England collapsed like dominoes towards the end. They started so well, but messed up later on thanks to some messed up shots by some of the batsmen due to which they didn't even get close to the target.

Bazball is a good style of cricket, but it is overhyped to be honest. It clearly isn't working against powerful competitors like the Australians.

This looks bad for Stake frankly speaking since op has submitted a decent amount of evidence to prove his case while they haven't even replied yet though their team isn't really active in this forum as others have suggested.

This is just one example as to why KYC truly sucks. $6000 isn't really such a huge amount which makes this entire case even weirder.

I would say not a bad response from the Poms. For now, everything looks in balance because

First, they took the last 7 Aussie wickets quickly and gave only 100-ish runs and when it comes to bat, then they already put 100 runs on the scoreboard and lost only 1 wicket.
131/1 now. Great reply so far by the English. Cummins and Lyon are the only ones who are bowling well while Starc and Hazlewood are being taken to the cleaners and their economies are over 7 which is crazy.

England needs to continue playing in this manner, but I am expecting them to come close to the target and get all out. Let's see what happens.

Weird. Why do you think it's the Chinese that helped BTC increase in value suddenly op? I didn't read anything about them being involved with the current bull market which is why I am confused about your query.

The true reason which many posters pointed out already is due to big instituitional investors purchasing BTC rapidly triggering the bull run.

Lol. Who the heck were those 'Just stop oil' protestors? It was hilarious watching Bairstow carry one of them like he was a little kid all the way to the crowd without even breaking a sweat.

Anyway, Australia started out well thanks to Warner and England is under pressure. A draw also seems possible thanks to overcast conditions as usual.
788  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: June 28, 2023, 06:04:25 AM
Absolutely, it can still be called gambling even without money involved. The essence of gambling is staking something of value on an uncertain outcome. Money is often the most common "thing of value," but it could be anything from a prized possession to a person's time. So when playing a game for non-monetary stakes, such as pride, points, or even bragging rights, it can still be considered gambling if there's a risk and uncertainty involved.

Remember, the thrill of gambling comes from the uncertainty, not necessarily the prospect of winning money. Enjoy your games responsibly, whether they involve money or not!
What the heck are you talking about? The majority gamble in order to win big money and not for fun or the uncertainty factor. If there is no money involved, it cannot be called gambling at all.

The minority gamble for fun and the uncertainty factor matters to them, but it still can't be called gambling when money isn't involved.

The Special Grant is a wild card. Bravo ICC for World Cup sweeteners! But, wouldn't nurturing budding teams, even non-finalists, lead to a cricket bloom in those regions?
The world doesn't work that way sadly which is why it's an unfair world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer with time. Same logic applies to ICC's focus on favorites over underdogs just like in any other sport.

It all comes down to money at the end of the day and ICC stands to benefit the most by investing in favorites over the underdogs.

There is obviously a very big difference between a celebrity and an influencer, not every casino or gambling platform can afford to become partners with celebrities whether they are from sports industry or film industry or music industry, because a partnership with one of these celebrities would cost the casino way higher than having multiple influencers promote their services but the impact of all of them combined won't be enough to compete with one of the celebrity's.
Wrong. As @o48o mentioned, there is no difference between celebrities and influencers since influencers are small-scale celebrities basically. This is why they charge way lower when compared to top tier celebrities.

I do agree with your statement about a single top-tier celebrity's influence being greater than the combined impact of multiple influencers.

Has anyone noticed how messed up icc-cricket.com is? I tried visiting the site a little bit earlier and it actually crashed my chrome app repeatedly thanks to the horrendous lag which surprised me.

The ICC needs to first focus on improving their site performance on all platforms frankly speaking.

It's not free. someone pays for it
You are making zero sense here. People who post contests in the games and rounds section like me pay for them out of our own volition. The winners are receiving the prizes free of charge as long as the contests are legit.

The winners are clearly getting a free lunch which implies that your statements are wrong. Think!

If you have copied and posted from any source then please add the source link asap otherwise your post may get banned as AI generated or copy posted.
I guess he isn't aware of copy-pasting/AI related rules within this forum. It's pretty evident that he didn't actually write it all on his own looking at his post history which is why he might get screwed pretty soon.

Shortcuts like these won't work within this forum and he will learn about it the hard way.

Never heard of any of these streamers though I am only active on Instagram to be fair. Crypto gambling sites usually stand to benefit a lot more from more popular celebrities like Drake, Snoop etc when compared to these streamers.

However, smaller sites end up relying on these streamers due to budget constraints which is a risky gamble overall.

btw, if u don't mind me asking..

what did u learn to make this profit?
I learnt about some helpful trading strategies from the trading discussion section which helped me improve my HODLING approach in a big way and the returns were magnificent basically.

Also, some bounties helped me earn 4 figures risk-free for literally minimal effort on my part.

Sad to see players like Sarfaraz Khan not getting called up more often even though their domestic averages are pretty damn good. Makes sense why so many are revolting against the BCCI for focusing too much on IPL for international team selection.

Tournaments like Ranji etc will disappear pretty soon at this rate due to their dwindling importance over time.
797  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: June 24, 2023, 08:10:32 AM
I don't think that casinos or any platform ask their players or customers to complete KYC verification because they like to do it, but they do it because it is enforced by the regulatory bodies that issue licenses to these platforms, so they are basically compelled to make it mandatory for customers to complete KYC verification before they can access all the features of the platform including withdrawals which is the most important thing in my opinion.

So we shouldn't really blame the platforms for imposing KYC and making it mandatory, we know that a lot of gamblers leave a certain platform only because it requires KYC and I don't think any business would like that but they are compelled to comply with the AML rules.
I disagree. If this were truly the case, why aren't all crypto casinos enforcing mandatory KYC? I play at sites like Crypto.Games, Bitcasino, Sportsbet etc where they don't enforce mandatory KYC.

Crypto gambling sites are forced by regulators to enforce KYC for sure, but they don't need to make it mandatory under certain conditions.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: June 23, 2023, 02:17:04 PM
The IPL window is going to get extended further in the future. Right now we have 10 teams and a 2.5 month window. Sometime in the future, we might see a 20-team competition with a 4-month window.
20 freaking teams? That would be insane and I doubt that would ever happen since the current 10 team format itself attracted a lot of criticism due to prolonging the duration of seasons stressing out the players and the crowds.

And what would be the timeline for reaching 20 team competition? I believe a minimum of 20-25 years from now on.
More like never. Too many teams would imply too many matches which would mess up the entertainment factor related to the IPL.
799  Economy / Economics / Re: SEC fighting for the publics my ass on: June 23, 2023, 05:29:55 AM
It is important to acknowledge that regulatory bodies like SEC are responsible to oversee financial activities to protect investors from any potential risks, such as scams and financial frauds. The introduction of CDBC and government controlled crypto exchanges may have multiple motivations. Governments may be aiming to improve the efficiency of monetary system, promote financial inclusion and establish better transactions monitoring system.
Lol. How gullible are you to believe this crap? These central authorities don't really care much about the commoners and only focus on completing the tasks assigned to them by corrupt people above them.

Also, the world governments only focus on increasing the size of their pockets in any manner whatsoever. Think!
800  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: June 22, 2023, 01:15:57 PM
it's logical since no one would really try playing on a casino that request a KYC up front. 
This isn't accurate since many gamblers play at popular sites like Roobet, Stake etc who mandatorily enforce KYC since they trust those sites completely. Some gamblers provide fake KYC in these sites which is a risky approach.

Mandatory KYC(Any Level) sucks regardless of how popular the site is in my honest opinion.
