741  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: There are a lot of scams on Twitter, and illegal links steal your assets. on: June 03, 2023, 11:53:09 PM
For me a large number of followers does not mean they can be trusted. I meet a lot of Twitter users who have tens of thousands of followers and they are people who are hunting for referral links. Usually they are airdrop or giveaway hunters.

Maybe only verified Twitter accounts can be trusted. I apologize for the misfortune that has befallen you. Maybe this can be a lesson for other members so they can be careful when participating in airdrops. I honestly don't like Airdrops asking for KYC. Because for me personal data is more important than tens of dollars.
While verified Twitter accounts are generally trusted, it is important to note that they can still be involved in scams, albeit not by directly entering your DMs and sending messages. It has been observed that some YouTubers, who often possess verified accounts, subtly aid in cryptocurrency scams.
Those need to be identified and reported. What these account holders does is similar to providing paid reviews for services. For what they received as reward these people promote through the social media handles. All around the internet we were able to see more and more scam and fraudulent acts. We should know how to differentiate the legitimate one from the scam. Compared to the past days of social media platforms flooded with scams and different schemes, now there is better cleanup.

Does following this makes you lucky or assure with win. Not at all, then this isn't a strategy. What's been described in the article is the process. This is how a person needs to start his gambling activity. Directly into a game that he/she doesn't have any idea and goes for real time gambling could end up losing than winning. Maybe a few gets lucky, and that shouldn't be the outcome of strategy.

Every casino have got its edge as well as the limitations on bets. If not the person who have got to be with bigger bankroll than the casino could eat up everything and make the casino into bankruptcy. If a person is good at accepting losses, as well as know when to take a break, then he is good enough to be into gambling.

Messi performed horrible on his last day with PSG in the league. At least he could have said goodbye to the team and fans in a better way. But of course his services during his contract have been really valuable for the team. Some fans started to criticize and boo him a lot in the recent times though because of not extending his contract. But I think they should have still respected his decision. He is already a football legend now so I think it is unfair to act like that against a player like Messi.

It is still not known where his next station will be. If he made up his mind about not continuing with PSG no matter what then we might probably see him in Saudi Arabia. I mean the only European team he would love to go is Barcelona but it doesn't look like Barcelona can sign him easily this summer.
The performance from Messi is completely not what the fans expected. Clermont Foot took advantage of each and every opportunity and turned in favour of them. During the second half of the match Messi got a clear opportunity on an assist from Mbappe. He just shot and it went over the net. Messi had good time and he missed it with the high shot. At the beginning of the match the majority of chance to get result on the match is low against the draw. With this the points between PSG and Racing Club have got narrowed.

When a gambling failure happens for the first time or when we've got no more money to spend on our needs as a result of losing in gambling suicide thoughts used to pop. In my personal life I've gambled a lot and during the beginning days I've got good sum of money. At some point the luck was completely against me and I lost everything. That was the time I experienced such a big loss. My mind wasn't ready to accept and I was into the room for a long. I don't know how I came out of the thoughts and later on well understood about gambling and never think of suicide and self harming for the losses. Maybe this story will let more users understand gambling and stay on the safer side.

It seems that seyboth wild journey in the French open has come to an end the only impressive performance he showed was against medvedev when he beat him despite being a heavy underdog but today against nishioka he lost unexpectedly, nishioka will face etcheverry next he has a good chance making it to the quarter final.

This is a problem with lower ranked players on atp tour. Once they win a big match against a big player from top 5 or top 10 they think they have done a big thing. But then they lose against an opponent that is on the same level as them or worst. In womens tennis its different . But still i think we can expect more from him in the future.
Seyboth is really good with his performance. He gave a tough fight and the final set was completely one sided. Playing 5 sets is really hard and needs good stamina. First three sets were really in favour of Seyboth and the tie breaker loss caused him loss the match.

In the women's tennis it was Rybakina who is unlucky. She had walked over against Sorribes Tormo citing illness. The Italian Open win could've given her the advantage and positive mind to reach atleast finals. The match between Danilovic and Jabeur is going on, and Danilovic leads winning the first set. It looks like the underdog gonna win the match. Swiatek have finished against Wang without allowing her to win a single point, 6-0 6-0..
746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will you support bitcoin as Global reserve currency? on: June 02, 2023, 11:18:37 PM
Bitcoin as global reserve currency need more things to be considered. The prime factor is the volatility, which could destroy the country's economy. The ongoing economic situation is at its worst and people are much worried of it. It can be prioritised as a choice of reserve than global reserve. Because the volatility directly hits the common people whereas when it is a choice the governments will hold specific percentage and the same can be utilised when the market is bullish.

The reason behind bitcoin into the world is different. So, there is nothing to be much complicated. Let it be independent and function.

Inflation have hit hard throughout the world. In particular we were able to see the impact much on European countries. In the past the economic difficulty faced by the people never gets revealed to the outer world. Now it have come to the light, and European Country people have begun to move to the nearby countries for purchase of day to day needs to stay good with what they earn.

Unemployment and contract based jobs were ruining the lifeline of common people who depend on salary for their living. The gas price is another thing that have made them get into fear. In each and every side the financial problems were neck tight and it takes years for the situation to get better. Until then getting adopted to the situation and making ways to earn better is the right choice.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: June 02, 2023, 10:28:08 PM
I am a Dhoni fan but this particular incident was a dick move from him, normally captain gets a 100% fine or worse match ban when they deliberately rig the gameplay.

In the past, many captains faced the consequence and were slapped with the fine for less but he's powerful enough to influence even the match referee.
It isn't an honorable move for sure, but it's not such a big deal either. Honestly, I would have done the same if I were in his position since the pros outweigh the cons in the grand scheme overall.

Also, I read somewhere that the worst that the umpires could do was to give Dhoni a warning since it was his first offence in the match. Smart move by a uber-cool captain!

Result? They went on to win the qualifier 1 and final and became 5 time champs. A small sacrifice for the greater good basically.
The point is if it was done by someone else then they would have faced the consequences (at least some match fee) and real bashing from the commentators but no one on the comm even dared to utter serious remarks except Simon Doul.  

Agreed, if it was some other player surely he could've received some penalty. In all means he had followed the rules, so the umpires haven't made any comments on it. The time he wastes will end the innings delay two overs at the end. This allows just 4 players outside. He had opted the risk and brought win to the team. If there is no such system of 4 players outside, then the umpires might've given warnings or they might've not allowed to waste the time.

With a target of 269 runs in an ODI match, there is little hope of winning the match. Still I would say Sri Lankan cricket team managed to score well in the first ODI match. Sri Lankan cricket team has done well in batting but they have not done well in bowling. Sri Lanka cricket team could have strengthened the bowling line-up. Then the Afghanistan cricket team would have struggled to meet the target of 269 runs. Hopefully the Sri Lankan cricket team can return to form in the next match

The pitch was not bowling-friendly. 268 runs on a completely batting-friendly pitch was not a good collection. Sri Lanka's innings stalled at 268 runs due to poor performance by Sri Lanka's top-order players. The top-order players should have performed more responsibly. While Sri Lanka's top order failed completely, the performance of Afghanistan's top-order players was excellent. The Afghanistan team easily won this match mainly because of the good performance of the top order. Afghanistan team reached the target of victory by losing only 4 wickets.
Pitch is just a factor, it is the performance from the players that make things happen good. Atleast Sri Lanka could've given some close fight. This is an easy win for Afghanistan and  268 runs is not a bad target. Afghanistan have won the match losing just 4 wickets whereas Sri Lanka have lost ten wickets to score the same run. Does that mean the pitch had been bowling friendly for Afghanistan and once again turned batting friendly. The Sri Lanka could've taken advantage as it is their home pitch. Anyhow big match and now most teams would've started to get some fear about the performance from Afghanistan. Zadran unluckily missed his century, losing the wicket at 98
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 02, 2023, 10:11:17 PM

BTW, England will resume their innings in around 3 hours from now, against Ireland. The match was quite boring yesterday and the England batsmen were treating Irish bowlers with absolute disdain.
Day 1 belongs to England and so will be this test match. Ireland failed to give a decent first innings total as they were bowled out for 172 runs. James McCollum was the highest run scorer for Ireland as he scored 36 runs. England as usual are scoring runs quickly. Yesterday they made 152 runs in 25 overs thats RR of 6. The only England batsmen who got out yesterday was Zak Crawley 56(45).

Ireland's players played very badly in the first innings. And I am almost sure that England will win this match by innings. Ireland's first innings collection was only 172 runs. On the other hand, the England team lost only 4 wickets and scored 524 runs, and declared the innings. Ireland's collection of 97 runs after losing 3 wickets in the second innings. Ireland's team is still behind by 255 runs. My guess is that Ireland will lose all their wickets in the first two sessions tomorrow. Ireland's players are unlikely to score 255 more runs.
England batting was outclass they scored like they're playing odi match , Ireland have trail of 255 which is impossible for them to chase already they have lost 3 wickets they  cant chase such big lead .
England really played thoroughly in their only test .
England have taken advantage of the team Ireland and performed big. The scoring is perfectly similar to ODI and they have got some plans, also known well that Ireland doesn't have good bowling line-up. Two half centuries, one double century and a century close to double century have come out of the four wickets. In the recent test matches played Ireland used to play better in the second innings. This time Tector and Tucker on the crease will make some contribution, but that isn't enough. Josh Tongue had started his test carrier wickets count. He wasn't able to take a wicket in the first innings and now added 3 wickets to his part.

Cant believe Sinner lost! That was one very close match with 3 tie breaks, the spectators
got their moneys worth with that match!

Other than that upset today the top players came through, Fritz, Ruud, Zverev, Tiafoe but
Paul lost in 4 sets, dissapointing from Paul who is haveing a quiet time lately

Fognini as we have talked about him already is through to round 3 and plays Ofner next,
now Fognini should this and he is a good price at 1.73, he is definitely worth a $1 bet.
Sinner have done the best, but it wasn't his day. I haven't watched the match and it could've been very interesting and increased the pressure. Three tie breaker sets and the match have went till the 5th set. Both the young players would've been very tired. Anyhow the progress of Altmaier is applicable, other than the third set every set is a close fight 77-60 67-79 6-1 64-77 5-7.
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 01, 2023, 05:50:54 PM
Looks like Ireland first innings will be over by today. Right now Ireland have lost the 5th wicket. Most of the match this is the situation. Used to loss wickets at the  beginning and the lower order used to contribute better than the opening order. Atleast 250+ runs is a must to have a better match between the teams. McCollum -36, Moor - 10, Balbirnie - 0, Tector - 0, Stirling - 30. Stuart Broad in good form and have taken 4 wickets.
I had high expectations from Ireland's batsmen in this match. Because in the last few matches, I have seen Ireland's batsmen perform well. Ireland could not win though. However, Ireland's batsmen managed to perform very well. But against England's bowlers, Ireland's players are unable to survive at the crease.
Ireland lost their sixth wicket by 104 runs. Ireland has now collected 124 runs. Campher and McBrine are batting now. These two batsmen are quite experienced. If they survive I guess Ireland will collect like 250. But the probability of this is very low.
Stuart Broad bowled just 13 overs and gave away 5 maidens. And managed to take 5 wickets. Ireland will probably lose all wickets before 200 runs.
Other than Balbirnie and Tector there is contribution from every player, but none have come up with solid performance. Campher have scored 32* runs. More than 50 partnership between players is must for Ireland reach 200+ runs, if not this is going to be a match with first innings score less than 200 runs. Ireland have reached 169/8 at the end of 54 overs. There is big expectation on batting, and now somehow the team is good crossing 150+ runs which at the beginning is at a very bad position of 19/3

None of Ireland's batsmen can perform well. The highest collection for Ireland was by Paul Stirling. Stirling scored 30 runs. Ireland's first innings collection was only 172 runs. England players will not have any problem collecting 172 runs. England has already collected 145 runs. England has just lost 1 wicket. Zak Crawley returned to the dressing room with 56 off 45 balls. Duckett 58 and Ollie Pope 26 at the crease. Ireland's bowling line-up is very weak. My guess is that England will score at least 450 runs in the first innings. Ireland's team is going to lose very badly in this match.
England team have planned for some record, because every batsmen is playing as if like playing ODI. Even if the match ends by the second day of the match, nothing to get surprised. The bowling lineup isn't good, and Ireland needs to concentrate much on it. The batting order is good, if they play bit more responsible we can see better scoring from the players. England team have ended day 1 of the match with the score 152/1, Duckett 60*runs  and Pope 29*runs were on the crease. England have batted 25 overs and scored 152 runs which is above 6rpo. Seems to be very bad loss for Ireland.

It looks like you were making good money with some wins happening between the odds. However in the long run one out of 100 will be successful through gambling. Today's loss of mine is a big example for the same. Had something around 0.015BTC in the wallet from campaign participation. Through regular gambling made it into 0.0412BTC which I lost in less than 10 rolls following the worst martingale strategy. Earlier it was the strategy that helped in multiplying the wallet balance. End of the day gambling platforms will be the winner. In between if we get an upper hand we should make use of it withdrawing the amount than getting greedy.
754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: May 31, 2023, 04:33:23 AM
Ronaldo recently said that the Saudi Professional League could become a force and will be among the top five leagues in the world. But he also said that they are literally lacking players and infrastructure. Now how will that ever be sustainable when they need to pay a few hundred million in salaries per year in order to convince the stars to go there? The sheikhs would be better off buying their clubs in the European leagues and go from there. Establishing the SPL as one of the top five leagues is a bottomless pit.
Reaching the top 5 position on the list of popular football leagues were really tough. The leagues played on Europe have got big history followed by the follower base. Saudi Arabia Pro League have got big history, but the player involvement is very minimal. Maybe over the years the participation of more world class players will make it more popular. The participation of Ronaldo itself have added more popularity to the league. For his presence a good number of people have started watching it. When more such players make contract with different teams, the league becomes more popular. However reaching within the five is still a question?

One major problem for the Saudi Professional League is that not may professional players would want to live there for many years. Many professional players appreciate the Western free lifestyle. They would go there for two or three years and some maybe longer, but it will take a lot of time in my opinion until young talents would decide to go to the SPL before they had a great career in Europe, living in England or Spain or other places. Is is also the whole European socer ecosystem that you can't quickly copy with a few billion dollars. Ronaldo says that about SPL becoming top 5 because it is his job to do that. When you get paid half a billion dollars, why not just say it and then think who cares. He probably knows it is not realistic. SPL would have to be among England, Spain, Germany, Italy and maybe France or Portugal. We are not even talking about Argentina or Brazil yet.

@shogun47 there’s nothing wrong with his statement as he’s justifying to his fan’s why he’s playing there and his dream can turn into reality if he can continuously convince star player’s who’re in their prime to come and play there. Also as we saw that the rules were relaxed for him and I believe that Saudi will offer the same relaxation to other foreign player’s which will further improve their leagues image and attract the top talent in the long run.
Being on the King rule, giving relaxation to the foreign players never be a big issue. Already Ronaldo is enjoying the exception of live in relationship which according to Saudi Arabia is against their law. However the lifestyle of what they enjoy in European countries can't be expected to happen in Saudi Arabia. The transition is slowly happening in Saudi Arabia, maybe in the future we can expect big changes. For now the government is much focused on improving the country's economy through sport, traditional and tourism activities. So, we can expect something better than now in the next season of Saudi Arabia Pro League.

China might look like playing double game, but they're clear with their plans. It was China who helped with the circulation of bitcoin in the earlier days. During those days, even the grown economies and the technology wise developed nations too didn't considered it. At some point fake volume issue were identified during inspection by People's Bank of China. From then onwards it started strict regulation and terminated the operation of few exchanges. Later the ban on cryptocurrency mining, altcoins and bitcoin happened. Every country wants them to be dominant in the technology, and the increasing demand made China stay away from the race.

As OP said China hadn't grown out of making some cheap politics between the powers, it have got the strong manufacturing setup which is the reason it have emerged as one among the strong economy in the last 20 years. USA also a reason, to suppress the supreme power of Russia media started to compare between China and USA which too helped them in the growth.

As most of the users mentioned we'll be able to see AI and VR being added to the gambling industry. Already some platforms have launched the service, but not much have got used to it. These platforms requiring additional accessories to enjoy gambling makes it an expensive form of gambling. In simple, this will turn to be favourite for people who spend on gambling for fun and never mind about the losses.

Every form of advancement gets added to the industry, but it is the people who decides whether to use it or not. Maybe the next generation will enjoy it more and prioritise it.

I watched Medvedev match for 15 minutes and placed a bet on Wild @ 4.85 odds.

It's amazing how big Medvedev's drop in quality is when nothing goes his way. If he just stayed calm, he'd have won eventually - but it's always the same with him.
He started well on clay this year and then fell apart in the most important tournament.

I expected so much more from him a few years ago. Nowadays I just try to place some high odds bets against him.
Thats an awesome bet and a big win. Not everyone have got the courage to go at these high odds when the player involved is on the top line.

From the scoring pattern, it looks like he's out of control from the very beginning. The first two sets reaching the tie breaker itself shows how good Seyboth Wild have
played against Medvedev. The efforts in the first two sets would've made Medvedev tiresome to play in the consecutive sets 76-65 66-78 2-6 6-3 6-4.

Based on the he plays, there are more chances of winning bets against him if watched closer.

Well nobody expected that Medvedev would lose in the first round of a huge grand slam even tho its on clay. Seyboth Wild played an amazing match and even tho Medvedev won a tournament on clay he still is terrible on that surfice and still needs to work on his gameplay on clay.
Thats a big disappointment with Medvedev. Similar game happened with the women's singles match. It was the match between Kalinina and Parry. Kalinina last match was the finals against Rybakina in the Italian Open. Here she have lost the match in the very first round 2-6 3-6. Maybe this isn't a big disappointment, still a loss after the finals is something bad. Earlier she defeated Kudermetova in the semifinals and Haddad Maia in the quarter finals.

I think many have heard the phrase: money loves silence. Everything related to finances is better not to discuss with anyone except with people with whom you have a common business, with other people I always ignore these conversations. Why once again discuss this with people whom I do not know well.
By avoiding unnecessary conversations, you and your finances will always be safe - this rule works flawlessly.
Everyone have got something to be personal, one amongst is the finance. It is good to have discussion regarding the goodness of technology and how transition is happening around in each and every sector. By the time leaving comments on your holdings is a bad idea. Here we have come across one such incident where the person is lucky enough to escape with the help of Police team that got into action very fast. We can't expect things to be the same everywhere.

We think it a pride to reveal what we've got in the wallet. We never think the same to be problematic for us. It is good to segregate what can be revealed to the outer world, even to the closer ones and what shouldn't be!

I'm not surprised by the performance and other things that happened with individual players as well as with the teams. I was quite surprised and happy to see how good is the progress of T20 scoring. What a difference, team scoring 200+ runs have got doubled from the previous season. This season of IPL have got 74 matches including the finals. Among that we were able watch good percentage of match having scores 200+ and the same being chased at several instances were really impressive.
