Did anyone see the match between Finland vs Sweden(Nordic t20 cup)?
I missed it but I saw the scoreboard what excited match it was. Sweden batted first and could take only 96 runs. The performance of the batsmen of both teams was absolutely worst. The top order batsmen of both the teams could not perform well. However, Finland performed a bit better than Sweden and caught the target run of 96 but the match went into super over as the ball ran out.
And Finland managed to get their win in Super Over but I think their batsmen should play more careful in the upcoming matches. If we see the below picture their form is not that good wicket fall ratio they also have a lot. But in the end, I think fans of both teams almost had a heart attack today
source
After seeing the post went through the summary of the match. This is nothing a surprise, because in most of the matches the score of Finland is around 90-100 runs. Finland could've reached the target. In the super over both the teams have performed good. In a over Sweden have scored 13 runs and Finland have chased at the final ball reaching 15 runs. For a long we haven't seen any match ending in a super over. I expect one such match to take place in the IPL Cheesy

The primary reason for investing the spare money into different investments is to lower the risk as well as doesn't affect of daily life.

When the spare money is used it is possible to increase the number of income streams. When we spend from our daily need we will be in a situation to sacrifice something.

Some people used to invest borrowing and it used to land them into debts. The market doesn't move as we wish, and when it doesn't favour the loss will be big. Here the debt once again gets doubled. Maybe few gets lucky in such kind of investment.

Whenever we prefer investment, the focus should be long term as well as on gradually growing assets and not the one that bounce and gets dragged.
763  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: May 22, 2023, 07:39:43 PM
Buying bitcoin needs to happen on ones personal understanding about bitcoin. Just going with someone's suggestion isn't fair, because the person who introduced might've said you about the bullish move and to the bad luck you might be experiencing bearish market. This will be disappointing, good is to go with the purpose. If one haven't got to know anything prior and completely new it'll be hard for them to believe.

If the ultimate is to make yourself rich, you've got more choices available. Bitcoin have got the ability to make a person rich in a short as well as in the long term. It all depends on how the person have understood it. Same time the risk associated too looks high than other form of investment. Just buy, it assure you with the best profit someday.

PCB is the only board that tries to get some answers. The distribution is fair, and most have got good increase in the allocation. This could help with the improvement. However the difference between what India received against the other teams is really big. PCB had delayed its PSL, maybe if they've started it earlier they could've got good revenue by now. Because in terms of cricket supporters we were able to see a good number in Pakistan.
IMO, the revenue allocation should have been purely based on performance in ICC tournaments (this is what other sports bodies such as the FIFA does). This would have given a higher share to teams such as Australia and lower share for the BCCI. The logic of allocating 39% of all the funds to one country doesn't make sense. In the long term, this will ensure the death of cricket in most of the countries outside South Asia. Already we are witnessing the signs in South Africa, West Indies and associate nations such as Netherlands.

Cricket is certainly not as big as football. So the ICC cannot take the same steps as FIFA to allocate the money. If they just give the money based on performance of course the smaller teams are not going to survive. They just cannot charge the team which has been playing cricket for a long time and the team which has just started on the same pedestal.

I think there should be a bare minimum amount that has to be given to a country. I think the problem is going to be fixed if they just stop giving so much money to the teams which are made out of foreign players and give them to the teams with native players.
Every sport grows over time. Football reached the world earlier and it can be seen much on the European and American continents. Around the Asian circle we were able to see cricket much more than other sports. Now only it is getting widened around the world. Even football might've faced the same problem earlier. Its time for the board to try and correct itself.

It is common to have minimum amount. Even with cricket this is how distribution is done. Apart from the minimum amount will be the performance based funding. Foreign players controversy doesn't come to an end for some reason.

It is a volatile market, our life can't be the same. To some extent it is possible to adjust the life needs to the varying income. For a long means this will sure be problematic. Better is to have a stable earning job, so that things can be planned accordingly. With the earning out of bitcoin trading and other activities it can be used to make life even better. There are people who are full time into cryptocurrency trading, but through some means they've already secured to receive earnings from multiple streams.
766  Economy / Speculation / Re: will bitcoin continue to rise on: May 21, 2023, 11:17:00 PM
The price of Bitcoin will ever stop to pop-up untill the world finally accept Bitcoin as investment or payment method such as our Fiat currency's, I have a strong believe that if Bitcoin is been known to the entire world it will have more value than every properties today.
If the price of bitcoins stopped rising just at this early stage many investors will no longer invest in Bitcoin because of the low increase rate and some new investors will withdraw there capital from the investment.
What bitcoin have reached in the short time period is very big. The growth will continue to happen and long back itself bitcoin have got its usage as investment and as other means of transaction source. Entire world accepting bitcoin similar to the fiat is simply hard. Maybe it can happen after decades.

No asset or investment have got the ability to grow this high. There is risk with the investment, for the same we were able to profit out of it. It is all about the people's understanding that makes them whether to go with bitcoin or not, but the growth continues amidst the volatility.

Beyond this one cannot play. Virat Kohli is completely unlucky in this. In a match where there is wicket fall he stood wicket and managed to score 101 and the same made the score to be 197 runs. It is known that Gujarat Titans is the strongest in the league chasing and defending any score. RCB took the wicket of Saha, but then they didn't create pressure as the runrate never got disturbed. Finally with the massive performance from Shubman Gill scoring 104* and with Vijay Shankar's 52 runs Gujarat Titans easily reached the target with 4 balls remaining. Very disappointed to see RCB getting eliminated and Mumbai Indians were always lucky. Even in this season of IPL they can lift the trophy.

I think we all can see that the bowling of RCB has let them down. That has been the story of RCB this whole IPL season so far. RCB could actually perform and win in a lot more matches if they actually did well in bowling. The best economy from any RCB bowler in this match was 7.25. The second wicket partnership of GT actually took the match away from RCB. And the IPL season has come to an end for RCB with a loss in this match.

I actually expected RCB to reach the next stage at least. But again I have learned that it is hopeless to expect anything from RCB.
In few matches bowlers were really good in defending. This is the third time RCB is losing a match after scoring good runs. First one was against LSG where the team reached the target of 213 runs at the last ball of the match. Next time it was against Mumbai Indians in the same pattern. That loss is even worse as Mumbai Indians reached the target of 200 runs in 16.3 overs. Today at an important situation same thing happened. Atleast I enjoyed watching the batting of Kohli. There were more young power hitters with better strike rate, yet the way he plays easily attracts the viewers.

Not everyone have got the tolerance and the strength to stay strong after such an incident. Happy you're leading life with the positive mind and the thought of never disturbing others is really great. What you've understood is the reality of the  cryptocurrency market, and continue the learning process. Even the small spending on cryptocurrency will let you have a better amount in the long time. The same can let you have a stable income, when you learn to use it on trading. Stay strong and good things will happen for sure.

The match turned out to be very competitive. Gujarat needs 19 runs to win in the last two overs. With Shubman Gill still at the crease, the match still seems to be in Gujarat's control. Even then it cannot be said with certainty that Gujarat is going to win. If Bengaluru manages to do well in this 19th over and take the wicket of Shubman Gill then Bengaluru looks set to win. However, Bengaluru's bowlers did not perform well at the start of the innings. They can't take wickets. This is why they are so far behind. But I will be happy if Kohli's team can qualify for the knockout round.

Manchester city and pep guardiola have fully proven their dominance in the league despite starting off the season a little bit shaky, they have all the quality and experience when it comes to winning matches now in the premiere league its just as if they enjoy every win and they take it as fun which makes them different from arsenal because they have come to struggle when it comes to securing a victory and it got even worst once they suffered that defeat from Manchester city.
Manchester city is playing against Chelsea currently, they are in first half and the match looks so easy for Manchester City, they are already winning Chelsea 1-0, the funniest part is they bench most of their players, they are really confident that they will win Chelsea and incase if they don’t win, they are still the winner of the premier league, they decided to bench most of their main players just to reserve them against inter Milan in champions league. They have already win the premier league the only thing left for them to fight for is the champions league.
Manchester City lead 1-0 so far. Julian Alvarez scored a superb goal to put Manchester City ahead. As Julian Álvarez has been performing exceptionally well, it is more likely that Álvarez will be included in the starting eleven for the Champions League final.
That's a good strategy to give opportunity to the second starting eleven keeping the first eleven for the champions league final. End of first half Manchester City leads 1-0, and Chelsea had some improvement once after the goal from Alvarez. Good start for Alvarez and this young man have got more to reach.

772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Premier League #IPL on: May 21, 2023, 01:24:26 PM

Although Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 200 runs, i still think that they are around 20 runs short. From 16th to the 20th over, Sunrisers Hyderabad only collected 32 runs which shows that they lost the plot of the game in the final overs. With the start that Sunrisers Hyderabad had, the Mumbai Indians were very happy to restrict them to 200 runs.

Coming to the batting of MI, Cameron Green has scored 42 runs in only 13 balls and is looking threatening for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Right now, with wickets in hand, i will favor Mumbai Indians to win this match and keep their IPL dreams alive.

SRH have given a target of 201 because of there 140 runs opening stand on just 82 balls. The game is not that important for SRH but for MI. The game is very much balanced between both teams as MI are 100/1 in 9 overs. Green has scored 50 runs on just 20 balls and if he remains on crease till 14th or 15th over then there are very much chances of MI to win this game.
The chance of SRH winning the match have got narrowed. Cameron Green and Rohit Sharma on the crease continue to score against every bowler. Mumbai Indians need another 53 runs in 42 balls. This is easy reachable for any team with 9 wickets in hand. Few catch drops were the reason why SRH wasn't able to break the partnership.

Initially it used to be really good as my predictions used to come closer and kept me at the lead. Few rounds were really bad and in particular the last round I was able to score just a point. If not I might've been in the race for the third spot. Even the present round isn't favouring me, in the match between KKR vs LSG my prediction narrow win for KKR and what happened at the last moment. Anyhow congratulations to all the participants on the top of leaderboard.

I don't think thats the duty of the gambling operators. All that to be done is provide users with the proper support when there happens some issue. Maybe the gambling platform can give a notification on how much they had wagered and what is their stats in terms of profit and loss. Maybe this can help them understand and limit their spending or go further.

If there is some limit set and requested to stop at that point, surely some will stick to it. Same time there are chances people looking for an alternate gambling platform.
775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 20, 2023, 11:39:53 PM
KKR lost but how good is this Rinku guy?

Every time team is in a tough spot, this fella always steps in. He keeps doing it again n again and surprises everyone all the time.

An excellent season for him and i hope he gets a call from the national team, we desperately need this kind of power in the lower order.  
Rinku Singh has performed very well for Kolkata Knight Riders in this year's IPL but sadly Kolkata Knight Riders failed to secure the playoff spot. But this year's IPL has been a great opportunity for Rinku Singh which he has already taken advantage of. His run statistics in 14 matches in this year's IPL are mentioned below.


Rinku Singh's performance in lower order is really commendable. He scored 474 runs in 14 matches. But one commendable thing is that he has not got out for zero runs in this year's IPL. But one important thing is that Rinku Singh will make it to the Indian National Team very soon.

Rinku Singh had performed really well. This doesn't guarantee him a spot in the national team. Right now we've got good number of batting talents for India, but the selection criteria will have different factors to be considered. His contribution to the KKR team is really big and his name gained popularity once after the last over win where he scored 31 runs in the last over.
776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 19, 2023, 10:45:35 PM
Although Rajasthan Royals won today. However, this team has no chance of playing in the knockout round. Rajasthan is fifth in the table with 14 points from 14 matches. The team would have been able to qualify for the knockout round if they had not lost badly in the last match.
RCB ,14 points with 13 matches & NRR+0.180  last match RCB Vs GT.

RR , 14 points with 14 matches & NRR+0.148

There will be little chance for Rajasthan Royals if Royal Challengers Bangalore lose their last match against Gujarat Titans. A bad defeat will surely reduce NRR and RCB will move to 5th position in the points table. In this case, RR will be seen on the field on May 21 as a supporter of Gujarat Titans.
Based on some calculation it looks like Rajasthan Royals should've won within 18th over. If so, Rajasthan Royals would've gone high in net runrate against RCB. So that, in the next match losing of RCB and Mumbai Indians is enough than losing by big margin. However the twist of two teams to lose isn't gonna happen. Lets wait and watch what's gonna happen.

Cryptocurrency assure to function against the inflated fiat currencies, but it is also noted that bitcoin can also be at the same situation (bearish) at the time of fiat failure. With bitcoin we should have the patience, and it assure you with the growth. The limited supply is the best thing that makes bitcoin stand high against the inflation. It can also be used as a multipurpose asset, which is the best part of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The varying growth lets user to generate profit through trading practice, holding gives increase in the portfolio value, can be used for transaction.

Companies doesn't let the employees get paid without working.

Now scenario have changed, anytime we can be called by the senior employees for queries as well as other needs. We're in a situation to respond and unable to ignore. Maybe the spending on travel and other things have decreased, but the employees are working overtime for the same salary  Cheesy

Beyond all the mentioned ways of making money, the banks have got big plans to earn and they've been doing it for a decade. We're the highest in population and the country have got more than half the people with bank accounts. The technology advancement lets us to check the balance amount in our account. If we use the ATM to check this beyond five times we were charged. Another thing there is something called minimum balance, failing to do it makes your account go on negative. Indirect robbery is happening and we weren't able to make questions.

My expectations were high today from Punjab King's top order. Because the match was very important for them. But the performance of Punjab's top-order 4 batsmen was poor. They can't play well. However, due to the responsible batting of the middle-order batsmen, they were able to give the target of 188 runs. Punjab could have won this match if the performance of Punjab's bowlers was good.
It's absolutely Punjab opening order didn't score significant runs which can give them hope of victory later middle order scored well and save them from small target embarrassment. But Thier bowler didn't deliver the way they can and as a result they runied all of Thier efforts, according to match statistics most of Punjab bowler has 10+ economy, anyway they lose the important match which cost them that they are officially out of the knockout stage, now the most favorite are Mumbai and Banglore both has same points and both has played same number of match now Thier selection in knockout stage will depend on Thier last victory...
Even at the failure of the opening order Punjab managed to score good. The last match have got importance, and Rajasthan Royals tried to have a better winning. However they weren't able to execute what they've planned and anyhow now the dependence of Rajasthan Royals were upon RCB to lose the match badly and Mumbai to lose the match. With the form of RCB players and the re-bounce from Mumbai Indians this isn't gonna happen this season.
