New Zealand is decimating South Africa at the moment while Bangladesh is getting wrecked by England. All South Bowlers except Keshav, Ngidi and Jansen were pretty mediocre while Topley, Wood and Rashid bowled well.

However, it looks like we will see a result only in the NZ match while the Bangladesh match will probably get abandoned.

I disagree with you. With the current condition of the global economy, more and more early retirees are back to seeking jobs and any sources of income. While it is true that retiring early allows people to finally have time for themselves and enjoy life, majority of the people see it as a hard-to-reach goal due to inflation and the possible hit it will cause their financial stability once they choose to stop working. Hence, I wouldn't call this a subjective topic.
You proved yourself why this is a subjective topic. Think! The number of early retirees who seek jobs which you mentioned are part of the minority while the majority are completely happy with their decision and won't come out of retirement.

Also, this isn't the first time that inflation became a thing and the global economy is already recovering which you clearly failed to observe.
583  Economy / Economics / Re: Early Retirement [Pros and Cons] on: October 01, 2023, 05:47:01 PM
This is a very subjective topic op. Firstly, no one knows how long they will live which is why retiring early is preferred over retiring late. Imagine saving a lot of money and retiring late only to expire shortly after. Crazy regrets!

Secondly, most early retirees are happy with their decision. The ones that you mentioned are part of the minority who can always come out of retirement.

Crypto sportsbooks usually don't grant decent limits since I have heard of people getting limited for just thousands of dollars. I recommend checking out betting brokers like Betinasia, Sportmarket etc who offer crypto payment methods and high limits.

In case I'm wrong, could you tell us which casino you played at to the point of reaching the 45 million wagered and why you stopped using the casino that allowed you to play to the point of reaching the 45 million wagered?
He probably got limited at those sites which is why he asked this query.

Let's hope these rain spells will be over, and we will see a complete 100-over game in the World Cup.
You are expecting the impossible. It's currently monsoon season in India which implies that these are seasonal rains and they will definitely affect a good portion of the upcoming World Cup.

I am seeing that 99% cricket fans community is active here. I would like to inform all that we have started world cup contest where total prediction will be made in the thread. Top ten winners will be given rewards. 0.005BTC + 50$ worth btc is already accumulated and hope we will get more. We welcome our all new participants. currently Warmup contest is open.
Lovely initiative! It's good to see proper cricket fans like you organising such fun activities instead of some spammers spamming away for their signature quota.

Important thing on here is that you could be having a choice because if you do go for Trading then expect fees would be there but its not something that huge that you would really be making yourself that too stress of.
Fees aren't really huge in casinos or brokers basically. They usually range from 0% - 3% based on what I observed which isn't really high. However, the ones that charge no fees at all should be applauded.

Cryptocurrencies like LTC, Doge etc are the primary reason why these fees are so low which is why I appreciate them even more.
587  Economy / Gambling / Re: MoneyPot - Crash with the lowest house edge on: September 30, 2023, 05:56:29 PM
I thank the moneypot casino for giving me a balance of 200 bits, I used this balance for my first experience at moneypot, this site is quite light and very practical, it only has 1 game, it would be better to add other light games like Dice
Op already mentioned specifically that their plan is to focus on crash primarily. They might add more games later if the site takes off successfully.

There are no competitions or bonuses on MoneyPot now. OP has a different view about the bonuses. And they think that actual gambler play the games without focusing on the bonuses. MoneyPot 'investors profit' is still in negative direction. They won't be able to generate revenue like the other crash gambling sites as they have a lower house edge. Giving bonuses to users and running some contests could be costly for them. I think they will bring some promo or contest if there is a high demand from the regular players.
Valid points. They definitely need to run regular promotions within their site or forum or both regularly in order to continue competing effectively. Seems like they aren't willing to take such necessary risks yet.
588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: September 30, 2023, 04:46:12 PM
Possibly but it must be a successful model in India as well, otherwise, it'll struggle to make a mark.
Agreed. Any cricket format needs to become popular in India first when compared to every other country for various obvious reasons. The T-10 format could become popular pretty quickly everywhere.

However, I don't think the boards will focus primarily on it anytime soon thanks to the popularity of the T-20 format.

Correct me if I am wrong as no one is the most perfect being in this world, brokers are supposed to be for forex traders? Am I wrong or right? Because I believe that comparing gambling with brokers makes no sense.
So many people in this thread clearly have no idea who betting brokers are and are mixing them up with other kinds of brokers. Betting brokers provide punters access to popular sites which restrict their countries.

Examples include sites like Betfair, Pinnacle etc. They earn through commissions on winning and losing bets.

But one thing I am trying to figure out is that all these complains everywhere in the forum, is it that non has reported them to authorities?
Many, many gamblers have tried reporting them to the authorities over time, but they were all unsuccessful primarily because it's a crypto casino without a proper physical location.

They also have strong connections with bigger sites like 1xbet which is why they are able to evade the authorities pretty easily.

Pakistan vs New Zealand

Match was overed between these two teams. First Pakistan batted and give a big target to New Zealand team and I expect that Pakistan ka easily win this match but expectations wrong new Zealand chase down big target of  345 runs. In warm up matches both team show brilliant performance let's see in world cup

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh

Second match of warm up series also finished between SL and BAN. In this match, Sri Lanka did not show good performance and set 263 runs against BAN and Bangladesh also chase down this target and secure their victory I see good improvement from Bangladesh team and this team Did not play well in some match in previous series.
Expected Pakistan and Sri Lanka to win, but I was surprised to see Bangladesh and New Zealand winning quite comfortably. Williamson returned in style with an unbeaten half century.

Bangladesh actually played really well without Shakib in their squad though I still think they won't go far in the World Cup.

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't realize that it's 1xbit; I actually gambled on 1xbet, where it's easy for me to transfer funds through my digital bank. As I mentioned, it's just a small amount of money, something I can easily let go of. It's not so bad based on my personal experience, but I know this site is very risky. I also want to emphasize that I am not promoting it; I just have friends who still use the site despite knowing its reputation.
Makes sense. As I mentioned in my previous post, they don't really focus much on small amounts and usually go after big amounts(Especially 1xbet). They tempt gamblers through their superb odds and screw them later on.

I advise you and your friends to avoid both these sites and their clones completely since your funds are never safe with them.

ICC obsession with the United States is well known. They believe that at some point USA will become the cash cow for ICC, similar to the case with India now. But I am quite skeptical about it. Americans have their own leagues such as the MLB, NFL and NBA, and they haven't shown much interest in cricket, which takes 3.5 to 4.0 hours even for the shortest version. Depending on expats from South Asia, South Africa and West Indies also may not work in the long term, as the second generation immigrants show a decreasing interest in cricket when compared to first generation.
T-10 format could potentially change all of that since it addresses the time issue and provides plenty of quality entertainment within that short period just like NBA, Soccer etc.

To make this happen, the ICC needs to focus less on formats like ODI and more on the T-10 basically.
594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Flip or Trade? What’s The Bigger Gamble? on: September 29, 2023, 06:29:19 AM
I don't understand why some members keep insisting on comparing trading to gambling and are totally convinced they are not different from each other. First, gambling is an entertainment activity while trading is a sort of investment or a job if you like.
Second, gambling is based mainly on luck while trading is based on specific skills and experience.
It's true that you can win or lose on both of them but they are not the same and for each of them the possibilities of winning or losing depends on totally different factors.
Trading also requires a good dose of luck to go your way though skills definitely help here unlike gambling where you are 100% dependent on luck. However, there are games like poker etc where skill helps along with luck.

This is why trading and gambling are actually pretty similar in more ways than one if you think about it.
595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 28, 2023, 06:13:12 PM
Some of the top batsmen have batted well but unfortunately the batsmen from the lower order down have not supported the team well and the bowlers are too much in this match.  Expansive was the reason why India suffered a big defeat against Australia in this match.
Here's the deal with the Indian team these days. They either play really well and destroy the opponent or they play like crap and lose by decent margins which implies that their performances are inconsistent.

This is alright in the regular matches of the World Cup, but they should be way more consistent during the critical matches of the marquee event.

Maybe, but honestly, I don't really think they would scam me for a small amount of money. I still find this gambling site not so bad, despite the scam accusations. The fact that they still exist until now implies that there are still lots of gamblers who trust them, and they probably take precautions by not depositing a lot of money, you know, just in case.
Not so bad? You have got to be kidding with me. These fraudsters have screwed so many gamblers over time and the site is still alive only because they are supported by their parent(1xbet) which is far more powerful.

1xbet, Melbet etc all belong to the same group of scammers who are operating most probably out of Russia.
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Discussion thread on: September 28, 2023, 11:58:24 AM
Those are predictions threads where contest is taking place and that is for the members who participated.

This one is the clean ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Discussion thread and it is also not self -mod thus fulfilling the purpose of freedom of speech.
Wrong. Some of them are prediction pool threads as you mentioned, but some are strictly about different formats of cricket. The ODI discussion thread is the proper discussion thread related to the ODI World Cup.

This is simply some advice to avoid unnecessary cricket related spamming. Also, this is my last post in this thread.

Personally, despite being aware of their bad reputation, I gave the site a try, but with certain limitations, and solely for entertainment purposes. I managed to withdraw my funds, but it's not something I prefer to use consistently.
You got really lucky to be honest with you. Am guessing that you cleverly stuck to small amounts since they usually scam big amounts from their customers based on all the scam accusations against them.

Bitcointalk as a forum is not advertised anywhere, so several people out there do not have the slightest idea that such a forum exists, most who join this days is either through research or someone recommended this forum to them directly.
That's true. I learnt about this forum myself several years though I wish I learnt about it way back in 2009.
599  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do if your country did not legalize cryptocurrency? on: September 27, 2023, 03:42:07 PM
It's pretty simple op. VPNs! Don't use free VPNs. Instead, subscribe to a high quality paid VPN service which will help you stay anonymous online and dabble with all cryptocurrencies without any issues.

TOR is another useful alternative in my opinion. World governments cannot stop BTC no matter how hard they try and they know it.

and that is the same reason why we are still seeing victims from outside this forum , because Bitcointalk users already knew their scamming so they are victimizing people from outside.
The problem here is that most gamblers don't check forums like Bitcointalk before signing up at gambling sites due to which they get fooled by review sites like Trustpilot etc and end up getting screwed later on.

More and more gamblers need to stop being lazy and must check sites like Bitcointalk while researching crypto gambling sites.
