England's Bazball approach is something else. Harry Brook is playing like a monster and transformed this game from a test to a T-20 match. All teams need to adopt his approach asap in tests since it's so damn entertaining.

Also, the golden days of teams like Sri Lanka and West Indies might never return based on their performances in recent years.

IMO, It all comes down to sustainability, it should be multi purpose stadium so that you can have at least 20-25 international matches or leagues every year.  
Yeah. The Marvel stadium hosts different sports(Not just Cricket) which is why they don't suffer huge losses or anything. The BCCI could have built atleast one such stadium in India thanks to all the money that they ate over the years.

Such a stadium could especially be useful for the T-20 format though the balls hitting the roof now and then could be an issue.

Atleast India was able to lead the series as the team have won the first test match. With the England team it was very pity, because they had got a big opportunity to level the series and keep the series winning probability alive. Now they've missed the chance and at their best now the choice available is to level the series.
India would have whitewashed WI if they continued playing which is why they were really unlucky here thanks to rain interference. On the other hand, England would probably not win the series even if they won the 4th test.

The 5th test could end in a draw too if rain interferes once again. Rain is clearly one of the primary reasons why viewers are losing interest in tests.

Easy question op. Taking a loan will always be the better option when compared to selling properties because property prices could rise over time increasing their value while loans don't really provide any gains as time passes.

However, I hate loans and only take them if absolutely necessary which is why it's not a good idea to depend on loans for small things.

The pressure is now on England as a draw or loss in final test will cost them the series. With this draw Australia will retain the ashes but they defiantly are not favorite for the last test. England performance in last 2 matches clearly proved that they are as good as any other side.
What are you talking about? There is no pressure on England or Australia in the final test because it's a dead rubber match which was why so many England fans were praying for a favorable outcome in the 4th test.

it tough for West Indies based on the first innings performance. However they have the ability and if West Indies play real test cricket then it would be a close fight.
Lol. What ability? They got decimated by India in the first match and the same thing is happening in this match too. Think!
806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 22, 2023, 02:37:47 PM
Would be disappointing if the 4th test ends as a draw as it means AUS would retain the Ashes regardless of what happens in the 5th test. I don’t think even AUS would like to be victorious thanks to the weather.
If Australia actually retained the urn thanks to rain, it would definitely suck for both teams and rob the audience of an entertaining final test. However, it would also imply proper karma for England.

Why? Because they stole the ODI World Cup trophy from the Kiwis in a similar manner several years ago.

Yes I am 100% certain of everything (spam, inbox, messages from casino account verified). After multiple contacts with customer service they said no further need to contact them and that I should wait for their update on why my withdrawal isn’t being processed. No KYC asked.
Am surprised to hear that you didn't receive any update regarding your situation in this forum or in the site itself. I have withdrawn small and medium size amounts from Duelbits so far with zero issues.

Did you use a VPN or multiple accounts or something else? This whole case keeps getting weirder and weirder if you ask me.
808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 21, 2023, 01:19:24 PM
So probably England team will be able to collect 30-40 more runs. If the match is delayed due to rain, the Australian batsmen will be able to draw the match only if they bat responsibly. But we are not sure if we will see a better performance from the Australian batsmen in the second innings.
Am expecting England to declare pretty quickly since they don't want the match to end in a draw for obvious reasons. Australia should be thankful for rain interference since they have been playing like crap in all departments.

Hazlewood and Starc turned out to be the only decent bowlers while Cummins surprisingly couldn't claim a single wicket and gave away plenty of runs.

Observed that some posters didn't understand what I was trying to convey. Some gamblers who win big do continue gambling for sure since they are addicted to it, but some others quit after winning big in order to beat the house.

The smart ones quit when they are ahead since they are aware of the fact that it's impossible to beat the house in the long-term.

it makes me think
are there "good" gamblers? or its always luck?

 maybe the ones who manage emotions and bankroll are the good ones
There are good gamblers though you can only find them in games which rely on a combination of skill and luck like poker, sports-betting etc. They usually end up earning tons of money and quit gambling.

You won't find good gamblers in games that completely rely on luck for obvious reasons.

The ICC has released the official ODI World Cup 2023 promo video which looks great and the brand ambassador is SRK who is one of my favourite actors. Am stoked for this event which takes place in India this time around.

https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1681915591752384512

I just hope that the messed up controversial ending of WC-2019 will never repeat ever again since it ruined that event for me.
814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 19, 2023, 06:02:56 AM
If Australia wins this 4th test match, they will win the series. And if England can win it will draw 2-2. England did not perform well despite playing at England's home ground.
Am not expecting England to win the series though anything can happen in the Ashes and time has proven that again and again. Excited!

Pakistan's bowlers have not taken any wickets so far, so Sri Lanka are batting without pressure. Sri Lankan batsmen Nishan Madushka and Dimuth Karunaratne have been a great duo and if they perform well, they have a chance to score a century today. Sri Lanka are currently batting brilliantly and need 110 runs to reach the given lead whereas Sri Lanka are currently collecting 39 runs.
Karunaratne is gone. Sri Lanka is playing well at the moment which implies that this match is most likely heading towards a draw unless Pakistan manage to pick up some quick wickets soon.

Is this site legit?

What are the max limits we can get down on sports?

Are hte withdrawals actually instant?
It's totally legit. I have no idea about the max limits on sports, but they don't limit you for small amounts based on my experience. I never really had any issues with deposits and withdrawals so far.

They will request KYC if they find something suspicious or if the withdrawal is huge. Do your research!
816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: July 18, 2023, 10:43:19 AM
So why i'm asking, because in the past I have only used the big euro bookies such as bet365, bwin, unibet and a whole lot of smaller ones. The payout of the winnings always worked without any problems, if you win too much you will be limited in the amount you bet or will be blocked. That's why you buy accounts from friends, acquaintances and relatives, but at some point you don't know any more people who make their accounts available. That's why I'm looking for the larger crypto sports books with the better reputations to test them out.
I understood what you are looking for and I feel that Pinnacle is the best answer to your query since they accept several popular cryptocurrencies and don't limit winners based on my research.

Another recommendation that I would like to provide is Sportsbet who request KYC only under certain conditions though they do limit winners.
817  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 17, 2023, 02:19:59 PM
It's not possible to do because of the amount of money someone would have to bet at 1.01. A person would need to bet $1,000,000 to launder $10,000. No one is going to do that and if a person tries to cashout $1,010,000 there is going to be KYC.
Money launderers come up with creative ways all the time to launder their funds. For example, they can simply launder small amounts again and again despite losing some funds to due to the house edge factor in order to bypass what you mentioned.

Only one time have I come across a discussion on this forum on someone who wagered $1.4million dollar on a game with an odd of 1.01+, to make an extra $11k + if he wins, but unfortunately, he lost the game as well as the money to the casino, this tells how risky it is to take such risk.
I remember that story since it happened very recently. It wasn't 1.01 odds actually. The actual odds were even lower than 1.01 which makes this loss even more worse.

He was most probably a whale based on my research.
818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling effects on LGBTQ+ People on: July 17, 2023, 07:33:38 AM
Online gambling is a godsend not just for LGBTQ+ people, but for poor people, third world country people etc. It will always be superior to offline gambling in certain ways like this particular way.

We are actually lucky to be alive in a time where it's possible to gamble online without worrying about our financial status, race etc.
819  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 16, 2023, 08:42:34 PM
I still believe that most money laundering activities still do happen via fiat-based transactions.
But we can't totally discard the idea that some of them are already happening in crypto casinos.
Some casinos are only requiring 1-5x wagering requirements before withdrawal, so yes, that would be easy to comply with.
Agreed. Money laundering is definitely happening in crypto gambling sites now and then despite all their restrictions based on what I observed. They are a lot smarter than we think basically.

It's almost impossible to stop them completely though they can be minimised through improvements to security protocols and rules regularly.
820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT on: July 16, 2023, 06:06:05 AM
This can be prevented if from the start we're aware of what to expect and our main desire is to have fun and not to double our money. Because if you let yourself uncontrolled, it's already hard to overcome such situation. So you need to follow what the experts says to stop the addiction.
Let's be honest here. Very few people can control themselves while gambling due to the insane temptation to keep earning more or chasing their losses. It's very, very difficult to resist such temptations practically.

The ones who can resist those temptations either earn a lot or just have fun based on my research.
