Welp! Looks like Warner is going to quit test cricket completely sometime soon since Marsh and Green are great all-rounders and he hasn't really been performing well in the current series.

He was amazing in tests before 2018, but his form has weakened since then. Hope he continues playing in other formats for a lot longer.
Now almost he is going to be 37 years old after this The Ashes series he needs to be announced from all formats specially after his performance in last IPL and now in this series he fails to give any impression which is surely big setback for him and his team already play more than 100 test matches in 12 years of his cricket with 8000+ runs and many good achievements wants to announce this after winning this The Ashes because most chances he will be not going to have his spot into World Cup spot after performance like this in last few months.

His ODI career is also having not good record but as I watch him in IPL there was feeling he will announce about his career but look like he is mentally not ready for this, but he needs to announce as soon as possible because many youngsters are already having good chance for filling this spot quickly in coming Australian season.

I am trying to collect money to invest in Bitcoin for this I have decided to do agricultural work on other people's land and dreaming of investing some of the hard earned money in Bitcoin regularly. My money is small so I am trying to hold bitcoin for long term so that I can fulfill my dream.

I firmly believe that there is a possibility of achieving a large amount of money in the future. My teacher advises me to hold my investments on bitcoin for longer period ‍so that i can achieve the greatest success in my life.

83  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - how low will we go in 2023? on: July 10, 2023, 11:16:15 AM
It is unknown no one can pin point the exact price of btc from the start, no one knows how low it will go and no one knows how fast it will recover from dip.mostly btc is being affected buy some negative news that is why it drops beyond the limits, but if there are also a good news it will also recover very fast so i think we need to be more active on the different news.
Yes, of course no one knows for sure, but we can predict it with various aspects so that speculation arises and that will be done by everyone who trades or invests in Bitcoin.
If you look at the price movement of Bitcoin over the course of the year then I don't think we're ever going to go under 20k anymore, now there's a lot of pushing for this slow movement to move on the upswing, I'm sure of that.
Do you think that people expected the price of Bitcoin to go as low as $16k when it touched $69k? I don't think so, and what that proves? It proves that Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, in general, are unpredictable and highly volatile, so we can't really be sure if Bitcoin will drop back to $20k or below or not because anything is possible when it comes to cryptocurrencies. A couple of bad news circulating in the market can cause great damage to the price.

I don't want any of that to happen, of course, because I also want the price to go up just like everyone else, but what I said is a fact and we should always think factually and consider all the outcomes instead of thinking about one and ignoring the second, that way, we can always be ready for both situations.
84  Economy / Gambling / Re: Some poker terminologies you may want know on: July 10, 2023, 06:41:48 AM
To dismiss luck as irrelevant and declare poker purely a game of skill would be overstating the case. Both chance and skill are essential to the outcome of any game, including poker. While a more seasoned player has a statistical edge, the luck of the draw can always swing the game in another player's favour.

The analogy to chess is, well, not perfect. In a game of chess, all of your opponent's pieces and their prospective actions are completely visible to you, while in a game of poker, certain information is concealed from you. Because of this, bluffing becomes an essential part of the game of poker. Therefore, it is more of a subjective than objective comparison to say that poker is easier than chess.
I keep repeating the same thing whenever I see someone referring to Poker as a game of skill and not luck while in reality, it's a game of both luck and skills, how the hell would someone be able to win against someone who has flush having only a two of a kind in his hand? So, you might be a good player of Poker and you know bluffing and all other stuff that might give you an edge over newbies, you definitely need luck on your side in order to get good hands.

Almost every single card game is about the cards that you get and those cards are what determine the level of your luck at a particular time, if you are not getting good cards at a session, it simply means that your luck is not on your side and you are most likely going to lose more than win in that session.

Scam, death both have in altcoins market so why you want investing altcoins?
My opinion buy dip and sold faster on some profits like to be best revenge for all altcoins investors!
What's your skills and opinion? 
If we see the complete picture and not only the investments and risks, altcoins have played a great role in the global adoption level of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular, a lot of projects have spread so widely and introduced cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin to masses which greatly increased the adoption level, we all know that when someone comes to know about cryptocurrencies, it's not possible for them to not know about Bitcoin since it's the king.

So even if investments in altcoins can have great risks, they are always an important aspect of the cryptocurrency industry because Bitcoin would never be able to gain this much success if it was alone and there were no altcoins at all, it would reach this place someday but altcoins helped boost the adoption.
86  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 09, 2023, 08:40:51 AM
The change of Napoli's coach will be a big strength with the new strategy that will be used. We all know Napoli reigns over the top of the Serie A standings and leaves all the teams with the highest points tally. By having a TOP striker like Victor Osimhen Napoli are confident to continue to pose a threat to their opponents.
Victor Osimhen also seems to be a threat to other clubs such as Real Madrid who are planning to be given a salary of 100 million Euros, but Napoli gave a salary of 120 million Euros so he can sign a long contract for Napoli. Apart from Victor Osimhen, Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo is also one step away from signing a long-term contract with Napoli. this proves that Napoli will not give up its great players just like that. president Aurelio De Laurentiis doesn't want a complete overhaul, so is working on new contracts for a handful of players.
No friend. A change of coach will be a blunder for Napoli next season. Even though he is still decorated by the existing squad, if the coach is unable to provide a more impressive strategy in every match, of course it will be a difficulty for Napoli next season. Like Chelsea where the change of coach has dropped their mentality up the table. But we don't want to see that at Napoli and we hope they can be more successful next season.

For other teams, of course they will provide more impressive competition next season, such as Inter Milan, which is building a stronger squad. Inter milan is a strong candidate as a competitor with Napoli in the race for the title next season. Thuram presence will bring fresh air to Inter Milan's front line next season.
Upon checking all details about new coach of Napoli things are looking not impressive because he never won anything big in his career even he is knowledgeable and good manager but after checking current situation of top Italian League teams most chances they will be fought for the title with Inter Milan because no other team is currently in good position to have any chance for the going hard against these two clubs.

If Napoli able to keep few top players then surely things could be interested and Napoli will be not easy team for any opponent but here we also need Rudi Garcia do his all tactics aggressively like we have from the outgoing champion coach Luciano Spalletti mostly other teams are struggling due to finances and have no quality players which will be also advantage for them.
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 08, 2023, 05:24:41 PM
Mason Mount is important player for Chelsea but faced difficult get regular position last season and looks not happy stay with Chelsea until his contract over, seems logic when loss position as main player move to other team who guarantee with more minutes playing is the best choose for Mount. Kai Havertz seems the same thing happen for him, including not in scheme under Pochettino has potential for him spent more in the bench and joining with Arsenal will make difference to get more minutes playing.

But still unbelievable with Chelsea transfer activities, they have sell many important players without get balance between player out or in and I don't optimist with Chelsea has promising performance in this season and back to the top fourth standing positon.
Currently, Chelsea and Pochettino first strategy is brought this club in balance because in last season they bought 35 players which was massive burden on these clubs finances and mostly players were not active due to many issues giving them salaries and other expense were creating problems for them as well after offloading few players they need to have look at their current squad and then work on how things will be work for them in coming season because new coaches failure or pass is second thing first they need to work on their squad and things which will bring better environment in this club after worst end of last season.

They still have too many quality players just need to handle them and have good time of playing for them with depth in performance as well with the sell of few players now they have enough money which they can use in future and also can settle their finances which was disrupting in last season.

CEX or DEX doesn't matter - you can still lose your funds.
My point is :

-Your CEX is hacked : risk for your funds + risk for your personal data
-Your non-KYC service is hacked : risk for your funds

A CEX is more risky from my point of view

And about Bisq, apart if the user downloads a fake software of Bisq, I don't really see what could go wrong ? its way of functioning is very protective of user funds
You are right that when a centralized exchange faces exploits or hacks, it also has the risk of losing users' personal data to hackers or exploiters as well along with the funds, which is not the case with decentralized exchanges since they don't have any personal data of their users, but to be honest, people still prefer using centralized exchanges because they provide more tools and products and better opportunities such as competitions and stuff.

One more thing that mainly why people prefer using centralized exchanges is because they have the most liquidity for almost every single coin or token. Take Binance as an example, any token or coin listed in Binance will have the most liquidity available on Binance.

As far as I know Zidane had received an offer to coach PSG but yes, Zidane turned it down so with this refusal it seems that PSG also did not make continuous efforts to get Zidane. But yes, I think the target of being able to recruit Zidane may have been forgotten at this moment because after all, PSG has also succeeded in recruiting Luis Enrique, of course Luis Enrique also has good qualities in building a team with a star squad.
There are several reasons why Zidane didn't become PSG coach, even though in the past there were rumors that intensively reported that Zidane was one of the potential candidates for PSG coach. Zidane rejected the offer for several reasons.
And the decision for Luis Enrique's agreement as the main coach has been officially launched by PSG. This is a little surprising because previously there were several other names that were rumored to be on several lists. Enrique also chose PSG because he wanted to coach the best squad that was indeed more competitive and always wanted to be in first place. But the next homework he had to do was how to bring PSG to the UCL, which this big club had always wanted to win.
After the end of his career with Real Madrid he never has any desire for any team's coaching even Brazil national team's offer rejected by him with PSG owners offer him job with blank check, but he never accepts this as well which make things clear he is having just one target which is only coaching of France national team coach which is not coming in near future because current coach already extended his contract until 2026 world cup so after this now he is living without any job and just waiting for this opportunity.

Before Luis Enrique things were clearly indicating he can join this club, but we have nothing from his side and then PSG management use other options which are also good because he is also well experienced coach and can do good for the club, and they can win their most desired trophy Champions League.

Why the heck are England screwing themselves once again when the bowled so freaking well? Losing 3 wickets for just 68 runs is really bad and it will put a ton of pressure on the other batsmen.

Am expecting them to surpass the target and provide a small lead to Australia though since they still have plenty of proper batsmen left.
English top order badly exposed in this series with no one able to give them good start at the end we have only Joe Root who is doing this all for years with sadly they completely fail to bring any consistent batsman specially against top teams like Australia and India now we are having third and most interested test match of this series and England done good job in bowling with the help of Wood and Woakes but their all hard work going to be in vain as their top order once again completely fail to give them anything positive.

Now we have only Joe Root, Jonny Baristow and captain Ben Stokes which can do something good if they want to come back into this series, otherwise things are looking not good even after having good start of this test match.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: July 07, 2023, 04:03:09 AM
I watched the first half of Galatasaray Hull City game yesterday. Unfortunately, I couldn't watch the second half. Galatasaray dominated the first half of match. The visiting team could not show much presence except for a goal position in the first half. I saw a lot of criticism about some of the Galatasaray players but I don't think it is necessary at this point of the season. It is only the beginning of July and this match is friendly game. Also in the second half, Okan coach played the young players.
In first half they were in complete control and have three quick goals which was impressive but in second half as we have all 11 players change things gone in wrong way and in last 10 minutes Hull City score three goals which give them shocking win even as many talking about this is friendly and first match of this season but still things are not looking good for the Champions, and they have to do something better for having another good season in Turkish League and also having spot into Champions League.

Hopefully before start of season management will be done all required settlements which will bring improvement in performance because they need to be at their best for having better results and going through consistently defence needs more improvement which is a big problem for them surely in coming season.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 07, 2023, 03:09:44 AM
I don’t know how exactly this data was collected so I can’t be too dismissive of it, but I tend to think that there probably isn’t such a big difference between men and women when it comes to gambling. Sure, I’ve heard Men have more addictive personalities, but when it comes to gambling styles I would hesitate to base things on sex.
The only difference between men and women when it comes to gambling is the quantity, you can barely find women gamblers anywhere in the world, I know there are, but they are not as many as men in gambling spaces and that is because men tend to like gambling and taking risks more than women, there is nothing about sex or anything but it's simply a matter of personal choices and preferences of different men and women but the nature of women is mainly against gambling.

If we talk about gambling styles, if I talk about my personal experience, I've mostly seen women playing slots more than any other gambling game, the reason for that might be because it's easy to play and has engaging graphics, etc. And one reason could also be that slot games usually give big multipliers.
93  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: July 06, 2023, 04:04:10 PM
In some cases, these casinos claims of hack as a result of data leakage which I see as a cooked up story. In the real sense, most data are being traded in exchange for something based on their agreement.
trading data that the casino might carry out to other parties, it is actually detrimental to the casino. maybe you can argue about their hacked security system, but that will reduce the member's trust.
this kind of thing usually happens in casinos that are almost bankrupt. or indeed their reputation has started badly. so they no longer care about the data being sold. because maybe casinos like that can close their casinos and do similar businesses with different names.
Well, this is basically the reason why using new and untrustworthy casinos is not a good option, one might use a new casino if they want to check it out but they should never complete their KYC verification with them because they are not trustworthy and don't have a good reputation so they can do almost anything with users' data, so a user joining a new platform only to try it out should basically never provide them their personal documents as that isn't free of risk.

I understand that hacks and exploits can even happen with reputable platforms but at least they wouldn't sell the data only to get money which is what a new and untrustworthy casino might do if they need money or even if they are planning to scam their gamblers and run away with their funds.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: July 06, 2023, 01:05:59 PM
Zuckerberg is younger than Musk. He does not go to the gym but works out regularly and appears more flexible than Musk. Musk seems taller than Mark - a tall and bulky opponent in boxing is always difficult to defeat. If they were to fight, which I doubt would happen, Musk would likely be the winner. It seems like some kind of marketing strategy, and we should not expect anything better for the cryptocurrency community. Mark wanted his own cryptocurrency for his own profit, and Musk has been manipulating the market. Nothing new, as this is how billionaires amass billions.
I believe everyone knows that there isn't going to be a real fight between the billionaires but we are definitely confused as to what the actual motive is behind all this. I mean, it is not like they are people who don't have enough money or fame to do something like this to catch the attention of the world or to promote their projects or products and stuff, they don't really need to do that because they have everything they could ask for in this world.

So even though I know nothing is going to happen, I'm just curious to hear what the actual reason was behind all this if that ever happens, I doubt if they will reveal the reason behind this to the public but I'm sure there is something which we can't see and they are doing it only for that.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the USD loose it's kingship? Who will it loose it to? on: July 06, 2023, 07:06:33 AM
No one knows — but one thing's for sure, it will take a while for it to happen if it were to happen. And while it will likely be a major country(or BRICS) that would replace it(if it actually happens), let's just hope that it's BTC lol.
Bitcoin could surely be used as a currency for trade between nations, but it is not really suitable to be used as a reserve due to its volatility which can make any nation lose the great value of its national reserves if the price of Bitcoin falls all of a sudden, though it can also grow if it goes up it still wouldn't be an appropriate choice since both scenarios can go to any extent and it will have great impacts on the economy of that nation using Bitcoin as a reserve currency.

So Bitcoin wouldn't take the place of USD and become the global trading and reserve currency, if USD is to lose its throne and another currency is to take its place, it will probably be a currency from another powerful country with a great economy and its currency has a good value which doesn't fluctuate much.

Steven Gerrard will now join Nuno Espirito Santo and Jorge Jesus in the bubbling Saudi Professional League. This set of coaches will bring the European experience to the league and we might start seeing the impact from this season. Gerrard is a football legend with a whole lot of experience that will benefit the players of Ettifaq FC. But his last coaching job in the English Premier League with Aston Villa didn't end well because he was sacked due to poor performance.

For them to compete with top teams like Al Nassr and Al-Ittihad, Gerrard has to come up with sound coaching strategies and ensure he maximizes the players at his disposal. His influence and good relationship with his former players might lead to the signing of some players from the English or the Scottish league because he needs to rebuild the team. He might be able to replicate his performance in Rangers.
Congratulations to Stephen Gerrard, it’s good to see him return to managerial duty. I love it when ex players transition into managerial roles, most of them make really good managers and I am delighted with this news of Gerrard appointment. The Saudi pro league shouldn’t be as difficult as managing a premier league team if the former Wolves and Tottenham manager can be successful and win the league trophy, there is every possibility that Gerrard will succeed there too.
Legendary Steven Gerrard having new job as this is going to be good for him because after winning Scottish League with Rangers things were good but suddenly Aston Villa experience was going against him and many were feeling he could be failure as coach but now from Saudi Pro League he can change his future as we have Xavi which was in Qatar before joining Barcelona, so this is going to be tested case which can bring him back in limelight for the European job which is surely dream for the person like Steven Gerrard.

Al-Ettifaq which was seventh in last season under Spanish coach Cazorla now looking for the better end of next season as they are also active in transfer window, hopefully things will be positive for the new coach and this team in coming season.

I think Patrick Vieira can do a good job at Strasbourg in the French League; theres a believe that if the Premier League is too good for your skills; then the French League can be a good one for you, vice versa too. Did Patrick Vieira do a good job at Crystal Palace? YES; Did he make the good performance consistent? NO. I think with the experience from EPL, Patrick Vieira can take Strasbourg to a better level.
@ampere here I am agreed with you about this Patrick Vieira was surely good player and his start with Crystal Palace was also not bad at all even in last few weeks he was badly down and lost his job, but it's not mean he can't do anything good in his future now Strasbourg which was hardly prevented from relegation now having his services hopefully these both will be done good as they need to be stayed in Ligue 1 and for this Patrick Vieira surely need to make good things with available sources.
Premier League is surely one of the toughest league and French Ligue 1 is surely relatively have some space where he can manage something positive, and we can expect good performance from Strasbourg and new coach as well.

Gambling is predominantly female, with males outnumbering it, which is in all countries. In different countries, offline casino sites are more male than female. However, nowadays women also play a lot of gambling in online casinos, but less than men. Men always think of how to make quick money through gambling and other illegal ways to improve their lives. But a woman doesn't have such an alternative plan, so instead of getting addicted to gambling, she plans to spend her future well. And because of such alternative planning of women they are not interested in gambling but men are more addicted to gambling.
Gambling is all about taking risks, and women tend to not take a lot of risks especially when it comes to putting money on the line, they generally stay away from such things and that is the reason why they don't gamble much, some women do, of course, but the majority of gamblers are men because they take risks more often then women and they believe in the theory that you can only get huge rewards if you take big risks and gambling is exactly about that.

Women usually either like spending their time and money on things that give them something in return, maybe do some shopping, buy things for the home or themselves, or maybe even make investments where they are sure that they will get something in return, but they don't waste any money on things like gambling.
99  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: July 05, 2023, 05:01:03 PM
And if their friends already know that someone is already addicted to gambling, they can approach him and try to get him out of gambling while giving him a choice of activities to do. This will make people addicted to gambling think that they still have many choices of activities that they can use to reduce their gambling activities. And after knowing this, he can tell that he wants to stay away from gambling but still can't. I think his friends will help him to reduce his gambling time and even help him to cure his gambling addiction.
It is better and advisable to recapture that a problem shared is half addressed. Approaching someone who is addicted to gambling and convincing them to stop is a difficult exertion; it takes a long time before things turn out correctly. Addicts have little regard for their winnings, especially when watching gambling games. We can carefully supply recreational activities that will keep them busy, and gradually they will avoid betting games, thereby permitting them to see the truth. Their huge losses, disadvantages, and repercussions if they do not stop gambling.
Gamblers who don't acknowledge the fact that they are addicted to gambling are a pretty difficult case to handle to be honest, because even if you want to get them to do some other activity so that they stay way from gambling, they wouldn't agree to do that in the beginning and will insist they will gamble instead because they don't even see this as an issue at all, and if you try and force them, they will take it very seriously and might even start fighting with you.

So making someone do other activities and get engaged otherwise is only possible if they understand that gambling is taking a lot of their time and money and it isn't good for them, and that is when if you ask them for assistance, they will be more than happy to accept that because all they might need is your company in the first place.
100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: July 05, 2023, 02:04:11 PM
..
It does increase the chance of winnings but the problem is, does the amount of ticket in hand does have a huge impact on that chance?  So we better calculate if it is worth spending extra before buying the amount of ticket in the lottery.
Couldn't agree more!
If we take the national lottery as example then we are talking about millions of tickets being sold. If you buy one ticket, you have a small chance to win. If you buy ten tickets then you have increased your chances of winning ten times but those chances are still small given the huge number of sold tickets. Personally, I prefer buying a single ticket and hope for the best.
I've literally seen people spending thousands of dollars on lotteries to win the main prize but they ended up winning very small prizes and sometimes even not winning a prize at all, so it's simply wasting your money when your winning and losing is totally dependent on your luck and nothing else, even if you get higher chances of winning if you have more tickets, that doesn't really guarantee that you will actually win a prize at least enough to cover the cost of the tickets.

That's why, I always say that one shouldn't go above and beyond their limits when buying lottery tickets and only a small amount of tickets should be enough for one to check their luck, if they are lucky, their ticket will get a prize even if it's only one out of millions, and if they aren't, they won't win even with millions of tickets.
