If you talk about football then there are many limitations of football in Olympics and fifa Worldcup. One is player age limit, "Since 1992, male competitors have been required to be under 23 years old, and since 1996, a maximum of three over-23-year-old players have been allowed per squad." Wikipedia.
I don't know whether IOC make any such restriction on cricket or not. ICC must not fear that Olympics inclusion of cricket will reduce ICC supremacy, fifa WC still dominate despite inclusion of football in Olympics.
If ICC is serious about their application for entry in IOC then all changes and things can happen immediately but sadly nothing positive happening, so we have no chance for the cricket to be included in Olympics in future IOC wants some positive changes but here in ICC we have mostly dafar peoples, and they never accept things like this which ends power of pig-3 as well which is also main problem they don't want to do things like these as this current system is corrupt and it's benefiting few boards and peoples as well in ICC.

If ICC can arrange U-19 Men's and Women's World cup for the T20i format then surely they can go ahead with U-23 Men's and Women's qualifiers as well which are required for the entry into Olympics and then second problem is encouraging native players which is also manageable, but few peoples are not interested as this is not favorable for the UAE and other Gulf countries its simple problems.

There is another approach that you have forgot to include! It got a proven record of getting massive profits over the years. It is nothing but hodling. Yes, for the people who are unable to trade due to lack of knowledge and experiences, hodling must be a better solution to increase their networth. Unlike the methods that you have mentioned, holding bitcoin got zero risks but remember that I am talking about bitcoin hodling alone.

With bitcoin hodling, I talk about guaranteed returns when your holding periods extends up to four years. This must be a new kind of advantage that you cannot enjoy anywhere else. I always wonder why people do struggle with trading when they got an easy approach for guaranteed profits through hodling.
"Massive profit over the years" ?, Hhm sorry but I think that's a bit exage. All of us are not an expert right before we invest in Bitcoin but we also experience big losses first before we realize our mistakes and correct it. Also not all those who invest in Bitcoin are fortunate to earn a profit but the only thing that they got is losses.

It's only true that investing/hodling is the go-to thing of people who don't know or don't want to engage in trading. There is no way to say that BTC has a zero risk. BTC actually is the most riskiest asset in crypto because it's known to be highly volatile. We don't know the future of BTC so I won't say that there are guarantees here.

There is no details of any team member and I didn't found their Whitepaper. They offering 1% for 24 hours , 5% for 3 days and 100% for 10 days . There is no details how theirs bit work. They also claim guaranteed principal back which clearly show that it's nothing but just a oonzi scheme. Theirs maximum deposit is $90000 , I'f some one invest he will recieve 9000$ in 10 days. This is something very amazing. Trading results can go either way but they claiming only profit. I will recommend all to stay away from this ponzi scheme and also suggest OP to stop advertising it
And if you click the "about us" button they state that their team is composed of professionals but anyone can say that easily and the public won't be convinced with that if they won't show any proofs. There is a detail on what is their program all about. You can also check their faq page for this.

The service that they offer is a trading bot but it's already configured by them and I think they will also operate it for us. Interested customers are only going to deposit some coins and they will now automatically receive a profit depending on the plan that they choose. They are still things which are questionable so all must be careful about it this one.

There is a reason why Dortmund is considered to win this game most probably and why they have the odds on their favour, they are just simply the better team. But that doesn't mean Freiburg is a bad team, they are quite a tough team, maybe doesn't even deserved to be considered such an underdog, but when you think one team will probably win, the underdogs odds are not that much important unless you are willing to bet on it, at which case that 4+ odds is a good thing for you.

I believe Dortmund will get it, shouldn't be that hard to be fair, they are doing alright and have been better than how they started the season so we will see if they can keep that going.
Borussia Dortmund is surely at their peak with having three impressive wins with two away from home and with this all suddenly change of momentum is good Haller is also back even playing for 40 to 60 minutes, but good changes happen, and they can beat Freiburg which is having poor results after the break and slip from second rank and fifth with most chances if they are not able to have anything positive against Dortmund they can slip to sixth suddenly things are heated up in Bundesliga with the poor form of Bayern Munich and impressive run by few top teams like Leipzig, Union Berlin and Dortmund all are looking in good touch and have fair chance to challenge leaders for the title race or having strong hold on staying for the top four spots.

This time Marseille are going to be hosting Nice after Lens failed against them. I think this will be an example of how you should play against Nice. Because I expect a clear win by Marseille in this match. When we check the head-to-head match history we can see that Marseille are quite dominant in home ones. They lost the last 5 home matches against them. Considering Marseille's current condition I don't see any reason for them to be stopped by Nice in this one.

They will still need to be careful though. Because Nice defeated one of the top teams in the standings eventually. This will motivate them to maintain a good form. But I don't think they can steal points from an in-form Marseille. Maybe both teams to score might be another nice choice.
Both Marseille and Nice have a good record since many rounds and any one of them could win this game eventually. The difference between them is that Marseille is a bit more powerful and playing home. Nice recent victory vs Lens made them look as a threat to Marseille and increased their chances in people perspective but I think that Marseille is favourite in this game.
In last five meetings Marseille never lost against Nice with current form is also favourable for the home team they have good record in last few games just having draw against the Monaco, but currently Nice is not at the level of Monaco and have no chance to create any problems for them after long gape now Marseille is also doing good job and have good reward for their performance they are able to achieve second spot in league table and now having challenge from PSG for the top rank because PSG is having injuries issue which can help them for having good chance for the Marseille to give them fight for the title race.

Lens were also in good shape but suddenly poor run give them below, and now they are at the third spot with still have time and chance to achieve their spot back from Marseille which is surely not easy but still all things possible in the game.
546  Economy / Economics / Re: Monthly or weekly pay? Fixed or percentage earning? what is your prefrence. on: February 03, 2023, 09:03:21 PM
with weekly, you could spend your weekly amount to survive, but its always a tricky situation to calculate the bills and unexpected ones.
Weekly payment, so that I don't need to wait or borrow money if something sudden comes up that requires me to have more money than I have. Also, when you get the salary all at once, it almost feels like it finishes earlier too and then you have a whole month to wait again.

And, I prefer fixed payment, so that I don't have the fear of when I don't get no sales to get any commission, and that does happen.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 03, 2023, 07:00:53 AM
Barcelona defense was very good in the Real Betis match and gave confidence. Made good comebacks against their Real Betis counter attacks. Raphinha on the other hand made good use of Dembele's absence and showed herself.
Araujo was great as always. Lewandowski, whose suspension has expired, managed to score a difficult away goal despite playing bad football. This goal brought Lewa back to life after the punishment. This win for Barcelona was very important and tied the team on the way to the championship. Everything seems to be fine in Barcelona.
Good investment and too many changes now giving good results to Barcelona now as we are at the half of this season they are leading by 5 points from second rank defending champions Real Madrid which also won their last match against Valencia by 2 - 0 even they were not good as they need to be for this match but in second half Benzema done good job and assist in both goals before going out of the match with injury which is surely not good for him and his team because this can create problems for them.

Barcelona is surely now having superior in defense and their attack is also useful which is helping them for having good number of goals Dembélé's absence is also not having any impact as Raphinha is also doing good job and Robert Lewandowski is also at his best which is good signal for them as now they are strongest for this year's title race.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 02, 2023, 09:28:04 PM
1-0 in the 1st half with a goal from Bremer.

The game is quite boring and until now Lazio did nothing.

Let's see if they can invent something for the second half
juventus was able to dominate the course of this match they recorded 8 shots so far, their efforts look very strong to win this game. a 1-0 advantage might be an important asset for Juventus in the Italian Cup. Lazio is very difficult to attack, they are more inclined to play defensively in this match.

My prediction is that Juventus might be able to take advantage of this victory after they failed to win in their previous Serie A match. Vlahovic is yet to make his mark as a ferocious Sticker after his return from his injuries.
Now we are in 60th minute of the game and Lazio is having change of their playing way aggressive approach from them which is giving impression they are going to break deadlock and can go for the goal which will bring this match on level even Juventus is doing good in defense even their attack is also not as they have to be, but they are also doing good and trying to keep their hopes alive for the semifinal spot against Inter.

Allegri is positive after the deduction of 15 points but players confidence is on lower level, and they are no able to play like they were before this deduction which is surely having big impact and now things are completely change once they were going to challenge leaders Napoli, and now they are struggling to have spot into top six.
549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The goodness of long-term investing in cryptocurrency on: February 02, 2023, 09:00:03 PM
If you could invest long term with whatever you have, that is going to be pretty much something that you could always have a feeling about and I think it would be something quite difficult to handle.

I am not saying it is going to be easy or anything like that, but at the  very least we are talking about something that would be impossible to get away from if you make money once. Think about it this way, lets say you bought bitcoin at 1k and somehow managed to hold it until it is 20k, would you sell at that point? You made so much already, why not wait some more? It's harder when you first start, but eventually it gets easier and easier, and I think will be done.
I think what you are saying there is that investors will always think about their assets? Well, why not? It happens especially if someone invest in a highly volatile asset like crypto. We can't help it but worry sometimes. Much more if you risk the money that's not within your capacity but if it's only a small amount then this can be prevented.

In the example that you have given, I don't even think that someone can reach that high ($20k) if they start with $1k only but I believe many of us have sold early before we ever saw that price. That's not wrong than completely missing the selling opportunity. It only becomes wrong if you sell early and then incur a loss.

Ashwin's spot in the playing XI is in danger? Why would you think that?

He has 5 test tons and 449 wickets under his belt and singlehandedly won countless matches for India and its home series. Jaddu-Ashwin-Axar trio should be the first pick for the selectors and you could also throw kuldeep in the mix if by any chance Axar or Jaddu is out of form.
Here I am also feeling Ashwin could be their first choice for the test spot with Jaddu and Axar because he is still key player and can give good performance for team single-handedly with batting is plus point for him with his 5 test centuries and experience is also important.

But if team have any issue then surely they can drop anyone from Jaddu or Axar for having Kuldeep into team, but this all depends on pitch and match day what strategy they will adopt for having good results against Australia, touring party is also doing their homework, and surely they will give some surprises during match as they are famous for this all and their experience to play against Pakistan and Sri Lanka is surely going to help them even India is the toughest place for them in this series.
551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why most of airdrops don't pay participants with tokens in these days?? on: February 01, 2023, 08:11:42 PM
But sometimes they are just playing tricks on people who want to participate in the Airdrop, you should look in detail about what they are asking to collect data on you. Maybe all this is just a way to sell your data.
Dude, all they want is your data, they wont ask you to solve math problems to help with their kid's homework. After all they want to sell your data or some malicious intent that we should not talk about. Either way you are opening the risk. The more information about yourself that you give to strangers the more attack vectors they can prepare for you and one day you might end up in a bad situation causing you to lose money.

No number of airdrops justify what they are doing and besides you should not give away your data for something as low as a shitcoin that has no future. Invest in bitcoin and dont waste time on these shitdrops.
That's creepy then. Maybe they are only using the term airdrop but this is their real intention? Hmm. Newbies should be warned about this and they must be educated that their data is more valuable than the penny that they can get on these airdrops. A real airdrop never asks for our data except only the wallet address where they will send the tokens.

There are still companies who buys people's data. If we don't really mind our privacy then better if we can go straight on them as they can give a better value about it. One of the main reason on why there are people who do airdrops is because they don't have a money so how can they invest in Bitcoin? But there are Bitcoin earning opportunities out there which could be worth their time better than the airdrops.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Being Lonely drives you towards Gambling....! on: February 01, 2023, 07:14:23 PM
Does anybody have this experience or this is happening with me. Most of my gambling losses have taken place when I feel lonely.
Today one such incident have taken place. I've kept my last few weeks signature earning aside to meet some medical needs. Today my mother got hospitalised and I'm her attender. She is supposed to take a minor surgery as her vision isn't clear. She's been taken to the Operation Theatre and I was left alone in the room. If anything required the nursing staff would call me. By thos time my mind didn't think about anything. All of the sudden why don't you gamble? and I started and made 0.009BTC close to 0.01BTC and the greed didn't left me. Finally lost all my month's earning kept aside.

Through this I would like to remind be careful when you are alone. If your mind wish to gamble, go for it. But don't consider it as a way to pass your time and keep on wagering. The outcome might hurt, because most of the time loneliness is felt when our mind is in a bad mood. Some enjoy being lonely, but the reality used to be different.
That's not always the case, it will matter depends on what you see on the internet and people around you since those one can influence you to gamble because your curiosity risen up when there's money shown or you see people around you enjoying what they are playing and you will get convince to try about what they are doing because you don't want to be left around by them. There's to many option for people to eliminate their boredom and maybe other people see gambling as one of the option.
Yes not all people can experience the same to what the OP experienced but some of us will look for other interesting things and it's not always going to be gambling is the first thing that will came in our mind even though we also have a money or a crypto on our wallet. But there is a saying that when our mind is not occupied or we aren't busy then chances are that we will be involved on something bad. That could be true and the OP can prove it.

Maybe the OP is browsing his phone that time and he sees a gambling ad or a gambling post in this forum and that triggers him to gamble, not his surroundings because he is inside the hospital.

Being Lonely drives you towards Gambling....!
You are responsible for yourself, your situation will not drive you to gambling if you can control yourself.
So I do not agree with your statement that being lonely drives us towards gambling, as it is all about how we deal with our loneliness.
You can find other activities, why did you choose gambling when you feel lonely?
This simple question shows that you made a mistake and you did not aware about it until you lost your money then try to blame your loneliness.
And besides the OP there wasn't really alone. Can't imagine if how can I gamble on that situation. If there is anything that I will think of then that is the safety of my family member or anyone who are inside that medical theatre. I think the main reason why the OP gamble is that he will have an extra money that will be used to pay the medical bills. He was already successful there as he said he made some decent amount but the problem is lack of control and greed got him.

This is a usual case. Gambling house will tempt us and make us a winner only for us to come back but the result that we will get this time is not the same as what we had last time.
554  Economy / Speculation / Re: does the increasing number of altcoins have a negative impact on the price btc on: January 31, 2023, 03:24:31 PM
the ever-increasing number of altcoins will probably only affect the adoption of Bitcoin from newbies. some beginners or maybe more choose altcoins because the price is cheaper. and also maybe because of suggestions from others. because I have friends who prefer short-term investing in altcoins rather than Bitcoin.

I might think more about the positive impact it has on strengthening the market because of more altcoins. although of course there is also a negative impact when more and more shitcoins end up being scams.
but as more people adopt crypto it means there will always be growth in the better market. crypto adoption is getting bigger. when the choice is also greater. the impact on market strength is not specific to the price of Bitcoin.
Not only from newbies but there are some veterans who will get tempted on their short-term pumps. I am talking about the new altcoins but they can also invest on old altcoins for the long term as a part of their diversification. This affects BTC somehow. If BTC is the only crypto then it will get all the demand and its value is already high now.

If more newbies will get scammed by those scammy altcoins then they will leave the crypto world and they might also warn other people about this. That is one of the down side of having an altcoin in this market. Even though not all are obvious scams but we don't know maybe their devs will get tempted to pull the rug later on? There are also legit alts who will get weaker in the long run. People can still lose their money this way.
555  Economy / Economics / Re: Use your money wisely. Invest or Deposit ? on: January 30, 2023, 07:29:21 PM
At this present, Banking deposit is very lowest profitable. Infaltion incrase day by day. World economic fall ! many bank bankrupt held for this ression. Same refection in bitcoin. But, few days look up bitcoin price is increse. Previous 2 or 3 week ago when bitcoin price 17000$. Today bitcoin price 23000$ up. So, bitcoin invest is very profitable.
But I think despite of that fact, there are still people who keep on using banks because they think their money is still safe there than if they hold it on their own. If they want to take investing seriously then I believe they also know how to diversify their funds and allocate it in different things which can bring them some profits like opening a business, investing in stocks, real estate, etc..

When the economy collapse, indeed that not only banks/fiat are affected but BTC can also suffer although all of them has a chance to recover. BTC is volatile and can dump more but that's fine since it can still recover what it lost and earn more than it.
556  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading as wealth. on: January 30, 2023, 02:12:02 PM
Sometimes it baffles me seeing that newbies today always come online to say whatever they feels is right for them without even thinking, reading and researching before giving what information they think is right.
Trading can never gives you what you desire, rather it requires a lot of technicalities to deal with trading. Btw, do not invest in cryptocurrency thinking is a wealth creation or sure link to became wealthy over night. Investing in cryptocurrency is the most difficult task you are taking in your life, why because if you invest with your life savings thinking or having a mentality of becoming Rich overnight, then i must tell you that is the beginning of your failure. You can only decides to invest in bitcoin as it is more safer to invest rather than altcoin, but note something very important that when you invest there is no assurance or guaranteed that you must get 100 percent profits as the case maybe and is not stable.
Maybe they do that on purpose? Like if in this forum, maybe their intention is to gain merit to rank up? But they can't hardly be successful by that. They think people here are dummies and doesn't read carefully on what it is written.

Anyway, yeah trading is hard but he only made it easy there. Not all people are capable of doing it but trading can provide income which can then full the person's desire but still, there are things which can't be availed by money. Crypto investing on the other hand is much easier to do than in trading but indeed it doesn't make us rich overnight. This is the only downside of investing as it requires enough patience.
557  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you guys think about web3, metaverse? on: January 30, 2023, 09:51:33 AM
I think web3 is the future. Most people believe that Web3 will reshape the boundaries of real and digital space economic and social activities, and promote the integration of physical and digital industries. I also support this view. For the Internet, various countries are vigorously developing. The decentralized internet is also gaining popularity.
I think the one that you are talking about there is already a metaverse and not a web 3 anymore as web 3's definition is only about decentralized internet but if Bitcoin (decentralized crypto) is the future of currencies or payment methods then maybe you are right that web 3 (decentralized internet) is also the future of the internet but just like the Bitcoin who have a lot of haters, web 3 might also have it for the same reason that they can't control it and that is why many people will still stick with the old web 2 internet, the same with how they choose fiat currencies over Bitcoin as it is more legal and widely accepted by the governments.

Plinko on Stake runs very smoothly, indeed. I was impressed how well it works even while on autobet mode, with all those balls bouncing around.
So, you wager cents at the time and hope to get the maximum multiplier eventually, does not sound so bad as strategy... and I thought I was the smallest gambler on Stake's plinko with my dollar wagers.

Good luck.  Wink
it doesn't matter if you are a small gambler and you don't have to get a win, at least you can increase your Wagered amount to get better membership and bonuses, of course, although sometimes playing plinko is a little boring because it uses auto bets there, let alone manual bets.
Yeah, it doesn't matter because this was only gambling and it doesn't improve our life if we will try harder. In fact, it's better to be a small gambler so that you will only lose small and you won't be addicted to it. In gambling, our main aim must be to have fun and not the win but if one tries to build his rank then he will need to play on low risk games to wager effectively, sacrificing the profit potential first. When it comes to the game called plinko.

I also love this game and I can confirm that it's best to play this on manual mode rather than in auto unless if we want to wager fast. If so then we can also disable the animation and allow instant bet on the settings to improve our speed.
559  Economy / Economics / Re: Success is fundamentally determined by luck, not effort. on: January 29, 2023, 07:25:20 PM
You are focused and consistent it will achieve that success. I think it will bring you good luck. Because success will always be side by side hard work with luck. The more you work hard, the greater the probability to meet luck.
Success due to luck is only temporary, success due to hard work lasts a long time. Luck is the result of trying, there is no word luck if you don't try.
I agree with that that luck will not come if we don't make any effort,
so don't think that luck will come alone because after all luck is the fruit of our hard work,
it's better to focus on hard work and not think about luck.
I think it's still possible. What about those poor people who doesn't do anything but then someone can just knock on their doors and give them some assistance? Also when we just merely walk in the streets, we can get lucky because we can see a money lying around or a valuable thing but of course, these are only small and can be rare to happen so if we want to elevate it then there is only one way of doing it and that is by working hard and learning more skill.

Being good to others do also helps. The fruit of our hardwork is not what you call a luck but it was the fruit itself. Luck is when something which you don't expect suddenly came to you. It was a great feeling.

you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 
Though I believe that one should have enough control on their emotions and actions, but I still agree to this somehow. Someone tends to do something more often if it's easily accessible for them and if they are not required to put in some efforts for it. Still, I think it also depends on the person's mindset and personal preferences of how they want to limit each stuff they do in their spare time.

In my experience, he is right because, for example, if you need to travel for an hour to gamble then probably you will never gamble or very rarely gamble. This is applicable for all kind of evil things like drinks.
