After India scored 410 runs against Netherlands I naturally thought maybe India would bowl Netherlands out within 100 runs but Netherlands are a good team and they have proved that they can fight against any team before and also in the second innings against India. Netherlands managed to score 208 runs for 6 wickets after 42 overs. In this situation if Netherlands lose to India then I would like to salute Netherlands as they have performed well throughout the whole tournament of the World Cup.
If we think a little with the performance of the Sri Lanka match that happened a few days ago, then we can easily understand that compared to that, Netherlands scored quite well. Scoring 250 against India is not a easy task. Especially for this season. If they collect 100 with the great bowlers India have, you'd think they're OK according to their position, but when they make 250, the team is certainly not bad. Congratulations to the Netherlands team in this tournament because despite being a weak team in cricket, they played a very professional game. I never thought that Netherlands would beat India. Because where the big and powerful teams are being defeated again and again, many people think that the main thing is not to win but to compete. |

Melbourne Stars-W vs Melbourne Renegades-W
Today was the game of the low level team in points table which was Melbourne Renegades-W and Melbourne Stars-W teams. In this game, Melbourne Stars team won toss and elected to bat first. I think all games of this league which has been played in past was held in Junction Oval stadium. Melbourne Stars-W first batting in pitch and won this game by r runs just. M.Lannig (C) performance in today's game was brilliant because she scored 67 runs in 49 balls and she hitted six 4s and one 6s with not dismissed. Few batsman of Melbourne Stars-W team was dismissed at low runs just making 1 to 2 runs only.
Melbourne Stars women won by 4 runs against Melbourne Renegades women. From Melbourne Renegades women Meg Lanning batting performance is outstanding scored 67 runs unbeaten in just 49 balls and Annabel Sutherland also scored 24 runs in 16 balls but failed to chase down the 145 runs target by 4 runs short. Melbourne Stars women bowling is very good Sarah Coyte picked 2 wickets by giving 32 runs in 4 overs and Harmanpreet Kaur also picked 1 wicket. The player of the match is Annabel Sutherland for his amazing all round performance scored 24 runs in 16 balms and also picked up 4 important wicktes by giving 22 runs in 4 overs. There is a big difference between women's T20 and men's T20 cricket matches. Because men can chase a big score but women can't. In today's Melbourne Renegades Women vs Melbourne Stars Women match, Melbourne Stars batted first and set them a target of 144 runs. Melbourne Renegades had a good batting performance from the start. Harmanpreet Kaur, Tammy Beaumont and Hayley Matthews have been batting well. At one point I was almost certain that Melbourne Renegades would win the match. The betting sites also gave the betting odds in the same way but they lost by just 4 runs in the end. Two boundaries were needed in the last over but they failed. |

Yes, every gambler will try to recover money when he loses. Be it an addict or a non-addict it is a common thing for which we can never say it as a main reason for addiction. It takes more than a few symptoms to determine whether a gambler is addicted or not. among these main features is that those who spend long periods of time in gambling are more likely to become addicted. When a gambler spends more time in gambling than usual he is bound to become addicted. Moreover, those who have high expectations in gambling are also more likely to become addicted. No, I don't think it's a common thing for casual players, casual players imply that they can stop whenever they want to unlike addicts that will try their best and do anything that they have to do to gamble again and I didn't even said that chasing losses is the main reason for addiction, yes it does take a few symptoms but when one shows, shouldn't you consider doing something about it especially if that symptom you're talking about is chasing losses because it's damaging to that person and the person around them financially. It's a general belief that gamblers are always chasing their losses whenever they're losing in their bet but from my own personal experience, I don't think that belief is true. There are gamblers who will always decide not to continue with their gambling activities whenever they're losing instead of gambling more in their quest to recover from their already lost games. Trying to recover the money that's lost in gambling immediately haven't worked like everyone tried it have expected so I don't think it's wise doing it. Yes, it will not be the same for everyone. There are many gamblers who are very excited to recover their losses quickly and then lose rather than gain. There are many who try to get out of betting after losing. The difference here is gambling knowledge. Many would assume that those who have enough money will be chasing and those who don't can take a break from gambling. But only those who have money and don't try to recover their losses quickly can be safe form gambling. The more a gambler rushes, the more likely he is to lose. |

As I expected India to score 400 today, they set a huge target of 411. India's collection was 91 runs in the first 10 overs. But India collected 120 runs in 11-30 overs. And India collected 199 runs in the last 20 overs. Iyer and Rahul batted brilliantly. Rahul's strike rate was 159 and Iyer's strike rate was 136. India will win today by at least 200 runs. Netherlands batsmen are not experienced enough. Also every Indian bowler is in very good form now. In the second over, Netherlands lost the wicket of their opener Berresi.
India is doing well in every match they have now become an Unrivaled cricket team. A situation has been created in this tournament where any team that plays against them is sure to lose. In today's match, it was known from the beginning that India will win the match. Various sports betting platforms have placed only 0.01 odds in India's favor. India won the match. Through this match India team has made itself more confident. Now 400 score is not too difficult for them. Although it is difficult to score such big against good teams. India and New Zealand will fight in the next match. Since India's form is so good, disappointment will work in the opposition. |

Hold is Gold As long as you hold your investment, you will have a different incentive and you can at least think that this investment will change your position at some point.
When I saw a post by CZ of Binance “If you can't hold you can't get rich. Since then the word hold has become an important word for me. Because every investor wants to reach that dream place. As easily as we take the word hold, many of us do not reach the level of mentality required to truly hold in reality. After buying Bitcoin and holding it, investors come across obstacles that they have to mentally battle. In particular, adverse market behavior can sometimes place a holder in a hostile environment. At that unexpected moment only those who can hold them with strong hands will be able to hold. Moreover, we all know that behind every success there is some painful history which we can overcome to reach that place of success. Easy to hold but very difficult to hold for long term. It is only when an investor battles with his psychological side that he has the opportunity to hold it for the long term that he is able to see the desired moment of Bitcoin. Investors must pay attention to emotional issues with patience in long-term holdings. |

Bitcoin has done well to people, OP, you are very lucky to have made such a fortune in the short term, bitcoin as a volatile asset is an investment that appreciates and also rises in price, OP, I must congratulate you,
Absolutely OP is a lucky person because the price of Bitcoin has been going up ever since he invested. There are many investors who have to wait for a long time after investing but OP has managed to do that very quickly. I think OP is more pleasure with that. If he had to wait for a long time, he might not have been able to enjoy this time. On the one hand he has profited and on the other hand he is completing his marriage. It can be said that he got money at the time he needed it. Bitcoin has changed life for many like OP. Hopefully those who are encouraged to invest in Bitcoin as a newbie will also get the results they expect from Bitcoin. |

United States want to maintain their authoritative behavior in every place in the world and that is why they are so eager to enact such laws. When they are unable to take control, they try to impose by enacting various laws. The SEC is working as a major tool for them. Trying to take control crypto currency but only in BTC they could not control. They will certainly fail to control it if we move away from those centralized platforms. No matter how hard they try, they can't control it. Bitcoin would completely collapse if it was controlled by such an entity.  https://bitcoiner.guide/nokyconly/The main enemy in the cryptocurrency world is “KYC” and this KYC completely diverts the religion of cryptocurrency. Only one major feature of cryptocurrency is that it would work against the conventional financial system. It would have no centralization. It is completely independent, anonymous and supports transparency. But if users are made KYC then that freedom, transparency, anonymity everything will be disappear. US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Roger Marshall were the first to propose such legislation that would require every cryptocurrency-related corporation or those associated with such services to perform KYC as a bank. So i think The purpose for which cryptocurrency was born that will go in vain. It can be said that KYC is like killing cryptocurrency by strangulation. |

New Zealand had a chance today to stay in contention for the semifinals but New Zealand failed there. New Zealand picked up the first nine wickets very quickly but New Zealand had to wait a long time to pick up the last wicket due to which Sri Lanka's first innings collection went from embarrassing to good. The target for New Zealand was that if they could secure victory against Sri Lanka in twenty overs with the fall of fewer wickets, Pakistan would need to win by a minimum margin of 300 runs against England to progress to the next round. Beating England by 300 runs was impossible for Pakistan to catch so definitely New Zealand would have played the semi-final but New Zealand couldn't do it. Batting 23 overs secured a 5 wicket win against Sri Lanka due to which their net run rate is not very comfortable. If Pakistan can beat England by a big margin in the next match, then Pakistan will make a great chance to play in the semi-finals.
Beating England by 300 runs is an impossible task for Pakistan. While it's feasible for Pakistan to score 500 and restrict England to 211, the scenario is only applicable if Pakistan wins the toss. If England wins the toss and elects to bat first, the situation changes. In my opinion, New Zealand will likely progress, and they should focus on their next match. Is it possible to create such a gap for Pakistan? Although we often hear in cricket, things happen in cricket that are beyond expectations. England's condition is very bad in this tournament but even if Pakistan has a chance to win by making such a big margin, it is almost impossible. We can say England is bad team in this session but they will not perform badly. So New Zealand will definitely be ahead in the last four. Moreover, New Zealand's early performances in some of the matches have been good and they will surely be able to keep up a competitive match against other opponents. |

Paksitan chances for semifinals are almost ended because thier chances were completely dependent on sirilankan team win but unfortunately they unable to win this match and also not even stop thier opponent to win against them with small margin which is really disappointing because such run rate problems will create huge trouble for paksitan because now paksitan has to win against England with 287 runs which is currently looking impossible and also while chasing they has to chase England target on 16 balls which is also impossible. So now India will face NewZeland in Mumbai Venue while paksitan has to just play against England to compete formality and then on the way to paksitan
The only interest left in game between Pakistan and England is whether England reserve there slot in upcoming ICC champions trophy or not. Four teams are are now confirmed for semi finals, while there are some hypothetical scenarios in which Pakistan and Afghanistan can qualify for the semi finals. England have to make sure that there NRR in last game remains above Sri Lanka so that they can participate in ICC champions trophy. Sri Lanka performed very poorly against New Zealand. But here New Zealand has managed to gain a big advantage. They batted only 23 overs and won the match by 5 wickets. Due to which New Zealand team is now ahead with good points in NRR. New Zealand is currently stay in the fourth position. It is almost impossible for Pakistan and Afghanistan to reach the last four. Because New Zealand's NRR point is 0.743. It will be very difficult for the Pakistan team to overcome it. If Pakistan can win by a big margin against England on 11th, it may be possible but it will be a very difficult task. On the other Afghanistan also will fail. |

This is certainly a good improvement, because it will certainly help and come in handy as the lightning is an alternate route to the solutions of the congestion and piled up transaction in the Bitcoin mempool which is caused by the use of the Bitcoin Blockchain to process payment of alternative coins like the pepe and meme coins. This congestion was experience recently this year when there was a sudden increase in value of these coins and the demand became high which caused clog and increase in price of Bitcoin.The Bitcoin lightning network is certainly a good intervention into the BATM in El Salvador.
In 2023, when Nayib Bukele announced in front of thousands of people that he would make his country tax-free for all kinds of technological goods and services, form the moment Salvador has been the focus of various crypto giant companies in that country. After Bitcoin's adoption as legal tender, there were some negative comments when Nayib Bukele told them to trust Bitcoin. Currently, Bitcoin is bullish again and the value of their Bitcoin holdings is also increasing at a massive rate. All those negative commenters are unrepentant now. It is not difficult to predict the future of today's El Salvador. From Bitcoin adoption to the present, Good breeze begins with the direction Bukele has taken on the technological side. Recently Athena Bitcoin company in El Salvador will integrate 100 ATM booths with Lightning Network which is a good move and they will expand this activity across the country within the next year. Now El Salvador is going to be a role model for Bitcoin adoption for many developed countries around the world. |

Looks like the Dutch won't qualify for the ICC champions trophy 2025 sadly since they will most probably stay in last position.
Netherlands have only one match left, and it is against India. There is no possibility for them to win against India. So, we can keep Netherlands out of the Champions Trophy journey. We will also miss one team among England, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy. Both New Zealand and Pakistan will also try their best to qualify for the semifinals of this world cup. The remaining matches are going to be interesting for sure. World Cup 2023 matches are almost over. In total we will get only 8 matches. But everyone's attention is the most on these last matches. Netherlands had their best ever performance as they beat South Africa. And the strongest team this season is India against whom more or less everyone can predict how Netherlands will perform. Despite winning only two matches, they have a lot to gain in this World Cup. Hopefully they will come back stronger than this in the next World Cup. But the concern about the upcoming match is whether they will be able to bat 40 overs against India? Because strong teams fail to play 50 overs against them. |

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.
If gambling is involved in work then there will be disruption of concentration at work. Not only as a gambler but for any work that man should be given proper time. Whose work should be evaluated. Gambling is easy so professionals should never gamble while working. Why are you including gambling in your regal duties if you consider gambling as an addiction? It will frustrate you on the one hand and on the other hand it will destroy your work performance. So don't do anything that will affect your personal and family life as well. Many of us do this by gambling in office hour which must be avoided. Gambling during this time is not possible to do good research and thus the chances of losing is high. |

Netherlands lost by 160 runs to England today by a big margin. From the start of the match, it was clear that the Netherlands would never win the match against England. The way England performed in today's match, if they could have performed in the previous matches, then it would have been possible for them to survive in the semi-finals.
England is not in a good position in this tournament but everyone knows that they are a good team. It was already known how the condition of today's match will be. Because Netherlands is far behind compared to England. In terms of wins, both teams have won two matches. Netherlands did fairly well as a team. But to fight against top class cricket teams, there is no option to improve their standard of play. This team has not yet had the experience of playing a target of 339 runs. On the field we saw the same situation as Netherlands lost all their wickets for just 179 runs. Teja Nidamanuru performed well in this team. He scored the highest runs in the team. He remained unbeaten despite his personal collection of 41. |

It is very difficult for an addicted fellow to trade with caution in gambling, but some techniques can be useful to an addicted gambler, they should not put all their hope in a bet that they staked, I know that it is not easy but it is possible if they try it. gambling has ruined people's lives, so it is even better not to be involved, if you know that you are easily carried away by some things, I know that people involve themselves in gambling. They perceive that, it is the easiest method of making money, my advice is that gambling is very addictive, and we should avoid getting ourselves into it, because quitting is difficult especially when you have not win, you will want try your possible way to win and this might be unsuccessful for some time, in some case the person might not even win but he or she continue wasting money.
Many of us treat gambling badly because we lose there. My question is how can I call gambling bad if I do everything according to my own and no one forces me. How do those who benefit from gambling view gambling? What I want to say is that I don't want to put any blame on gambling as I am responsible for good and bad. As a general advice that is always said this is not a money making place. One should not be greedy in the gambling space. If a gambler does not accept all these advice, what is the point of blaming gambling? We gamblers need to get our intentions right first. I think if the intention or aim is right then gambling cannot have any bad impact. |

Weird things going on in Afghanistan vs Australia match. Maxwell can't run (or even walk), so at this point the batsmen are just trying to hit boundaries and nothing else. I believe that at this point it will be better if Adam Zampa comes to bat instead of Maxwell. That said, I don't know whether he will be allowed to bat again if he retire. Cummins has so far scored 11 runs from 66 balls. This is going to be one of the slowest innings in the history of ODI cricket. 43 runs are needed from 40 balls now. Afghanistan still at an advantage, I would say.
Maxwell can't run. He is also having trouble walking. Still he is batting great. Australia team now needs 25 runs from 30 balls. The match is completely under Australia's control. Maxwell as set batsmen. It will only be good for Australia if he is at the crease. Even if he fails to run, if he can hit 2/1 more boundaries, the match will be completely under Australia's control. We are watching an incredible match. After losing 4 wickets for 49 runs and 7 wickets for 91 runs, I never imagined the match to be so competitive. I thought Australia's innings would end before 150. Maxwell is still unbeaten with 177 runs. Bad luck to the Afghanistan team. They got opportunities that I don't know if anyone else gets. Since Maxwell will not be able to take single runs due to injury, boundaries will have to be taken. Maxwell seems to send almost every ball to the boundary. It is a shame for the Afghan team. Apart from Rashid Khan and Nabi, their team is yet to have a good bowler. 7 wickets fell before long but Afghanistan could not secure their win. Another thing is that if the match catch is missed then the match is also missed which is happened today. After getting life the batsman must behave aggressively.The inexperience of the Afghan team is responsible for the loss in today's match. |

Family of gamblers are fear about their future because gambling is not consider as a loyal field but everyone consider gambler as a bad person who never think about his family and are in Struggle to earn lots of money in a single bet but unfortunately they loss again and again and finally make threats for family which then feel insecure everywhere. There is no mistake of gamblers family but a single person spoil the career and future of whole family.
Again, a person who is addicted can be a burden on his family where he would be using the kitchen money into gambling, making life tough for the family but usually a person who plays with a plan, who has allocated certain money separate from gambling, his family won't be facing any such conditions. Also, we forget that Gambling is not all about losing, you can win too. There are people who have won big amounts and managed to change their lifestyle of themselves and their families. A person who is addicted to gambling will prioritize his gambling more than his daily needs, and he can indeed use his family's money to gamble because he will double the amount of money. But he won't be able to get it easily and will even lose all his money if he can't control himself while gambling. And if someone has a serious gambling addiction, it can destroy their household because problem after problem will come while they don't know what to do to solve the problem. Only by becoming aware of his gambling addiction and asking for help from others can he begin to reduce his gambling addiction and even cure his gambling addiction. Yes a gambler will only give top priority to his gambling nothing else is bigger than gambling to him. Addicted gamblers can't walk away from gambling if they want. I strongly believe that he will not calm down until he loses all his money. Just as an addicted gambler destroys his own wealth, side by side losses his family wealth. If the gambler is aware of his addiction then he will realize that his gambling addiction has caused a lot of damage. If such a situation arises, he can be released from the situation. But no one else can help in this matter if the gambler do not try themselves. |

I totally agree with the op, though the discussion has really gone and come a long way, i am just coming across the thread for the very first time and i guess it's not wrong to say something.
It is commonly said that experience is the best teacher, so this is to say that nothing beats being experientially knowledgeable in something, which in this case is bitcoin. It is one thing to read and gain some knowledge and insights in operability of bitcoin, how it works and all that, but it is completely a different experience altogether to have the first-hand experience in what bitcoin truly is and how it operates, for now, your knowledge of bitcoin is no longer completely based on what you read or what someone told you, but now, your knowledge is also based on your own personal experiences as well.
So yeah, anybody involved in this space deserved to buy some bitcoin, no matter how little, if you ever will try to teach somebody somewhere about bitcoin someday, you need to own some bitcoin yourself today.
I so much love what you said in this last paragraph. There is a need for you to be an investor before teaching someone about investment. Let's take for example you are a mechanical engineer who studied in school and have all the theoretical knowledge of coupling machine and has not yet practically done it, I think you can't be able to teach someone in the practical aspect. Having knowledge of Bitcoin is not enough but also putting it in practice, to avoid misplacement of fund. And to also know the security measures needed in operation wallet. Also knowing the best wallet to use for Bitcoin investment. Failure to know this tips might amount to a fuck up. How can a person invest in Bitcoin if they don't know about Bitcoin? Here's an investor needs to know about Bitcoin first. It may also happen that a person who knows well about Bitcoin but he has financial problems so he is unable to invest in Bitcoin at that time. He might invest in Bitcoin when he will have the money. So doesn't it make sense to acquire knowledge about Bitcoin is important? I think learning is definitely important. If no one knew about Bitcoin, we wouldn't know Bitcoin. But if someone learns about Bitcoin and doesn't invest in Bitcoin despite having money, then I think there is a lack in his knowledge or he can not understand about bitcoin. Those who know about Bitcoin must not let this golden opportunity to vain. When a person invest in bitcoin after learning then it will prove that he can fully trust in bitcoin. |

the very first time that i told my parents specifically my father is when I really need help and seeking theirs is my only option before my own family blown up.
I asked Him to help me out as I am an addicted gambler and losing everything each day in gambling , even drowning to debt from one place to another because of continues addiction.
lucky that i managed to get out with the help of my parents and family and now am a proud freshly living .
Telling my parents that I utilized some hours of my working days to place wagers on games, trust me when I say, they would be really mad at me. Ofcourse they would do what they're expected to as any other responsible parents, shouting and giving me advises about th strict negative consequences that follows, for me, I've chosen to remain mute with my activities cornering the gambling system. Addiction is definitely not easy to stop, but with the provided aides from our parents and love ones, quitting can be made easier because we already have in mind and determined to quit notwithstanding the current attributes that follows. I also expect that reaction because that will frustrate them because None of my parents got involved to gambling since they was born , both of them are gambling haters all their life but happy about their reaction when I needed them most , sorry for your parents reaction but I believe that it is a normal reaction because of what we have done. and also it is our obligation to take all their madness because it is not easy to accept what is important that they still helper us out and make us a better person after that. That's an initial reaction of a parent once they know that their child is into gambling. If I am going to be a parent in the future, I think I'll be like that kind of parent that will get mad at first once I know that they're involved in any gambling activities particularly if they are in a young age which is not good for a child to be expose on some kind of activity. Maybe our children will listen to us if we talk to them calmly and explain the pros and cons of gambling properly. Regardless of their age, there still a parents who always think about the welfare of their child. Every parent today wants their children to stay away from gambling. But they have no idea why they should stay away from gambling. Moreover, every child of this time has enough IT knowledge, so they know how to manage gambling far from their father's mother, so there will be no hindrance in their gambling. Basically, if this environment prevails, no parent will be able to understand that their child is addicted to gambling. Every parent should have an idea of what their children like to do and they should be more careful to their children. If they are interested in gambling then providing practical knowledge about its positive and negative aspects. |

are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.
If it is about knowing when exactly I am stopping gambling, that's what I can't foresee now. The only time I know that I am about to stop gambling is when I know that I am not that vibrant in analyzing games the way I did before. Once I notice such changes have been made in my body, I will peacefully stop gambling without minding the time it was(old or young age). My life principle is never to stay put in something that I know that I can't keep on with, no matter how fun it is. There is no way to know in advance when a gambler will stop gambling or when it will start. Because the gambler can only quit gambling when he feels that he should quit gambling. I have seen many people who want to quit gambling and then go back to gambling. But when a person gets older, he should definitely give up gambling. Because it has various effect. If one takes to gambling in old age, any major loss can lead to physical complications. We should stop gambling after a certain age. I think people in their 60-70 years should stay away from gambling. If that is not possible then it would be better to come out slowly. |

I'd like to ask the community I have a newly moved neighbor he is a widowed senior citizen and he lives alone with a house helper, all his children are now professionals and he is a pensioner, we talked a lot about many things I just noticed that he is very active on online casinos and other gambling activities like lotto and cock fighting every weekend, his children do not know his activities and I'm afraid he is getting addicted.
Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
As he is not yet addicted but on the way to becoming addicted so at this point if possible he should be given an early idea of addiction otherwise he may go astray. If he is given advance ideas he can keep himself very safe there. But I don't know how long he has been gambling. If he has gambling habit for a long time then I think it will not have any harmful effect for him but if gambling for a short period of time then chances of him getting addicted will increase. Since he is single, gambling can be a good platform for him to pass the time. Since he is gambling with his own money, no one has the right to say anything to him. |
