The match between Rune and Fokina in progress. Fokina leads winning first set of the match 77-61. The match is in favour of Rune, but the first set have gone into the hands of Fokina. Rune needs to make a comeback and it looks like the match will move to the third set. More interesting waiting for the day, Lajovic vs Struff, Fritz vs Garin. Already Alcaraz and Zverv reached round of 16, gonna play tomorrow.
902  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Someone at FIFA/UEFA should do something about the referees on: April 30, 2023, 09:23:04 PM
I was not pleased with the introduction of VAR because I felt it will mechanize the game of football and make it look like a computerized game. Seeing players celebrating and all of a sudden it is cut short by a call for VAR check. The players have to wait anxiously for the result to continue the celebration. In my own opinion, it makes the game looks boring. But people argued that it will reduce errors and make the game flawless. But from the look of things, it is clear that it still causing more controversies. It will be better if we go back to the old human refereeing system instead of wasting money on machines that is still subject to human errors.

Perhaps in the future FIFA/UEFA could apply an artificial intelligence to perform as a referee instead a human being. It is something which could get rid of the human mistakes and the influence of bribery, but I doubt it could become a thing in the mid term, since I am sure the referees would not feel very happy about it.

Also, the artificial intelligence could take those decisions faster, using several angles of the cameras to determine which team is committing a fault without preferences.  Wink
These AI machines are also programmed by humans and can be subject to hacks or system errors. It will be good for FIFA or UEFA to combine the use of human and artificial intelligence to match officiating or scrap VAR entirely just as suggested earlier.

Humans have programmed the AI machines based on the requirement. It is common to see errors happening through technology as well as through human. To the changing surroundings we're also making changes or getting adopted to it. Initially VAR looked different and now majority accept and find it good. Old way of referring is good, and people accepted it as they had no technology advancement. Now everything is available and sure people expect things to be precise and perfect through technology. In ATP (tennis) it is planned for removal of human referees and go full on technology. Such decisions too is wrong in my view.

Nepal vs Kuwait
 In this match between two teams today Kuwait has decided to declare after winning the toss. Now Nepal is batting. Nepal has scored 118 runs in 19 overs. So far 3 wickets have been lost. Nepal team batsman Kushal Bhurtel is out for 43 runs off 39 balls. Aasif Sheikh  31 off 28 balls.Bhim Sharki 1 off 4 balls.
ODI match between Nepal and Kuwait postponed due to rain. But I think Nepal would have secured the victory in the match, because Nepal is ahead of Kuwait in performance and probably the practice of cricket in Nepal started earlier. Hopefully the rain will stop and the game will resume.
Nepal is performing well in their match against Kuwait. Despite the delay caused by the rain. Nepal has managed to set a target of 282 for Kuwait in a limited 42 overs match. With a solid partnership between Rohit Paudel 94 runs and Kushal Malla 57 runs. NE has shown impressive batting skills and determination. but Kuwait is facing an uphill battle as they have already lost 3 of their top order wickets in 15 runs within the first 3.5 overs of the innings. Chasing such a huge target will be a daunting task, and it will require a herculean effort from the Kuwaiti batsmen to turn things around. KUW need 263 runs for winning this match in the remaining 37.1 Overs and qualify for the Final of the ACC Premier League.
Once again match got stopped due to rain. Nepal managed to score 281/9 in 42 overs. Following them Kuwait wasn't able to perform well. Kuwait was able to score 37/6 in 8.3 overs. Once again rain interrupted and the match have been stated as no result. For Nepal Rohit Kumar and Kushal Malla scored 94 runs and 57 runs. In bowling Karan took 5 wickets and kept Nepal at good position while the rain interrupted.

In the match between UAE and Oman, it is UAE to win by 2 runs based on DLS method. Almost every players contributed to the score. Now the final to be played tomorrow between Nepal and UAE as expected.

Nepal team batsman Kushal Bhurtel is out for 43 runs off 39 balls. Aasif Sheikh  31 off 28 balls.Bhim Sharki 1 off 4 balls.
Nepal team performing well against Kuwait. Rohit Paudel and Kushal Malla formed a good partnership. So far these two players have managed to form 61 partnerships. Nepal's score is now 141 with the loss of 3 wickets. If the Nepalese team can keep their wickets and stretch the batting then Nepal will almost be assured of victory in this match. Unfortunately, the match has already been delayed due to rain. I will favor Nepal team in this match as they have been performing very well in recent times and they provably win in today's match if it is resumed with the proper time.
Already an hour passed and the play haven't resumed. Wet outfield remains and we can expect the match to continue with overs reduced. Being an important match there are chances of rescheduling. As of now Nepal is good on the scoreboard and the pitch used to change once after rain.

On the other match UAE have scored 236 runs in 50 overs after Oman decided to bowl winning the toss. In recent ODI matches played, Oman is in good form and have failed only against Nepal. Lets see whether Oman can chase the target of 236 runs or not.

The match between Nepal and Kuwait in the first semi-final of the ACC Men's Premier Cup should start within the next 1.5 hours. Very crucial match for Nepal. They have never qualified for the Asia Cup, and this is a golden opportunity for them to do so. Kuwait is a relatively weak team and it won't be too difficult for Nepal to get over them. On top of that, the Nepal players, especially Sandeep Lamichhane, Rohit Paudel and Kushal Malla are in great form. The final is going to be tough, as they will be facing the winners from Hong Kong vs United Arab Emirates in the second semi-finals.
There is not much of matches played between the two teams. It was 2019 Nepal have played against Kuwait in a T20 match and Nepal won it. I'm not sure, but it looks like the first ODI match played between the two. Both the teams have good line-up of players and this is going to be interesting. Nepal have its home ground advantage, lets see how teams are making use of the golden opportunity. In the match between Hong Kong and UAE, it looks like UAE is the favourite.
906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you feel bad while paying with BTC? on: April 29, 2023, 02:02:58 AM
The innovation came from Satoshi to fullfill what is missing with the fiat system. This means the core was to use it as a medium of transaction. For some reason the growth of bitcoin made people prioritise it more as an investment than a medium of payment. It is true, if Laszlo Hanyecz hadn't made that decision even now the price of bitcoin might've not reached this level. Unlike the market price and growth it is necessary to spend bitcoin as well as use it for payment.

After certain level of growth the value might get stagnant. By that time people will give importance to it as a medium of transaction. Until then the usage as investment can be seen much among the common people.

Patience to learn is good, when you start learning try to implement what you've learnt. This will give the best understanding than just receiving information from different sources. These days buying bitcoin is not a difficult task. Even the technology lacking person can buy/sell with ease. Just buying a little and continuing to learn lets you go through the variation happening in the market.

Rather than asking questions directly, it is good to get some basic learning and then raise questions. This will help with better conversation and get better clarity.

As most users suggested going for a buy at any point is good. Find the right chance to buy at the bottom to avoid the time of holding.

We'll get to see more and more wrong information and fearful information getting circulated around. We shouldn't be reacting to it, the market is getting widened with time. Influencers and Whales on the market try to make impact on the market and we shouldn't be the prey.

Al-Nassr vs Al-Raed, currently Al-Nassr is leading with a one score by Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems like this match will be won by Al-Nassr, because they are also more in control of this game with 63% Ball Possession in the first half and a few more shots attempt rather than Al-Raed. But in the second half Al-Nassr must be able scored again to secure three points, because I think 1-0 is not a safe score for them.
The match is over already. Sure, Al Nassr won (Al Nassr 4 - 0 Al Raed). Ronaldo only scored 1 goal, but it showed that he can contribute well in this match. However, this winning won't change anything, Al Nassr is still in 2nd place because Al Ittihad leads with 3 point difference. Al Ittihad also has 1 unplayed match, if they won it they will lead with 6 point difference again. Today Al Nassr got a good result, sadly it can't make them improve their position.



Ronaldo opened the match with a goal and once he opened it was for sure they were gonna win. They played an amazing game plus Ronaldo played really good and showed that with his age he is still a top class player. But still i dont think they can reach first place its not in their hands anymore.
Al-Nassr have recorded the win 4-0 against Al-Raed and once again the points have come closer with the first position holding Al-Ittihad. With this win the upcoming match of Al-Nassr vs Al-khaleej have got importance. On the other side Al-Ittihad vs Al-Taawoun have got importance. Both the matches were in favour of Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, but unexpected results could make the table turn interesting. I expect Al-Taawoun to be giving tough competence against Al-Ittihad.
909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: April 28, 2023, 11:27:18 PM
Gambling addicts do the darndest things. This man in the story must have successfully kept his addiction a secret from his wife and family. Or even if he didn't, they must have downplayed the severity of the addiction. As it has been said over and again, addiction exists and thrives in secrecy. That's its superpower but once exposed or talked about its potency is reduced. It is not enough to say gamble responsibly but to reach and guide them how to gamble responsibly.
This is true, it looks like he had kept his gambling activities as secrecy from his wife and family. Many used to gamble together, when the gambling activity is on the losing streak the family members used to take decision to stop gambling. By the time husbands used to suffer as they can't control their habit. This is where they try to keep it as a secret and when they weren't able to manage the loss ends up with such bad behaviour. As said rather than saying gamble responsibly it is good to teach them how to gamble responsibly.
910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: April 28, 2023, 11:21:51 PM
This happens, but very few have such an attitude to reach the court and claim the loss tas fund transferred without their authorisation. Even I've done, but not this way. When I experienced my first big loss I wasn't able to accept it and I contacted the support team. With them I was pleading that I lost mistakenly, please help me. Can you refund atleast half of what I've lost and so on. Finally got the response you need to play responsibly, and if you've win big and if the gambling platform doesn't settle the winning what'll you say. Same had taken place, so don't be down. I can't help you, Gamble in a responsible way which is the response I received.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losses In Gambling That Still Haunts You Until This Day on: April 28, 2023, 11:15:28 PM
I don't remember the day exactly, but it was a fine Friday and I lost big. It was the biggest loss in my life and the next day once again I managed to arrange money, so that I can recover my losses. Further I did the same and lost everything during the midnight of Saturday. My house was located close to church and the next morning is Sunday. Every Sunday used to go to church, and that Sunday I was sitting and crying when the Sunday mass is going on. I wasn't able to control myself and my room was locked. Different thoughts were running around me, but somehow I managed to come out those days.

~
I see this as a very competitive IPL, in a way that any team is beating any team this time. But more importantly this is also indicating that all the teams are inconsistent, none of them has showed so far even in 80% of their matches that they are a fit combination to beat anyone. Today CSK was terrible with the bat. On a good batting pitch, Conway and Rahane struggled and eventually total looked absolutely impossible to achieve.
Every team have got some dependency, today Conway failed to perform and CSK wasn't able to win the match. As said the players struggled and in this season both the matches against Rajasthan Royals were loss for CSK. Looking at the points table we'll understand how close the matches were, because the small difference is making the teams position. If I'm not wrong this time the playoff qualifiers will be based on net runrate as every team is to have same point.
913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investment in bitcoin on: April 27, 2023, 11:51:22 PM
Every investment is subject to market risk and not everyone is prepared to face it. This is why people always degrade bitcoin with the improper understanding. When it comes to investment or some form of pension schemes people keep investing on the regular basis and wait for the settlement for years. The same can be followed, so that holding gives the best return, but people aren't ready for it even after seeing the good number of people who have been enjoying good with the investment on bitcoin and holding for long term. In between if market supports they tend to sell and buy it back at lower price.
914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why gambling and mixing called bad actors in bitcoin on: April 27, 2023, 11:46:17 PM
Just because the transaction can't be traced people term it to be bad. Mixing service were used for illegal transaction and for tax evasion and other benefits. This could give a negative impression over bitcoin and not everyone have such thoughts. These are people who already have negative thinking over bitcoin as a bad thing.

When it comes to gambling, there is a misunderstanding bitcoin is developed for gambling and for illegal needs. In the early days the gambling platforms have helped much in the growth of bitcoin. Now scenario is different and people use for different needs. Even now relating it with gambling is not fair. People should understand how big is the market and what part gambling holds.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: April 27, 2023, 12:10:43 AM
Both have got to be gambling in some form, and investing stands seems to be better than gambling for the positive outcome. Investing turns to be completely a gamble when the investment is made on a random basis without analysing about the respective token/coin. In that case there are success as well as massive loss. Not everyone does it, another thing trading is not pure gamble. When we gamble with the fund the result used to be win/loss. If it's loss we'll loss entire fund whereas with trading/investment the market drop will be the loss which can be overcome if we have the patience.
916  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto (btc) is not for the weak on: April 26, 2023, 11:57:10 PM
Crypto is for everyone, whether a person is weak or stronger doesn't matter. Even the weaker person can be successful, when they have the patience to win the market. Most of the time the small volume holders and the beginners into the market have the weak mind, because they haven't experienced much about the market as well as have big dreams about turning rich through the investment. The reality is different and the same all of the sudden gives disappointment. Some used to experience surprise and they turn positive further whereas the failed one turns negative, such scenario shouldn't happen. Better learning and they need to stay atleast for few months time then weaker minds too understands well about the market.
917  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing Addiction. on: April 26, 2023, 11:52:59 PM
Maybe there are similar people who gets much addicted to investment. These kind of person needs to be given good counseling, only then they can be brought out of such situation. Because the continued investment could bring profit, atleast they can withdraw the profit and spend on good. These people never have such mentality, they go for further investment. For this reason, they'll have money in the table to eat, such situation needs to be avoided. Life needs to be enjoyed and anything beyond the limit is harmful for sure.
918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: April 26, 2023, 11:40:35 PM
We used to come across different gamblers winning jackpots. Looking at that we feel ourselves having similar luck and winning big money. When this changes automatically everything will be in control. Till we understand real gambling it used to be hard for us to accept loss. Once a gambler have understood, then he/she will analyse well and spend. Probably the gamblers who spend much on sports betting doesn't experience much loss compared to the gamblers spending much on casinos games.
919  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is hodling top 10 Marketcap coins a good tactic? on: April 24, 2023, 11:55:25 PM
I don't know how all the whole rating of coins work but I was wondering about those coins that are been pumped and dumped temporary by big whales of the crypto world. Just like elon musk has been doing with some shitcoins which could be very effective in terms of ratings but it would be false as its been altered by some individual.
The same isn't happening with every cryptocurrency. There are exceptions and people are used to it. When it comes to cryptocurrency we've got lot many choices and so having diversified portfolio helps in standing strong even when the market is on the downturn. Most of the cryptocurrency in the top order were of good strength, some issues have happened, but those used to be overcome by the network at the shortest.
920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Favourite MEME COINS? on: April 24, 2023, 11:51:55 PM
don't dare to invest in meme coin if you are not ready for the risk, especially for long term investment, because the price of meme coin is very difficult to increase if there is no hype or there are no influencers promoting meme coin, therefore I can say if meme coin has a big risk and you are better to investing in altcoin that have a projects (investing in AI projects is the right choice).
Meme coins are not for long term.

There's only one meme coin that I know that could have been good for those that have decided to long it and that is, Dogecoin.

Those that have bought it too early and then sold it during the ATH, they're in great profit but I doubt that it will happen again for most.
  • Once after the hype of Shiba, people have come to know about it and good number of memecoin started to roll out with similar names.
  • Dogecoin is one of the earliest in the market which grew gradually. It isn't discussed much, all of the sudden got good visibility.
  • As suggested memecoins were for short term, when it comes to long term it needs to be mostly on bitcoin. If not one should have
    the financial ability to withstand the loss.
