This is how bullshit happens, i placed a bet on India to win expecting them to whitewash the series and they made major changes in the team and there is no way they are going to win this match without their main players that played in the first two matches, sadly i had to cash out at a huge loss after India started good and then loosing all the wickets for 225 runs which i did not expect.
Indians took the match very lightly, since they already won the series. Also, it looked as if they wanted to make sure that Sri Lanka gets 10 points in the World Cup Super League. Now Sri Lanka has 22 points from 12 matches and they have moved up from the 12th place to the 11th place. Netherlands have been demoted to the 12th place (20 points from 3 matches). It was not a wise decision to make a bet in favor of India, after they won the series. They always take such matches casually and yesterday also it was no different.
Well they made 6 changes and 5 of them were debutantes although they were very much familiar faces in IPL arena. After winning 2 consecutive match it was logical to give other guys some game time and international experience so i would say its okay, there was nothing on stake for the Indians anyway.
I also think the decision of the Indian management is right. India have already won the series. And their performance was admirable. By changing the players in the squad and giving new players a chance, new players will have the opportunity to be experienced and their abilities will also be revealed. This will make it easier for future Indian national teams to find experienced players.
Although Indian management wanted to experiment but they lost the match in the end. I think there is a difference between winning a series by margin of 2-1 and 3-0. If they had won the series 3-0, they could have given strong message to the opposition.

As such, it is India's second tier team. So if they lose a match in the entire series, it is not too disrespectful for India. Maybe they lost a match, but the results of giving new players a chance will be seen by the Indian team in the future. They Understand which players are suitable for international matches.

Just looking at the India and England team, how far ahead they are going as compare to other teams. Recently England also played and won again Pakistan with their Tier 2 team. They, India and England both have developed 2 teams each which can beat any international team. Aussies are losing the winning streak and the rest of the teams are worthless who only perform once in a while.

Bangladesh lost their first two batsmen by just 17 runs. Now after 8 overs, Bangladesh collected 52 runs. But they lost their main 3 wickets. Despite the excellent performance in all the past matches, the performance of the batsmen in today's match is disgusting. However, we have seen such a poor performance from the Bangladesh team before.
And today Zimbabwe won the match by 23 runs, i thought Bangladesh could win the match but they lost their momentum as Zimbabwe was able to pick wickets at regular interval and i would like to know the odds for Zimbabwe before the match started because i am certain that the odds were big as everyone expected Bangladesh to win the match if they got a good start.
The Zimbabwe bowlers bowled well, bringing the series to 1-1, but the Bangladesh batsmen displaying totally undisciplined batting tactics. The Bangladeshi team made a lot of mistakes, it's time for Bangladesh to realize that T-20 cricket is not all about lofty shots. Bangladesh's T20 side has a problem with this. Zimbabwe deserves this victory. Congratulations to the Zimbabwe cricket team.

Its a first win for Zimbabwe  after the loss in the ODI's and first T20 match. This should be refreshing for the Zimbabwe team. They should now try to win the final T20 and win the series, although it will be a difficult task. Bangladesh are favorites and more stronger in the series.
Madhevere played a very good innings of 73 which helped Zimbabwe achieve the fighting score.
903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: July 21, 2021, 03:25:55 PM
Pakistan made less run in their innings and also they do not have the bowling line up to defend this small target.

Overall it was a bad series for Pakistan. They have lost both the ODI and T20 series and it will shatter their confidence before going into T20 World cup. They should have shown better performances specially in T20 matches.

Out of the 6 matches, they lost 5. So overall, it was a bad series. But there were some brilliant individual performance from the Pakistan players. Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam did well with the bat, while Shaheen Afridi was impressive with the ball. So it was not all doom and gloom. There are a lot of positives that they can take from this tour. And for the T20 world cup, they definitely have an advantage, because the matches are going to take place in UAE and Oman, and the players are well suited to those conditions.

The individual performances does not matter much when they can't contribute in the winning of the team. All such efforts go in vain and no one remember them if the team does not win.
I must appreciate the England team who despite the B team, played superbly and got an historic win.

Coming from the thread Hire me as your campaign or bounty manager assistant!, I personally think that managing a bounty is not a easy thing to do. Its not easy to go through all the social media posts and  calculate the stakes and distribute them evenly.
Apart from this counting and distributing stuff, the campaign managers have to make sure that they project they are managing should not scam as in case of any mishaps, bounty hunters only blame the bounty manager.

Life of bounty manager is tough for sure.

Have you ever managed a campaign before? As Yahoo mentioned in the other thread that It was a lucrative task to manage a campaign 2-3 year ago, as in early days, projects usually get lot of investments during crowdsale and they pay very good rewards to the people working for them. But these days projects usually gets very little fundings like $1m would be a lot for them, so they pay accordingly, not to mention those projects which are created just to get some fundings without having any marketing budget, So they pay very little to the bounty manager. And for a "Good bounty manager", those rewards are usually not enough, because he has hired people for him to manage different campaigns, reviewing hundreds of entries every day.

But I'm with projects owners too, As these days I have seen hundreds of hunters who have created many alt accounts to spam the campaigns, and the content they create is "useless", It usually brings "ZERO" results to the project in terms of the investment.

I have not managed any campaign but the question being asked is whether managing a bounty is a easy task or a difficult task. Some may think it is easy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5349962.msg57494694#msg57494694), but i think otherwise.

Whether Manager gets good pay or the projects get enough exposure is another lengthy discussion. If answer to both of these question is No, then why bounty managers keep on managing bounties and why projects onwers keeps on promoting when they know the outcome will be zero  Huh

Managing campaign is the easiest understandable way to earn money here. So everyone think that can do this job. Only check and count, sounds easy.
it is also the reason why the value of this type of work has drop.

Managing bounty may seems easy but it is not a easy task at all. However, we should discuss this topic somewhere else. Probably i will make a separate thread for this discussion. Let the OP find the work for which he has opened this service.
We are sorry, We have hijacked his thread  Sad

Good catch but the bad news is that you just rebroadcast his services advert again to keep him in business of scamming those who didn't see the original thread(link down anyway) Op I think the mistake was to include his working telegram link, there is 80% possibility that this thread would get more click and views than the original thread. Imho the telegram link is not necessary.

Do you think that after so many warnings and discussion, people will still approach the merit seller scammer for the merits ? If that is the mentality of the people, then i am afraid it will be their fault if they are scammed or exposed of merit buying.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taxes on gambling send the right message? on: July 18, 2021, 11:07:30 AM


But the other option seems more beneficial to the government. If they prohibit gambling, gambling activities would still continue illegally. Illegal gambling would still go on. So in order to implement the law against it, the government will have to spend much money for law enforcement. So it is better to just allow gambling for as long as regulations are complied and taxes paid. The government earns money and pursuing illegal gambling activities would be reduced.

It is really costly to find stop and prosecute these underground gambling casinos, instead of making profit from gambling they will have to spend just stop and prosecute them, but heavy taxes will also force gambling who cannot keep up to go underground so they should not impose very heavy taxes to the point these gambling casinos cannot keep up anymore on it's operation.

If you consider profit from gambling as an income, then you should pay the taxes on your profits. This is similar if you are in trading and you should pay taxes on your gains. If the tax system in your country is good, then there is no reason not to pay taxes.

I would like to bring your attention to a matter where when you create a new account, you are asked to pay certain fee in order to start posting. One of my relative created the account and faced this evil ip case (although he never created account before).
The problem is that he is willing to pay the fee too but the amount of fee is too low and bitcoin transaction fee when added to it, it becomes much more amount than the actual fee.
Is there any way he can pay the fee in any other altcoin where tx fee is not greater than the amount itself or suggestions on how to pay fee effectively ?

You can guide him to pay at once for a copper membership and get the proxyban removed as well with it.

Hi, I can't help but notice how it looks like you are signing up with two different identities. I will ask how to proceed.
I'm sure this isn't a single case, we see how some accounts post the same number of messages every single week. But I have to check how to proceed.

I hope you can approved me

Hello, there were 2 new subscriptions:
1) mrongoz22
2) mrongoz_imut

Can you confirm that we are talking about 2 different people who coincidentally have almost the same name and posted one after the other in the same day?
I await your kind reply.

Instead of asking him, you only need to see the trust rating for the said person.

Hopefully you only got temp banned and could still post in this forum, probably you got banned since you're brand new user and asking a loan without provide valid collateral which is suspicious and scammy.

I think OP is not banned because he has just posted this post today. Maybe he is more worried about the Red trust which he have received by this incident.
Unfortunately this cannot be undone so people remain cautious that he previuosly tried to get the loan with a collateral with a disposable newbie account.

Also to everyone posting, no I am not a scammer and I have posted collateral for this loan. You can take off your negative feedback now, thank you.
913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terms and condition a must read before signing up any online gambling site on: July 18, 2021, 07:34:06 AM
Thanks for mentioning VPN as the next thing that we need to know as many casinos will not allowing people to use VPN and only allow them to have one account for one person. Maybe if you be honest to them that you use VPN because your ISP does not allow you to visit a gambling site and allow you, that will not be a problem, but that will depend on their policy. After we know about the rules, we hope we can take care of ourselves by playing gambling without trying to break the rules.
Most casinos don't allow the usage of VPN and that's why you have to be careful in using it. Although some allows it to use but if you're spot on the casino that don't allow it then you know the consequence that you're about to take.
That's why it's important to read even a couple of important lines with the TOS of any casino you sign up and also any other website. Because you'll actually get to see what they're up too including data collection.
Yeah, but maybe you can try to use VPN and play because I guess some of those casinos will allow you just to play gambling. But I am not sure if they will allow you to withdraw the money once you win. Maybe from now on and in the future, maybe most online casinos will use strict rules to prevent people from breaking their rules because those casinos bond with regulation from the licensed regulator and do not want their license repeal. We really need to be very careful.

Well this can be risky because if certain country is not allowed by them, they may allow you to deposit and play but if you win big amount they may ask for KYC. If that happens, they may not let you withdraw because you were from forbidden country and was playing via VPN.

Why take such risks when there are so many other sites with no restrictions ?

BTW if you deposit using any crypto when placing a sports bet all your crypto will be converted to Bitcoin.

Are you sure about this conversion from other crypto to bitcoin while we are placing bet on sports? I placed a bet on sports with LTC last May but it was not converted into bitcoin. Is this a new system on Fortunejack that has just been implemented recently?





@Bitnity I feel that there’s some confusion here because FJ won’t force the currency conversion on its user’s, and I’m not entirely sure what happened in this case but I refuse to believe his statement. Furthermore I’m sure as soon as Tornike sees this he’ll immediately respond and clear the air about it, till then let’s not speculate about this.

No, there is no automatic currency conversion as far as i know in fortune jack. That wouldn't be fair because all the alts have different rates and they don't follow bitcoin. I hope this is not a new feature. If i am betting with LTC, i would want to win or loss in the same currency and also don't want to complicate calculations.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You got a pifzer ? Then you can be eligible for lottery in Poland. on: July 17, 2021, 03:34:43 PM
I think there are two things at stake here. As far as I know, treatment in Poland is covered by the state, so certainly a country like Poland would have to spend much more than $ 260k on treatment of people who do not get vaccinated. The second reason is definitely politics, which is showing people how good the government is and how much it cares for its citizens.
Governments are also encouraging people to get vaccinated because we cannot really have people in a perpetual lockdown, if the economy collapsed then the pandemic could be the least of our worries so we need to go back to work and get the economy going once again and this is only possible if the majority of the population is vaccinated, it is not going to be easy or cheap but it is something that is necessary to do.

Its good if government are taking action to make sure people get vaccinated. At the same time, people also willing to get vaccinated and feel themselves save. But the government should not differentiate between different version of the vaccine. If a person has taken pifzer  or any other WHO recommended vaccine, he should be treated with equality who took pifzer.

Can anyone believe that a team who lost 3-0 in the ODI, is playing at 150-0 in T20. What a turn around is this or this Pakistan team best performs in T20 matches?
Both of the openers are willing to make a new opening wicket partnership record. England bowlers are looking helpless at the moment.
It is hard to believe that Pakistan is on a verge of victory as England lost 9 wickets and there is no way they are going to win the match but the only positive for England is Liam Livingstone and his wonderful century and if anyone could have accompanied him England could have a chance to win the match but sadly the rest of the England batting line up was a disappointment and a surprising win for Pakistan.

At one moment i thought England will win the match when Liam Livingstone was batting. 233 was a big task which every team would have struggled to chase.
I wonder how many people would have lost their bets because England was the favorite.

Why teams in asia are hard to predict , first Pakistan and now Bangladesh  Smiley
By the way, Bangladesh have recovered very well and it won't be easy for Zimbabwe to chase this target even though they are playing in their home ground.
This is the nature of cricket game. It's not about Asian cricket teams only. Every team tries to play slowly and save their wickets after losing some wickets quickly. Remaining batsman set the target to make quick runs in last few overs. Bangladesh team just followed this method today and got the success too. Zimbabwean batsman showed poor performance and lost the game by huge runs. Bangladesh team may win the next two match in the same way.

In any case, Bangladesh should win the matches and the series because they are superior team than Zimbabwe. Bangladesh is on the Number 7 in the Men's ODI Team Rankings while Zimbabwe team is at number 13.  There is no comparison between the two teams. If Zimbabwe wins any match, it will be an upset.
