Its good to see that there will be some test match cricket played in the coming month between England and the WI. I think that the series will be evenly matched as there hasn't been any cricket played for so long so we can't really say one team has an advantage except for home ground advantage. Anyway I'm thinking of betting on the WI to win the first test match as some value as we don't know how well the teams will perform with no playing for so long.

Finally we are going to see some live cricket action from 1st July, 2020. After  long waiting it will be good to see some live action from England.
First Test will be played at Southampton while the 2nd and 3rd test will be played at Manchester ground.

1st Test England Vs WestIndies  8   July
2nd Test England Vs  WestIndies     16  July
3st Test England Vs WestIndies  24 July

@vella85 yea England only has the home ground advantage, but it’s also pertinent to note they can’t shine the ball and without the shine I don’t think that they’ll benefit from playing at home. Also WI player’s attitude feels like they’re over confident of beating England, hence I’m tempted to wager on England as I feel that WI will loose due to their player’s arrogance/over confidence.

Sources:

https://www.theroar.com.au/2020/06/14/england-versus-west-indies-who-will-win-the-wisden-trophy/

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29292914/jason-holder-says-world-come-together-west-indies-arrive-historic-tour

Both teams have to follow the new rule, wherein they will not be able to shine the ball. The advantage for England is that they will be playing in their home ground and are aware of the pitch condition as well as the climate. Whereas WI have to first adapt to the condition. Therefore England is in a better position than WI.

This new rule of not shining the ball is introduced keeping in view of the covid-19 and these are the temporary rules. The ball cannot be shine with  saliva but what if it is shined with the sweat of the players ? Players hand are wet from sweat and they can use it to shine the ball. Can't they ?

The other great rule is that if a person develops symptoms of covid19 in a test match he can be replaced with other player and neutral umpires is another good step including in the rules.

The players will only get the warning if they tried to shine the ball with saliva. If they did it multiple times , two warning will mean 5 runs to the batting team. If you are playing cricket in England, Australia or NZ, these places have cold climate and players hardly sweat there.  No match is being played in asia recently, so by that time this rule may be lifted or modified.

When the weather is freaking hot.. I think cold shower and ice cream. And if that won't do enough, I curse and go half naked. Gosh I hate hot weather.. Love cold weather 😄

Don't ask me what i want in such a situation  Wink
Getting into a swimming pool with a girl friend on a date will be a perfect time pass to avoid the hot weather. When you are hot inside you won't feel the hot outside.   Cheesy
943  Other / Meta / Re: How about restricting low rank people from opening new topics on: June 28, 2020, 06:29:59 AM

I guess if newbies and few other low rank members will be restricted to get approval on their topic, we may somehow solve the hassles of frequent removal of topics.


Upto which forum members do you consider are low rank except Newbies ? I am a member and i sometimes open thread even in Meta to discuss or ask something which is totally relevant so you consider Newbie, Jr Member and Member low ranked, then i will be denied to this, which is not right.

Secondly, if you say that Newbies should not be allowed to post a thread then we must know that all the Newbies does not come here to post and discuss things. Few of them only make the account to advertise their services and sites. Restricting them will be indirectly denying them to post their services.
944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chess on Sports/eSports betting on: June 28, 2020, 06:04:48 AM
I like playing chess, but watching it is quite boring. One match can take several hours and sometimes it can take up to 1 hour before a player makes a move.
I know some betting platform where you can bet on chess (but they do not accept cryptos).
I kinda agree that only a few people will enjoy watching a chess game since it takes a lot of time before a player decided to make a move. It's not that I don't find it entertaining, but in my place, there's a nearby park where some people are playing chess. But looking at their age range, older people tend to appreciate chess more than younger people. But since I think that younger people are more into online gambling compared to older people, they prefer more entertaining games and sports.

However, it's good to know that chess is starting to gain interest among players. Maybe in the future, we will be able to see a lot of sports betting platforms that will accept chess.




               Its true that older people enjoyed playing chess since it is relaxing and stimulates your brain to analyze, but to be honest it is not really that popular when it comes to betting or gambling since it is a slow paced game and needs quiet a lot of time to make a move. I have been also wondering before if there are existing gambling sites intended for chess but now i've seen some.

Can you share which sportsbook offer betting on chess matches ? 

Chess is good game to play of you know how to play it but watching a chess match is very boring. Probably that's the reason chess is not popular amount the sports bookies.

Welcome to bitcoin forum.
Could you add your original post link that plagiarized by baniakash? by adding your original comment link, there will be strong evidence that baniakash has committed plagiarism. One more thing, you can also report about any plagiarism (with proof ofc) in this thread: Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed.



Is it ok to add the link from the other forum? If it's ok i will add bro thanks for this

You can add the link, that does not comes under the "Plagiarism".

As i see it, baniakash will be permanent ban  for his act of copy paste.

You can bypass the captcha after you have resolved it for at least two times, the first time to create your account and the second to log in for the first time. we can reduces spam and makes you not need to solve any code (Javascript is not required.)

As a guest, you can access a page like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote.


You will see an address, you will pay a small fee (less than $ 1) to "avoid spam."

After your transactions are confirmed, you visit the same page and include TX id.
After verifying that you made the payment, you will get Captcha bypass register/login link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=login;ccode=cec3dfdXXXXXXXX.
Use that link to create an account and log in. Cheesy



I can't see "captcha bypass" option in my account ?  Is there any thing i am missing here ?

947  Other / Meta / Re: A little glitch in accessing bitcointalk on: June 27, 2020, 06:22:40 PM
It is not releated to Bitcointalk, it is on your side and can be solved as follows:

Fix #1: Try any other browser.
Fix #2: (Same browser) Change the default search engine to any alternative search engine, and then add it manually.

Thanks for your suggestions but this is not only on my side as you can see other members also experiencing some abnormality.

Yes, I also found a bit of an oddity, when I entered the Bitcointalk forum.
<snip>

maybe, something is happening...!

I only experienced that error which i showed in my post and after that the site operating normally.

949  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Coronavirus in world on: June 27, 2020, 05:15:36 PM
Im from the Philippines and I can say that the situation here is not good. The situation actually gets worse everyday. People have to go outside to work because the government failed to give them the proper help that they need. People have no choice but to risk their lives despite the fact that they might acquire the virus outside because there will be no food on their plate. It makes me sad to see this situation.

Only the elite class are not badly affected by this global pandemic. Because they can eat and live comfortably without worrying about the work. They may have businesses that are not doing good but their problem is not comparable to those families that are struggling to find food for their everyday life. We need to make the most out of this situation. As much as possible, be frugal and if you can share to less fortunate ones. That would be better.

The real reason the elite aren't affected by the global pandemic is, they have inside info. They know what is really happening regarding the pandemic. What do they know? That the whole thing is a fear pandemic, not a virus pandemic. The death numbers are being fudged. The media is lying about it. The medical is lying about it. The elite know this.

Cool

I understand that the numbers are being manipulated but this does not mean that the virus does not exists. Virus do exists and a almost half of the people have died from this virus out of the total reported. In other worlds, half of the case reported of corona virus are real ones and the rest half is surely manipulated.
950  Other / Meta / Re: The curious case of the forum member distrusting Satoshi on: June 27, 2020, 02:21:46 PM

Therefore I believe that he has some mental disorders or he does not know what he did -- meaning that maybe he wanted to add Satoshi to his Trust List but instead he added him to the distrust list.

Ideas Huh

There could be two things either he is not aware of the trust system and how it works  or maybe he purposely did it to get some fame and attention as he is getting now (although there are less chances of it). I would be waiting to see his point of view if he replies on this thread.

What a joke of a sportsbook, I’ve lost nearly 3000$ in a week and the bonuses are a joke, 30$ daily reload, you ask for a higher reload and get laughed at for losing big bets... this sportsbook always has errors on the main page ... if you don’t wager on this website this book is a huge joke... for example if you deposit 10 grand and lose it instantly you won’t be offered anything but if you deposit 50$ and wager 10k with that 50$ you will be offered more.. will be posting a more in depth post shortly with screenshots and photos

Getting bonus on reloads and wagering bonus does not grantee that you will always win. If you lose your bet in a sportsbook you money is lost, no matter how much you wagered or deposited. If you lost 3000$ in a week, it means that you bet or wagered this amount and you lost it. There is nothing to be surprised on this because this is called gambling.

Again, I don’t care about losing money my dude what I’m saying is most books offer 10-20% loss back weekly and the daily reload and weekly boost doesn’t equate to that so in the bonus wise of sports it’s not worth it.. casino is different.

Casinos are different and even all the casino have different policies. You should read the terms and conditions, FAQs or ask the support if you have any query regrading the site.
If you are not comfortable with the rules, better not play at this site and stick to sports books which offer loss back.
952  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: Make it just a little more difficult to create a new account. on: June 27, 2020, 10:12:18 AM
Implement guest/anonymous posting with no account IMO..
That was possible when the forum started (Anonymous Guest or Guest with name). My guess is it was disabled to reduce spam.



Many websites make it difficult to use them. More and more sites even require an account to be able to read something, some forums require an account to see posted attachments, and the last site I joined took several weeks to approve my account. I'm with theymos on this: these barriers are terrible! Most of the time I leave the site. Don't make it harder for real users!

These restrictions are mostly found when we join facebook groups where they want us to read or view video or perform a little survey before joining. This is just annoying and does not suit a forum which is about bitcoin and decentralized currencies. We already have enough measures in control so after making the account no one can misuse the system.

Watched Body Cam this weekend not knowing exactly what to expect. Turns out it is disturbingly on-topic for todays situation.

Just watched this movie and I can confirm it is a great one! Must watch!

Besides, someone mentioned a few days ago a short TV series - The Lost Room - but, for some reason the post is deleted. I thought to mention it again, as it it very nice. It has only 3 episodes but it worths your time.

Are you talking about this TV series (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0830361/) which had its season 1 (3 episodes) in 20o6 ? It feature few of my favorite actors like Peter Krause and Julianna Margulies. I still like to watch this series.

Lucky Indeed. It is very difficult to won a Jackpot.

I tried many times but never able to won the jackpot or lottery.  Sad
If you want to win daily jackpot then its need some good amount of bitcoins in your account and then try on dice if you have lucky day then surely you can go home with delight as I try few times but my lucky days gone.

That's the risk while playing this daily lottery. If luck does not favors, people will lose a lot of money. Also i cannot afford to play jackpot daily. I can try once in a week but then i also find it hard to win. Looks like an impossible task for me to accomplish.

Correct the title op. It says 'Gmabling' instead of 'Gambling' which itself shows that you aren't serious about your work. Also, the site title is confusing. You could have come up with a better title. Difficult to even pronounce properly.

None of the popular gambling sites have been included in the OP website.
On going through the site , i only found these sites which are not Top 10 by any means.
Have to disagree here. Couple of them like Bovada or Bodog, Bet365 and Nitrogen Sports are actually very popular and deserve to be in the top 10.

There are many other gambling sites which deserves to be in Top 10 like fortune jack, primedice etc.
Also check the stars in front of the sites, None in front of Nitrogen Sports or Bet365.  Sad

One can create 30 accounts here in probably 5 minutes or less.  There isn't even an email confirmation needed to create an account so one can just put in a random anything.  At least confirm someone's registration email actually exists. I think that will help avoid a lot of junk users.  Def not foolproof but way better than not even confirming an email one uses even if it's a "throwaway" email.



As far as I know you cannot create 30 accounts at the same time and that too in 5 mins  Cheesy A super human can be that fast.

If you are using a clean IP, after creating 3 or 4 accounts you will get an IP ban (Evil IP) on the account and to activate those accounts you need to pay a small portion of bitcoins. So you have to pay for those accounts if you want to post from them.
958  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Top Gmabling site on XTOPTEN.com on: June 26, 2020, 05:00:30 PM
Since this is a crypto forum, you guys should probably include online gambling sites that are crypto friendly. There are lots of them that are popular in the crypto space, trustworthy and have been around for a while like Fortunejack, Cloudbet etc

I think I need to understand this, now have been hearing about (Merit system implementation), so I want to know.

**Does it mean that when the merit system was implemented on bitcointalk. The earlier adopters of Bitcointalk got a legendary rank automatically.

I know this is an old history of how Bitcointalk forum and rest of everything comes to existence. But I think newbies will like to know how it came about and those earlier members of the forum what happened to them.

When the merit system was implemented, everyone ranks was as they had before the merit implementation and hence it favored those who already were at high ranks in bitcointalk. But over the time, this does not matter much because those members who ware spammers were ruled out of this system because they were not able to get further merits and many of the accounts were also banned or tagged after that time. Now most of the high ranked members (before and after the implementation of merits) are the ones who deserved to be there.
