Ireland team haven't got big experience and have played only few test matches. This is really great innings from the Ireland team. Sri Lanka is a strong team, for sure the team will do its best. The best coming from Sri Lanka needs to be valuable, if not match could go into the hands of Ireland. Simple test series based on the first test match result have turned to be more interesting. Lets see what happens at the end of the match.

Today the 34th Match of Indian Premier League has already started. Delhi Capitals have now come to bat and collected 97 runs in 14 overs. They have lost 5 wickets so far. Delhi Capitals team has 5 wickets and 6 overs left.  Now let's see how many runs Delhi Capitals can score in these 6 overs..I think Delhi Capitals can't win the match if they don't give a target of 160 runs. If Sunrisers Hyderabad bowl well, Delhi Capitals can't score too many runs.  Delhi Capitals will be able to collect more runs if this poor performance.
Delhi Capitals are at the bottom of IPL 2023 with one win in 6 matches. Their condition is not good in this 34th match. They batted only 144 runs in 20 overs. One should not expect to win with such a low score. Although they will not be able to take any good position in this session. Neither their batting nor bowling is working. On the other hand, in today's match, Sunrisers Hyderabad have collected 43 runs by losing only 1 wicket so far. They still need 101 runs from 74 balls to win. However, it is not yet possible to predict which way the game will turn at the end.

Delhi Capitals won today in a dramatic way. And I will give full credit to the Delhi bowlers for today's win. Like the last match, the Delhi bowlers impressed me with the performance of the bowlers today. Despite giving a target of just 145 runs, Delhi won the match by 7 runs. Bhubaneswar Kumar's brilliant bowling helped Delhi win today. This was the best IPL innings by any bowler. He gave only 11 runs in 4 overs and took two wickets. This is why Delhi cannot collect big. But Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav of the Delhi squad bowled very well today. Their bowling was controlled so Delhi won the match.
While giving credit to the bowlers we should also think of the batsmen. The opening lineup failed to score and it is Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey and Axar Patel that scored good runs for Delhi Capitals. The score is low, but the way Delhi Capitals won the match is really impressive. Every match used to be high scoring and with low score and winning the match is always the best for the team and it's fans.

Pakistan vs New Zealand
 Team's 5th T20 match started today. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl. Now Pakistan came out to bat. Scored 97 runs in 12 overs. Pakistan lost 3 wickets so far. Mohammad Rizwan started a good game with batting. 35  Mohammad Rizwan scored 52 runs. And Iftikhar Ahmed scored 29 runs from 19 balls. In this match it seems that Pakistan will play well today. If Pakistan can play well then there will be a big chance to win this match. New Zealand team has many good players so I think  The game will be very beautiful.
Pakistan's performance in the 5th T20 match against New Zealand has been impressive so far. Led by the exceptional batting of Mohammad Rizwan, who scored a brilliant 98 runs, and Iftikhar Ahmed's quick-fire 29 runs and Imad 31 runs just 14 balls. Pakistan has managed to put up a competitive total of 194 runs with lost 5 wickets. Rizwan innings of 94 runs have been particularly noteworthy showcasing his talent and skill on the field. Although he missed out on a well-deserved century, his innings have been nothing short of amazing adding excitement to the match. With a total of 194 runs Pakistan has set a challenging target for New Zealand to chase. I think Pakistan won this easily because Pakistan has quality fast bowlers.
Pakistan is doing good in todays match after having celebrating eid.
Mohammad Rizwan did well in today's match
Pakistan set a target of 193 runs to New Zealand which is a very good score but New Zealand are losing wickets early.  New Zealand lost 3 wickets in 5 overs and scored only 27 runs.  If they keep scoring like this, New Zealand will lose badly today. Pakistan played well in the previous matches too but due to rain in the 4th match there was no result but as New Zealand scored it would have been difficult for Pakistan to win but I think Pakistan could have won the match that day too.
Maybe the no result match could've been won by Pakistan. Today's match looked to be a win for Pakistan based on the early wickets. With the massive performance from Chapman(77*) and Neesham(31*) New Zealand have moved close to win. 40 runs in 28 balls is easy reachable and finally the T20 series gonna get tied as both the team have won two matches each.

Increasing the age for retirement is like delaying their benefits for the sake of the government interest and I don’t agree with this one. In my country 60 years old is the retirement age and that is the only time you can get benefits from government, this could be an ideal age after working for so many years, i don’t know the culture in France but I don’t think this is a good idea, having an old employee can affect the company on many cases.
If I'm not wrong you're from India. Earlier retirement needs to be followed, maybe something around 55 is good in my understanding. After 60 even the fittest will feel tired and they doesn't have the time to enjoy. If the retirement age is 55 years of age, atleast they'll enjoy life for the next five years and then take rest. In my country it is like they spend 60 years working and spend the retirement fund on their children's education and marriage. With what they receive as pension they run the daily life. In that a major portion goes to medical expense.

impressive win by Alcaraz.
He has been truly superlative also today in final match of Barcelona Open against Tsitsipas.
Yesterday against Evans literally no match, it was like a training...

If this guy continue to plays in such way... probably he will become the best player tennis we have ever seen....

The best part is his age. At the very young age. Third ATP tour title of the year. From the beginning this year is really good for him. He is on the list of players who had won good number of titles as a teenager. It is something that he have been expecting to happen for a long. From the words after the match we were able to understand it. Tsitsipas tried his best, and once again Alcaraz proved he's stronger than him and now it is 4-0 on H2H match apperance.
886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Premier League #IPL on: April 23, 2023, 04:18:49 PM
What a performance from the team CSK. It looks like anyone wearing the CSK jersey will perform. Devon Conway have recorded his consecutive fourth half century. After Mike Hussey it is Conway the replacement. Gaikwad as usual did his part, Ajinkya Rahane along with Dube started well making 50 partnership in 15 balls. Finally it was 235 and Kolkata Knight Riders with their best batting line-up is expected to give their best. In most of the matches batted first, CSK have managed to score 200+ runs.
887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 23, 2023, 03:08:39 PM
Alcaraz - I think Tstitsipas is a match that Alcaraz will easily win. Difference in level is significant between these 2 players. Alcaraz is the absolute world top and the Greek is just below that. On a good day from Tsitsipas he can give Alcaraz a hard time, but I honestly don't know the stats either. Alcaraz is really good on Gravel, maybe he will be as good as Nadal in his prime. Would we get someone who will win as much in Paris as Nadal? That is probably the gravel king for centuries.
It looks like the world top once again wins a title as Alcaraz leads 1-0 after the first set(6-3). A comeback win is a must to keep the winning probability good for Tsitsipas. Alcaraz is really good at the ground and earlier he had revealed how much he had wished to play in the Pista Rafa Nadal Court, "I always wished to play in the Rafa Nadal court, against the best players of the world, I told myself one day I'll play there" - Carlos Alcaraz

UAE have scored 471 runs and takes the chance to be the team to bat first scoring highest runs in ODI cricket next to England scoring 498 runs and 481 runs against Netherlands and Australia. Waseem gave good start scoring 160 runs along with Aravind. At the end it was Afzal Khan to score 74 runs. Singapore wasn't able to reach the target, but they're good with their performance scoring 270 runs. The contribution came from every player. Both the team is filled with sub continent players, so there's nothing to defend based on native players participation.
889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting vs fantasy sports on: April 22, 2023, 10:58:50 PM
There’s a big difference with this one since fantasy sports is more about playing the game in order to win while
Sports betting are just waiting for the result of the match, so with this I consider them as different to each other. Traditional bettor might not adopt fantasy sports because of time consuming and the skills that you might need in order for you to win, personally I prefer sports betting more which is easy to gamble with.
Fantasy sports is not for everyone, as some gamblers prefer to gamble in an easy platform where they don’t need to extract a lot of effort just to gamble, this is why slots machines are very popular. There’s a big difference with this two, and given that scenario I think I prefer more the sports betting because I love sports as well and I bet on a sports that I know. Haven’t try the fantasy sports though, but I’m aware how it works.
Fantasy sports were followed by users who are unable to watch tge match. They just predict the match based on the players. Here who wins the match isn't an issue. Based on the players selected for our team we'll get the opportunity to win, if the players chosen by us performs well. At times this used to be interesting, when our predicted players perform well. However sports betting is the best, because it gives us the space to enjoy the match along with the varying odds throughout the match.

On the Barcelona Open it is Musetti vs Tsitsipas and Alcaraz vs Evans in the semifinals after the walkover of Sinner from the match against Musetti. It looks like the finals to be played between Alcaraz vs Tsitsipas.
Now Musetti is facing Tsitsipas and has entered the third set, but at this time Tsitsipas is 3-0 up, he is more experienced on clay which is why several times he has been able to turn things around which are actually more profitable for Musetti. The first set Musetti had a chance to get him but it's a shame he couldn't finish well but he was lucky enough in the second but the third set looked to be Tsitsipas's and into the final.

Waiting for what will happen in the second semifinal later, but pretty sure Alcaraz will be a easier to overcome Evans and most likely the final will face Tsitsipas vs Alcaraz, this is the ideal final even though I hope Musetti will go to the final because his performance has been quite impressive since Monte Carlo, but it looks like that's not going to happen.
In the semifinals match between Tsitsipas and Musetti the fight cobtinued till the last set. Musetti played well and won the second set, however the third set looked to be an easy win for Tsitsipas and he made his entry to the finals. After his Australian Open finals against Djokovic now he had entered the finals against Alcaraz

On the other match Alcaraz won it on direct set against Evans without much difficulty 6-2 6-2. Now the finals have turned more interesting ad both the players are at good form. Alcaraz will try to lift the trophy with the winning form of Indian Wells.final against Medvedev.
891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: April 22, 2023, 10:47:41 PM
$100 to br earned from the $2000 is possible. It needs controlled wagering and the understanding to take break when the wagering is on loss. The difficulty increases when the focus is to win $100 regularly, because we don't know what is our luck for the day. Sometimes we easily fall for emotions on losing. This makes us go behind the loss and try to recover it. Such things doesn't turn effective with gambling all the time, so there is chance of losing. So, winning is possible and regular winning is high risky and some people are doing it.
892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 22, 2023, 10:43:09 PM
So no one can blame the pitch completely. KL and his team were in complete control but lost their marble in the last 5 overs, in modern cricket if you are scoring only 23 runs in death overs despite having wickets in hand then you deserve to lose a match.
BCCI should do some investigations on this match. The scoreboard was 105-1 after 14 overs. 31 runs were needed from the last 6 overs, where LSG had 9 wickets in hand. How a team can loss such match by 7 runs! It wasn't a competitive match at all. Bettors and spectators may raise questions about the transparency of this match.
That's real controversy, because when Gujarat won the title last season similar things were into discussion. Last season was their debut season and sime matches were completely into controversy and finally they lifted the trophy. This match needs to be taken to investigation, because people shouldn't be fooled for money or fame due to the political influence. Myself too watched the game and completely unacceptable, because in this season every team is better than the other. In such situation unable to chase 135 runs is questionable.

Mumbai indian vs Punjab Kings
Exciting match to watch between Mumbai indian and Punjab because both scored dozen of runs with a magnificent knocks. Despite of bad start from Punjab opener but later Thier middle order bang the opponent with bundle of sixes and some how they manage to scored a big target of 214 with a half century of S.Curran. Rohit captain of Mumbai scored decent runs but not too long, while C.green ,SKY and tim David try hard to get the rithm and chase the required target but some unbelievable delivery from A.Singh crashed Thier batting lineup and get the game from the mouth of Mumbai win.
I still believe PBKS aren't really bringing their best combination to the field. They won this match because their batters in death were able to score well, which has already been a pain for PBKS. Happy to see Jitesh Sharma being a constant contributor for the team now. He was in team for so long now with zero impactful knocks.
Agreed, from the start Mumbai Indians played in a much confident way without getting any difficulty. The runrate ks maintained according to the requirement. The death over runs that Punjab Kings scored helped them win the match. Great performance from Sam Curran and Punjab Kings need to improve its bowling line-up. Mumbai Indians batting line-up is always the best and today while chasing they proved their ability, but the pressure of chasing a target of 200+ runs had made them loss the match by a small margin.

It looks like OP is from a country where they're self reliant for their food needs. Apart it looks like he never look upon the price of the food while purchasing from the store. The increasing price itself shows the crisis. Already big number of people weren't able to have three meals a day. Now the increasing price once again downsize the food consumed by the people living down the poverty line.

Worse scenario is happening around. In recent days it is Sudan and Oman have internal wars happening around. The war have been stopped for 72 hours to celebrate Ramadan. Similar incidents destroy the people and affect their living in some means. Down is another incident that shows how high is the need of good

At least 85 people die after 'crowd-control' gun shots fired into the air spark stampede at Ramadan food distribution event in Yemen

Losing is part of gambling and there is no way we can separate losing from gambling since losing is one of the key factors in gambling because that is the means we're by which the casino generates its income and build revenue. When you lose the casino gain the same way when you win the casino loses revenue so both are part and parcel of gambling.

But it is important to minimize the rate at which we lose even though we are not in control of the result of the games as a player, but we can reduce the level of our stake.
As suggested only thing that can be done is through reducing the stake, because we can't be sure of the outcome. With the mentioned odd losing the bet is really unbelievable, but things happen for our bad luck. Maybe this bet loss could be a big learning for more other users who have the mentality to go for high stakes on low odds.

Different government offices can be paid with bitcoin. This is available at specific states and the same doesn't gonna benefit them much. During the tax filing depending on the amount being spend the user could file the tax.

Governments need each and every transaction happen through their channel and for that purpose CBDC is introduced and several other things have been done. The change doesn't happen all of the sudden. In the long run we can expect government to get something from the people as tax which requires a big process to be shortened.

If any player in the team scores a century the runs of that match will be much higher and that is happened to the Nepal team. Moreover, cricket fans are optimistic about the Nepal team that they will be able to get a good place in the future. Against Oman, Nepal batted at the beginning and gave a target of 310 runs, where the Oman team lost all wickets by scoring only 226 runs. Nepal team won by 84 runs. The team has played two matches in the ACC Mens Premier Cup 2023 and is at the top of the points table after winning two matches. Nepal team has several players who perform very well. Most of us certainly say that Nepal is the best among all the teams in Group A.
The best thing about the century from Kushal Malla is the century coming from him at the right time. The opening failed to score and the middle order hadn't contributed big, and the team is in need of good runs. By the time making a takeoff and scoring 108(64 balls) is really impressive and turned the match. In support Sompal Kami contributed from the tail end. A big win and once again proved they are the best among the teams of ACC Men's Premier Cup 2023.

For CSK everything helped, while SRH failed in batting. With a target of 134 runs it is really hard for the bowlers, because they will be in a situation whether to go for wickets or focus on restricting the scoring.
If any team restrict the scoring of runs then it will quite naturally built pressure and thereby wickets will start to fall and every captain in T20 will be thinking of a dream scenario of restricting the scoring of runs and you need exceptional bowling to defend small targets and with a strong batting lineup like CSK it is an impossible task to create an improbable solution  Grin.
Looked like such an easy game for CSK this time. I think SRh has to gather a lot of things together in this IPL moving forward.
Yeah, the match is completely with CSK. The team made the right decision to bowl after winning the toss. The start isn't bad, because the team managed to score 70+ runs in 10 overs losing just 2 wickets. Once after that players weren't able to stand wicket as well as unable to score. Only in the match against KKR it performed well. Even in that it was Brook and Markram that performed. A combined performance is a must and SRH needs improvement as the fight for the top position is already red-hot.

few find it bad and stay out of bitcoin for the same feature.

  • The growth which we can't experience anywhere else
  • The volatility which is an attraction that could help us earn
  • Having control over our funds which isn't possible with banks
  • Multipurpose utility than the traditional banking system
  • Limited supply that assure with growth against fiat devaluation

There are incidents in which father had earned good sum of money and left it to his children. The children from the beginning lived on the father's earning ane after his death the children have good money and they don't know what to do. In such case the children will end up without money or someone who will cheat them. These kind of incidents have happened alot.

In the similar situation just think that the parents have given education to his kids than allowing them to spend his money of their own without learning what is happening around. The kids will grow up and multiply what the father have left for them. So education needs to be prioritised. Between countries the employment opportunities might vary, which means we should work even harder and find the opportunity.
