781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: October 17, 2023, 04:07:58 PM
Aside the fact that women don't personally like gambling, there are other factors like religious or cultural believes that prohibits women participation in gambling or even some sporting activities as the cultural or political law of some countries may states, though we cannot count on this as denial on human rights but just a way to honour women with such a high prestige and esteem in the society.
If we relate religious or cultural factors then gambling activities are still prohibited regardless of gender, but if we talk about countries that have regulated gambling there are no special rules that prohibit gambling based on gender, it's just that the percentage of women involved in gambling is very low because they are not interested gambling. However, women as treasurers for managing family finances are advised not to get involved in gambling. Women gain confidence in managing finances because women are very responsible for every expense. So without comparing equality in gambling, but to be honest I hope that women don't gamble too often because they will have a harder time getting out of the influence of gambling addiction compared to men.
Gambling may be religiously prohibited for both men and women but whether or not to accept it is their own personal responsibility. But if we consider the current situation, gambling is a very attractive platform for both men and women. However, many places do not allow women to gamble due to cultural and religious norms. They play a special role in society for family maintenance which is not possible for men. Because of this, in many parts of the world, men only do the work of earning, while women do the housework, and in many places, both men and women work together. But still women contribute more to the family. As a result, it is very difficult for them to spend extra time for gambling. From that perspective, women will lag behind in gambling.

Those who think about crypto investment as a quick rich scheme, easy money, or instant ROI will always end up quitting. It is very important that we know the behavior of the market before investing and this is usually missed by new investors and then blame the volatility of the market for their tragic losses which in fact, is their fault. Because the more we understand the market, the more we control ourselves. It is all about embracing and adopting the natural flow of the market which many people haven't done but instead, they do against and even want to control it.
Almost the average person who considers Cryptocurrency investment as a get-rich-quick scheme in the end has to lose everything because they invest carelessly without considering the risks and not infrequently we also find them prefer to put their funds into shitcoin because seeing the price sometimes there is a strong incentive to make them tempted and think that it will be a shortcut to get rich if they invest with these coins but in reality they only have to feel the loss, basically there is no investment that promises we will get rich quick.
It is true that there are no investments in crypto space that offer any guarantees. However, if we consider from all the coins, the situation of Bitcoin is completely different. But the point that everyone must accept is that nothing good can ever come without long-term investment. For those who invest in crypto only to get rich, crypto will not behave very positively until they acquire good knowledge of the market. But a good point here is that only a small fraction of the total population of the world people are involved in crypto when more and more people will start coming to crypto then the investors of this time will surely be able to get more than their hopes from here. So an investor needs to get a better understanding of cryptocurrency over time rather than getting it fast.

Sri Lanka today got a good start. Openers gave a stand of 125 runs and if rest of batters played with responsibility then SL have chance to cross 300 runs. Sri Lankan batsmen scored 344 runs in last game but there bowling failed to defend such a huge target. Today its Australia and they have lost both of there opening games so far and they must be looking for there first win today. Definitely it will be a good contest today.
The Sri Lankan team had a good chance but it remains to be seen how well they can implement. Because the match was stopped for some time due to rain, a wicket fell after it resumed. A total of 5 wickets fell to Sri Lanka's current total of 181. They still have a long way to go if they want to run towards 300 runs. Another wicket fell. It is now almost certain that the Sri Lankan team is unlikely to go much further. It will be difficult to beat the Australian team in this score if the position of the Australian team is not good in this World Cup. A similar situation happened in the Pakistan vs India match. The middle order had completely collapsed. Today the Sri Lankan team is going to have the same fate.

Yes. Live within your means. Do not live with life’s luxuries, but chose to live a simple life. If you do that, your life will be more at peace. And stay focus to yourself and your family, do not entertain destructions that will only lead you to ruin your set limits. And as much as possible, be grateful for what you have, but always encourage yourself to never limit yourself to only single skill and single job. Develop more skills so that you can also increase your sources of income. If that happens, you will never be drown into debt but will even make your life more meaningful and progressive.
Its looks simple, life based on how much your income and not push your self with luxuries life if your income low range, regarding with many kinds of loan interested from debit card until online place for taking loan its not good ideas have to push up luxuries life with low range and have take much loan. I think when having low range financial condition try to make effective with all outcome and balance with passive income receiving, don't be shy around environment when they have luxuries life but make balance between income and life condition. One thing when you have low range income under $500 each month don't try to buy car with credit way, better use motor bike with lower range based on lower financial income than have to pay loan interested every month for showing to the other about luxuries life when having car.
Nowadays a tendency works in our mind where a person cannot afford to buy a thing but he does so with various loan facilities. As a result, when he continues to pay monthly installments, he tries very hard to reduce the expenses of his family to pay the monthly payment. But here, if he had saved some money instead of taking any kind of loan, he would not have been under too much pressure. It is a suicidal decision when we think of purchasing various expensive products to adapt ourselves to our environment. If I start borrowing once with bank loan or credit card then it will continue which can be life threatening. We should do whatever we can. If we follow others, we will invite our own disaster.

The fourteenth match of the World Cup will be played today at Ekana Sports City, Lucknow. After the first upset in this World Cup yesterday, today Australia will be taking on Srilanka. Australia is at the bottom of the points table with 2 losses. The reason being their net run rate of -1.846. Srilanka has also lost 2 matches but are ranked on the 8th position. Today's game is expected to be a close one. Betting odds confirmst Australia as the favourite to win.

Betting Odds

Australia - 1.28
Srilanka - 3.85

Do you guys think Australia will be able to make a comeback into the tournament?
The 14th World Cup match of ICC Men's World Cup 2023 will be played today between Australia vs Sri Lanka. Today the two participating teams have played two matches each in the World Cup but neither team has won. The game will be played between the two teams in Lucknow city at 2:30 PM. But in terms of predictions, I can predict a win for Australia today. I will not bet on Australia vs Sri Lanka today as it is very unsafe for me to bet with these two teams. Australia once looked like a very strong and reliable team but now they have weakened the team with very poor performances. However, let's see how any team can win on today's playing field. Because whoever is considered weak is winning this World Cup by performing well.
In this World Cup, Sri Lanka played two matches and could not win either, while Australia also has the same situation. Australia Cricket is currently at the bottom of the points table. As both teams are playing with similar positions, today between the two teams whoever wins will secure their first win by getting two points. But even in such a match it is not guaranteed. Because rain delay is already influencing the match. If the match does not take place in the end, there will be no motion except for the sharing of match points. Hope it will be possible to manage the match. The current situation of the Sri Lankan team is good. 178 runs in 32 overs with the loss of just four wickets. If they put up a good partnership then they will approach 300 runs in the match so the match will definitely be competitive. But if by the DLS method reduce over then Australia will have chances as the team is very strong in short format.

The current global situation is not the same as it was 20 years ago. Earlier when a person could easily expect a good job after completing his varsity life it is not possible anymore. On the one hand, the population has increased along with the competition, on the other hand, the employment opportunities are not increasing. As a result, if the target youths end their academic studies and lead an unemployed life, then it will be a threat to their lives as well as to the country. At this moment every graduate and under graduate should be productive and self employed. Thinking of academic studies to manage personal life and should be proactive and productive otherwise it would be difficult to establish oneself in this competitive world.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 15, 2023, 05:50:31 AM
In the India vs Pakistan match, Pakistan scored 191 runs in the first innings and lost all the wickets. India are currently batting as Rohit Sharma continues his brilliant batting performance to meet the target set by Pakistan.
Pakistani middle order really bull shit the entire momentum Carrey on by baber and Rizwan, I didn't expect Pakistani middle order will be exposed in such way. It's really disappointing moments for any fan cricketing fan because we want a tough competition and victory with a narrow margin for any deserving team but unfortunately paksitan unable to done his job properly, one things every Pakistani fan should understand that paksitan batting order is litterely trash rather than baber and Rizwan and if you has to win the match then entire team contribution is really necessary.
India won by 7 wickets. India chase down the target 192 runs in loss of 3 wickets in just 30.3 Overs. India Captain Rohit Sharma brilliant 86-run inning and Shreyas Iyer fifty have 53 runs unbeaten in just 63 runs easy win for India against Pakistan in Ahmedabad. Shaheen Shah Afridi bowling performance is outstanding picked 2 wickets by giving 36 runs in 6 overs. An incredible performance by the Indian bowlers, creating pressure and ultimately leading to the Pakistan from 152 runs in loss of 2 wickets to 191 runs all out. The player of the match is Jasprit Bumrah for his amazing bowling performance picked 2 wickets by giving 19 runs in 7 Overs.
First thing I want to say that Good job Indian team they do not break their winning streak today they already won three matches of World Cup and now let's see how will they continue this streak in upcoming matches from other teams. Beginning of Pakistan's batting, some players showes actual struggle when Babar dismissed from pitch after scoring 50 runs for Pakistan then next batter players dismissed from the field after scoring few runs like 2, 4 and 6 runs. Their bowling and fielding was also very bad. Right now, India team is in top position by winning all past matches they were played including this one. Sharma performance was outstanding not only in today's match rather in past matches. Their bowling attacking was too strong in this match. I hope they perform well in next match verses Bangladesh team.

Apart from Pakistan's first 4 batsmen, no one can score runs. Pakistan's middle order players in particular batted like fools. I can't even imagine that Pakistan's middle order will do such a bad thing. Now I don't see any difference between Pakistan team and Bangladesh team. Bangladesh's top order is weak and Pakistan's middle order.
The team lost the match due to poor performance. I will not blame the bowlers. It was impossible to win with so few targets. Indian batsmen dominated from the beginning of the innings. Even then, the Pakistani bowlers managed to pick up three wickets. However, I have no expectations from Pakistan in this World Cup. The team cannot even be in the top 5 of the table.
Looking at the batting of Pakistan's middle order in the last match, it seems that they are still in experience in cricket. But at one time this team won the World Cup. There is a lot of lack of confidence among them. Especially when Pakistan comes to play against India, panic works among them. Pakistan gave a professional match against Sri Lanka where they managed to chase down a big score for just three wickets while the team once again ended their innings scoring just 190. But I think the Sri Lankan team has improved a lot in this aspect. There is no continuity among the three teams Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Anything can happen at any time.

Your post is right, playing gambling will not lead us to wealth, even you may lose many people who are very valuable, because all you think about is winning and curiosity, it is difficult for people who are addicted to gambling to escape. they will continue to borrow money from the closest people, my advice is better not to make gambling your main job, it is very unlikely to get profit.
You`re talking about addiction but not about gambling. Common gambler can gamble without any problems - he spend the planned sum and time and sometimes wins. The professional gamblers get stable income from gambling. For lots of them - it becomes the main income. The gambling isn`t a problem, the problem is addiction of some people that believe in easy money.
The effects of gambling is majorly determined by the way an individual is playing gambling. For some, they're addicted to gambling and has seen it as their only source of income and that in return will definitely ruin your life if you continue to with gambling addiction. To others, they gamble on intervals and also gamble within the the limit of a certain amount that's been budgeted for gambling and these are the set of gamblers who are always winning their gambles because they do have a lot time that's good enough to help become strategic and careful their gambling.
I see here a huge quantity of advices how to exit gambling, but i don`t see such threads with discussion like "how to get stable profit from the casino". As for me it would be more interesting than addicts discussion.
Are you encouraged to discuss the possibility of making a stable income from any casino game? Definitely it is not possible but from what I understand you are talking about the positivities rather than the negativity. We often discuss the addictive aspects of casino gambling but even then, addicted gamblers or casual gamblers do not heed that advice. They may think that gambling is only a center of pleasure but gamblers consider it as a source of income some have even lost a lot of money. The main focus is on how a gambler can continue his gambling for a long time without becoming addicted. If a gambler loses his assets by gambling without knowledge of gambling, he will be in trouble. Therefore, many aspects of responsible gambling practice are often discussed. Here the gambler is not prohibited from gambling but how he will not be addicted to gambling, how he can manage gambling responsible which are discussed.

Another one-sided contest, fans had high expectations regarding the stats, still Pakistan failed again mainly their batting unit looks too weak now, and they need to work on it if they want to beat big teams in the upcoming matches or else there is no place for them in top 4.

Hitman played tremendously, and he kept that attitude since the first ball of that inning and goes all guns blazing against all the bowlers. Now team India is in the top 1 position because of their better NRR and it starts to look like India is going to be a team that can beat all the teams in this tournament just due to their excellent performance in both batting and bowling unit.

This is the eight times that India has defeated Pakistan in the World Cup. I never expected Pakistan to lose all their wickets in just a few overs. They once had lost only 2 wickets with 155 runs on the scoreboard. As soon as Babar Azam got out everything went haywire for Pakistan.

Indian bowling was exceptionally good again today. The bowlers were able to do what the captain wanted them to. Shiraj was hit so badly in his previous overs. Still he came back big time to claim the first Pakistani batter. Bhumrah had the best figures today, took 2 wickets and gave only 19 runs. This defeat will affect the Pakistani teams performance in the World Cup.

This was not about Pakistan losing wickets quickly in the middle order. If you analyze, the top 4 batsmen were struggling to score freely and they were just going at almost 5 runs per over and saving their wickets. They approach this match with a defensive approach and any team who plays with this approach will usually lose the match.

Talking about the Indian bowling, they really bowled well and kept the Pakistan batsmen under check and balance. I would not like to discuss about the Indian batting because any team can chase the 190 odd runs on these batting pitches and the Indian batting did it in style.
There was no difficulty in understanding that Pakistan were struggling to score.  In the beginning they continued to score the way they were scoring, around 300 would have been expected in the match. Where the project score showed more than 300 after losing the first 2 wickets. But what bad luck for them after Babar Azam's out, their whole team started falling apart one by one. Babar Azam was a turning point for the Pakistan team when he scored 50 runs. But due to his carelessness, he got bowled out and had to go back. That is where Pakistan fell. It is always said that when Pakistan's top order collapses, their entire team is finished. The situation in yesterday's match indicates that direction. To beat a team like India now, they need a lot more skills which they don't have in their team at the moment.
790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: October 15, 2023, 04:46:23 AM
I think that bitcoin was created to kill the dollar, even though it could take 100 to 200 years to play out.
I remember when the war broke out between Ukraine vs Russia, at that time Ukraine received many helplines via Bitcoin which were sent by many people in the world. Bitcoin has better advantages than Fiat. Yes Bitcoin will slowly kill the Dollar. If you say 200 years in the future that makes sense because Bitcoin takes a lot of time to collapse the dollar. Mass adoption also continues to see a good rise in the development of Bitcoin as many companies have seen Bitcoin as a healthy currency for them to have in their treasuries.

Developing countries will continue to follow the development of Bitcoin from time to time and it is very likely that the entire world community will make Bitcoin their target investment vehicle and fiat inflation will make Bitcoin one of people's goals for owning it.
Usually we can witness conventional war by arms directly but we are unable to witness unconventional warfare which are remains ongoing all times all over the world which are Economic war. In the past we have seen how a country's currency after a long period of dominance has collapsed again. There is no guarantee that the dollar will not break even. In the meantime, the decline of the dollar has been seen in various ways. There is competition due to the currency of a particular country. But if Bitcoin occupies that place once here, it will be universal, so it is not possible for any country or nation to try together with a group of nations to collapse Bitcoin.

What fiat is doing can be done with Bitcoin, we are already enjoying some benefits with Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is widely accepted all over the world we will be able to receive all kinds of benefits through Bitcoin. The things that Bitcoin is doing is not possible with fiat. We can understand its advantage very easily when a war is consisted with a country or for any other reason when money is needed quickly we can pay quickly through only Bitcoin. We often take help of Bitcoin for this kind of quick help during times of war. Bitcoin dominates only 1 percent of the world so there is no end to people's interest around it. What will be the situation when it increases to 10 percent? Within next 15 years we will be able to see a massive changes in the bitcoin domination in the world.

Gambling is a place to spend money, although many gamblers consider casinos to be a place to earn money. But in reality, more gamblers lose their money at casinos or gambling sites. So I think all of us here probably have almost the same experience, namely losing a lot of money gambling

I also lost money because I lost on gambling, but maybe not that much. But I know there are people who spend a lot of money for gambling. In your opinion, what should we do if we have lost a lot of money on gambling? Do we keep gambling to win so we can cover up previous losses? or stop and work normally and leave gambling? Or do you have other suggestions?
If you feel that you are only losing through gambling and you are not getting anything for a long time then you should definitely quit gambling. But if you feel that you have less experience and skills you need to increase it or if you're just here to gamble for fun, you can continue. But my suggestion is that you can spend a very reasonable amount of your income. If you expect more from here you will lose everything. Gambling with the idea that you will only lose. If you loss a small amount of money every month that will not hurt you.

I often lose in gambling but I have limitations. I don't gamble after losing a certain amount of money. Again in certain times I increase my bankroll. There is interest in winning in gambling but even if I lose I am not disappointed because Because I have a small budget every month..

Which is more entertaining? playing games listening to music or without music just sound of the games like roulette ball bouncing on the metal wheel or playing games in silence?
While listening to music its hard to control our emotions while losing and we are not able to concentrate on game. it is highly likely that we blow our account by betting high.
but it is more entertaining while listening music on low volume and playing games.

There are many people who love to listen to music while gambling. A different feeling is created in gambling while listening music. But not everyone likes music with gambling. Some people prefer no other type of sound while gambling. They try to play the game quietly. I have seen some of my friends gambling in a quiet environment when they gamble. If he gets any kind of sound then he feels annoyed. Also many people prefer different music for slots or dice games. Personally when I gamble I don't focus on any other sound. Because anything related to money is important to me, At that time I have no attention on anything else.

New Zealand is having then upper hand as of now, as Bangladesh has lost 3 wickets. The ever-reliable Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson have picked up the wickets. Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Tanzid Hasan are back in pavilion, while Shakib Al Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto are at the crease for Bangladesh. The Kiwi pace trio (Boult-Henry-Ferguson) have so far done a decent job. Now the focus shift to their spinners (Mitchell Santner-Glenn Phillips-Rachin Ravindra). They didn't picked Ish Sodhi for this match, which I believe may turn out to be the correct decision.
4 wickets down for 81 runs, the current run rate is hovering around 4.5. Very bad start by Bangladeshi team against the New Zealand pace attack. This pitch is helpful for pacers than spinners. I feel the a target of 250 or more is defendable on this pitch. Bangladesh need a big partnership, Shakib and Rahim needs to stop any more wickets from falling. One big partnership and this game will become balanced. For now I believe New Zealand is in control of this game.
If Bangladesh team could have scored 300 or more in the match, they had a chance. Bangladesh would not have been possible 245 if Shakib, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah had not got runs with the bat. A quick fall of the first 4 wickets brought disaster to the match and from there they turned it into a good score which is appreciable. Although in this match, New Zealand has already in the area of victory. The team will win the match if they can collect only 100 runs. The New Zealand team has been performing well since the beginning of this ODI World Cup. They have played two matches and won both and today's match is almost certain to win. So, they will be at the top of the points table.

In most of the World Cup South Africa used to have the best squad, but they turn unlucky at the important time. In recent days after the performance from South Africa, more memes have begun to roll around and the funniest I came across is Semifinals were always a nightmare for South Africa. The two matches played by South Africa were really the best and with this form it can defeat any team, but we don't know how long it continues.

They won their first match against a relatively weak team (Sri Lanka). They won against Australia after that, but it was mainly due to their opponents playing poor cricket. Their total (311/7) was not that big, but then Australian top order collapsed to 70/6 as a result of some accurate bowling by Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada. And then it was the turn of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi to mop up the proceedings. Hopefully they will be able to maintain this form through the remainder of the tournament.
Sri Lanka team is weak, but their performance isn't worse. Look at the average score at Ekana Sports City Ground, Lucknow. It is around 240 runs and what South Africa scored is really big considering the average. Australia top order collapsed, maybe that could've been managed by the middle order. In fielding the team is completely down dropping 6 catches. Maybe those catches would've changed the match in favour of Australia. South Africa is at its best and there is hope of consistent performance in this World Cup.
Sri Lankan team has done well in every match their run rate was also good. South Africa set a target of 428 runs in the fourth match ODI World Cup. Chasing a target of such a big score was really difficult. i believe that any team would have lost at that day. In this case I will not find weakness in any of them. But such a big score definitely put some pressure on their bowling line-up. On the other hand, in the 8th ODI match against Pakistan, they also collected a good score but their bowling line-up couldn't do anything there. Basically, they have added some young bowlers in their team who may not be able to make much of an impact due to their lack of experience. But I applaud their cricket.
795  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 12, 2023, 06:19:43 PM

Bitcoin is called a risky asset because of its volatile nature and that is why, one needs to invest with only the amount that he can afford to lose, so that if bitcoin price goes below his entry point, he can just ignore the price and keep on hodli. That is why it is advisable not to borrow money to invest in bitcoin so that you don't end up selling when it isn't your will, to avoid loss.
We saw Bitcoin price was stable at 30k USD few weeks back and then there is a dip triggered due to some news. Bitcoin in that DIP went down from 30k to 25k and that's the time where your nerves as a HODLER are tested. Its easy to say to HODL but not many can see there investment going down. That DIP is now over and Bitcoin price is moving up towards 30k again. If you have bought Bitcoin when it was down then surely you are getting some profit at the moment. Accumulating more when Bitcoin is down is more beneficial then when its up.

For sure, it seems that the dip from $30k to $25k is over.. but not easy to say with certainty.. since we are currently in the middle of the range.. so no one can really say for sure that the dip is over.. and that $25k support might not be broken to the downside.

It is hard to bet either way, even though sometimes people act as if they know, and then they tell you "I told you so," after the fact... but I doubt that they really know with any level of confidence that maybe at best might get into the 60% to 70% arena before all the events end up playing out. 

Sure, from time to time, there are some price set ups that make it seem more likely of one price direction or another in the short-term, but I doubt that we are currently in one of those kinds of a set up.

As we were discussing this, Bitcoin once again started going down. Right now the price is at 26.6k on CMC and we cant say with certainty that where price will go from this. 25k support may be tested once again.
People give too many predictions at times and if anyone of those went true they say "I told you so". The fact is we have seen so many predictions about Bitcoin and majority were false.
In current scenario it is easy to predict that price may restrict in 25 to 30k range because thats how bitcoin is behaving for last few months. But there is no way we can predict the long term price of Bitcoin.
I am not worried about the price. Because the war created fear in everyone's mind, but it did not have any effect in reality. Because many people use bitcoin to send money to the war area here too we find the use of Bitcoin. But we will not always take it negatively because for those of us who have been waiting to buy, an opportunity has come again. Although I think this situation may return to normal in a few days, but during this period those who exploit and buy bitcoin from the dip will be comparatively more profitable than others. Since we are committed to investing in Bitcoin for a long time, we are not worried about temporary price fluctuations.

A clear victory for South Africa! Their performance was excellent and they truly earned this win. Following today's win over Aussies South Africa is leading the points table with an impressive run rate, while Australia is second last in the World Cup points table. South Africa is considered one of the top contenders and favorites to win the World Cup. However, it's too early in the tournament to predict the final outcome. There are still many group stage games to be played. Hopefully, Australia will recover and bounce back strongly.
Terrible performance from Australia, in the first match their bowling failed and today its their batting and it feels like they are yet to find their right playing XI to the Indian condition which is a sign of worry for a mighty 5 time champion side sitting at the bottom of the table.

Hopefully they will rectify their issues and comeback stronger in the upcoming matches but already they took a big hit on their NRR so they will have extra pressure in the remaining matches which is about not just winning, they need to do it by big margin.
After today's match, I can't trust them anymore. No one has any problem understanding that they have been quite weak in this World Cup. I found their bowling and batting both weak in the India match. Batsmen in particular performed worse. We will not see them in the World Cup final by supporting their team under such circumstances. In the current conditions, I think India, England and South Africa have a high chance of winning any one of these three teams. But since Pakistan is an unpredictable team, it is not possible to guess about them. They had a good innings in the last match. We can see a good win in the next match too which is not impossible.

It may hard to believe but yes, there are really some lucky gamblers who have made a successful career in gambling. But for sure, they don’t reach that level instantly. They may have endured a lot of losses at first until they start to master their gambling strategies and attract some luck most often. Though this is really risky to consider gambling as a career, but if you are capable to make it happen, then why not? But you need to have a real job of course to back up your gambling career so that if ever you lose your luck in gambling, at least your finances will not end up collapsing as well.

Honestly I never thought if there are people who are successful in gambling, how can they be successful in a place that is only based on luck? and well this is very difficult to understand and understand, for those who are successful in gambling maybe I would not agree too much, and I think maybe for those who are successful in gambling who only rely on gambling as an intermediary for income,
Since there is no guarantee of winning in gambling, we will not win regularly in gambling and if we don't win regularly then how can we imagine it as a career. I can imagine a career where I can make regular money from gambling but is that realistically possible? I have also never seen anyone who has taken up gambling as a career. However, I have seen some gamblers who have other sources of income and also spend a long time in gambling and manage good gambling. They are very experienced. Comparatively their number of wins is not less but more than usual. We must not depend on gambling as it is uncertain. It can not be a career but an entertainment platform.

Expanding your luck doesn't make sense because it is not something you can control when it's more of a scenario that will eventually come randomly as you gamble. I understand why you don't recommend gambling all over the place, but it shouldn't have much of an impact when the same thing happens at some point in the future. There's no point in overthinking these luck-based games when even using the best strategy isn't always enough for gamblers to win their bets.

Right, luck is ofcourse is unpredictable in gambling because you cannot control it when it comes, but eventually, it will. Focusing on one game gives you a better shot when that lucky moment arrives but it is okay to enjoy and play many. Overthinking won’t help. Should do responsible gambling instead and understand the risks, set limits, and know when to stop.
If luck favor then any adversity is easy but if it is bad then nothing can make up for it. I have been focusing on one game for the past few days but luck has not favored me there. I tried again and again but I lost there. When I thought I needed to make a change. I bet on another game at that time and won. One method doesn't always work because you don't know what or how fate contribute. So sometimes if such a situation happens to someone then he must make a slight change in his bet. Maybe this strategy may be perfect for someone or  not that is not the fact.

In today's match of Australia vs South Africa team I thought Australia team will perform well and will win the match. But due to bad performance in bowling line South Africa has given a target of 311 runs in 50 overs in today's match. South Africa team batsmen have really done amazing performance. Now bat.  Australia team came to the field to do. They scored 70 runs in 17 overs. Now Australia team is under a lot of pressure after losing 5 wickets. I don't think Australia team can win in today's match.

According to the Australia score and target, I think that Australia also will lose their second match of this World Cup. South Africa gave a very good target to Australia, they gave a target of 311 score which is an awesome target. I think Australia can’t chase the target because, in the current situation, Australia lost its main players which can prevent Australia from losing.

Another thing, in most of the matches of this World Cup, we see a century from one player, and today Quinton de Kock did a century. The bowling of the Australian team is also not good. They gave away too many runs.
Australia is facing a tough challenge while chasing a big target. Their batting performance is deteriorating, which is unusual for the Australian cricket team. Throughout 2023, Australia's cricket hasn't been at its peak. The team seems to be prioritizing a T20 mode of play, emphasizing power hitting. However, they seem to struggle in developing their innings during the middle overs, resulting in a crumbling middle order.
I did not expect such performance from the Australian team. They lost badly against India in the last match and they have another loss in today's match as well. South Africa had a good start. They went a long way with the loss of 1 wicket in the batting session. They played the full 50 overs but a team like Australia who led the cricket lost all their wickets for just 177 runs against 311 runs. They have declined and the same time South African team has improved. The South Africa team's chances have increased a lot in this tournament. They deserve to win this year's World Cup.

Bitcoin has had several four-year halving cycles and those cycles have worked very well. So even someone who bought bitcoin in 2017 at 18k could sell that for a nice profit in 2022. But it would take a lot of nerves and four years of waiting. And if for example one day the cycle doesn't work, how many years will you have to wait to make a profit?
When we talk about Bitcoin investing no one can say that he will make certain profit from investing in Bitcoin. He must plan to hold it for several years or more. Not everyone will be successful in investing but those who follow the directions are more likely to succeed. Investors mentality of taking risks must be needed. DCA is a good strategy so that we can reduce the risk in our investment. This will help reduce my investment risk as well as grow my portfolio in the long run. DCA is an opportunity for those of us who can't invest in Bitcoin for money even if we want. Those who can properly utilize this opportunity are more likely to get good returns from Bitcoin in the long run. There is no alternative to patiently waiting for the desired moment.
