I think that most of the world is just that the majority of every country is always poor people. Because if it doesn't have poor people it certainly doesn't have rich people.

Also, many people actually prefer to be poor than to be rich. Although everyone wants to get rich, most people just don't believe in themselves that they will. That's why most people are satisfied with what they have in their current state of life.
Majority of the money with the rich is one of the reason why poor people stay poor forever. In most of the countries lack of infrastructure and improper management too a reason for the increasing number of poor people. Majority of people's spending happens with medical and educational needs. With good planning governments can avail it for free. Very few governments around the world does it perfectly.

Next thing is the heavy taxation. The taxation is to support the life of the people. But corruption happens and the money is enjoyed by politicians and businessman with the support of ruling governments. With the support of government the category poor can be taken off.

Suryakumar Yadav started his t20 career with a high blow but all of a sudden he lost his pace and momentum . In recent matches he's  not performing anything .
Mumbai Indians have to do something about their performance and team order to win the game otherwise they'll be the first one to out of ipl.
Yeah. Sky's form has dropped drastically in recent times and he is clearly going through a lean patch which sucks for MI since he is their star player. MI are missing players like Bumrah etc too.

However, I don't think they will be the first one to exit IPL 2023 since SRH is the top contender in comparison.
Avoiding wicket fall during the powerplay is very important. In the match against CSK, Mumbai Indians were in good position during the end of powerplay. Soon after powerplay the second wicket (Ishan Kishan) fell. From there scoring got dropped and wickets too fell. By that position if SKY have made few good shots score could've increased and bowlers might've faced pressure. Batting order change or something needs to be done.

In the first match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals I predicted the match to be a win for Delhi Capitals because of its previous loss against Gujarat Titans which could've made them plan and execute things in a better way and win the match. Nothing happened good, and in the second match for some reason I thought CSK to win the match as both the teams are equally strong. In that match Mumbai Indians failed to make good runs, atleast it should've made 180+ runs. The target looked easy and the CSK players were quite confident.

I am hoping to see some good action in today's IPL matches. Since its Sunday, we are going to have two matches being played today.

The first match will be played between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders. The Gujarat Titans have won all two of their previous matches and hence they are likely to be favorites for this match. Anyhow Kolkata Knight Riders has played two and one of their two matches.

In the other match today, Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Punjab Kings. Sunrisers Hyderabad hasn't won any of the matches and hence they desperately need a win tonight. On the other hand, Punjab Kings has won all of its matches and can be considered as a favorite to win today.
Every Saturday and Sunday used to be completely packed day. These days IPL matches have given relaxation as we were able to watch it and have good time than spending the time watching some bollywood and Tollywood programs.

Gujarat stands high winning all the matches played, and I find KKR as the winner in today's match. In the first match toss won't be a big factor. So, whether it is chasing the target or batting first KKR is strong enough with its bowling and batting line-up.

In the second match Hyderabad needs to give some aggressive performance. According to experts it is good to bat first to have higher winning chance. So, winning the toss gets importance. Hyderabad needs to perform well, if not this would turn to be an one sided match.

Why would a team be formed with foreign players? And why is there not a clear rule about that? As the sports body of cricket, ICC should concentrate on the most important thing for cricket, which is the survival of it. But it feels like Icc is not very worried about that. Otherwise, they should have made clear rules about it. There can be some foreign players on the national team. But it cannot be the whole 11 right?

As per the changed eligibility criteria from the ICC, any foreigner residing in another country for more than 6 months, either on a tourist visa or a work visa is eligible to play for that country. And there is no limit on the number of foreigners as well. It is very much possible to form a national team with 11 foreigners and zero natives. That is how teams like UAE and Oman are having teams comprised solely of foreigners. And the funding is linked to the performance. Teams with native players get less funding, because they can't compete against first-class players from India and Pakistan.
This is the criteria and the same is useful for the Arab nations. When we talk about UAE, almost 30% of the population is from India and next stands Pakistan with around 13% whereas the native population is around 12% for which it is possible to see high number of players in the UAE national team coming from both the countries. With Oman same is the scenario, Indian population is around 20% in Oman. With the increasing population in India we were able to see good number of people moving to Arab countries for their jobs as immigrants. This is how the players might've got into the national team. Other countries doesn't have this access, if not those countries might've got more foreign players in their squad.

You are suggesting that teams such as Nepal and Namibia should pack their squads with foreigners from India and Pakistan and that will help them to win matches. But what is the point, if all the teams do that? There will be no diversity in cricket and it will become a game solely played by people of South Asian origin. Already the impact is being felt in countries such as Danmark and Netherlands. Previously these teams used to be comprised of mainly native players. But now the national team is mostly South Asian and as a result native children are rapidly losing their interest in the sport. In the long term, inclusion of foreign players do more harm than good.
Nepal and Namibia having good future in this game, and we can expect better results from Kenya and Zimbabwe as well, even it's not easy, but changes can happen any time in any team with better management and improved domestic setup.
Some teams like Nepal ,Namibia and Zimbabwe are quite promising especially Zimbabwe cricket has improved a lot though they are yet to offer anything significant. But some players in their team are responsible enough to do better in contribution. On the other hand, the Nepal team has progressed quite a bit. Namibia Cricket has secured third place in ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023. But they certainly deserve praise. Hope these three teams can do better in the future.
Still expecting some competitive matches between all teams and you can never expect who'll move forward in ODIs .
Nepal ,Namibia , UAE and USA all of them are equally strong teams but obviously West Indies and sirlanka have experience related to cricket .
Here too u expected results could come. Anyhow it is very important for Sri Lanka and West Indies to play very carefully. Losing and getting not qualified will surely be a big discussion and it takes time for the leading nations to get adopted to such losses. As mentioned experience always play its role, however the time and fate should support the teams. Other than Sri Lanka and Namibia every team is like Asian team, lets see what surprise is awaiting.

CSK V MI

Chennai got a very easy win against Mumbai today. After the first match defeat, Chennai managed to get back on track quite well. And Chennai's overall performance in both matches was superb. However, the main hero of Chennai's victory in today's match was their bowlers. Jadeja in particular bowled brilliantly. He picked up three wickets for just 20 runs in 4 overs. Also, Ajinkya Rahane's performance impressed everyone today. He scored 61 runs off just 27 balls.

Mumbai has lost both their matches. In the first match, they lost against Bengaluru by 8 wickets. They were badly defeated in today's match as well. The condition of Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad is very poor this season. All these three teams will probably be at the bottom of the points table.
Both the matches were big loss. In today's match Chennai Super Kings showed the real ability of the team. The bowling is good, so is the batting. The early wicket of Devon gave a thought that Mumbai Indians would easily take the match under control. The thrashing performance from Gaikwad, Rahane, Dubey and Rayudu is quite good and with this power the team could defeat any team.
948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: April 08, 2023, 11:20:17 PM
Of course, these two teams are the strongest among all that are left. These two are the strongest by far. No other team is actually going to come even close to them. These two, Sri Lanka and West Indies are performing well even against regular cricket-playing nations. Beating some associate relations, and very weak opponents are not going to be very problematic for them.

And it is also true that these two can gain revenue. Sri Lanka can often upset, bigger opponents, and West Indies can always entertain people with big hitting.
No doubt these are strong teams with good experience and quality but now time changing quickly, and we can expect any upset as well with most chances Sri Lanka is hot favorite for the qualification, but I have some doubts about West Indies because their performance is no consistent, and they are having few problems which can give them another shock as we have few months back while they fail to qualify for the T20i world cup due to bad performance, so any result can happen here as well with Ireland, Netherlands, Zimbabwe and USA are teams which are capable of giving their best on their day and in ODI any bad day can ruin your all event we have too many results like these, so even I also believe about these two teams could be in World Cup but keep these teams in mind as well here ICC doing few bad things as reducing teams which is surely not good they need to have 12 or 14 teams for this event.
West Indies team is declining day after day. The most surprising thing is that the country whose players are most popular in T20 cricket fails to qualify for the T20 World Cup. Almost everyone knows that how vulnerable such a situation with their cricket. A few teams have been added in recent times which are more stronger Like USA and UAE. Both the teams have good players and these teams are driven by ্good foreign players. As a result, teams like Sri Lanka or West Indies can also be weak opponents for them.
The team hadn't qualified for the ODI World Cup. The team is to play the qualifier. West Indies is a team that used to play the best as well as the worst cricket in consecutive matches. This makes the performance from the team unpredictable. New teams into the fight to get qualified is very low, because experience have got upper hands.

Next destination for Ireland is Srilanka and looking at their performance against Bangladesh. I think they will give some tough time to Srilanka too. This team has a bright future. I guess in some years they would be unstoppable.
Sri Lanka is far better than Bangladesh in test format. But Ireland is an unpredictable team at this moment. No one knows how Irish players will perform in the upcoming test matches. Some of them have played pretty well against Bangladesh even though it was their first test match. Paul Stirling may join in the second test match which will bring some hope for them.
Sri Lanka is good test cricket team. No doubt in it, and we can't underestimate the potential of the Ireland team. The experience surely matters. Based on what I've understood after the Bangladesh vs Ireland match, the team is good to give tough fight amidst the team against which the Ireland team plays. There is no second second match between Bangladesh and Ireland. The upcoming test match for Ireland is against Sri Lanka.

However we control ourselves, we easily fall to this strategy. My most preferred game is Dice and when we're in loss we try to recover back what we've lost. In such event mind will be out of control and at times the strategy works, but most of the time it once again eats our profit. Martingale strategy never be trusted, users who have a big holding of fund could give a try, but at same time even the high roll on martingale is risky.
951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of holding Bitcoin in time of crisis on: April 07, 2023, 11:59:23 PM

I just want to add that investing your spare money in BTC is always a good deal long term, but short term, it is not always so. By "long term" here I mean 10+ years, and by "short term" I mean something around 2 years. I think, these days, when Bitcoin is still under $30k, and even when it will be under $40k, investing in BTC will be a good deal even short term. I may be wrong, like anyone else. Use your own head. But that's what I think about the current situation we are in.
Actually, 10+ years is really a considerable long term indeed but the question is how many of Bitcoin investors will be able to hold through all the time till their arrival at that stage because 10 years is really a long time to be considered for a speculative investment like bitcoin.

Don't misunderstand my point, what I mean is that if one could possibly reduce the waiting/holding time to 5+ depending on your age and the nature of your invested fuanywaysways.
10+ years is considerably long and we're not sure of the next minute. Holding for such long years and we're not able to enjoy the outcome is really bad. Right choice is to move along with the market. Just fix the years of holding, in between based on the market movement book the profit and find the opportunity to reinvest. This would be better than just holding for 10+ years.
952  Economy / Economics / Re: Is some certain lifestyle a waste of money and time ? on: April 07, 2023, 11:40:26 PM
of course with a high lifestyle it will make life narrower, will make your time wasted and your finances will be drained by a high lifestyle. following the lifestyle will be fatal in terms of financial and social life. people will think negatively with a life that is too much style
There are people who think that lifestyle changes will bring opportunities and bring confidence. I'm not sure of the reality. Making themselves well groomed is enough to be good and keep them stand high among the crowd. Following others lifestyle isn't necessary. Everyone have different expectations and sometimes people easily gets attracted for some reason. Even at that situation we should understand and want to prioritise the needful than the showoff needs.

Charleston WTA 500 quarterfinals today and we're getting ready for some exciting matches:

Kalinskaya v Jabeur Jabeur is determined to get back to top 10, today she'll be unstoppable.
Keys v Kasatkina Kasatkina is a clay player, more chances for her against the American.
Bencic v Alexandrova The two have met recently in Miami and Alexandrova won that one. h2h is tied 3:3 but bookies think Bencic will win. Despite this, I'm betting on the opposite.
Pegula v Badosa  Match of the day in my opinion. Badosa is back in her top form, whereas Pegula has shown hell of a tennis in previous rounds, coming back from 0:3 etc several times. My bet is on Badosa, she's good on clay.

The matches have already started, don't miss the action!  Cool

 
Few of the predictions have won. Kalinskaya v Jabeur - Jabeur have won the match and reached the semifinals as the match ended during the second innings with the walkover of Kalinskaya.

Bencic vs Alexandrova - As the bookies predicted it is direct set win for Bencic 6-3 6-3

Keys vs Kasatkina - The pick have won, but this seems to be fighting in the first set and later Kasatkina won it easily 77-65 4-6 2-6.

Pegula vs Badosa - Match just begun. Lets wait for the result.

Is there anyone else who didn't expect KKR to win yesterday's match with such a huge margin?  Grin To be honest, though I had picked KKR, I was worried they might lose as their batting wasn't so good initially but then Gurbaz and Rinku managed to stabilize the innings and made a good partnership later accompanied by Shardul.
Their bowling was on another level last night. I was both happy and surprised.  Grin
My prediction was KKR, but I never expected this to happen this worse from RCB. Both the team were equally strong, but the quick runs of Shardul Thakur changed the match. If not, KKR would've made something around 160 runs and RCB would've chasen it as they don't experience pressure similar to the chasing of 200+ runs.

In today's match I'm the only one to pick SRH as the winner. I believed the team would make a comeback as they lost the previous match badly. Finally they're the same as the first match.
955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: April 07, 2023, 07:50:30 AM
New to the test format cricket with very little experience and with majority of debut players is really appreciable. The team that is supposed to end the match with an innings loss have made a comeback. The target for Bangladesh is easy reachable and the team is close to the win losing two wickets. Bangladesh players weren't playing test cricket, they're playing ODI format cricket understanding that defensive technique might not be effective.

No doubt, full marks to Ireland for fighting back in second innings. Ireland lost 5 wickets for just 51 runs and it was expected that Ireland will lose by an innings but they gave a target of 137 runs. Bangladesh are chasing and score is 89 for the loss of 2 wickets. Overall it's a satisfactory performance from Ireland, they just need to focus on there batting. In second innings only 3 batsmen scored runs rest all team failed to score runs. Losing quick wickets without scoring runs is weakness of Ireland that is seen in this test.
Watching the first innings it looked like the team had performed well. In the second innings Ireland have played better than the first innings. In any format of cricket the combined team effort is a must and the same ease the chance of winning. Even in this test match Ireland openers failed to contribute, if not this could've been a tough test match for Bangladesh. More the experience, better will be the performance and hope Ireland plays good cricket in its upcoming test format cricket matches.

After certain age we don't know what will be the situation of us and we don't have much of opportunities available to lead our life. It is good to plan perfectly and do the rightful. After certain age whether we're into a job or not, we should get an earning through some source to lead our lives. It needs to be planned when we're able to earn good. Most of the people have suggested to invest on different things, according to me we should prioritise pension schemes from the governments as well as give importance to savings same way we consider investing. What we had invested could decline in value or appreciate in value, for our bad time if it isn't favour of us it is going to be a struggle. By the time the savings will give hands. Some sort of diversified finance management is good for the future.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: April 06, 2023, 10:11:36 PM
This can be termed an incredible comeback by Ireland. None of us had expected a team with 3 test debutants to play so well. Bangladesh again proving that they are the worst test playing team.
Ireland comeback is truly unexpected, but it doesn't mean that a team isn't capable to make a comeback for having some debutant players. The last time they played the test match almost 4 years ago. So, it is reasonable to see some debutant players in the team. Ireland has already taken the lead of 131 runs, the target could be more than 160 runs as they have still two wickets in hand. But I believe Bangladesh will win this match.
When the third day of the match begun Ireland was 46/4 which made everyone think this to be a very bad loss for Ireland. From that point now Ireland have scored 286/8 which have made Ireland to lead by 131 runs. As said the team playing after a long gap and with more debutants won't be able to perform as they plan. As said something around 160 will be the lead and Bangladesh will win the match for sure. If the score reaches 200+ lead Bangladesh might struggle a little and win as the pitch could've changed. Soon after this test match Ireland have got test match against Sri Lanka in which the team might perform even better.

To their credit, Sri Lanka managed to win the first match in the series and therefore the series is tied at 1-1 right now. The first match was very tight (decided in super over), but the second one (which New Zealand won) was completely one-sided. By the way, did any one noticed the new South African import in the New Zealand lineup? Chad Bowes moved to New Zealand from South Africa a few years back and yesterday he made a quickfire 31 for his adopted nation. The current New Zealand squad has another South African as well (Glenn Philips). 
Chad Bowes have earlier captained the U-19 South Africa team. In the ODI series against Sri Lanka he had debut his ODI career for New Zealand and now he have got the opportunity to debut in T20. Glenn Phillips have born in South Africa, but he hadn't played for South Africa. He moved to New Zealand and played for the New Zealand U-19 team. He started playing for New Zealand almost 6 years back and now Chad have got added to the squad.

Ireland is still trailing by 128 runs and they have lost 4 wickets in the second innings. Writing on the wall is clear. Ireland can't remain competitive without their main players such as Paul Stirling, Josh Little and Craig Young. They simply don't have depth in their player pool to perform without these players. The inclusion of Peter Moor hasn't helped things by much. He didn't contributed to anything in this test match so far for Ireland. The only Irish player who showed some fighting spirit was Harry Tector, who made 50 from 92 balls in the first innings.

After 50 in first innings Harry Tector is resisting hard as he has scored 43 runs on 132 balls, the highest runs in second innings. Ireland still trail by 62 runs and if Tector can bat till tea then there are bright chances that Ireland will avoid innings defeat. There are 6 players in Ireland side that are making debut in this test match. In start every team will perform like this, I think Bangladesh were also like this in start of there Test career. Its matter of time as your player get experience of how to play 5 days red ball match.
Even the players who have played test cricket in the past doesn't have good experience as the team have played just 3 test matches. 6 debut players out of 11 stands high against the experienced ones. Atleast few of the players were doing good. Tector and Tucker are doing good, and I believe Ireland will avoid losing the match by an innings.

The bottom isn't missed, for everyone it gives opportunity. We should have the better understanding about the market as well as trust in it. During the starting days of the ongoing year the price is around $16500 and today if is almost doubled. This is how the market moves, maybe it could move downwards. We should have the patience to hold of situations weren't in favour of our prediction. So there is nothing as missing the bottom in bitcoin.
