741  Other / Politics & Society / Re: European Union looks to Nigeria for Gas to replace Russian supplies on: July 25, 2022, 07:35:54 PM
The only problem though is the proceeds on these purchase. Nigeria is known to be plagued with corrupt government officials, but I guess that is a problem that the country has to solve on its own and the Europeans couldn't care less.

This is exactly how it is; they merely use Nigeria as a bait to get what they want, careless of the consequences of how they utilize the money. I only hope that the decision-makers managing this will consider and weigh dealings that will benefit the nation as a whole if not, then this is a no-go area for them.
Now the EU is in trouble - USA is in trouble.
They were putting sanctions on Russia and now they are all in trouble and running here and there for the oil supply.
They thought they can weaken Russian but the putting sanction on them but they are in a very bad situation.

Ultimately, what matters is that Bitcoin works as a decentralized cryptocurrency no one can stop (even though Satoshi abandoned the project some time ago). I don't really care if Bitcoin's creator is dead or alive as long as it works as intended. The pioneer cryptocurrency's been doing fine without Satoshi anyways. Who knows if someday people give up on their quest trying to find who the real Satoshi is? Just my opinion Smiley
THe countries which are more crypto friendly - are more progressive people are trading and buying with ease and confidence than those living in the regions where crypto and gambling is banned.
So I wish there is an ease for the traders and investors and buyers and world become a more progressive place to live.

personally I think bots take all the fun away from gambling.
I guess you are right. If you want to seek fun from gambling, using a bot will not give that but you only spend your money through the bot and let it run based on your setting. Perhaps, those who use a bot can really get the fun while those who do not use a bot will say that the bot will not give the fun thing. If some people still use the bot, let them enjoy their time, and perhaps, by using the bot, they can do other things while they can play gambling without pressing any button.
..gambling bots are very different from social media bots.
The gambling bots are used to find the strategy while social media are used in strategy to increase follower and interactions - so there is no comparison

Axar Patel made the right move and scored 64 runs in 34 balls. He is playing an ODI after a long break for years. He have mentioned we have played similar way on IPL. Nicholas Pooran have said the Spinner was the last focus, but we weren't able to take his wicket.
Axar Patel is playing this ODI series after a 5 year gap and he made his mark with the bat in this match which was incredible. I thought India lost the match when Shreyas Iyer lost his wicket and then the mix up of Sanju Samson loosing his wicket and i had no hopes that India would come back in the match and the odds were huge during that period and Axar Patel played one of the best innings i have seen in a no hope situation. Hats off to the lower order players.
This is real cricket, because whenever the top order falls most of the time we'll shut down the TV. In recent days the match used to go till the end as the lower order players have begun to show their ability of batting and change the match. As said there is no hope over the players, but Axar made it happen.
...These days Pakistan is performing well and they will be able to win the tournament
the pakistani batsmen and bowlers are in good shape. Hence we have seen the good performance of the team altogether
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 23, 2022, 03:12:01 PM


Valid point. Most gambling addict people tend to be very impulsive in playing. There are times that they would withdraw from their bad habits but after a while, they will come back because they can't restrain themselves. This is already given since addiction can't be cured overnight and can't be just done and healed if band aid solutions will just be given. Just like with this proposed solution of gambling but not using real money. This could possibly help but it is not ideal for the long term.

Because eventually, gamblers will crave for more and will find ways to gain from playing. Because after all, most gamblers are here to play and win. If winning is not an issue, then the thrill would be what they will going to be after later on. The risk of betting is exciting when you know you can gain some or lose some.

I believe if one has decided to do something or to leave something. One should think so many times once decided should do it with full mind and heart.
If something is done with half mind - it will not be achieved and also the fake money is not helpful in fulfilling the persons need. Its purely waste of time

It's typical to see people tell that they know something and stuff from here and there. And that happens when they're an avid fan of that sport and thinks that they've got the utmost knowledge amongst them all.

But to say a criticism, it's an okay thing to say. Although, if those things you're saying about stuff in those sports are mere opinion and no facts to support it, better remain it as an opinion and avoid argument to people that has facts.
Criticism is healthy - one should either listen to it or just ignore if it does not concerns.
However taking a criticism to your head would not be of any help. It will ruin your peace of mind and health.

India has really presented a very beautiful game.  I had a lot of fun watching the game.  But Shikhar Dhawan scored 97 runs off 99 balls.  If he could score 3 more runs, he would have scored a century.  I am very disappointed that he did not score a century.  But I hope all Indian players will play very well in future.

Shikhar Dhawan batted very responsibly. Shibman Gill batted aggressively, but Shikhar Dhawan scored very slowly. If India's middle-order batsmen could have played better, the match would have been more enjoyable. And India could have given more than 350 targets. In the last 10 overs, we expect an aggressive performance from the batsmen. But the Indian batsmen managed to collect only 58 runs in the last 10 overs.
I think Shikhar Dhawan is a very good player.  He sometimes plays the game with a very cool head but Shikhar Dhawan does not play with a hot head.  I hope Shikhar Dhawan will give better performance.  If he plays well, I am interested to watch India play.  And if Shikhar Dhawan plays badly, I don't want to watch the game.
I am unable to understand what does cool head and hot head means?  Smiley
Sometime all the players are aggressive and the other times the players are unable to perform because they have bad days in their life too.

Truth, a person who has plans of entering gambling can be restricted through the environment. Same time a person who have got addicted can't be changed through a change in environment. Nowadays everything is in the palm, so unlike the environment the user will participate into gambling activities.
In our culture and religion - we migrate when then we fail at one place. Be it health, wealth or any personal loss.
It is in our books that migration is healthy and one must do it if they are in trouble. And we usually change the place. Being stagnant is useless. One must move on!

If this is so, what is the point of using bots for casinos? if they are not able to beat the system? I feel that this type of gambling bot is not profitable at all, and even so if it worked only 1 time and if they show that it works 100% well, guaranteeing good amounts of profit, no matter how expensive it was, I know that the players would buy it, but It doesn't make any sense, besides, as I said before, it doesn't make sense to play with bots risking our lives, which may already be well worked by a bot that doesn't even have a good effectiveness rate, at least in my personal opinion. I don't see anything good about it.

Well -  I agree the gambling bots are very different from the social media bots.
But the bots are bots and with thrill they brings trouble too. So better use them when you need them the most and if there is something very important required. Otherwise just ignore.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Most Expensive Thing Bought with Winnings from the Casino or Sport Bet on: July 23, 2022, 02:25:58 PM

That is right, might be impossible to think that the winnings will be spent in helping the people in need but there are actually some people who is kind enough to give their all even if they are also the one's who need the most.

In most cases like as you've stated, people tend to pay the necessary first to lessen the burden they are carrying and that's actually the right thing to do rather than taking a step in buying expensive things that later on will become a liability and be drown again in the bills after splurging the winnings in unnecessary things.
I think we are gone too greedy for the money - in that money chase we have forgotten so many important things in our life.
Like helping other and thinking about the under prevailed one.
If there is any certain amount we donate it to the people who needs help maybe it will help so many around.

I think I'll agree with that 1st phrase you've said, it's not actually being greedy because of one us here has a responsibility on ourselves and on our family. In my case, I need to secure my family and self first before reaching out to other people and help them. Being hospitable is not always about other people because we can also do that to our own family.

As I said, not all people has the same mindset that you have and we don't have to argue about that. It's just like we don't have the same choice of food and the only difference is we are now talking about people.
Believe it or not I have seen many Greedy people who keeps on shopping expensive brands while calling people to arrange money for them because they need it.
Some people are strange and they want to get money out of people pocket no matter what - and after that they vanish. Is this not greed. I have personally experienced this - this is not a joke. My heart is heavy and stressed.
751  Economy / Gambling / Re: The History Of Gambling. on: July 23, 2022, 02:22:43 PM
I like the compilations of the history of gambling and how the article pointed down to the ancient days and how gambling was perceived at that time. But then is Egypt really the origin of gambling?
I think Egypt was center of the origin of gambling. In other holy books many important incidents and prophets came to egypt.
So we cannot ignore the importance of egypt in gambling though.. . .
Other than gambling, they too have pyramids, mummies and many more famous stuffs or events which is found or have happened in Egypt. This place is surely an important part of the history of mankind. Thanks to Egypt that they have discovered a game which are profitable and fun at the same time.

I cannot imagine life will be if there will be no gambling. Maybe my life now is a bit more boring but on the positive side, maybe I will learn how to save up because I notice that I can immediately spend my extra funds in gambling but it's okay if I can lose them because they are just an extra anyway and I already use most of my money on important things.
Egypt hold a very important role in the ancient history and there are so many incidents in our holy book which has happened in the past.
And like you cannot imagine life without gambling - many people do not imagine gambling at all. Different people, different culture!

Actually there is no difference between manual gambling and bots, the difference thing is maybe just to save time, nothing more. We can use bots only to replace us so we don't spend too much time in front of the PC / cellphone for betting. For profitable, there is no evidence that can guarantee that using bots will definitely win and profit. This is not a definite investment that will always profit, gambling is gambling, there is no need to expect to win every day with bots. Loss and Win will come together. and where you are lucky enough, so you can get more win than lose.
Gambling bots are different than social media bots - many gambler use the gambling bots for checking the strategies.
And that is the best approach to do.
on the other hand - social media bots are very lame and brings in so much trouble.
754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: July 18, 2022, 07:09:33 PM

I do not agree with you because the main share of gambling advertising is on the Internet, and nowadays more and more people play gambling online. I learned about gambling as a child. At that time even if there was internet (dial-up) not everyone could afford the service, not to mention the lack of gambling sites. Today many bloggers with a huge number of subscribers advertise gambling, so a large percentage of today's generation learns about gambling through the Internet.
Yes change in environment do affect the attitude of the people.
WE also move to other places for sometime when we are depressed and want a break -that is what everyone does. And that is the best approach to do.

South Africa Women VS England Women

An ODI match between England Women's team and South Africa Women's team is being held. England Women's team managed to set a huge target of 372. Tammy Beaumont scored 119 runs for the team. The First 4 batsmen all scored more than 50 runs.
South Africa is batting now. They managed to collect 80 runs after losing 1 wicket in 13 overs. Their run rate is good enough. Probably they will score close to 300 runs.
Heard that - there is a World Cup being held in Oct - Sep and all the players will be above 65.
The matches will be held in Australia. and it will be help in Sep and October this year.

GiftedMAN wasn't wrong either but wasn't supposed to be generalized as he put it, in some situation some gamblers are always known to disguised under that umbrella so that people don't view them as gambler especially when they see them as a responsible and public model, you know that some society view gambling as a wayward thing to indulge in, they always find a way to hide under this circumstances.
People are different and our financial status have different tastes, there are some gamblers that truly play to have fun and have a nice time, doing it in the first place is not because of money but when it goes as predicted, that doesn't mean they wouldn't take the money, after all, we all do like money.
People are gambling because they want money - money is itself a big risky thing.
It turns people crazy - and it is the most loved and most wild thing in the world.

Is wrestling part of the sport? Cos what I see in wrestling matches is a pure fixed and scripted match to entertain viewers(Not International wrestling between countries cos that one is not fixed). I remember when I was a bit young and naive, I do believe that wrestling is pure real but as time goes on, I came to realize is pure acting and fixed matches.

The way I do find out that matches are fixed is when I see a big team using their second-best team to play in a crucial match
Many gamblers gamble behind the scene - Maybe players don't know and they do a fair game.
But everything happens behind the scene.

I absolutely agree with your opinion. The Internet has made gambling more widespread and promoted. But even if there were no Internet we would play cards or dice in the kitchen at night. Mankind has been gambling since ancient times, as evidenced by the dice that have been found more than a thousand years old.
With the development of the world of technology it should be able to have a good impact on gambling places because it can make it easier to make transactions at gambling places so more people should be gambling because they can be accessed all over the world with ease from starting deposits and withdrawals which are quite easy , this is an important task for the marketing department and developers to hold events that can attract more people to the gambling place.
Yes - the change of environment does affect man's psyche - - even in our culture when we have personal or professional loss. People advice each other to each change the town or place of the country - it brings good fortune as well. So staying at one place means being stagnat

It could be on basketball, boxing or horse racing, or any kind of sport, after being in a particular sport for many years can you see or tell if a fight or event is fixed, there are upsets but in the back of our mind, there's a possibility that the match or game is fixed.

From my experience, in most cases, gamblers think that event is fixed, while it's actually not. All the signs point to the conclusion that it was fixed when you lost your bet. That's how our brain works.

But, of course, there are fixed events still. I say "still' because there were much more of them in the past, and, surely, there will be much less of them in the future.

Unless you know from some inside info that event was fixed, you can't tell, imo.
everyone has their way of perceiving the things - some people take things very positive while always points out the wrong things.
So people  go above  and beyond the criticism and make things very uneasy for others.

Now Qatar is going to be first Muslim country who is going to host his mega event and surely this is going to be game changer for this region which is having some terrible issues and conflicts for decades with this all I am still feeling Qatar is not having any good chance for qualifying into next round because their group is tough, and they are currently the most weak side in this event.

Qatar is in Group A. And here their opponents are Ecuador, Netherlands and Senegal. Teams are considered strong but their performances are not consistent. If Qatar can perform a bit better, they have a chance to win both matches. And I think they will be able to draw in that match if they play defensively. Moreover, as the home team, they will get some extra advantage.
Qatari are far better than other Arabs in their dealing with other countries.
However it is a muslim state and they have to take all the things in consideration while hosting the international event. In particular alcohol and other things which are ban in their territory.
