821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever wiped off a casino through Blackjack? on: August 28, 2020, 07:23:19 PM
It is very rare for gamblers to be wiped off a casino through Blackjack, because as we all know casinos always have a way of
making gamblers lose. Moreover, we are not professional gamblers, the possibility of wiped off a casino is below 1%. Likewise
with other games. Therefore we should play gambling just for fun, and always use money that we can afford to lose.

That's too much to an expression to say literally "Wipe off a casino", just like in trading, they have a huge liquidity pool. In gambling, casinos have huge funds and it should suffice whenever multiple gamblers wins the same amount of jackpot as they could not operate and willlead to bankruptcy if they did not do it.

Though, there's also another meaning when we say "Wiping off a casino" it could also mean about asking what is the effective strategy to win in blackjack. With that, I think the house's strategy which is being contented in when they got 17 is the most effective. If casinos always win, why not do the same thing by copying their strategy? Perhaps the chance now will be reduced to 50/50.

Someday even if you are able to win a very big amount, the casino may refuse to pay and ask for kyc and other requirements. They may apply delay tactics and come up with any illogical reasons and deny their payments. I have not heard of any casino getting bankrupt or wiped off.

Reputed casino and trusted casino will always pay you no matter how big is the winning amount. The new casino does not have big bankroll to pay and they never pay big amounts. Also gambling casino earn a lot of money that they can pay big amounts to the winners without much difficulty.

I am also going with England and surely, they would be having that inside that last test match was their but due to full match did not happen it resulted in draw. They would come back strongly in this series and hopefully there is not much rain or does not affect T20 gets reduced to less overs. Expecting the matches to be decided in the last over.
England is looking strong but Pakistan have also chances in case they're always unpredictable team. As for weather report not looking good at the moment but lets hope for good cricket. We want to watch strong battle at the end of the ball, not to see weather win series!

England is in complete control of the match and are playing at a very good run rate of 8.78 which can be increased later in the innings as they have wickets in hands. If they continue batting like this, they can easily cross 200 runs.
Now in Last 10 balls Pakistan takes back all control 2 wickets and 9 runs good fight back after very good knock from T Banton 71 runs on just 42 balls This is going to be a very interesting match if Pakistan's batting not chokes because they have hobby of this in good matches.

120/5 in 14.4 overs

Look like England batsmen are in a hurry. I don't know what going on their mind. They have spoiled the brilliant start and let Pakistan team to be on the top. It is interesting to know what could be the safe score on this pitch.

Bad News: Its raining and play can be stopped anytime.


England batsmen were playing according to the match situation. They could see the rain coming and decided to make as many runs as possible before the rain comes in. They may not be able to bat again, hence loss of wickets doesn't matter and DLS method may decide the pakistan chase target.

I think everyone including me completely forgot that we have Pak vs Eng 1st T-20 match today (3 match series). My money on Pakistan as their squad looking good and odds seems okay as well.

Quote
Possible XI Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Rizwan, Imad Wasim, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Shah Afridi

Possible XI England : Tom Banton, Jonny Bairstow(w), Dawid Malan, Eoin Morgan(c), Sam Billings, Moeen Ali, Tom Curran, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Joe Denly, Lewis Gregory

Quote
Squads:
England Squad: Tom Banton, Jonny Bairstow(w), Dawid Malan, Eoin Morgan(c), Sam Billings, Moeen Ali, Tom Curran, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Joe Denly, Lewis Gregory

Pakistan Squad: Babar Azam(c), Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, Sarfaraz Ahmed(w), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Rizwan, Khushdil Shah, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Haris Rauf

I am putting my money on England and also England is favorite for this T20. Pakistan team looks strong on the paper but practically they don,t perform as they should have. Betting on Pakistan will be risky but you can take risk because of better odds.

A new twist in game England takes 4th wicket through Root now Anderson going with new ball can they take remaining 6 wickets in 18 overs very interesting end of this rain hit match.
Edit: now we have 17 overs left and Babar and Fawad on crease Anderson and Broad on ball

The match ended as another boring draw, which is a great injustice to the sport. It is a loss to everyone. The fans waited patiently despite the numerous rain interruptions and ground inspections, the English players were left frustrated as this was the last test for the year 2020 and finally the TV broadcasters couldn't believe their bad luck. Can the ICC just ignore this issue? So many matches are getting wasted as a result of rain. Don't they want to take any actions?

Take action against whom ? Rain is in no one control and the weather in England is unpredictable and you cannot scheduled matches according to the weather forecasts. Yes, it was disappointing because we wanted to watch the teams in action after the long pause because of covid-19.
826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 25, 2020, 02:09:20 PM
Just latest news from Southampton we are not going to have any player until tea after this no one can predict about westher as right now light rain is still on and outfield is wet so this can take some good time most chances we will have 35 to 40 overs if weather allows otherwise its going to end without any ball playing.

If today's play is washed out, then the most frustrated individual on this planet is going to be James Anderson. He just needs 1 more wicket to become the first fast bowler to take 600 wickets. And if he can't take a wicket today, then the next opportunity for him will come on 2021. England won't be playing anymore test matches this year. 
well, the problem is the current condition there is a natural disaster that causes many sports and various matches to be postponed but I am sure that the match will still go on and nothing is canceled, hopefully James Anderson can score the best record this season.

Whats is the current situation in Southampton ? Has the rain stopped ? Even if it stops it will take some time to clear the wet outfield. England needs at least 50 overs to bowl out Pakistan. Pakistani batsmen played well yesterday and did not lose many wickets.

Doing that for a long time, he might manage to learn English, you never know !

Except a software/website is doing the spinning, I can't believe it's done manually.

There are many software's available on the internet which do the automatic sniping of texts but in most cases those texts can't be used to post because their grammer is sometimes not correct. It takes additional effort to correct the grammar and re-post it. Just a waste of time in my point of view.

It might screw up people who are already in campaigns and aren't accepted for the new one.
This makes sense to me, though. If you aim to switch campaigns, then clearly you're confident in your writing skills, to a degree where you're willing to take an interim period to establish yourself in a (probably) better campaign. Interestingly enough, from a service provider standpoint, it's actually worse for them to add these requirements as it does remove some incentive to apply to the campaign, especially if you write quality posts. Though, I don't think that the best posters here switch campaigns that often.

You are never sure if the new high paying campaign last for a week or month or more. Moving to other campaign is a risk itself even if you are selected.

Secondly, people does not mind if they wear signatures before being accepted, they only care if they can get into the campaign somehow and wear the signature in advance only for the hope to get selected.

Scorecard is not looking too bad for English team after first session. Run rate is healthy as well which means bowlers are not getting much help from the pitch, more problems for Pakistan as they have seam bowlers who don't rely or focus on reverse swing much, at least that's what we have seen in this series so far.

ENG : 91/2 , 28 overs

--------
Edit 1

Oops 127/4 now
For me first two sessions completely belong to England as they are doing very good batting right now 350+ is very good for them and they can bring Pakistan under pressure in batting so if weather could be ok then they will be able to win this match easily

Tea 184/4   56 overs

Crawley impressive century has helped England to post a good total in first innings and have reached 206/4 and 26 overs remaining for the day. They would like to reach atleast 300 runs and not try to lose much wickets in the remaining overs. England should be targeting getting 400+ runs from this point.

England can easily reach 400+ in this innings because they are 232-4 and Zak Crawley is playing very comfortably at 125. The only thing which will be on the minds of the England players will be the weather. They would desperately want weather not to disturb this test match.
830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 16, 2020, 10:59:21 AM
Pakistan may have good bowlers but remember England middle order is extremely strong and Pakistan bowlers were not able to get through them in the last test match. If the match starts, they still will have difficultly breaking through the England batting lineup.
England have good players but this is the second match in the series and the rain interruption is killing the fun, Pakistan scored 236 runs and they picked the first English wicket without a run scored and if they can pick up wickets like this in cold conditions then it will be interesting even though we might not see a result in this match.

Good to see the match is in progress and i hope the weathers stays like this all day. England have lost their first wicket and they were close to losing their 2nd wicket too but the review from Pakistan got rejected.  Also umpires need to review the light from time to time as it is looking little dark from the Tv screen.
831  Other / Meta / Re: Free Advertising, YES or NO on: August 16, 2020, 06:22:47 AM
I have had this on my mind lately and decided to create this thread to see how everyone feels about it. It is about advertising in signature campaigns. To be more precise about the free advertising that some companies/projects receive.

Let me give you some more information about what I mean.

As you know, signature campaigns have their own rules that you need to obey to apply for their campaigns. One of these rules is often:
Wear the avatar and signature when you apply! The campaign managers don't force the users to wear the sigs before they get accepted, but the rule is still there, and many users do.

People start to apply, put on their sigs and avatars, and there are dozens of applications. Let us say that it takes a campaign manager an average of 2 days to select campaign participants. The campaign receives a total of 50 applications, and 50 users are wearing their sigs/avatars even before they have been accepted. (it is just an example). Out of these 50 users, 10 will be selected as participants of the campaign. That means that 40 users have been advertising a campaign for free for 2 days.

How do you feel about that? Do you think it is OK that you just advertised a service for free and weren't selected in the campaign in the end?
Do you think it shouldn't be a requirement (mostly it isn't anyway) to wear an avatar/sig until you are accepted? 


This should not be compulsory and the manger should not give the benefit to those who have wear the signatures before.
The reason is not free advertising but let suppose a person is already in another campaign, but now he sees a better campaign and he changes signature and apply for it. If the new campaign does not accept him, he will lose his previous campaign too because he already changed his signature.

no one is forcing him to apply to another campaign though. its his free will.

but why don't he just apply and wear the signature and avatar later when he is confirmed accepted. it would not risk his position in his current campaign and then also get the chance to be accepted to the new one. as far as i know that is what other users are doing.



I understand this but i was only saying in case he wants to apply in a campaign where the manager is enforcing this rule or only accepting participants who are already wearing the signatures.

Also you need to mention more details about the site, like the games that you offer, your transaction fees and if you guys required KYC or not.

You can find most of the details on their Faq page  (https://bitdubl.com/?modal=faq), however as i searched there is no information about the KYC, so the site does not implement any sort of KYC. There is only one game on the site which is the bitblocks game. For the withdrawal fee there are different option available and you can chose which suit you best.

English team needs points to get on top but rain messing up with him. BTW They don't need our best wishes, they are already riding lucky horse if we think about last 2 year cricket.

It was a frustrating day for the England team as they desperately want the match to resume so that they can win it. Another issue for them is that tomorrow weather forecast is not good either, infect it is more worse then today and i don't think any game is possible tomorrow. Both teams should now focus on the final test and hope it brings a result.

From the OP post, it seems that the site is willing to pay the winning amount in installments around 500$ per month. So what actually is the issue ? Are they not paying the installment or the OP is not willing to accept the payments in installment ?

Worrying: A casino not being able to pay out ~0.5ish. Also worrying that they do not keep their word by paying the installments and ignoring the customer.

If a casino do not have funds to pay 0.5 bitcoins, they shouldn't be running this business. They recently changed their name and i thought we have another crypto casino which are active and can be trusted but after this incident i am afraid, i will stay away from it. Even if they pay in installment, this is not good because it shows they do not have funds to pay to the winners.

~snip~
Surely this rain is going to be in favour of Paksitan right now if we have one more day lost due to rain then surely this match is going to be draw or if we able to have some cricket in all three days then surely we will able to have result but weather is not good for next few days which is not good.
Both teams known for their batting collapse and looking at current scenario Pakistan already reached at respectable total. Pitch is still alive so who knows if its low total game, we might see result despite bad weather.

Two days gone and not even one innings completed till now. I would be really surprised, if this match doesn't end up as another boring draw. Weather predictions are also not looking that great. Heavy rains are predicted for the next three days and we can expect the same situation we had during the first two days. I don't expect more than 100-150 overs of play to happen in the remaining three days.

This is not the good news and neither all the cricket fans would be happy about it as they could not watch the live match between both the teams. The match is moving towards draw unless if we can see next 3 days of cricket without much rain’s interruption. England team would be disappointed because when they perform well things become more difficult for them in a way.


It will be interesting to know how the pitch behaves after this two days of rain. Even if the play resumes, we could not have consecutive 3 days of cricket because rain may interrupt again. Also the outfield will be wet and this will make bowlers job more difficult with wet ball.

Rain interruption is having a more disruptive role in international cricket nowadays, compared to the situation we had a few decades back. Climate change may be one of the reasons. ICC needs to look in to this issue and find a solution which is acceptable to all. One of the solutions would be to stage more matches in countries such as UAE and Australia, where the chances of rain interruption are low.

Rain delay and bad light give advantage to one team and this time it is Pakistan who are getting benefits from this delay. The match may resume in some time but if Pakistan were able to draw this match, then the credit will goes to the weather. England team deserve to win the 2nd test if the weather permits.

English Empire's mistake and ICC anti corruption unit in action https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29661711/umpire-richard-kettleborough-spoken-anti-corruption-officials-smartwatch

So wearing smart watches is not allowed in the field ? This is a new rule to my understanding. So what will be the outcome of this investigation ? Will the umpire be punished in this case or the player  and what would be the punishment ?
Until now no punishment just reminder for future as its not allowed in 2018 few Pakistani players also done same mistake may be in future they will introduce any new rule or puniishment about this.

Not sure but what harm the smart watch can do if the players wear it. The players can get message and instructions from the dressing room through smart watch but even without this smart gadget they still get the instructions and messages, don't they ?
The other thing is that fielders can get busy though smart watches and may lose focus on the match temporarily.
