681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: May 25, 2023, 11:46:24 PM
it is strange to hear that a country prohibits lottery games, to be honest I see no reason for this ban, lottery games are generally the ones that make people spend less money playing, to be more precise in my country for example in all Every corner of the city has Gambling, from slots and lotteries to physical casinos and everything is legal, the lottery ticket in my country costs 0.25$ each lottery ticket and the prize ranges from $50,000 to $100,000, but there are also many types of lotteries in every corner of the cities of my country and until today I still haven't seen anyone from my country commit suicide or sell any property to buy a lottery ticket, this happens because as Gambling  in my country have been allowed for many years, then the people are used to

now when people are still not used to gambling because the government prohibits it then we have chaos, we have more people who go looking for clandestine ways to gamble and get easily anxious when they gamble and easily become addicted to gambling because there is no psychological follow-up , the biggest problem of banning gambling is very big and serious, this is not a solution, certain government decisions become very strange, because look: in your country there are alcoholic beverages, and without a doubt you see drunk people fighting and creating problems, but governments do not ban alcoholic beverages, on the contrary, they even show advertisements for beers and wines on TV
Lottery games may be the cheapest gambling platform but it is also the lowest chance to win. The percentage to hit the jackpot is way below 0.0000 percent and there are times you will think the game is rigged because the winners are not announced although I know it is for their own protection to avoid being robbed, kidnapped, or whatever evil intent there is.
If this is banned in other places then it must be for the reason of that. The platform was rigged and no proof of winners came out to tell the story about their jackpot win.
The thing about gambling is, it can be continuous and prone to spending a lot of money while in alcoholic beverages, people who are drinking it will somehow get drunk and stop for a day. But it's a different era now, gambling platforms are also advertised on local channels so there's really no difference anymore when using that comparison.
I completely agree with you friend, lottery is mostly the easiest game to play when it comes to gambling, but like you said, it's one of the hardest to win, and this is based on the fact that millions of people participates in it probably due to its simplicity, I can tell that, there are probably millions of lottery players out there who have never played any other gambling game aside from lottery, this is simply because, lottery is the only game they know how to play, or should I say participate in..
All the same though, lottery is always a good activity to participate in, since it mostly involves very little amount of money, even though the win chance is very slim..
Lottery is good in one way for the gamblers, which means even on addiction the gamblers won't experience big loss. Maybe if more tickets were bought users might go buying more tickets. Usually people spend regularly specific time period. This means people who have been spending continuously wagering on different casino games can have little diversion from casino games.

Dubai want it to be the central hub for fintech atleast for the Asian countries. This have directed the country to support bitcoin and other form of growth connected with bitcoin. The Bitcoin tower will surely be a big structure and for sure it'll have more connect with the bitcoin. Country that completely depends on tourism for its economy apart from the oil source have got its plan to make the city and the entire country to be an tourist attraction spot. So that, even if the oil source gets limited the country can stay strong with its tourism economy.

The match against Gujarat will be relatively tough for Mumbai Indians as tomorrow's match will be played at Ahmedabad Stadium which is basically considered as the home venue of Gujarat Titans. Ahmedabad's wicket is a bit batting friendly compared to Chennai so we can see big scores in this stadium. 
It will be difficult for Mumbai Indians to win because Gujarat Titans are consistent in bowling and batting but Mumbai Indians are only consistent in batting although LSG won the match against Naipur because of bowling but a bowler will not do well every day. The rest of the team has to play with a lot of responsibility if Mumbai Indians have any chance of making it to the finals.
The Mumbai Indians are expecting a difficult opponent in the Gujarat Titans in tomorrow match at Ahmedabad Stadium. The Titans will probably have the upper hand because the game is taking place at Gujarat home field. Additionally the pitch at Ahmedabad is reputed to be better for batting which could lead to games with high scoring. Mumbai Indians may struggle against Gujarat reliable bowling and batting performances despite their great batting abilities. While their bowlers helped them defeat Naipur in the previous match relying exclusively on a single bowler outstanding performance is not a sound plan. If the Mumbai Indians are to qualify for the finals every member of the team must take responsibility and play above and beyond.

The Gujarat Titans are going to be very hungry for a win in this match. So Mumbai Indians will have to be careful. Mumbai Indians are performing really well. I hope they will be able to continue that good performance in the next match as well.

But it is really hard to credit which team is going to win. After all, the winner is going to be playing in the finals. CSK is already in the finals. People did predict that GT is going to be playing in the finals against CSK. This prediction has been going on for a long time. But I am not sure. I think Mumbai Indians might actually end up playing in the finals.
Mumbai Indians played against Gujarat Titans in two matches in this season. Gujarat Titans won the match by 55 runs venued at Narendra Modi Stadium. In the match played at Wankhede Mumbai Indians won by 27 runs. The qualifier 2 is to be played in the Narendra Modi Stadium.

More and more predictions were coming around. Based on the previous encounter it looks like Narendra Modi Stadium is good batting pitch. We can expect the score to be 200+ from the team batting first.

Maybe Laszlo Hanyecz could've known well about the development and by purpose he could've bought pizza in exchange for bitcoin. His contribution is big, he should be recognised. Not everyone were able to understand and believe in it at the early days. Just because he have understood well about the network he had developed the GPU mining when rest were doing CPU mining.

The big number of bitcoin spend on the pizza could've changed his living. He feels happy for what he have done to the bitcoin network.
685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My mistake was making my involvement with Bitcoin public on: May 25, 2023, 07:17:16 PM
If I'm not wrong OP should change the way he introduce bitcoin to new people. Atleast prior to introduction we should understand what kind of people we're talking with. Not everyone have the mind to accept it, when they've got good sum of fiat. Maybe thats the reason why uncle keeps saying something against bitcoin. It is always necessary to make some connect with the public regarding bitcoin. One should not expose that he's bitcoiner. We should simply introduce about the existence or while discussion happens relative to technology.
686  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling is a choice. on: May 24, 2023, 10:11:32 PM
When we get into gambling we're into it with our conscious. If it had happened by compulsion then it is wrong. When we enter by our own understanding, then there is no use of blaming others. The street gambles were simple tricks same as that people do magic. We can't be sure as well as those sticks and stones are much used to them. They know well in what way ot need to be dropped so to fail the person who had placed the bet.

Only advantage we've got over the online gambling platforms is the provably fair functioning. We can't expect this with the street gamble. Whether we get into gambling online or offline our minds need to be prepared enough to experience the loss. If by luck we get winning, just enjoy it. This is how one needs to participate into gambling activities.
687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: May 24, 2023, 09:35:29 PM
It is the person himself need to analyse and understand why he/she should buy bitcoin. Through the discussion OP could've got different reasons, and finally it is his expectations and the belief based on which he needs to make the buying. When it comes to bitcoin, it serves multiple needs. In all there were chances of making money as well as using it as an alternate.

OP's friend have said he can be ____buying bitcoin. The gap can be filled with rich, poor, frustrated,fail etc. The gap gives a perfect connect when you understand well about bitcoin and follow the market. In each and everything there is need of investment, and the same is with bitcoin. The capital is a must and that can be done buying,next its upto the user whether to hold for long term profit, get into trading for regular earning or prefer it for transaction needs etc.

Martinez Pedro got quite a satisfying victory over Dan Added with a 2 - 0 result.
I didn't watch the match until it was over but at the start of the game Martinez Pedro dominated the game in my opinion so that it could provide an opportunity to choose Martinez Pedro as the winner.
Even though I won, it was a shame from this match that the Odds that I got were quite low.

Feel happy that you've won the match. The first set of the match was a real fight and finally Martinez won at the tie breaker 7-68. Maybe if you've placed the bet at those moments of close fight you could've got the chance to make the bet at better odds. The second set went completely in favour of Martinez as he was able to win 6-2.
689  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: May 24, 2023, 08:22:41 PM


Bitcoin evangelism: A team of Bitcoin Beach community members visited the Taquillo school in El Salvador to educate the students on the ABCs of Bitcoin and were also kind enough to give the students some free sats so that they can be able to send and receive among themselves, and get a better understanding of how the technology works.
Source

The country that have got 6-7million population seems to be easy to give awareness. The beach community taking it forward and doing the right thing. Maybe the government can also contribute to the community or form more teams that helps in educating the children. If the children were educated and well aware of bitcoin, then the success of the country's bitcoin adoption will go high beyond the expectation. Maybe this can take more time, because it takes time for all these kids to have a transition from a student to an entrepreneur and into different jobs. A much appreciable effort from the community.

Most of the peoples were concern about Mumbai bowling but things completely under their control with after 12 over 90 runs and 6 outs mean now we have second qualifier between GT vs MI which could be good encounter.
Today we have good batting and bowing from Mumbai specially their bowlers which are no experienced done good job and not allowed LSG aggressive batting to have anything from here just Stoinis done some resistance but after his run-out now Mumbai can feel safe.

Today we have no big score from any Mumbai batsmen but still all were in good touch which helps their team for having target like 182 Naveen-ul-Haq's four wickets in vain with Mumbai excellent all-rounder performance.

Mumbai Indians performed really well. When at first I saw that the target was only 183 I did not believe that Mumbai Indians would be able to successfully defend that. I thought that target was good but not probably good enough, as in this season's IPL we had a lot of big scores being chased down.

But Mumbai Indians proved me wrong. They have successfully defended the target. And they have also done that with style. 81 is a big margin. Even though they did not score very big they had certainly won with a big margin. Is it the biggest so far in this season's IPL by the way?
Importantly LSG was the only team to win its last three league matches. The win margins were low, however the team should've got the winning form. Throughout this season's IPL we were able to watch good number of matches having big targets placed and the targets easily chased. Also LSG is the highest scorer of the 2023 IPL. It had also chased 212 runs against RCB in the last ball and recorded a win by a wicket.

We don't know what is behind the father's mind. Simple understanding, he believes gambling is wrong. On what basis he concludes is of his personal experiences, personal understanding or can be on religious factors. This incident can be taken on the positive way as well as on the negative note.

Think of a situation in which the son use the winning lavishly and ends his living into another track. Such incidents have taken place with different people winning big money. Maybe what the father did is right on such occasion. Same time the money could've been invested on something or it could've been just changed to some cryptocurrency and kept hold.
692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: May 24, 2023, 07:15:06 PM
Bitcoin used to be the preferred one. Apart, ethereum used to be the lucky one. Dogecoin and tron were used when I used to be much serious in gambling. Most of the time I switch between coins to check the luck. Not everytime this works, at times this had helped me overcome the losses. However the overall statistics of my gambling history is in a big loss.

Whenever the market is down I prefer gambling with bitcoin. This is a way to increase the holding and the value rise can be experienced when the market turns bullish.

What a match it is. how LSG lost to MI by 81 runs. such a result was not expected at all. LSG have been considered a good team in IPL but they lost all their wickets for 101 runs and lost to Mi by a huge margin on this match. I was really disappointed by this match. many of me here supported LSG and bet for him but in all cases LSG surprised everyone today.
Akash Madhwal is the find of the season for Mumbai Indians and another wonderful spell of bowling in a crucial match and Mumbai Indians are back in form as usual like the other seasons during the final stages of the IPL and it looks like we will be seeing another final between Mumbai and Chennai and Chennai lifting another trophy  Wink.
It looked like Mumbai Indians were down the points table, but they were winning matches from the beginning. Its like they lost matches on every two matches win and in the final matches they were dominating with continuous wins. Though the performance from Rohit Sharma is not to the expectation, the team players were making a good support for the team to reach this level. Even at this situation Rohit Sharma have scored 250+ runs in this season of IPL. If Mumbai Indians wins the qualifier 2, then surely this trophy goes to them. I'm not sure how could Chennai make it.

Al Nassr has been performing very well this season but today's game was very interesting. Meanwhile, Al Shabab was a standout player with Christian Guanca scoring two goals with his leg magic shortly after the start of the match. Anderson Talisca scored a goal for Al Nassr in the 42nd minute, two minutes after Al Shabab scored the last goal. Al Nassr scored two more goals before and shortly after half time. A huge win for Al Nassr with a one goal win and they are second in the points table. And a better performance later on will see him top the points table as Cristiano Ronaldo is still capable of scoring goals when he drives towards the goal post with great speed in his aged body.
Two more matches left for both the teams. Al-Ittihad will be with increased pressure than Al-Nassr. It looks like Al-Nassr have got adopted to the second position. Al-Ittihad needs to keep its first place it needs to win both the matches. Both were against Al Feiha and Al-Taee. Both teams can be easily won by Al-Ittihad. Lets see if Al-Nassr team along with Ronaldo could do any miracles to reach the first position. Al-Nassr matches were against Ettifaq and Al Fateh, and match against Al Fateh seems to be little fighting.

Yesterday we saw three different players from three different teams scoring century. Both Kohli & Gill got back to back century. Whereas Green got his first century in IPL. The most interesting match of yesterday's was between GT and RCB. Tomorrow GT will be playing againt CSK in the first playoffs. According to me GT is a much consistent team than CSK. They have a far better batting line up and good attacking spinners. CSK has Convey and the best captain in IPL MSD. I feel GT will go to finals if not then I feel CSK might pick this year trophy.
That was a big day.. in terms of consistent performance it is Gujarat Titans team for sure. CSK have performed good throughout the season, but its dependence over Convay is much. Matches in which Convoy fails, CSK suffer to make big runs. On the bowling side it doesn't have the players that have the confidence as that of Rashid Khan. The captaincy is the advantage that CSK holds at the moment, and we don't know how effective this gonna work in the qualifier. Earlier in the match between CSK and GT, it was a much comfortable win for Gujarat Titans winning by 5 wickets and 4 balls left in chasing 178 runs.

Based on the data regarding the matches played between the two, it looks like Newcastle United have won 57 matches out of 133 matches played between the two. Leicester City have lost three of its last four matches played against Newcastle United. Newcastle United at the third position itself a confirmation that today's match is going to be a win for them. Already match have begun and 10 minutes passed without a goal.
697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much does Bitcoin affect other cryptocurrency? on: May 22, 2023, 06:54:47 PM
Users who have travelled with cryptocurrency for a long will know about the reality of the market. Nowhere bitcoin push other cryptocurrencies down. It is the market that is developed to follow the footprints of bitcoin. This makes altcoins follow bitcoin and during the altcoin season we were able to experience bullish move with altcoins against the bitcoin market.

Altcoins were good and were developed for some purpose. Most of the time new cryptocurrencies were promoted making comparison against bitcoin. However none stay high in the market, so the base of bitcoin is very strong that it directs the rest of the market. Most of the time the development is the prime reason that make cryptocurrencies fail and it is not the bitcoin.

Today is historic for all people who love and believe in bitcoin. Every one that loves bitcoin deserves to mark this day with some sort of celebration, if not in  a big way, but in their own little way. Eating pizza is very appropriate for the day for those who can especially if they can pay with bitcoins. This day will always be remembered for the years to come and the value of the bitcoins will always be compared to the value of the present day each time. Bitcoin deserves to be celebrated.
It is the day bitcoin got rebirth. Maybe if that incident haven't happened, even now we could've seen bitcoin to be of some value. It might have never been this high. Previously we used to have more promotion and events connected with the day. This time we weren't able to see much of it. Laszlo Hanyecz, the guy who is the prime reason behind the incident enjoyed two Papa John's pizzas. Remembering the incident we were able to see more promotions availed on this day and cryptocurrency users remember it doing their own pizza's.
699  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: May 22, 2023, 06:17:29 PM
I think side jobs are very necessary, I feel it myself. I currently work as a private employee, and the salary I get is certainly not enough to meet all household needs, therefore I need a side job, especially when I have free time after I work at my main job. On the other hand, by having a side job, we are not worried if one day unexpected things happen, such as a reduction in employees, at least we can still have the side job that we have been doing so far. and for employees who already have a large salary, I think they also have to have a side job, of course they will have higher necessities of life that must be met every day. because basically people will find it more difficult to lower their lifestyle than to increase it
Be it side hustle or business, an employee needs another means money. There is high level of inflation in the society and if you are not a high ranked employee, your salary may not be able to sustain your needs and wants. This is the reason why everyone needs a sidel hustle as my country men will call it to sustain them.
More the streams of income, more will be the stability of life. The growing inflation is a major reason, another thing is to go with the development. When we have single income, then it is possible to have our life moving and there won't be life change or transition to next level of living. Just think of making a small earning through trading, it will separately add to our finance. What we earn primary will help in the survival whereas the additional earnings help with the betterment of life.

It would be very nice if Messi would play football here, but where 1 sheep is over the dam, many will follow as the saying goes. I wouldn't rule out that, to be honest. But perhaps not all footballers are only after money. In this competition you naturally have little challenge from a sporting point of view, only the Asian Champions League could still be a nice challenge, but apart from that it ends somewhere I think. And Ronaldo and Messi face each other again in a match, when will we see side by side again?
Messi would undoubtedly be the new King of this League, for now the reign is held by CR7, in general the areas have been very happy to see CR7 in action on their land, as far as I am concerned, it is the land where they are, I think that the best decision for CR7 is that he left for this Arab football, in Europe he may have done badly, if Ten Hag, who for me is a very bad coach, made him look bad, then I think he wanted to be famous at the expense From him, these things are not good, but it is clearly seen to be so, I hope that Messi can reach Arab football and can be protagonists alongside CR7, even against his team.
There is lot of discussion whether Messi will enter the Saudi Arabia Pro League or not. As said his presence will sure be big thing for the league after Ronaldo's entry. Earlier Ronaldo made a statement, it is time to have good football in the Asian circle and he have come for that. As his words, after him more people have begun to watch football where cricket is dominant. Messi supporting the same will help in the growth of more footballers. The talk about Ronaldo could've never been this high if he continued to play for Manchester United.
