541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: January 10, 2024, 06:29:35 AM
First of all, of what use is gambling when you are losing?
To me it doesn't make any sense to gamble knowing that you gonna lose, do you expect any fun when you lose money, to me it's better not to gamble at all than to gamble and lose, it doesn't make any sense, even though we know that gambling is for entertainment,  we still need the winnings to keep our motivation high at some point and for that we have to take a close look at our winning ratio, to know when we are making the loses to adjust yourself or to implement a new strategy.
It's really hard to believe that someone thinks gambling is fun when they lose. When a gambler bets his hard-earned money to win, how can it be fun if they lose again? Gambling is considered to be fun even if it is lost but those bets do not risk losing money. Again we know that bets that do not change money between winning and losing cannot be considered real gambling bets. People who think of gambling losses as fun must have a different perspective on gambling but that is not recognizable by the most gamblers. A person rich or poor who takes up gambling must take it seriously because it is concerned with the money.

During the first two matches, it was the Indian seamers (especially the teenager Titas Sadhu) who performed well in the bowling department. But for the third match, the track at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy was tailor made to suit the spinners. However Indian spinners failed to perform well. And the seamers couldn't do well in unfriendly conditions. Australians took advantage of this on the other hand, with Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Wareham destroying the Indian upper and middle order batting lineup.
I  also think the Indian spinners did not do well in the third match. The pitch was good for spinners the Indian spinners didn't use it well and didn't perform as expected. On the other hand the Australian bowlers, like Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Wareham did their job really well in the difficult conditions and made a lot of trouble for the Indian batsmen. It is clear that the Indian team needs to improve their bowling strategies and ability to adjust to different conditions if they want to compete well against strong teams like Australia.
The condition of India women's bowlers is not promising. No bowler is successful because they get a few wickets in one match but return empty-handed in another. Among the bowlers, only Deepti Sharma  perform consistently. In the first match of this series, Titas Sadhu gave a hope she picked up 4 wickets alone but her consistency was lacking. She took no wickets in the 2nd and 3rd matches of the series. And if the bowlers do not perform well against the strong team then pressure cannot be applied against that team due to which Australia won two matches of the series without any pressure.
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss on: January 08, 2024, 06:12:30 AM
No one enjoys losing in gambling.Losing brings our hopes down, it ushers in emotional pain and grumpiness whereas, winning elevates our mood, bringing happiness and excitement. There are games where I have won and after withdrawing my winnings, I am so happy that I give gifted some of it to people around me. This doesn't last for long once the it is out of my hand and minds. I am curious, how long does this joy last after a win or a loss—does it linger until your next bet, lasting the whole day, just 20 minutes, or perhaps 2 hours?

It is natural to feel happy when you win. Any gambler gets excited when he wins a bet. But of course, if the stakes are significant, that pleasure increases. There is no change in gamblers even if they win low stake bets. But in most cases the tendency to gamble on winning increases as well as the mind is buoyant. I am elated after such a win. But that doesn't last long because when I place the next bet I forget my previous win because my next bet makes me excited. If we win, there is great joy and if we lose, we forget the previous victory. This is how my gambling continues and since it is an ongoing process I think the same thing happens to most gamblers.
544  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you rather start/grow a business from scratch or buy an existing business? on: January 08, 2024, 05:36:42 AM
I don't really have much to say as regards to this post. It is just an avenue to hear your thoughts on which is better to invest both time, energy and resources in, mostly for a season as this, where we are experiencing economic uncertainty and ill-timed government banking policies.

So, given that the resources are available or not and you are presented with the opportunity to start/grow or buy an existing business just like Elon Musk, which option is more preferential and benefitial to you?

A business that can be run under your own control from the start is definitely a good initiative as a businessman. However, many may find it easy to build a new business from an existing business, but in reality it will be very difficult if you do not have the proper skills to manage that business. Because when you take the existing business for management, there will be some changes and if you cannot take proper decisions and necessary measures about that business then you will have to suffer in that business. We have seen Traitor change ownership where Elon Musk is the wisest and one of the richest men in the world. After he purchased Twitter, some of his new policies seemed to be detrimental to Twitter, but he has gradually tried to resolve the situation amicably. As he has excellent knowledge about IT. So he will not suffer. But anyone else could have failed to sustain its popularity in this concern.

India W Vs Australia W (2nd T20)
India Women's team and Australia Women's team will meet today in the second T20 of the three-match series. India Women's team failed to win the ODI but managed to win the first T20 of the series. In the first T20, India Women 9 wickets and with Shafali Verma and Smiriti Mandhana putting on a 137-run stand to clinch the win with ease. India Women's team will look to secure their series win today. It seems that the toss is very important in today's match, as playing at the same venue, as in the previous match, Any team can win the toss and decide to bowl. Australia women team is very strong, they have very good batsmen and bowlers in their team. Today will be a tough contest between the two teams, I think Australia will come back in today's match.
Australian Women International T20 cricket team played very well in today's match.  Kim Garth played very well in today's match and she was awarded as player of the match and she took 2 wickets by giving 27 runs in 4 overs.That match was low score match and Indian Women International T20 cricket team made 130 runs with fall of 8 wickets. Australian Women International T20 cricket team chased the target in 19 overs. Ellyse perry played very well and she made 34 runs in just 21 balls and she remained not out at the end of match.
If there is a low score in the match, there is less pressure on the batsmen of the opposite team, so they can bat without pressure. If India could have given a target of more than 160, it would have been difficult for Australia's batsmen to win the match even to some extent. They are the best team in the T20 format and it is a big challenge for any team to win against them. Australia women's team certainly performed well. For India Women's team to clinch the series final win at their home venue, their batsmen as well as the bowlers will have to make a big impact otherwise Australia will not get a convincing win.

Im looking for traders who will trade with my capital and instructions.
You will be using my funds and trade according with my method.

Anyone interested ? And you will be paying my share every week to me or 2 weekly how i want.
You need to have some experince Im not gona teach you basics so i hope to find some good partners.
I think that would be a suicidal decision. Because if you find someone like that you are sure to lose your money. Nowadays it is hard to trust anyone who will take your money and return it. Moreover, you need your own skills to do trading. Success in trading is not possible depending on others. Increase focus on how to trade yourself by learning. Maybe by now you can get many PMs who are interested. I would say ignore all those PMs and qualify yourself. If you have money, I would say just buy bitcoin and hold it surely it will give you more profit. Learn to trade by yourself and ensure the safety of your money rather than trading by lending money to others.

We don't know when the Bitcoin price will rise but we can guess that we will see the high value of Bitcoin soon. Many individual and institutional investors are already preparing for Halving. The potential halving is only days away so there is still few times to collect bitcoins. Who have the ability must try to learn how they can grow their Bitcoin portfolio from this position. Looking at the trend of the past halvings, we can assume that this year we will see the highest price of Bitcoin. After 2012, 2016 and 2020, Bitcoin will reach its highest level this year. Good days are coming for those who believe in Bitcoin.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 07, 2024, 05:34:08 PM
The match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe has been postponed due to rain. Although the Sri Lankan team had a fall of wickets in the first innings, the Zimbabwean team managed to collect only 12 runs in the first innings with the fall of 2 wickets in 4 overs. Zimbabwe's poor performance in the first ODI, even if the match had followed the DLS system, Sri Lanka would have won. The run rate of the Sri Lankan team was more so the Sri Lankan team would have been ahead in any direction.
The match didn't postponed the match is finished with no results. And this match will not be played again. They will continue the series with second match. And everyone know that Srilanka is much stronger than Zimbabwe. By the way this is only practice matches otherwise I thinking these two teams have no competition. I am little bit sure that Srilanka will with the both series.

Srilanka is unpredictable team like Pakistan. Sometimes you will think that they will beat top team like India and Australia but sometimes you will be doubtful weather they win against Netherland. Srilanka World cup performance was so bad. Low rank team than SL like Afghanistan and Bangladesh defeated SL in World cup. Now once again yesterday match proved that SL retrained their form but it is not over yet and they have to show performance like yesterday through out the series.
I think earlier in cricket it was seen that weak teams won't win easily against any strong team but now if you look there are good teams they lose a match to a very weak team in a series. And according to the performance of that match we cannot guess which team is better or which team is weaker. Although the situation is almost the same in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, they suddenly perform so well against any big team that they lose even against a small team. Zimbabwe team is not in the same position as before so they are not expected to win this series from Sri Lanka but that is not surprising because we know that Sri Lanka is an unpredictable team.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 07, 2024, 05:24:28 PM
Australia has lost two quick wickets and now they are on backfoot. The openers, Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney got out in quick succession, with both of them getting out to the bowling of Deepti Sharma. But the advantage for Australia is that they have a very experienced middle order. Tahlia McGrath and Ellyse Perry are at the crease now, and Ashleigh Gardner, Phoebe Litchfield and Grace Harris are yet to come. And for India, their chances will depend on how well the bowlers like Shreyanka Patil and Amanjot Kaur can backup Deepti Sharma.
Finally Australian took his previous match defeat revenge too soon. Anyway I was expecting indian team opener to give a decent Start, set a momentum which will be Carrey on by rest of batter in order to score 160+ target for making his victory position more stronger but unfortunately after a moment later after start they lose both of his important opener batter wickets. No doubt some talented middle order put them back in game but unfortunate to score higher. While defending they almost took dominance over Australian at middle over but unable to continue longer and some monster middle order batter took important game away from them and thus Australian won the match and level the series with 1-1. Hope Indian team will won upcoming match In order to safe himself from another series defeat

Predicting wins in T20 matches has obviously become very difficult. India performed so well in the first match that it will be difficult for Australia to beat them. But that continuity is not appeared in this match. In the first match they scored 145 runs for just 1 wicket but today all together could not score 140 runs. I feel that India women's top order batsmen play well. If Australia can quickly break down their top order then they are almost certain to win the match. Now the series is equal, it is impossible to say who will win. India women's team is expected to win the T20I series as Australia has taken the ODI series.

Today's performance of  Sri Lankan team is best and Sri Lanka team has capacity to win match against any big team. But Zimbabwe luck is good today. Now , Umpires didn't decide that match will continue or draw the match. But I am supporting Sri Lankan team , they are hard working people. Asalanka century is brilliant and he is excellent player and he deserves man of the match but in this situation, it is not possible. Mendis also played very well and he made 46 crucial runs for his country.From Zimbabwe bowling side ,only one bowler bowled very well,who was  Ngarave who took 2 wickets by giving 39 runs in 6 .4 overs.
Sri Lanka team performance is admirable. They made 273 runs in 50 overs. And especially I appreciate the performance of Charith Asalanka who made 101 runs on 95 balls and he hit 9 boundaries. 5 fours and 4 sixes. Except him there is no player who made 50 runs.
And Zimbabwe performance was really bad. They lost 2 wickets on 12 runs.
But this match was stopped due to rain and now has finished with no result because rain didn't stop.
Sri Lanka set a good target against Zimbabwe. I thought they might be restricted to 250 runs but they didn't. in the match if Asalanka not lost his wicket by run out, the total score would have been around 300. By his good contribution Sri Lanka were able to target such a big score today. But rain brought good news for the Zimbabwean team otherwise it would have been difficult for them to win this match. They survived a certain defeat. As they lost two wickets after batting just 4 overs, their journey would not have been too long. The next two matches are now crucial for both the teams. There are two matches to be won otherwise there will be nothing but sharing of points through a draw.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: January 06, 2024, 06:17:42 PM

Gambling has to remain as a secondary hobby activity in someone's schedules. It can't be the priority in anyways. The priority has to be the person's mental and physical health, integrity plus welfare in first place, then in second place the marriage and its commitments, only after hobbies, where gambling is included, take place. When the individual puts gambling above everything, of course there will be negative consequences for him/her, especially the total discontent of his/her partner and children.
First of all, everything should be open, no secrets, in this case, if someone becomes very interested in gambling, the spouse will be able to point out this problem in time. If this hobby is kept secret from your partner, then it can ultimately bring much more problems. Everything secret becomes clear, which means that it can affect trust in the family and can lead to big problems, if there is no one who could stop it in advance.
Gambling risks are so high that concealing information from one's family becomes a more serious problem. The affected person then tries to hide the gambling behavior instead of controlling the urge to gamble. They use all kinds of tricks to hide the matter. It is not right to hide anything from one's wife because once gambling becomes an addiction the person loses control then not only the relationship but also the society creates a negative attitude.
It is true that someone should also be informed about gambling. Because when a gambler becomes addicted, he cannot redeem himself. If his wife or a friend knows about his gambling addiction, he can help him. Many times a gambler wants to escape from his addiction but no one gives him proper advice because he does not tell anyone. Gambling gives people temporary pleasure, addiction does the opposite. It is hard to celebrate the joy of an addicted gambler. Due to his addiction, there will be a big mistrust in the society or family which will have a big negative impact on his real life. I think the only appropriate solution is to be free from addiction.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: January 06, 2024, 06:08:00 PM
Every story you tell someone can either be a motivation or something to get them depressed. I have been thinking about this and I'd like to pass this advice to every serious gambler in this platform who has won a substantial amount of money from gambling, not to share their success story about winning to everyone and in every place. You do not know the story of every gambler, and on the face some gamblers may just look alright but in deep down they are in debt, some depressed due to addiction to gambling that is destroying them and has made them plan to quit. Your success story when shared indiscriminately may trigger and motivate this addicted gambler battling to stop to want to keep gambling, having the believe that their time is close. Be careful who and where you talk about your success in gambling, you may just be encouraging an addicted gambler to continue.
Every gambler loses at gambling but I don't know of any gambler who never loss. I think every gambler loses and wins again. So as much as they regret the loss, when they win again they enjoy it. If we don't celebrate after winning, we will never get anything from gambling. We should enjoy those victories, if only for a short period of time, even if it is to comfort our minds. But it must be limited to a certain extent. Also, if a gambler has more losses than wins, he will never find the joy of celebrating those wins. As a gambler I think losing is a common thing. If we can control gambling, we can enjoy the winnings.

Super Smash Competition:

Northern Districts team won toss and win chance for choosing Bat or bowl and ND team decided bat first. This game was held on Seddon Park Hamilton stadium. ND team gave very low target 128 runs in 18.4 overs and entire team dismissed. OTAGO team easily chase down this target and won this game by 18 remaining and 8 wickets. OTAGO team scored 132 runs in 20 overs by losing 2 wickets. G Phillips effort in this game was brilliant and he awarded a player of game. G. Phillips scored 53 runs in 30 balls and he hitted two 4s and five 6s. D.Foxcroft also scored well and 55 runs made in 48 balls and he hitted six 4s and one 6s.
Gamblers are under more pressure with low scoring matches. It is difficult to predict the winning of all those games. Because any situation can be created at any time but it cannot be done to a large extent if the score is high. Chasing Northern Knights' 128, Otago could have lost all its wickets. In fact, it must be accepted that not everyone plays the same way every day. With the Northern Knights batsmen unable to survive on the pitch, Otago secured the win with ease. They won the match losing only 2 wickets. Dean Foxcroft and Glenn Phillips both give excellent performances. Before today's match, the two teams were level on points but Otago's win in the match move up in the points table.

In my case I would say that I don't always have the same situation. Sometimes I feel comfortable taking risks when the money is adequate. But when my bankroll is small, i try to take less risk. But gambling is good for those who can change their personality temporarily. What is usually expected to happen in gambling happens the opposite. Those who can take risks can win at times but those who cannot take risks tend to lose. I support gamblers who are willing to take risks. Their variable behavior gives them a chance to win big that the average gambler doesn't. A gambler should not only take risks but also he should think whether he has money to lose or not.
555  Economy / Economics / Re: A career - as an employee or a business owner which do you prefer and why? on: January 05, 2024, 01:21:03 PM
What a person does in life depends on his mindset. There are many individuals who start dreaming big from the beginning of life and there is a large part of the total population who prepare themselves from childhood to work as a employee in a organization when they grow up. But those who try to do something big in life usually think in a different way than general people. It should be remembered that if a person works in any other organization then he remains a slave of that organization throughout his life. Life cannot be enjoyed by him. To be an entrepreneur, he must take initiative. He should not think about the job in the organization but how to make others employment. Those who try can certainly do good.

Australia Women vs India Women
T20I Series First Match

So here everyone know that hoe Australian Women team played in ODI series. Australia won the ODI series with 3-0.
So today the T20I series is starting and Australia Women team is sill looking strong. By the way we can't say anything at this time. Maybe India can perform well. Because there is much different between ODI format and T20I format. So let's hope that India will surprise us.
Yes, India Women vs Australia Women T20 series starts from today. Today's match is going to be very interesting. India Women won the only Test match with a brilliant performance. But did not perform well in the ODI format resulting in losing all three matches. Yes we can expect India women to turn around and perform well today. Since India Women will be playing at home and Australia Women are also a very strong team, today's match is very difficult to predict. But I will put Australia women ahead to win today's match. Let's see which team can win today.
T20 is a more exciting series than Test and ODI format which is going to start shortly. As India women's team did not win any of the last ODI series, they will try to win the series from the first match of the T20 series but it will be tough for them as Australia is a tough opponent. India Women's Deepti Sharma has good reputation for taking wickets in international cricket and her spin-a-track can be a big term card to pick up wickets for Australia Women's team. While India women team has bowlers on one side, Australia women team has great batsmen. It is difficult to predict who will win today's match until we see a few overs on the field.
557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the tension make you take risk that are sometimes worth it? on: January 05, 2024, 12:32:21 PM
We all know that gambling sometimes can be fun and something not, even if we  blatantly claim here that we do gamble alone for the fun purpose 🙄🙄. Truth be told majority of person actually gamble because of the possibility that they can earn some profits from the act and as we all know it , not all the time the end result is what we expected. Although am not an addicted gambler but I can say I do my fair share of gambling activities sometimes and what I have observed is that sometimes I actually make some hard calls that turn out to be fruitful when ever am tenced but the results may differ for different individuals though.

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.
gambling under pressure is really unpleasant, our minds really seem to be split in two, we are told to choose what is good for us at that moment, but on average those who lose in gambling are those who gamble under pressure such as pressure to keep winning, pressure to continue gambling, and pressure to return the capital lost at the start.  all high expectations in gambling must be reduced, lest when we have tried as hard as possible to spend time to continue playing and have also tried to spend a lot of money, the end result of our gambling is a loss.  Gambling with money that we can afford to lose is also very good, it lowers your pressure level when gambling.
I would agree with you that if a person gambles under pressure then he is more likely to lose. He cannot know at that time exactly which he will accept and which he will let go. Gamblers tend to overthink and over analyze when they are under financial pressure, but they are at a loss when it comes to decision-making, and I have found this to be in my own case. When I really need to win there is a lot of pressure on my bets, I play to win rather than lose. A gambler cannot win if he is not gambling from a healthy and normal level. A healthy person can make relatively good decisions in any situation, which is much harder to do under pressure.
558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The is always on gambling, never the individual. on: January 05, 2024, 11:32:19 AM
There are countless people in gambling who manage to gamble but after losing they try to blame the gambling platform instead of blaming themselves. It is a low characteristic of most people. I want to say for that particular people since the gambling platform does not force them why they blame the gambling platform for their bad situation. Most of the time when the gamblers win the bet or get the jackpot it doesn't reflect on them but when they lose their money by over greedy betting then gambling becomes a big problem for them. A gambler is admissible if he takes such thoughtful and necessary decisions before gambling but when he has nothing else to do after losing everything, he is trying to blame.

do people still gamble with these high tx fees? Is the current congestion in the mempool a motivation to some set of gamblers? that they might likely get fortunate since alot of gamblers won't wanna evade the high fees??
Mempool congestion has been great problem for all Bitcoin users. This is very embarrassing especially for those who doing small transactions. Due to the increase in transaction fees, many will conduct gambling with altcoins rather than gambling with Bitcoin. I think the gambling platform will not suffer much if they have a alternate deposit system. Every crypto-based platforms has multiple deposits system. A gambler who is willing to gamble must choose to continue his gambling under any circumstances. If he is not a small gambler then the tax fee is not an issue. I used to gamble with Bitcoin but now feel comfortable gambling with TRX as an alternative.
560  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bitcoin stability important? on: January 04, 2024, 01:27:35 PM
I think promoting Bitcoin stability is partly a matter of avoiding the Alcoin crisis, major changes in cryptocurrency activity, high inflation and excessive volatility, and the Alcoin market. Volatility can increase uncertainty, hinder investment, hinder growth in Alcocent.
What is your opinion?
Bitcoin is not stable because it is part of a trading platform. Trading will usually have volatility. Moreover, this volatility is the main reason why people are so interested in Bitcoin. Because everyone wants to change their life from bitcoin but if bitcoin goes to a stable stage is it possible? Moreover, Bitcoin was not designed to be stable. You might expect such stability for altcoins but it is never possible you can exploit this volatility to reach your destination. Altcoins will start to be bullish when Bitcoin is in bullish sentiment in the market. Moreover, inflation is currently on the rise everywhere. By investing in Bitcoin an investor can retain the exact value of his money which may be difficult to retain through anything else.
