IPL STARTS TODAY

The first match of this season starts today. GT VS CSK, Hardik VS Mahi. I am expecting it to be good game considering the hype that has been created around it. CSK is an excellent team if I compare it with GT but you never can predict which team might win. This will be the 16 th year of IPL and many RCB fans are predicting that this year RCB will win the cup. LOL! I admire their confidence and I hope I am not offending any RCB fans here.

We are here for the next two months full of IPL craze. It will be an interesting time to see all the big players competing in the biggest T20 league tournament. Also I hope everyone enjoyed the opening ceremony of this year's IPL.

Gujarat Titans look strong in this match and they need now 90 runs in 66 balls that is 11 overs. The target may seem a bit high but GT has lost only one wicket. Gill And Sudharsan , both playing good for Gujrat and they can easily take their team to the first win in the first match of this IPL.
The required runrate for Gujarat Titans were 8 runs per over, but the current runrate is 9.5+ runs per over. This is an easy winning match for Gujarat Titans. Chennai Super Kings expected players failed to perform. Convay is to give a blasting start, and in the middle order Ben Stokes didn't perform. Already it is said that Ben Stokes won't be bowling for few matches which too a drawback for Chennai Super Kings.

Right now, Khachanov is winning practically without the slightest difficulty against Cerundolo.
Ok well, between the two players there is certainly already a certain difference but the Russian is playing at really high levels Roll Eyes

Khachanov won really easily against Cerundolo in just a little over an hour. This was for him like a little hard training match and i think he will be ready for Medvedev and we can expect a good match between the Russian. Currently h2h is 3-1 for Medvedev but i think we can see a good match between them
Both Medvedev and Khachanov to face in the semifinals after the easy winning against Eubanks and Cerundolo. Both the players from Russia and were of the same age is even more interesting. The match is sure to reach the third set and I'm sure it'd reach tie breaker in atleast one set. Medvedev leads 3-1, among that 2 played in hard surface won by Medvedev and got higher chance of winning the match.

Neymar is having fun. The loss couldn't affect his living in any means, but he need to be careful gambling with big money. When trying to defeat the system with big money the risk is high. He have got more to do in his professional football. Soon we can see him as a part of some gambling platform as the brand ambassador.

Now gambling platforms could queue up to make him their brand promoter which gives back him much more than what he have lost.

Myself introduced gambling to my girlfriend, and she started to gamble regularly. Bets doesn't go higher than $1 and initially she enjoyed it as she didn't experience loss. Later started to loss, and requests me to recover her loss for her. I used to recover playing with bigger bets and one day lost big. From that day she completely stopped gambling, not even for fun she doesn't gamble. I mention this just to state what is being said in the OP is true, men easily turns addictive. Good for the men is to concentrate on sports betting than casino games.

Bangladesh needs to face a reality check very soon. At least in test format. Otherwise, they are not going to perform better in the test format. Bangladesh seriously needs to face some serious threat from the ICC that the test status is going to be taken away. Probably after that Bangladesh will concentrate on the test format.

Test team like Bangladesh and Srilanka woul continue to play like they have been in the present without any issue. ICC won't do anything as they already have very less test playing nation. Any action against these two teams will result in the decline of viewership from the respective countries and also will not help ICC to revive this format.

I would like to see new countries getting added to the list but it seems most of them are more interested in playing the shorter format of the game as it brings more revenue to the board.
To have its test status continue certain criteria need to be fulfilled by the test playing nations. Few of which, the team must be an associate member for atleast 4 years. The team should have the required infrastructure, commited to the development of cricket within the nation, good domestic cricket setup, Financial ability to organise tournaments and more. In recent years no new country have shown interest towards test format cricket. Bangladesh is one among the emerging country that could've give good competence to the leading teams. Sri Lanka performance over time is diminishing as the experienced players weren't no more part of the team.

We all want to bet in a casino where we easily get bonuses whether we are winning or losing. This is one of the best things every gamblers want to be seeing in the casino they are using to make bets. We all to keep winning not minding if want we are doing can give us a good profit or not. That is the fate of a gambler to always winning not minding when the bad day would come.
Don't you also want a provably-fair system where you can check the authenticity of every bet that you are playing whether they are fair or not? And what about a smaller wagering requirement for those bonuses or even the deposits? Wouldn't that be sweet? I think it would, I don't really disagree that gamblers love good bonuses when they get some, but there are things that add to the flavor.

I would surely love to have a 200% or maybe 300% bonus on my deposit but I would also love to not have a very high wagering requirement for that if I manage to win a few bucks that I might want to withdraw.
Almost every trusted gambling platform have the provably fair system and the same had been verified. Some time there were issues and were reported. Though we don't test each and every bet for the fair functioning, it is believed to be provably fair. Small wagering requirements receiving bonus is really good and a needed one, as the small wagerers can't compete with the Whale gamblers.

Finally gambling is business and without profit we can't see good number of gambling sites existing regularly. Such a big percentage of bonus provided with less wagering requirements doesn't profit them. So, we can't expect such things to be available for the gamblers.

Seeing Tsitsipas lose to Khachanov was unexpected and after always winning his meetings with Khachanov this was the first defeat and Khachanov beat him in a convincing performance.
What was unexpected for me here was the fact that bookies placed Khachanov as favorite. I leapt at the opportunity and lost quite a lot on money on Tsitsipas. I had him to take at least one set @1.4 which seemed like free money and to win @2.1. In the end it seems that bookies knew something we didn't.

That's completely unexpected, atleast Tsitsipas should've won a set. The first set was really fighting and the tie breaker favoured Khachanov. Maybe the bookies could've sensed the match outcome through tennis fans opinion. Finally Miami Open have reached the final stage. Every Quarter finalists were young and energetic and I believe Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz and Khachanov will move to the semifinals and once again the final match played between Alcaraz and Medvedev.

He never considered it $41/10k bitcoin, all he wanted was to know whether bitcoin could buy anything. Through our forum he tried and got the answer. He posted it knowing that no service had bitcoin acceptance by then. With that incident people understood it had got value and further it started to increase as the people's interest over it as well as the usage as alternate currency and for transaction needs increased.

Till date the person who took the order and delivered him with the Pizza weren't known to the outer world much. His words were important, because with what mind he bought and whether he kept hold or used for something else need to be known. Jeremy Sturdivant have used it to spend on traveling around USA with his girlfriend. So, both have done it for some reason and printed the names in the history of bitcoin.

Almost every cryptocurrency hodler have similar thought. On execution atleast 50% of them were unable to follow it. Even for manageable finance requirement people easily cashout bitcoin and use it thinking in mind we can buy it soon. The buying won't happen as planned and this affects the investment, but while considering the good about the usage it helps with the circulation.

Whenever there is need for money I prefer to cashout and spend without thinking of borrowing or a second choice, because I live with a mind that we should not die with debt. We don't know what happens by the next minute, so it is always good to live with what we have than keeping things secure for long term and when there is need for money we might've left the world.

Bangladesh are very strong in their own country conditions, so Ireland can't take any advantage here. Otherwise, Ireland is not as weak a team as seen in Bangladesh. Because Ireland played very good cricket in the last World Cup.
All of the matches ended as one sided game in this series. I think we will see similar results in the 3rd T20 match. Ireland isn't a weak team, but there was lack of confidence in the team. They were doing misfield, making overthrows and not bowling at the proper length. They were keeping the fielders on the leg boundary side. But the bowlers were always bowling on the off side. That's why Bangladesh set a big target in today's match.
Let's see what happens in the third T20 match. I expected big performance from Ireland, but things didn't worked well. Atleast in the last T20 match if things go well for Ireland we'll have a watchable match. In today's match good performance have come from Litton Das scoring 83 runs of 41 balls. Shakib Al Hasan had scored 38* runs and deserve for the player of the match for his 5 wickets haul.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 29, 2023, 07:30:31 AM
Alzarri Joseph's 4th over can be considered as the turning point for this match as he dismissed the most reliable batsman R Hendricks for just 9 runs to save the team from defeat. He took two more wickets in that over, Parnell, Klassen helping the West Indies win. But Markram had a great performance in the last over, he was able to take 18 runs in the last over but unfortunately 26 in the last over was almost impossible. Anyway congratulations to West Indies team for winning today's match.

With this win West indies won the series 2-1. I didn't watch the match but they needed 35 runs in last 2 overs and in 19th over Joseph picked 3 wikcets and the match turned towards West Indies otherwise 35 runs on 12 balls is something you can achieve. Another high scoring game where 433 runs were scored.
Second T20I between Bangladesh and Ireland will be played today. Bangladesh are one up in the series and they are favorite today as well. Bangladesh won series against England 3-0 recently.

Actually I am surprised to see that West Indies still remain competitive in the T20 format. And this time they won the series without any of their heavyweights such as Narine, Russell and Pollard. Rovman Powell lead an inexperienced side, with support from Nicholas Pooran, Brandon King, Johnson Charles and Alzarri Joseph. And South Africa lost the series just because of their poor bowling. Their batsmen were exceptional, but bowlers leaked too many runs. And yesterday it was the turn of Kagiso Rabada, Wayne Parnell and Lungi Ngidi to go over 10 runs per over mark.   
West Indies is a team that does miracles mostly in the unexpected moment. The team ends the innings for less than 100 runs and in the next match the same team scores 200+ runs. There is lack of consistency in performance, once the team comes into form the same continues for some time period. Players from West Indies in the IPL could've created big expectation. South Africa on the other side supposed to win the match as the previous match. 15th and 16th over came good from Shepherd and Joseph, of not the match could've went in favour of South Africa.

South Africa vs West Indies
Westindies batter brutally smashed the entire South African Bowling lineup in this 3rd t20 match of this series, westindies batter mange to collect a huge runs of 220 in 20th over as a target, where wicket keeper batter Nicholas pooran add 41 runs by hitting 4 sixes with a strike rate of 215 while Romario Shepherd and King add 44 and 36 to the target respectively, alredy series is tied with 1-1 , this will be a deciding match for them because who ever win this match will win the series, now let's see how SouthAfrica batter manage to chase this huge target in just 20th overs.

That was really exceptional from West Indies. This type of target is going to be really hard for South Africa to chase down. The least economical bowler for South Africa has given nine runs per over. The last wicket's partnership was also great for West Indies.

South Africa is betting right now and they are doing well. Well, I have to say they were doing well because as I was writing this, Quentin de Kock got out. His strike rate was 100. He needed to do far better. South Africa is 36/1 after 4.3 overs

West Indies used to give some unexpected performance, and this time they weren't able to make it a winning match. When batters does well, the bowlers fail. Even today's match looks similar, because West Indies have made a target of 220 runs but the opponent team is good enough to score 148/2 in 14 overs. Once again the match to be favoured South Africa as West Indies bowlers weren't able to give break. For South Africa Hendricks 63* and Miller 11* on the crease.

Tracking or monitoring the cashflow in a business should be a must to all business owners out there. It would also promote discipline and will help you make costing, more efficient. The usual problem with businesses are not being able to track the amount of profit and expenses which results to lack of sustanability for the business in general. Money runs a business, give a valid reason why being organized about it should be disregarded. If you would be able to determine losses, gains, expenses, and other billings, it would also allow you to plan and analyze what have gone wrong and give you enough time to fix the mistakes occured for that particular week or month.
Financial record is a must in our personal family life as well as for business. When it comes to family when the income increases automatically the expense too goes high. This shouldn't happen and this is possible through maintaining financial record. At times we'll have additional expenses and the months saving gets decreased. Through the financial record it can be easily identified and the spending can be limited on the next month.

With business financial record helps in maintaining the stocks in a perfect way. Through this we can order for raw material or necessary things at the right time. Important thing financial record, it is much useful during the year's audit for tax submission.

Indeed the market looks green at the moment and bitcoin and altcoin prices are again experiencing a positive increase. However, we don't know yet whether the current increase is a sign of entering the bull run phase or just the current price increase as a temporary price increase. Therefore, let's see how far the crypto market moves in the future.
The market that was found green and bullish for the past few days time have turned red. With the Binance US and CZ sued by the CFTC, the market started to fall off. As a result now the market is completely in blood bath. This could continue for another few days and again the bullish move can be expected. The price of bitcoin above $28k is now moving closer to $27k.

Pakistan's batting today is slightly better than the first two matches. But they lost the wicket of Mohammed Haris by just 3 runs. And they lost the second wicket by 28 runs. At the end of 7 overs, Pakistan collected 62 runs. And Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique are batting well. If this pair can play well then Pakistan is expected to be able to give a big target today. Pakistan will lose today if they give a target of less than 150 in today's match. So batsmen should bat with responsibility. Pakistan will definitely not want to lose all the matches in the T20 series against a team like Afghanistan.
Batting today is slightly better then first two matches as Pakistan are 87 after completion of 10 overs. Its a big game for Afghanistan as they will try to whitewash Pakistan while Pakistan will try to avoid further humiliation. Wise move by Shadab to drop Azam khan as there is already a wicketkeeper batsmen in the form of Muhammad Haris. Azam khan might be legend in leagues but to play international cricket he need to pay attention to his fitness. His wicketkeeping behind the wickets in beyond standards of international cricket.

Pakistan vs Afghanistan

Pakistan has already lost the series. They are now just playing to salvage something from this series. Pakistan has certainly put on a good score on the board in this match. Afghanistan also seems to be having some problems chasing that.

Right now Afghanistan is batting. As I was writing this, Afghanistan lost 3 wickets for two runs. It was 71/3 and now it is 73/6. And they also have Zadran retired hurt. Really don't think that they will be able to win. Seems to be like it is going to be a win for Pakistan.

The third T20 is a win for Pakistan. As Afghanistan ended the innings at 116 runs, it was a big win for Pakistan by 66 runs. Ihsanullah and Shadab Khan bowled well taking 3 wickets each. Mohammad Nabi rewarded the player of the match. Hope the winning of the match will help them build the team even better. Afghanistan is performing really good, they've learnt to perform according to the target and match situation. The failure is while chasing big target, the players just build pressure and carries it around which needs to be changed.

Alliassime vs cerundolo is not going as i expected its a totaly different game from the last one they had few weeks ago, cerundolo won the first set easily and the second one seem tied at the moment but i still think aliassime can turn things around he's been in a good shape recently.
The first set too a big win for Cerúndolo, as Aliassime have lost the first set of the match 2-6. The young player have been fighting hard and the second set is lead by Cerúndolo 6-5. Big Performance have come from Cerúndolo. It looks like Auger Aliassime is feeling down, even in his previous match against Monteiro he won the match in two direct sets, but both the sets were won on the tie breaker 77-65 710-68.

I did say Felix AA was not performing at his usual level but I still backed him today,
I thought he would still prevail but yea going out in 2 sets is not great for his capabilities.
Cerundolo I learned was a semi finalist last year, yea I learned that after he beat Felix....
Every tournament used to have disappointing outcome. In the Miami Open this is second disappointment, first one was the loss of Zverev against Taro Daniel that too in a very bad way 6-0 6-4. Now the second one where Alex is predicted as the winner and today everyone who had chosen have got good luck to win big rewards. Last year's semi finalist seems to reach the semifinals this season too.

Without having to wait for bankruptcy and having no money at all, a person can actually stop gambling, but not stop completely, but slowly.
Everything depends on intention and effort, when a gambler who is already addicted and has a strong will to stop then he slowly reduces his gambling activities and prefers to look for other, more positive activities such as work so he can forget about gambling little by little.
Nothing is impossible if there is a strong intention and determination accompanied by an effort.
I talked with a psychologist before and the best way to replace and addiction is with another harmless addiction most of the time. All kinds of addictions have a trouble, but for example if you are a gambler, the closest would be doing card tricks, doesn't need to be related to gambling and you could just pick up reading which is awesome and you would read hours per day instead of gambling, but since most gamblers love cards, you could do card tricks and that way you would be still doing something that is also in the gambling world, and you would be losing no money. You could play games, watch shows, do whatever, just replace that hour with something else that is fun.
This is the common remedy for all kind of addiction. When it comes to smoking, those people were requested to go with chewing gum to divert the mind to smoke. Same as that drunkards were requested to go with something specific and divert the attention. With gambling what can be done, just play games. This is the best choice, because some people in the name of getting out of addiction from one source starts getting addicted to the other means. Such situation shouldn't arise, so the user himself need to realise and take action.

Depends on your definition of world currency... I've lived and worked in multiple countries and believe me, the dollar isn't as easily used or even sold as one might think. At least, not in the global South.

Now Bitcoin, I could sell it quicker and more easily in any of these countries (and often do). Fits the bill for me.
Yes, people have got different definition for the term world currency. If we take it as anywhere accessible, then bitcoin is a world currency. Rather than the USD and Euro it is easy for bitcoin to be converted to cash and used. Though USD serves as the world reserve currency it can be easily used in very few countries around the world. Even the acceptance is found high for bitcoin in rest of the world where the nation have got their own national currency.

The medical expenses vary a lot between the two countries. The same medical treatment provided at $10000 can be availed at $1000 on Mexico. This is a big difference, and in particular I've heard about Dental treatments were very expensive in America. With the ongoing economic issues things could've gone even worse. Rich might not be the sufferer, mostly the middle class people who are at the level of moving to next level growth suffers with these kind of expnse.
