines.  Grin some are just trying it out for experience, so there's no surprise if these tourists are flocking inside the casino for the first time.
The casinos in Cruise is not a big thing. In many countries to enjoy or to experience the casino people are supposed to travel in the cruise. This gives different experience and for people who have good backing can sit and enjoy the experience. There are cruise ships dedicated for casinos which could drain your pocket, better is to prefer cruise that have got variety of entertainment.
556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: July 21, 2023, 11:58:22 PM
There are many gamblers that can gamble just to have some fun and make money in the process and there are some that focus on gambling only to make money so I would like to ask such people a question.

would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?
I will like future trading than gambling though these two things look similar, gambling can crumble you and likewise trading within a second you are empty. But if you are good in trading there is no way that you be empty a day, definitely you must make profit a day but gambling is not like that, if your luck is bad in that day then yours is gone. Upon all these I still like trading to gambling. Gambling is for fun but the money you loss would definitely pain you. So the fun comes with pain as well.

if you happen to learn the strategic moves in futures trading, you will go home as a winner. and you can learn such tactics thru experience and reading as much info for the project. whereas, in gambling, even if you study hard the game esp the luck-based games, you will still go nowhere as it is based on luck.
Agreed on the difference between futures trading and gambling. Learning will increase the chance of winning whereas the luck decides with gambling. Futures trading can be made successful through our regular market observation and through the prediction in connection to the growth. With futures trading one could loss, but the same won't completely empty the wallet. With gambling if we're unlucky we will go emptied.
557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon musk is for crypto or just for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX? on: July 21, 2023, 11:48:25 PM
Very interesting choice so if it is the choice to go with there you can assume his other companies are next.
So we can see twitter accepting it as a source of payment soon as well.
Maybe I'm missing something, I mean, for sure I'm missing something because I keep not understanding why Musk is accepting Dogecoin over bitcoin. Dogecoin is nice if you want to tip someone online, but accepting it as a payment for something very expensive like a car? Unless the plan is to hype it up, as usual, and then sell everything. Same old story but people keep following any weird message from this guy...
Personally, I thought the exact opposite, because Elon Musk had in a previous period sold all his bitcoin savings to complete the Twitter purchase deal, and it would be better for him to continue accepting bitcoin payments for the sale of Tesla cars.
I think there are two possible explanations for this action:
- Elon Musk still owns a significant amount of Dodge Coin and seeks to raise its price as much as possible before selling it. This may be a result of the period when he began posting tweets supporting Dodge, only to find himself involved in a large amount of money after its price fell.
- Maintaining his supportive position for Dodge Coin so as not to appear manipulative.
He's an unpredictable person. Now the competence from threads would've been a major blow, soon we can see him on the cryptocurrency market. Initially he came for his products and not for bitcoin. Once again this can happen during these days. In between he supported dogecoin and manipulated the growth. Thats a big favour from him to the dogecoin holders.

It is good to go with my father's advice. Initially I'll try to convince him and continue my gambling activity. When I find this isn't gonna work I'll go upon his wish. I don't think such situation won't exist in reality. Most of the threads relative to gambling were just assumptions. These days beyond 18 no parents involve into their children's life. Just the advice is given to lead life and the rest is their choice. Maybe if the children were using their parents money then they're supposed to give statement on it.
559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 20, 2023, 11:29:52 PM
After the first session, Windies kept things tight nicely, possibly their first 14 tight overs in this series. They picked up 3 quick wickets and now they have some chance to pick up a couple more too.
Kohli and Rahane would make perfect prize wickets in this situation. Personally, i am waiting for Chadwin. Madlad becomes a beast when he bats against the Windies, hope he gets a promotion although chances are slim because of Ishan.

India lost their fourth wicket for 182 runs. After losing the first wicket for 139 runs, India lost 4 valuable wickets to collect only 43 runs. It was not expected that India's top order and middle order would play so badly after the two openers got off to such a good start. Shubman Gill and Rahane scored 10 and 8 runs respectively. Kohli remains unbeaten on 18 off 44 balls. There are experienced batsmen like Kohli, Jadeja, Ishan Kishan and Aswin. So India still has scope to collect. Let's see how much India can collect in the first innings. But collecting less than 300 they will face a big problem.
India is at good position. I don't expect India to perform big against these teams. In the first match it was a very big win. In this match West Indies should've corrected themselves and well prepared. Everyone have scored good and expected a century from Jaiswal, and this time it didn't happened. Lets see how the match gets started in the third day.

Meanwhile in the fourth Ashes Cricket test match, England is at the better position by the end of day 2 with the lead of 67 runs and 6 wickets in hand. Opener Crawley have scored 189 runs from 182 balls which is really impressive. Stokes and Brook on the crease can expect another 100-150 runs for sure.

Thats completely wrong perspective on gambling. Very few get lucky whereas the majority end up losing their entire funds. Gambling isn't the right place where we should carry the never give up mentality. A statements is misleading when the outcome of the statement doesn't suits with the majority. If I'm not wrong those people who describe those terms to be successful were the people appointed to promote gambling in those region. If not, they're people who are gamblers who want to make others experience what they've experienced.
