Is Shikhar Dhawan really playing against Ireland?

Didn't check the squad or any announcement but it would be pretty dumb from the BCCI if they include him after keeping him out for like 2 years, it would send a mixed message to youngsters and seniors which is not good in the longer run.
Found this information from this particular site.

https://cricketaddictor.com/cricket-news/shikhar-dhawan-to-announce-retirement-from-international-cricket-along-with-these-2-indian-legends-after-ind-vs-ire-t20-series/

I guess they included him and some other old players as it's his farewell series which is why these are just temporary changes. Am waiting to see Bumrah on top of his game again at some point in the future.

Bruh, mine got both of these and it just sucks for me to somehow limit my expenses and somehow be bombarded with annoying bills and yeah, taxes. Can't do anything about it anyway even if ya blame the government. People have been doing that kinds of stuff already in here, but nah. Wish it kinda gave effect, but it's just the same as always.

We can only hope. Good thing I hold Bitcoin though. Kinda somehow adapting to what's going on around me. It just sucks when you work 9-5.
Damn! That's tough. The silver lining here is that the global economic issues are decreasing slowly and steadily which implies everything will be back to normal in a couple of years hopefully.

Crypto does help mitigate these issues to some extent, but the annoying governments are taxing the heck of it too.

Inflation hasn't really hit me hard these days despite the global economic slowdown. What truly hit me hard is the plethora of taxes that my government has increased in recent times. Trash government!

Am just hoping for a drastic change in the upcoming elections which could potentially reduce the tax burden.

All we can do is try every strategy to find out which can help us win. And don't forget that we also need luck and a good strategy, but we must remember that luck may not always be with us.
You are clearly missing the point. Strategies are effective only in the short-term because it's possible to defeat the house in such a short period while they are completely ineffective in the long-term thanks to the house edge.

They are useful for improving the fun factor, but they won't increase your winning chances. It's 100% luck basically.

Pandya seriously needs to improve his captaincy. Why the heck did he not give Axar any overs when we all know how well he can bowl? Also, replacing Kuldeep for Bishnoi was a weird choice.

India have been pretty mediocre throughout this series. Their T-20 performances have been really bad so far. Their tail-enders keep batting like crap as usual.
726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: benefits of having mature accounts at 3 casinos (personal experience) on: August 06, 2023, 11:30:27 AM
Having 4 to 5 accounts at a trusted casino can provide a different gambling experience. The trouble is that we have to deposit money that may vary for each gambling account. It's okay if we have prepared a certain amount of funds to be used to gamble at each of these casinos. But if we don't have these funds, we may only play in 1 or 2 casino accounts while the others wait for the next money deposit. And it is normal to have more than 1 gambling account because we are never satisfied to play in only 1 casino so we want to get more experience.
Agreed. If you are wagering high amounts in multiple casinos, it's definitely worth creating multiple accounts in order to take advantage of their bonuses etc. However, if you are wagering low amounts, it's better to stick to one or two sites instead.

Most gamblers are small-scale gamblers which is why they usually stick to one or two sites that they personally prefer.

That is opposite from my experience , because mostly i am winning in my first few bets but the problem is when i continued playing because those are the time that i am completely losing but since of my previous wins? i chase my losses ending me losing everything.
I hate my attitude after but that is how gambling comes to me.
so yeah we have different experience mate.
Your username perfectly suits you. Honestly, everyone chased their losses at some point of time in their lives, but only few openly talk about it like you for various reasons which is pretty gutsy.

I chase my losses now and then, but I stop myself from crossing certain limits in order to avoid bigger losses. It all comes down to self control at the end of the day.

It is not particularly because of climate change that we are seeing rain at this time, usually in the past matches wont be conducted during rainy season but now a days there is a tight schedule irrespective of the weather forecast because of the high remuneration they are charging for media rights and hence they are forced to conduct the matches. Apart from the weather conditions most of the Test matches having results in the past few years compared to the past.
Makes sense. I just felt that more and more tests are getting washed out recently which didn't seem like a major issue several years ago. Can't really blame the ICC much here due to the other issues that you mentioned.

Retractable roof could mitigate these issues, but it comes with its own set of problems.
729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 04, 2023, 05:50:00 AM
There are theories of every kinds in an attempt to find a pattern on the game, but after all none of them work, because it's everything about luck and randomness.
It's because gamblers are usually desperate to find the so called 'winning strategy' in order to earn big money, but end up getting disappointed later on when such strategies fail in the long-term thanks to the house edge.

Yolo gambling and fixed unit betting are way better in comparison if you ask me.

It's impossible for him to do that for popularity but he is indeed unconscious or insane, maybe there is also a certain reason he does that if he is indeed unconscious due to heavy drunkenness, but it is a free spectacle for everyone around there even though it is dangerous if the drunk is carrying a sharp weapon, no need to be arrested it's just that it needs to be secured so as not to harm someone.

We never know how strong he controls himself to harm other people, for that it is only enough to be secured by a security officer because it can help prevent unwanted things, reading this thread we still wonder why he did that, but I'm sure it's not because popularity because in my opinion it is impossible in such a way to gain popularity let alone embarrass himself.
There are so many people out there who crave negative popularity and don't really mind it since they seek attention in any form. For example, some youtubers do all sorts of crazy shit for fame and money.

This is why there is a small possibility that this dude wanted everyone to learn about him without really caring about the consequences.
731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 03, 2023, 06:37:49 AM
Now a days most of the Test matches are having results unlike a decade ago.
I have to disagree with this part. More and more tests are getting screwed by rain as time passes thanks to global warming, climate change etc. I feel that this issue will continue getting worse sadly.

One example is the first match where the team announced early declaring of the innings and lost on a narrow margin. Those are decisions from England team in an unexpected moment.
Everyone makes mistakes. Stokes messed up, but some of his teammates didn't really help much either which is why they lost the first 2 tests.
732  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which are best stake alternatives on: August 02, 2023, 06:40:22 AM
For the sake of promotion  Wink and also some review in my part, one of the only reasons someone would be trying to find alternatives to Stake would be users getting excluded or banned for some reason.

As it stands, Stake is a very good casino, I have gambled myself there and their system and art style is very good in their Stake's originals, perfect to anyone to wishes to gamble at their own pace, not even mention the fact their withdrawvals are very fast and they care to use a high enough fee, so people can see the money in their wallets as soon as the next block is mined.  Tongue

Stay safe, stay on Stake. ™  Wink
Wrong. There are plenty of reasons why a gambler would want to avoid Stake. They enforce KYC on deposits and withdrawals, freeze funds sometimes and don't release them despite providing KYC again and again, bad odds etc.

It's a good site for sure, but it's not as great as you are making it out to be.
733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Irresponsible behavior at the Las Vegas Casino on: August 01, 2023, 05:44:03 AM
Lol! That's hilarious. He embarassed himself like an idiot and he should have been reprimanded seriously, but he doesn't deserve to be arrested since he clearly wasn't in his right mind.

I doubt he did any of that intentionally since very few people crave negative popularity. This kind of stuff is pretty common in Vegas.
734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 31, 2023, 12:36:47 PM
Yes, it depends on the person but those that treat gaming/gambling as fun activities do so because it's the only way they can put their buzz in check to prevent addiction or unnecessary gambling.
If you know any of the gamblers that treated gambling this way ask them and they will tell you they are still hoping for a chance of good winning.
I disagree. There are plenty of gamblers out there who primarily care about the fun factor and don't really care about earning money. They are happy regardless of whether they win or lose at the end of the day.

One of the best examples in this case are elites who are 100% financially free.

Good stuff op. So many crypto investors don't properly do their research and end up blaming BTC and other cryptocurrencies for their losses when the truth is that they are the ones who are actually at fault.

HODLING BTC in the long-term is always extremely difficult for most investors which is why you should be prepared to invest only what you are willing to lose.

I don't really see the point of this thread to be frank since op already abandoned it pretty quickly after talking about posting his bets regularly. He stated some silly stuff about no bet being a waste bet which makes zero sense.

Some bets are useless for various reasons and anyone with a half-decent brain knows that much.
739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 29, 2023, 03:23:37 PM
Every business in the world is greedy for more profit, but what that greed drives them into doing will tell if their greed level have gone above the level its considered healthy and not bad, online casino are greedy for more and more profit, that is why they keep their services open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and 365 days a year, they never shut their system down as long as everything is running well.
Casinos operate primarily thanks to the greed factor everywhere around the world. I have never heard of a casino that isn't greedy since they would have to shut shop pretty quickly obviously.

Let's be honest with ourselves. Is gaming really only for fun? We don't need to hide the true intention of people gambling 24/7 saying they are doing it for fun whereas they are doing it for fun and the chance of earning.
That depends on the person. Some people truly treat gaming and gambling as fun activities without taking them too seriously.

I have no idea why the Indian management changed their dark blue jersey which looked kick-ass while the current jersey looks so average and boring. Why try to fix what's great in the first place?

Also, this entire series between India and West Indies was expected to be one-sided and that's what is happening. Boring series overall!
