My bets were much on casinos, but my initial days of gambling were much into sports betting. I enjoyed much on betting on tennis matches on directbet which is completely anonymous. The decentralised operation is completely enjoyable and it gives the best gambling experience, because soon after the match you'll see the winning amount received in the wallet which you've assigned. Later after its closure my choice moved towards casino games and once again planning to switch into sports betting.

Usage of technology is appreciated, but replacing the technology with human beings is not that good. In my opinion human beings make mistakes and the decision of the player to challenge and get the correct result makes the game interesting. It also shows how high is the player and his concentration. Having technology instead will reduce errors and helps to avoid disappointment in match results, as we were able to see more matches turning in favour of the opponent after a wrong decision from referee.

Life requires both money and time but wasting it will make life more difficult every person has a financial crisis in their life, so it is better to save money instead of wasting it, it will reduce wastage. And we waste without knowing it so the first thing to do after getting the money in hand should be to identify where the unnecessary expenses are. It would not be wise to limit yourself to just depositing money if you want to get something good from the saved money, you should try to invest it there are numerous such opportunities in the market. But you have to invest carefully and carefully this will prevent financial disasters reduce time wastage and make life easier.
We should have the planned investment allocation, savings and for emergency needs. With the rest we need to try to manage our expenses. This will help us go against wasting the money on unnecessary things as well as on time. This looks difficult to be applied on real-time, when time passes automatically we'll get adopted to it realising the goodness of what strategy we've been following. Whenever we've got little money we should try to multiply it through the proper channel with the lowest risk.

Kolkata Knight Riders VS Gujrat Titans
In this 39th match of tata IPL Kolkata faced the former IPL Champion Gujrat Titans where Kolkata opener R.Gurbaz shocked everyone by scoring 81 runs with a strike rate of 207 against the strong bowling lineup like Rashid, shami. Things were totally not going in favor of Kolkata because of Thier bad performance in bowling as well as batting. The current performance indicate that Gujrat will be the champion of this season too because they already defeat every crutial opponent and put his name on the top of the table. At the end congratulations to Gujrat for this joyful victory.
Gujarat played well and they won the match in a much comfortable way. The poor bowling from Kolkata Knight Riders is the reason. 179 runs is a good target, atleast KKR should've tried to end the match at the last over. The team is quite strong and every player used to contribute, even in the match against KKR it is possible to see the score coming from each an every player starting from the opener. Some fortune need to happen for other teams, if not this season of IPL is gonna be lifted by Gujarat Titans.

SRH posted a good total, but it looks like DC might come close and lose. Let's see who wins the battle between the bottom teams.
Delhi Capitals almost had a chance to win most of the matches but they did not win at the end. Due to which Delhi Capitals have to be at the bottom of the points table. But in today's match both Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are fighting and both of the teams are the same category. Both have equal points so far. The points table may change based on the results of today's matches. Just need 63 runs from 33 balls. It is possible but it remains to be seen whether Delhi Capitals can do it or not.

However, Delhi Capitals bowling point is not performing very well. In the case of Sunrise Hyderabad, extra runs were scored as the only bowler could keep the batsmen under pressure as Sunrise Hyderabad won by just a few runs. In this case, even if Delhi Capitals were not under wicket pressure towards the last, they could not show a very good performance. Especially if Warner could have collected some runs then Delhi Capitals could have won this match because Delhi Capitals lost by just nine runs. Delhi Capital is at the bottom of the points table.

Delhi Capitals is predicted to win based on its opening performance, the continuous wickets of Salt and Marsh is the reason for the loss of the match. In every match Warner used to contribute and today he lost his wicket earlier. Delhi Capitals looked to be getting better as they won the last two matches. Once again missed the winning opportunity by a margin. In most matches Nortje used to perform well, today his bowling too isn't good.

This happened two years back and I did a big mistake and for that still I'm running and soon after the incident I shared my loss in a thread (Be A Responsible Gambler) as to come out of it. Really bad decision to borrow and gamble, even now I'm paying interest for what I've done. From then I've changed a lot, I loss but not to that extent. Hope I'll end the debts at the earliest. The loss is huge, $15000 and the game is Dice.

Today the top players will start competing, but from the list of matches for the men's division, I can only see the match between Stan Wawrinka vs Andrey Rublev which will be quite interesting to watch, and will probably be a close match.
In addition, I find the match between Bublik and Rune interesting.  Rune has had two exhausting tournaments. Monte Carlo and Munich. He self said afterwards that it was quite exhausting. I can imagine that there could be a surprise in this match.
The last match today will be between Carballes Baena and Zverev. The favourite is Zverev. But his performance has been very mixed in the last and I am curious to see how he will play this match.

The third set between both of them is being played right now. The first set was won by Rune and the second set was won by Bublik.
Now into the third set, Rune has the advantage over his opponent (2_1).

I personally think that Rune is going to be the winner of this match. But it is very competitive even now. It is uncertain who will win.
But I will say that the overall performance till now has been better from Rune.
The third set reached the tie breaker and Runs was able to win it 711-69. Thats really close from the beginning of the match. In the next match Runs is to play against Fokina. The match seems to be competing as he's in good form playing against Alcaraz in the Barcelona Open quarter finals. Alcaraz won it on direct sets, but this wasn't an easy win as the first set was won 77-65.

Currently, they are trailing by 135 runs which mean we need 35 to 40 overs for covering this difference and then surely another 40 to 50 overs for having 200+ target which can give them good chance to home side, but now all things depend on weather which is not good for the last two days of play.
Sri Lanka has declared their first innings with a lead of 212 runs, then they managed to take all the wickets of Ireland within the first two sessions of the final day. I didn't expect Ireland to lose this match as they played well in the first innings. I had placed a small bet on draw after the day 3, The outcome odds were 1.02× only Sad. Ireland players have to practice a lot to do better in Test format.

Maybe Ireland did not expect to be 212 runs behind after making 492 runs in the first innings. In the 2nd innings, they took the pressure and lost the wickets quickly resulting in losing the match.

See the Srilankan innings for a while and you will see Nishan Madushka making 205 runs, Kusal Mendis making 245 runs along with a couple of hundreds by the other two batsmen. Srilankan team dominated the match and eventually, the team Ireland with less experience fail to save this match.
During the Sri Lanka innings, every player who lost the wicket went to the pavilion with a century. This is big and Sri Lanka well used the match against Ireland. The team that performed well got pressure looking at the score of 704/3d. This happens when they're new to the test format cricket. In the second innings of the match Ireland could've gone for some aggressive batting performance, atleast better scoring could've happened.
869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: April 28, 2023, 11:51:54 PM
Pakistani team is unpredictable at any format of cricket, they will lose match against a weak time but at the same time they has ability to brutally punished any big team like Australia,  India, england etc, so underestimating Pakistan team will worth too expensive.
This unpredictable nature of the Pakistan team may be good for the team itself as it can beat any strong team on a given day but they can also lose to any small team anytime. This is why betting on cricket matches in which Pakistan is playing is very risky and sometimes the unpredictable nature of the Pakistan team becomes a nightmare for the gamblers betting on the match.
For example, based on the Pakistan performance in this match, we can bet on the Pakistan team in the next match to be the favorites but then the risk is too high as the Pakistan team is unpredictable and if they lose, we shall lose our money  Sad . Taking this into account, if we bet on NZ, then what if Pakistan played their naturally good game and did not lose, and we again lose money  Cheesy

Betting on Pakistan's win is very risky. It is impossible to predict when this team will perform well. Pakistan's team squad is very strong. I would say they have a lot of talented players in their squad. But the performance of the players is completely erratic. Especially it is not possible to make predictions about the performance of their batsmen. But the performance of their bowlers is quite good and regular.


Oh common on, aren't we giving this tag of "Unpredictability" to Pakistan more often than needed  Huh

Whenever Pakistan perform well, instead of appreciating them we start saying that they are unpredictable and this win is once in a blue
moon. We forget about the performances but only focus on the Unpredictability nature of the team  Huh

When the Pakistan team loses a match, we say bad words to the team (which is right) but at the same time we blame that it was the unpredictable nature of the team that make them lose the match.

The fact is that the Pakistan team or any other team can't win all the matches and can't lose all the matches too  Or can they Wink
They will win some matches due to good performances and lose some matches due to bad performances.
When it comes to a match, one has to win and the other has to lose the match. The lose used to have different reasons, so is the win.

It is common to have difference of opinion with different users, everyone can't be expected to have the same mind thoughts. Human minds always try to find the wrong than the right things happening around.

Pakistan team having inconsistency in performance is real as the team used to be highly depending on specific players. When such scenario changes, automatically people will have better belief over the team.

If the match is played against a smaller team, then we can't use such statements that Pakistan used to be unpredictable. Now both the teams are equally strong a myself too believe the win will be unpredictable.

I think this was a very easy pitch to bat on. If LSG would have made something around a 230 it could still have been chased by Punjab. It was just that pressure of extra 50 runs which PBKS couldn't sustain. With slightly less targets the batters would have had a better chance to see a couple of balls and then start hitting on this highway pitch. I feel franchisees should avoid such pitches as well. PBKS has best pace bowling attack and they struggled like 15 year olds, I don't even know what would have happened with less known bowling attacks.
The openers failed to score, but the middle order contributed well. Maybe if Dhawan along with the young opener Prabhsimran have scored good the match could've gone closer. At the end Sharukh khan failed to perform, everything is the pressure of high run requirement. Raza used to perform better in these kind of matches and today he played good, but more needed at that moment. The right time he started to takeoff and lost the wicket.

In this match of Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants, Lucknow Super Giants won by 56 runs. I thought that Punjab Kings might be all out for 180 runs. Lucknow Super Giants' target of runs was really difficult to overcome.  Couldn't. The batsmen of Punjab Kings team batted very well. If Punjab Kings could have bowled well from the beginning and kept Lucknow Super Giants team batsmen under pressure, then Lucknow Super Giants could not have scored so many runs.
The Punjab bowlers were into pressure, because everyone getting into the crease were batting well. Somewhere they needs a break and no batsmen gave it. This is the reason why LSG scored 257 runs. Also the team used 7 bowlers, because the change of bowlers used to bring wickets. This time things didn't worked and they kept scoring. The required runrate to win was 13 rpo. Punjab managed to score 10 rpo, the 3 run difference is big and that made them loss the match. Anyhow it's a big match to watch.

Pakistan biggest issue in t20 cricket is lack of best hitter. Pakistani openers Rizwan and babar are not suitable for t20 match. They wanted to score with ball which is considered bad in t20 format. This is the reason Pakistan very rare you will see Pakistan team 200+ score. Their bowling lineup is strong but you cannot win t20 matches without hard hitters and these hitters should be consistent in scoring.
Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are their best players even in the recently concluded PSL, they are not having the best strike rate but they are consistent players. May be they can shift their batting positions or one can be the anchor and the other can start smashing the bowlers from the start. May be a lack of team planning is the reason because they have some quality players but not able to perform during crucial moments.

 
For now the opening is good, if the opening pair gets disturbed even the start of the match will have inconsistency. For now it is believed that the two will give a solid opening. For now it is a must to develop a player, so that opening score can be carried further by the following players. Atleast the following players should be good enough to score runs at the strike rate of 150, but they play as like playing ODI. The bowling line-up is good, but not the best. So, the bowling line-up should be made the best or the batting needs to be improved.

Allthough I think that it would be better for Murray to retire, he has nothing to prove anymore, I don’t think he will do it anytime soon. Allthough he will never reach his prime form again, he just loves the game too much. He can still win some matches but after 3-4 matches, his body can’t handle it anymore.

With all of his injuries that he has ,he is playing solid and is fighting hard. We might see him for 2-3 more years,he always wins a few games but just cannot win that title that would mean a lot to him. Really sad that he just cannot win at least one more and i truly hope he does
He himself should realise and take the right decision and retire. Its time to spend with his family, because he had done to his ability and now it looks like he's spoiling his name that he created through his play. The young generation is very strong and it is really impossible to give competence if the player isn't fit enough. Even in the last match he played his best to win the second match, but the tie breaker went in favour of the opponent Vavassori.

The real addiction have made him change his behaviour which none could've expected. These kind of incidents happen often, but not for the purpose of gambling. In my country more number of suicides have taken place for the reason of losing big on gambling. Recently in an incident bank employee stole around $60k from the bank he works and ran away. Finally caught and on investigation he had done it to overcome the gambling loss that happened in the day.
875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do with bitcoin? on: April 27, 2023, 11:23:54 PM
Having bitcoin is same as having money in our wallet. What we do with our money, we spend on our needs and keep the rest for further needs. Meeting all the necessities we'll have money for our savings. This will be done with bitcoin, we've got multiple usage and that makes it to be used on various needs than just as an alternate to money.

Everyone earns to live and the earning gives you additional growth/loss while holding. Without doubt this serves better than money through its characteristics.

Virat Kohli is making the best contribution for the Royal Challenger Bangalore team in today's match. As an opening batsman, he is often on the way to half-centuries, but the rest of the batsmen have not performed very well. After performing well in the previous matches, Maxwell could not stand his ground in this match and considering other aspects, his team including Virat Kohli is often under wicket pressure. Currently, if this pair can survive, there is definitely a possibility of Kolkata Knight Riders winning. Kolkata Knight Riders must now attack with the spinner ball if they want to win from the bowling side.


The captain and the opener Virat Kohli scored 54 runs in this match but still he was unable to take Royal Challengers Bangalore over the winning line. Alone Virat Kohli could not chase this 200 runs target. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell failed to contribute in this match and they had to face the defeat against  Kolkata Knight Riders.
 
Seeing the points table Kolkata Knight Riders have 6 points while Royal Challengers Bangalore have 8 points and both teams have the chance to make it to the top 4 provided they do not lose many matches from here on.
In the ongoing season of IPL, the first three players Kohli, Maxwell and Du Plesis have contributed for the 79% of the scores. Rest players have made the remaining 21%, Important things the top three have made 12 half centuries and no half century have come from the rest of the players. The team have good batting line-up and bowling order, but they aren't performing well

You can live your whole life on credit, creating more and more debt. But who will pay for all this? The answer is your relatives. But do they deserve such a burden? Maybe it's better to moderate your desires - instead of an expensive vacation go to the woods, instead of a new smartphone just keep using the old one? 
The worst of one's life is dying with debts. When someone dies he/she shouldn't have debts. We need to prepare for such a level of living and move accordingly. This isn't an hard task, because most of the people's debts were through unwanted expenses. Maybe some practice to limit the spending and living according to our earnings could make life better. Some people never think about repaying the debts, for them it looks easy. People who have the mind to repay always have frustration and doesn't have free mind to think big. This itself ruin one's life and never lets them grow.

Good, that we're able to experience bounce back. However this is temporary in my opinion. Market hadn't turned completely bullish. For now we're on the fluctuating phase where we can make good profit through regular trading. OP have mentioned the price of Bitcoin close to $30k and now the price is around $28k. This is huge and traders who watch it close could book profit in the short term. I believe this fluctuation will continue amidst the positive and negative news happening around the market till it crosses the $35k barrier.

Kolkata's chances of victory seem slim. Bengaluru collected 115 runs in 12 overs. Virat Kohli is still at the crease. Kohli is still unbeaten with 54 runs from 36 balls. I don't see any chance for Kolkata to win if Kohli doesn't pick up his wicket. The Bengaluru team now needs 86 runs from 48 balls. It is not a difficult task. The Bengaluru team can easily collect 80 runs in 8 overs if they survive at the crease.
RCB is not good in chasing totals above 170 and even in this chase they already lost Virat Kohli and their 5th wicket. They have a good team but they are not performing like the caliber they have and it is evident by the fact that they never won the tournament and even though Dinesh Karthik is still in the crease it is highly unlikely they will win the match. 
When the match is likely to be won someone does a mistake and that turns to be costly. In the match between RCB and KKR, the opening contributors didn't score good. Virat Kohli as usual did his part. At the middle order Karthik and Prabhudessai were building partnership and fortunately Dinesh Karthik went for two runs and Prabhudessai lost the wicket. Maybe they could've won the match for RCB.

Primary thing that needs to be in mind. Just invest and leave it. Try to be happy with what the friend give as profit share or regular basis or for specific time period. When both of you get into business activities it'll pay path for easy growth, but surely the problem arises and there are big chance of the business getting established on two locations providing the same services.
