The decision has been taken at the ICC board meeting last Friday shows that they have three options for the upcoming T-20 World Cup.

1) The first option allows crowds with a 14-days quarantine as per the T20 global schedule.
2) The second is that there will be no spectators in any stadium during the T-20 World Cup.
3) The third option is to move the tournament to 2022.

Source: News18

I think the second option is the one that ICC and the other boards will be okay with. I still do not understand what do they mean with the first option. It is practically impossible to ask everyone in the crowd for 14 days quarantine,. The fire one is not possible.

How the heck can you believe on what he tweeted. Why will anyone reveal the actual amount on a public forum when the world knows never to reveal your holding.

He is playing mind games with the community as he has done in the past and there are members here who believe those tweets. Those are bunch of lies he tweeted.

I vote #1 ClassyBeef

That is the same expression that comes on my face when ever I win with a big bet. That expression with head nods is my way of showing my excitement as I am happy and satisfied with the result. Well, that happens rarely but whenever it happens it is the best thing that can happen.

There are some people who are dreaming to become a professional gambler like Don Johnson who won $15.2 million playing blackjack, when asked to explain what his secret was, Johnson smiled and then he explained he needed only two things to beat the house: good skills and a plan. Having skills in every battle would be a great advantage but it won't work if you do not plan something, so it is a matter of combination between skills and plans.

Every successful professional gamblers treat gambling as a sport and like disciplined athletes, they don't let their emotions get the better of them. There will be bets you win and bets you lose. If you let the excitement or sadness get to you, you will end up making bad gambling decisions.

If you are going to ask any professional gamblers how do they survive at the tables. No matter how good you are, they will tell you this: it's inevitable that you will have a bad string of results Ir even a bad year so we should always accept that we can lose the game.

Gambling facts:
There are some gamblers who believe in superstition. Every time you watch or read something about gambling, the hero of the story goes on a winning streak as soon they bet on their lucky number, or keep a lucky clover close to their heart. If you think these things work, don't gamble. As you can read on this article that explains how to win at Blackjack every time you play, superstition has nothing to do with your success rate at the table.

I am happy the way I am playing now. I intend to gamble for entertainment and not for making money. I play because I love the excitement and the urge to win.

Whatever my skills are I am happy with it and I donot want to break my head for a game or two.

Very informative thread, you have covered most common tips that everyone needs to inculcate themselves before starting to trade. There is another one that you can add to your list of tips. Start with Small

In my opinion that tip is the most important of all the others.

Don't think if the government priorities at this time is to resume the cricket. The main focus of the governments is to open up the lock down so that people can go back on their jobs and business with certain restrictions and SOPs. Resuming cricket is not a big priority at the moment.
The England cricket board is expecting to resume international matches by July 8 and they will be hosting West Indies but it is not clear when the domestic season will be starting. All the English players are expected to resume training this month

There is another league planning to schedule, Vincy Premier League (VPL) T10 and it will start by May 22.

No idea about the rest of the cricket boards but hopefully Australia will follow the same path.

Both the England and the WI board and government are agreed on this schedule ? If this happens and the tournament is played successfully then we can see other boards take similar steps too to resume the cricket. However, it will be difficult to take this initiative and they will face a lot criticism for that too.

In my opinion some one has to start and if these boards go on with the tournament then others will follow with some hickups. There are two sides to everything there will be people who will criticize this move and then there is people like us who will support it.

Ripple is not a cryptocurrency as such it is a investment scheme that is operated by banks through hidden structure. There are numerous articles and videos that suggest that with proofs on Google. Therefore it does not matter what they are doing or with whom they are collaborating.
5648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What was the maximum fee required for being confirmed within next block on: May 17, 2020, 07:10:51 AM
Yes you are right the fee has been on the higher side recently. I generally transfer Bitcoin every week using MyCellieum wallet. I use the normal transfer mode and recently it has been charging me 76 sat/byte. Whereas  a month back it was 44sat/byte. I think this might be due to the halving and decline in the hash rate.

I guess they can't really beat Bitcoin.
Just saw on Reddit where
An old article states dated September 13,2017

"bitcoin is a fraud that will blow up, says JP Morgan Boss"

And now May 12,2020
"JK Morgan Extends Banking services to bitcoin exchanges"

I guess if you can't beat 'em join 'em.

So  i guess as my opinion on bitcoin future will be stable and no coin will take over it.

So whats your insight about this news? What will happen in bitcoin ?


This is really interesting.

How cunning banks are? They cannot fight it or destroy it. hence, they will use it for their own benefit. For every transaction I am sure JP Morgan would be charging a good fee to the exchanges. Still it is a good news for the community.

6. Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala.

Dharamshala is my fav, it doesn't matter anyway. BCCI looking at Bengaluru, The National Cricket Academy (NCA) is already there and has all the training facilities they need and now it depends on the Karnataka's gov.

Bengaluru is one of the metro cities and large number of cases are being reported from there every day. Therefore I don't think that it will be a good idea to conduct the matches there. The BCCI should have constructed stadiums in North-east India and in places such as Andaman Nicobar Islands. It would have been mutually beneficial for both the parties.

 Grin
 Brilliant suggestion, now they will realise their mistake and start working on the construction of Cricket stadiums at remote location of India. This will not only improve the infrastructure of that location but will also create employment opportunities for the locals.
5651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: May 17, 2020, 06:17:01 AM
I don't think that will end tomorrow. Even it is withdrawn then there will be restrictions on sports and entertainment. I heard from news that for the future games teams will go to the host country stay quarantined for 15 days and then play in spectators free stadiums.
It is possible if the cricket playing countries are able to conduct intensive test for the virus and monitor each player before allowing the players to start preparing and then start playing the tournaments in empty stadiums. They need to get permission from their respected government to restart everything and for that we need to wait for some more time.

The biggest question is, is it profitable for them to conduct the matches in empty stadiums and if the government will allow to continue with sports.

Don't think if the government priorities at this time is to resume the cricket. The main focus of the governments is to open up the lock down so that people can go back on their jobs and business with certain restrictions and SOPs. Resuming cricket is not a big priority at the moment.

Cricket would only become priority in the big case events where the government and people get huge revenues and it is worth taking that much risk at present situation. I think they will start thinking later as anyways the rains would be in soon and for next 3 months it would not be able to conduct matches.


Most government are concerned about economic revival and curbing the virus spread. Cricket will be the last thing they will have in their mind. But, you cannot say that cricket tournaments do not generate a huge revenue.

A 2018 articles states that
According to the data provided by BCCI, the Indian Premier League (IPL) contributed Rs 11.5 billion ($182 million) to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2015.

Yo can read the complete article here https://www.financialexpress.com/sports/ipl/ipl-economy-what-the-cash-rich-league-adds-to-indias-gdp/1025063/

This data is from the organised sector, the same amount or less will also come from the unorganised sector.
5652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING: Skill-based vs. Chance-based on: May 17, 2020, 05:32:40 AM
Well, I prefer chance based games as I do not want to use my brains for playing online. You are never sure whether you are playing with an actual human or a bot. Also chance based games are more luck based games therefore the uncertainty factor creates more excitement.

If you are good in trading then why not start a Youtube channel about trading strategies and tips. There is a huge demand related to trading videos on YouTube and the income is also quite good after your reach a certain subs level.

If you do consider starting a Youtube channel then send me a DM of your channel page and I will subscribe to it and promote it if your content is good.

No one responded to this means that people are not interested in Retrolive matches. Also this is the first weekend where retrolive does not repeat telecast any match, does this means that people are no longer interested in old matches and they want to view the new live matches only ?

At first people reacted out of respect to their old memories and due to lockdown implication -boredom- but after sometime everyone accepted that Retrolive_matches are boring, so no more telecast or viewership/clicks.

@JSRAW you’re absolutely correct because initially people were struggling to get used to their lockdown routine hence watching the old matches was kind of peaceful for them, but over a period of time they all finally settled in to their new routine and hence they stopped watching those matches as they diverted their time in other activities. Lastly as usual it came down to money, and once the broadcasters realised that they’re not making any money from showing the old matches, they decided to pull the plug and and I feel that their action is completely justified under the circumstances.

Absolutely correct it is too frustrating now to watch those retro matches. I want to see some actual cricket now but, with all those negative news about postponing future tournaments my frustrations is growing even more.
5655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 16, 2020, 02:02:46 PM
Well its looking very good for the T20 world cup to go ahead as planned as the football season in Australia is going to start in June and the AFL have already said that if they need to move the grand final from the MCG because of the world cup then they will move it to another stadium. Lets now hope that Australia is able to keep the virus cases low and we get to see some cricket played on time.

I heard that T20 world cup is likely to be postponed till  2022. Although the decision is not final yet but there are high possibilities that This year’s T20 World Cup may be postponed to 2022. I know it will disappoint many of us including me, if this decision is finalized.

This is very bad news!

If it gets postponed they we have to wait for 24 months for the tournament to happen. Why are the postponing it for 2 years. Why not next year? I enjoy T20 format more than any other format. Nothing is clear but there is a high chance it will get postponed this year.

Thank You Very Much!

Bitcointalk is not marketplace, it is forum related to Bitcoin and altcoins. First go through the forum and understand which thread is for what?

Then try to build your reputation by helping others or by sharing knowledge in this forum. Then think about earnings.

Being a newbie your chance of making money are very less. Try to achieve the level of a Member and then think about earning.

I wish this could happen soon. Clas royale is one of my favourite games based on P2P model. If gamers can come out with such a game  where people can bet Bitcoin for every game they play then it would be fantastic. In the meantime you can try arcade based gaming sites like saltybets or betroar to play with your Bitcoins.

It is a pretty big forum so if they plan on convert it to an app it will take some time. In the meantime iit would be great if this forum can be optimised  to view on mobile devices. I have been using it on my mobile and tablet for some time now the only issue is that you have to zoom in and zoom out a lot of time.

Cryptocurrency exchanges have become an easy target for hackers. The list is enormous and the amount lost is staggering. New upcoming exchanges are more vulnerable to attacks. In most cases it has been an insider job or a rival exchange.

This business is so lucrative that everyone wants to have a pie of it but none of them want to safe guard investors money. It is sad to see so many name in this list every year.
