621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 07, 2023, 11:07:09 PM
Suicide does not solve the problem, because the debt is usually passed on to relatives. So you need to weigh everything well before you decide to take this extreme step. And you can always find a way out if you control your emotions. Yes, it can be very difficult - but you have to overcome yourself and make conclusions for the future.
It depends on the laws regarding each country, debts that you have with the government are not waived even if the person dies, but debts with banks and other private institutions are often discharged on several jurisdictions, however this is no compensation at all when we compare it to the psychological damage and emotional anguish their family members and friends have to go through when facing the suicide of someone they love.
This is where people do mistake losing with gambling. We should understand well about the consequences on the positives and negatives, and have the mind to accept it. Only after that we should decide whether it suits or not. If not we should have the mind to share what has happened with someone close to us and get rid of it. Everyone doesn't do this, and this is where we get to see similar incidents. The loss the family experience can never be compensated with anything.

gambling is never a steady income, although there may be people living through gambling(which are called "professional gamblers") people should realize that those people are most likely just a small percentage of the people who gambles worldwide.

Even the so called professional gamblers are rich people who gamble what they can afford to lose. They do take a lot of losses but because they have deep pockets it doesn't show, plus, when they win, the win covers most of their loses because it's usually a high amount. There is no way you can see gambling as a steady source of income and not lose massively. It might even wreck you so bad you'd be deep in debt. Gambling is like alcohol. Drink, but drink responsibly. Gamble responsibly.
Agreed, even the professional gambler experience loss. The average joe will be having similar thought that the rich always wins and we're the unlucky ones. Considering it as the source of income for life is not a fair decision. It completely ruins the life, because whenever there is need of money we need to gamble. Everytime we won't be successful, when we're in hard need for something important and we've lost. The loss could even lead to mental health issues. It is good for fun, end it there.

Australia is in a good position even though they lost Usman Khawaja for a duck, Travis Head is counter attacking and scoring at run a ball and on the verge of scoring a century as he is one run short of his century and Smith played a patient knock. India needs to break this partnership if not Australia will run away with this match.
Horrible session for India. Shardul Thakur gave away so many unnecessary extras helping the Australians in more ways than one. Axar/Ashwin would have probably performed better than him even though this is a seamers pitch.

India desperately need to remove wickets quickly since Draw/Aus win look like the only results at this point.

I would call it a horrible day for the Indian team. Travis Head is really playing freely in this test match and scored 146 runs in only 156 runs. His innings really dented the game and the morale for the Indian bowlers.

Australia already scored 327 runs and lost only three wickets. The Indian bowlers really have to come hard on the 2nd day at The Oval otherwise it may be too late for the Indian team. If suppose, the Australian team is able to make any score between 500 to 600 runs, there will be a lot of pressure on the Indian batsmen.
Based on the start from the Australian team, it looked like they're playing in an average manner. At certain time interval there were fall of wickets, but the same didn't continued. Smith and Travis Head have completely changed the match scenario. We don't know how this match gets concluded. Earlier Sachin have said oval will favour spinners and for India team it is a good opportunity. Looking the performance it is quite hard against team like Australia.

LOL! 116 all out  Grin, what were Afganistan batters thinking? They forgot it is an ODI game and not T20. Hasiranga and Chameera did not give Afghan batters to go after their bowling. As expected it is not that easy to defeat Srilank on their home ground. If the Asia cup happens in Srilanka then most probably they would win it this time. The pitch is made according to the needs of Srilankan team. With this win they won the series. I personally never thought that Afganistan would play so badly in the last match. I expected them to be more competitive. I did expect a thrilling final match. None of that sort happened today.
Upon the first match win the expectation on Afghanistan increased. Even in the second ODI, Afghanistan scored close to 200 runs. In the last and much expected match, Afghanistan have done the worst performance scoring just 116 runs. Sri Lanka have chased the target in a much simple way losing just a wicket. Dushmantha Chameera have took 4 wickets for 63 runs. The bowling economy is high whereas Wanindu Hasaranga have bowled well with the best economy of 1.62rpo and took 3 wickets.

UAE vs West Indies
West Indies won the toss and decided to bat. Windies won the last match easily. I think West Indies will win today's match very easily. Even playing at home in UAE is not playing well. UAE is not performing well as West Indies are strong opponents. In today's match I think UAE will lose if West Indies are given a target of 250+ runs. West Indies will win the series if they win today's match.
West Indies won the toss and decided to bat and this match is important for West Indies because if they win today's match West Indies will win the series. On the other hand, if the UAE wins today's match, then the possibility of winning the series remains ahead of them.
United Arab Emirates need to win this match to save the series. Normally West indies is considered one of the biggest names in cricket, but the cricket of this country is not at the same level as before. Though they have been good in T20s, they haven't done that well in ODIs in recent times. Due to which their position is 10 in ODI ranking. As United Arab Emirates have not performed well and their ranking is down of the ranking list, they are more likely to lose the match. But still I expect Went Indies to win this match ‍so that the last match can be even more interesting.
United Arab Emirates winning the match is really an impossible thing considering the current performance from West Indies team. Charles (50*) and king (39*) were in good form. The scoring is 8+ runs per over, if the same continues to the 50th over then surely West Indies will reach 400+ runs. West Indies were down in ODI performance, however it is no down to UAE in any situation. So, this is going to be a sure win for West Indies.

The involvement of girls and women into cryptocurrency is very low. Compared to the previous years we were able to experience good rise in the involvement of girls and women into cryptocurrency. According to a survey from the year 2021 only 15% of girls were girls out of the entire cryptocurrency users. Maybe this could've increased as two years have passed.

Very few girls gets interested into these kind of technology based innovation. If they have made an entry, surely they'll do the best. To my knowledge I've come across women into cryptocurrency without proper understanding, just on expecting the profit outcome. Anyhow that too a good thing. Over time they'll realise the goodness of the technology and spread the word to other users.

OP have done a good job, and his sister being interested is the best about them. Maybe the investment is small, but the learning one gets is really big. The same could help in exploring opportunities available through cryptocurrencies.

SEC have sued binance, binance.us and its founder Changpeng Zhao. Offering unregistered securities to the general public is the reason behind it. More cryptocurrencies on the top order were also found to be unregistered securities. In the past 24 hrs, most of the cryptocurrencies have fallen down between 5-9% and the unexpected drop have happened. This will create some panic wave around the market. Various predictions have come and the least to reach is predicted to be $24.5k, and it is good time to buy to make some profit in the short term.

Trust me they are never going to find a true replacement for MS Dhoni. They might find someone who is a good captain but as I have been saying for a long time, MS Dhoni was the best captain for India and CSK. I actually think that he was the best captain ever in cricket. To me, there will be a debate between MS Dhoni and Mashrafe bin Mortaza because these two achieved unbelievable things with very limited resources.

Anyway, I also think that CSK should look for a player to potentially replace Dhoni. Otherwise, they are going to face a lot of problems in the upcoming years.

Dhoni was no doubt one of greatest captain India ever had. Under his captaincy India was able to win T20 and ODI world cup along with ICC champions trophy. No Indian captain has this honour. The best thing about MS is that he left international cricket at the right time and with honur, this is something not common specially in players of subcontinent. Since CSK has won IPL under his captaincy its very much clear that MS is fit for next IPL also. MS always gae surprises, lets see he has some surprise for his fans next year or not.
No captain from India hold the record of MSD. His captaincy is unique and stays cool unlike the situation. Helps the players to do their best. Not everyone have the ability perform as him. However there is also talk that he steals the show just with his captaincy. The players who were the real support to win the match gets unnoticed. During the IPL 2023 presentation ceremony he had been asked about his choice of playing the next season of IPL. He had mentioned it is all about the fitness and he wish to be part of the tournament looking upon the crowd that have come to cheer him thinking it as his last season of IPL.

In the past people innovated new games out of the existing ones. Beyond certain point we don't have anymore choice to innovate or to create new ones. This is where people move towards something that is more personal and have got its value. Different countries have got different laws related to sex and have difference in legality. Though there is prostitution, illegal sex work and other scandals happening around, sex is considered sacred. For this reason this could've been avoided to be added into sports. I'm not into the betting.

A really interesting day for betting today - other than Etcheverry nobody is a huge favorite.
I really like the odds on Ruud - Jarry is a player I don't rate at all (although he did beat Ruud this year on clay).

I'm going with -3,5 on Ruud and -6,5 on Etcheverry, odds of almost 4 with a boost.
Winning day for you. Ruud @3.5 is good odd and he have already won the match, 77-63 7-5 7-5. Much comfortable win for Ruud. Maybe if the opening set have been won by Jarry, then the match could've gone much closer. The previous encounter between the two took place in the Geneva Open, and Jarry won the match, 3-6 77-62 7-5. Maybe based on the previous match the odds could've been kept high.
631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin on: June 04, 2023, 11:56:23 PM
Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.

Teaching your children about Bitcoin isn't forcing your children to learn about bitcoin. You're trying to teach them about financial education and that's something every parent should do for their children so they have an advantage when they become older. Investing in Bitcoin will help those child have a secured future so we have to try to make our children pick interest in Bitcoin from a very early age.

Investing in Bitcoin shoudn't be a dream, instead it should be a necessity because it helps bring in money. Allow your children to chase their dream but they have to invest so that it will help them in the future and investing in Bitcoin is the easiest since it's very easy to monitor.
For this you need to start with the financial education and further move on to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. People are not ready to understand the reality. Children needs to be provided with their space to explore. Only then what is good within them and he can be directed to follow his passion. As said financial education is necessary to make his investment and future better. However it have got time. when he's fond of playing with toys if you teach about bitcoin, he may think bitcoin is a toy.

... Nadal...

right now Nadal is also injured and get a surgery. I don't think he will be able to play in 5-6 months at least.
However he is a strong player but "an old one"... and not "fit" to compete in some big tournaments.

Alcaraz is performing very well in this RG. Today against Musetti he has been superlative. Another player that I like a lot is Tsitsipas.
Against Ofner today has offered a great performance (7-5 6-3 6-0). Well Ofner is not a top player but he was enough "insidious" during the match (likewise in first set were he was in advantage for 1 breakpoint from the first game...)
Not only the leading young players, even the young ones down the order were performing good. Quite often we were able to see the underdog win the bets. At times we might feel this to be lucky, but there is real game which have brought the win to the player. It is Djokovic who is the only person who have been giving tough competence from the legendary list of players who are close to their days of retirement and concentrate on health and taking rest.

Social media came into existence to allow people to be expressive. Initially it does well and later on the same itself have turned against the democracy. Now the importance have got stagnant on particular region. Now the importance of social media is much about business and not about socializing.

Social media have made a big transition. This means earlier social media is much connective with the people in the urban regions. With the widespread and easy access things have changed and people at the rural regions were able to come together and expressive to some extent. For some people it is life-changing.

Today, Afghanistan won the match for their excellent performance from bowling to batting. The runs that Sri Lanka batted first today were not the right runs for them to win.
Afghanistan played Supervb, as from start of the match they choose bowl first which was a clever decision in Thier favor, I taught that 268 will be difficult chase for them as Afghanistan were known for Strong T20 team because of Thier batter pure power hitting but today they proved that they has ability to survive in ODI format too and can defeat top ranking team too.
In my mind credit of Thier beautiful victory goes to Ibrahim Zadran who build a long partnership and Carry on the momentum after every dismissal which help the entire team to raised his moral and generat the power of will. As a result they become victorious in first match of Thier series
In the most recent match Afghanistan displayed their skill by making the astute choice to bowl first a move that greatly benefited them. I initially thought that despite their reputation as a powerful T20 team known for their power hitting they would have a difficult time chasing a challenging mark of 268. They dispelled my reservations by showcasing their adaptability and success in the ODI format though. Ibrahim Zadran who formed a unique partnership and kept the team momentum even after each dismissal was the mastermind behind their astounding win. His fortitude and leadership played a crucial role in raising the team spirit which finally resulted in their merited victory in the first match of the series.
Choosing to bowl first is good and in the upcoming match the toss will have big role. Rather than Afghanistan it is a must win match for Srilanka. The best performance happened in the previous match, and the same can happen again. The team that have improved much on T20 is now on the track to prove its ability in ODI. In the past the team players used to make mistakes going for big shots even when the score is lower than the remaining number of balls. Finally ends up losing the match, and now they're very responsible and the team plays in a much confident manner. Lets see what happens in the upcoming match.

Looks like Clermont managed to get a draw in first half in the last minutes  Shocked and what is even more crazy is that they had a goal canceled by VAR and a missed penalty so the score could have been easily in favor for them. Now , 2nd half , PSG should make a SOLID game in order to give Messi a proper goodbye from team or maybe he will be the one scoring the victory goal Cool
The first half have ended in a draw. Clermont Foot is no down in any means. The team keeps its attacking spirit from the beginning. The goal during the additional time is really impressive. Just after a missed shot from Rashani the shot from the very close position to the centre of the goal is big from Mehdi Zeffane. The draw in the first half will make the match more aggressive in the second half. Clermont Foot placed at the 9th position on points table, still a tough contender.

Ireland have recovered well in second innings. They are now 259/6 and trail by 93 runs.Andy McBrine and Mark Adair are on the crease and they both have added 100 runs to the total. Definitely Ireland are not in a position to win this game, the best result for Ireland will be to avoid a loss by an innings. Mark Adair is highest run scorer for Ireland in this game as he is not out on 61 (50).
Congratulations to England for their outstanding performance, securing a resounding 10-wicket win. Despite the challenging situation Ireland has shown remarkable resilience in their second innings, with a score of 362 runs. The partnership between Andy McBrine and Mark Adair contributing 100 runs highlights their determination. While victory may be out of reach Ireland has only focus is on avoiding an innings defeat. Mark Adair impressive knock of 88 runs showcases his valuable contribution but Ireland set a commendably low target of just 12 runs, and Ollie Pope exceptional batting performance, scoring 205 runs, earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match award.
England team could not win by innings margin for few runs. If Ireland had reduced by 13 runs in the second innings, they would have been defeated by England by an innings in this match, but Ireland managed to erase that shame.  

England declared the innings by scoring 524 runs in the first innings against Ireland. When Ireland were bowled out for 172 in the first innings, England invited them to bat again but compared to the first innings, Ireland batted very well in the second innings. They managed to score 362 runs in the second innings which saved them from losing by an innings.
Why don't the team have similar performance in the first innings. Recently Ireland have played test matches against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and now against England. Right now the team is getting into the test cricket. Among this, it played well against Sri Lanka and scored 492 runs in one of the innings. At the end the team lost the match by an innings. So, losing by an innings could happen at any situation. I hope Ireland will perform better with time when they continue playing against different teams.
637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 03, 2023, 01:15:18 PM
I don't understand the point in having these sort of one-sided matches. Ireland is not just ready yet to face the pig-3 sides. They ever struggled against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and then how can we expect them to be competitive against England? On top of that they are missing some of their key players such as Josh Little and Craig Young (the latter as a result of an injury). I have a feeling that the decision to award them full membership in 2019 was a mistake. There is no improvement in the Irish performance for the last 4 years. In fact I would say that their performance has worsened.
Ireland is still a very weak time and their performance in these matches sums it all they cant compete with big teams on international level.
Irish cricket board should first work in their performances than send them to play outside their country.
Alot of work is required to be done on this team.
The performance of Ireland cricket team is found down in test format, whereas it have got better with T20 and ODI format of cricket. Gaining experience is must for the Ireland team to improve its performance. Compared to the first innings of the match, the performance in the second innings is really good.

Ireland team have failed in its bowling. Batting is really good and if few of the players make strong scores, surely Ireland can easily reach 350+ runs in any innings. The bowling order is not at a good position to support the team.

I think it might happen in a span of 10 years. The way IPL is growing right now I do not see this as an impossible task. The only problem is that I do not trust cricket to actually stay alive after 20 years. Unless ICC changes some rules. Cricket is not going to survive only throughout the Indian and Pakistani players, if you know what I mean.
Cricket will be well and alive as long as people are interested in them and the reason IPL and India is able to generate huge revenue than any other country is because of the fan base and the ability to fill any stadium whenever a match is played and the TRP rating they are receiving. Australia, New Zealand and England along with the other Asian countries are the major teams and it will be like that for the decades to come and the present fan base wont be diminishing.
Agreed, it is the followers that make cricket more popular and people of India celebrates it. In Bangladesh for a win against India, the government declared it a national holiday. This is how countries have given importance to cricket. Along with these countries more countries have grown well amidst the infrastructure and economic situation in the country. Few of which were Nepal and Afghanistan which will turn to be strong team in the coming years. European countries celebrate football in similar style and Asian countries does it with cricket.

Let's even assume this is possible, how often can the chaces come, for the fact that someone might be lucky to jam this kind of opportunity doesn't makes it applicable for everyone intending for it as welll, there are many ways we can earn through gambling and it's likely we earn upto that daily or not upto that, but the sacrifice needed could not be afforded by everyone, which means they may not be able to pay the price for such, I've seen people working upto three different jobs per day in gambling and earn a good income but they are very extremely busy and got all it takes to be employable.
It is gambling, there is no way to determine how often to get the chance for winning. Luck is one of the big factors in gambling besides the system has been set by the owners to make people hard to win. Because of this matter, we have no way to get the chance to earn money regularly. So, how can someone expect to earn $100 daily? Not sure how OP can assume about earning $100 daily, he may be a new gambler and not really understand how gambling works. If OP is an experienced gambler, he must know that earning daily is a bit impossible. Moreover, if he expects to get money of a certain amount every day.


With gambling we can't expect things to happen same as always. At times we need to experience loss, and we should have the mind to accept it than following to recover what we've lost. Even $1 is hard to be earned on the regular basis. One could have $500 in his wallet and he finds $1 to be earned easily. Just for the dollar winning people end up losing entire $500. This is how gambling works. We don't know how it all happened, but what we experience is completely upon our lack of emotional control. Over time some gets lucky and some understands how to handle things. Whatever the possibility we've got, it is impossible to make $100 regularly.

The main purpose behind ChatGPT is to serve the human beings with assistance. Having assistance will help in getting works done faster. Maybe this is how Sam Altman looks ChatGPT, but surely it'll have some destruction in the job market in my understanding. When something is progressive, there'll be something that needs to give way. This is how the job market gonna get affected with the existence of ChatGPT.
