West Indies is currently performing well in only T20 cricket. Other than that I don’t see them performing well in any other format. That’s why I don’t think they are actually going to go deep into the upcoming ODI World Cup. And we can see the same thing happening when West Indies players are playing in franchise cricket. They are performing well because they play T20 well. But they don’t necessarily play well in other formats.
Where you watch West Indies performing well in T20i because I also watch their last few matches, and they were badly failed in this format as well with losing matches against teams like Ireland and Scotland never been ideal and after losing these matches they were unable to qualify for the T20i world cup in Australia mean currently they are badly down and out of the competition with their all current positions are in test match they are at 8th and then in ODI they are at 9th and in T20i they are currently at 7th with any time they can go down because Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are doing impressive job and have enough quality to bring them down at 9th spot which is actually their best spot for all formats in recent time.
Based on the performance against South Africa in the last T20 series the above user might've said that West Indies is playing really good in T20 cricket. Those matches were really good to watch and the performance is really awesome that none could've expected such a level of performance coming from West Indies team. This shows that the team is able to perform good and have got able players. The bad part, the same team that performed well used to loss very badly in consecutive matches. This used to be real problem with West Indies team staying at the bottom of the table in all formats of cricket.

The systematic way we can say to the current government of El Salvador under the leadership of Nayyib Bukele in promoting Bitcoin as a good breakthrough towards future economic changes on the adoption of Bitcoin.

I also think that what the government of El Salvador is doing regarding Bitcoin is like building an initial foundation, because if the foundation that is being built is totally successful, then Nayyib Bukele can sit smiling happily watching his country's economic progress when there are no more chances to be elected as president .

Bukele's government is undoubtedly made up of lies and false hopes, because it initially played with the drop on the Chivo wallet to bring people closer to Bitcoin and knew that having a poor nation they would.  Now Chivo has become a centralized weapon of power that holds Bitcoin and tracks every transaction, so it will be easier to know how much money enters El Salvador from people who migrated elsewhere but who support their families.  It's a long and winding conversation, but Bukele found a way that is as anonymous-oriented as Bitcoin is to make it transparent to itself.  So when you think Bukele is doing well know that you are wrong.
Based on the opinion polls done by different organisations with the sample around 1500 people on different timeline through this year, it had favoured Nayib Bukele to be the next President. We don't know how the outcome could change in real-time polling. For now his popularity haven't declined. Chivo wallet is developed by the government and for better understanding this could've been suggested by the government. This doesn't mean people couldn't use any other wallets. It depends upon the knowledge the people have over cryptocurrency. The wallet can't be directly connected to the development stagnation or keeping track of users transaction.

Unfortunately, this match ended in a draw with a score of 0-0. even though Al Nassr actually controlled 59% ball possession, 18 total shots, 3 of which were on target, 12 shots off target, 3 shots blocked.

On the other hand, Al Ittihad is playing an away match at Al Wehda's house. The first match has just ended, but the standings are temporary with a score of 0-2 for Al Ittihad.

It was a shocking result for Al Nassr and great achievement for Al Fayha considering that Al Nassr played with a complete lineup, but it seems Ronaldo, Talsica and the others weren't able to score, knowing that the referee deleted two goals, one for each team. In the other match, Al Ittihad managed to earn an important 3 points against Al Wehda. This win will give them great advancement because they widened the gap with Al Nassr to 3 points, which means even if they lose one of the remaining matches, they will still be the winner of the title because they have the advantage in the direct confrontations with Al Nassr. Moreover, winning their next match against Al Shabab would increase their priority to win the title.


The competence that is close for a long have got widened. Al-Nassr unable to make a goal is completely unexpected. It is the second time Al-Nassr is ending the match against Al-Fayha. Four other matches played were won by Al-Nassr. In all means Al-Nassr have tried to make goals, but none have got converted to a goal. In the full time 5 shots were made on the target and the team have made 14 fouls. It seems like they're lucky the team didn't had any penalty shootout. The next match for Al-Nassr is against Al-Hilal which is going to be tough as the track record itself is in favour of Al-Hilal.

What a class performance from Shikhar Dhawan. When the wicket started falling from one side he stood as a strong pillar till the last ball and missed his century by a run. Really unlucky guy, but his performance is classy and sure this will bring him win in today's match. 143 runs isn't a big target, but with the bowling squad Punjab Kings can atleast try their best. At one point it looked like Punjab Kings will end the innings within 90 runs. Considering that situation what Punjab Kings have set as target is really big.

Never watched such a match in my lifetime. During the 17th over match got into the control of Gujarat Titans as Rashid Khan made his hat trick wicket. Yash Dayal destroyed everything with his last over. None could've expected such a  performance from Rinku at the final over. In the last five balls, five sixes required and Rinku Singh did it with style. 29 runs required in the last over and Umesh Yadav made a single and 28 runs left to be scored. Rinku Singh made it and reached 207 at the end of 20 overs.

Bowling from Yash Dayal is really bad, because to any batsmen a bowler should not allow to bat 30 runs in the last five balls. Finally what Venkatesh contributed at the beginning of the match turned useful.

I saw the super rain yesterday from  diamond player maybe the biggest rain I have ever seen, are you guys one of them?  Cheesy
Surely I am not one of them but hoping for the next it is my turn  Grin By the way, if you are Stake.us user you can claim this code easyclaim123
This is a special code that was shared when Eddie live a few hours ago.


Wow lucky users who catched such huge rain!
Just curious, what did this diamond user hit and made so generous rain?

Diamond user might've hit some jackpot. $5000 as rain means atleast he could've won $25k. Here the diamond user is lucky to make big money and the rain receivers were even more lucky. Because receiving such huge tips on random pick won't happen easily. There are users who hadn't got even a single dollar as rain even after spending years on the platform.

In this reality, investing is one way to survive. Inflation will not allow money to be saved simply because its purchasing power is constantly decreasing. However, it is worth considering that investing - due to the lack of stability, turns into a certain kind of lottery.
As said investing is the best way to survive. With time the purchasing power of currencies keeps declining. However when we have some savings this can help at the needful. When it comes to investment, our mind won't accept to make use of it, if the investment is at the loss when we require it. Investment is kind of gamble when we look for immediate returns, so understand the risk and decisions need to be made. Amidst the declining purchase power of currencies it is always good to prioritise saving.
988  Economy / Economics / Re: Without government job we can survive on: April 08, 2023, 11:03:39 PM
Education and experience were the tool with which one can survive. When one have the proper education he/she should think of making his life. Whether it is done through the government or by his/her own will make themselves understand what is loss/win in life. Even now people feel comfortable with the government employment opportunity, because the government can't relieve the employee if something wrong have happened in the economy.

Often we get opportunity to invest, but the human mind always wants better than before. If someone have invested during the start of the year, now he/she could've made big profit. What people does, when the market is in decline, they want it to be down than what it have reached. When price bounces the fear accompanies and they miss investing. With bitcoin investment trust is must and the calculation needs to be made for long term. In this way people easily miss investing at the right market condition.
990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: April 08, 2023, 09:38:48 PM
Nayib Bukele creatively invites you to move to El Salvador, while naming such advantages as "the lowest crime rate in America, no shootings and robberies, excellent coffee, beaches and weather", it seems to me that he exaggerates about the low crime rate, because recently the largest prison in America for 40k prisoners was opened in El Salvador.                                                                                                      

I've also come across this news recently, but establishing a 40,000 maximum capacity prison in El-Savador does not mean there have not been a reduced crime rate in El-Savador, i want to believe nit would have been a long term plan that had been in place when things aren't good enough before the total turnaround we bow had with El-Savador in terms of crime rate, just take it as a long time plan that probably had undergone through a MoU that such should be sited in El-Savador for some reasons that may not be clear to us as the public, with that yet El-Savador is well conducive for a good living now because tourist wouldn't have wanted to visit the country if the crime rate hadn't been dealt with, the Bukele administrative knows what it planned when they make everyone enjoy both fiat and bitcoin currency for payment while including every other bitcoin attracting developments in the country to boost it economy, no more violence as before in El-Savador because bitcoin has help reduced many means liable for citizens to partake in such.
Prison never eliminate crime, and that reminds me about Lucky Dube song "I am a Prisoner", because of the crime rate in South Africa, the government promised not to build schools but only prisons yet the crime rate increasing day and night. What am I trying to say is that prisons never stop crime either it increases crime, because if the El Salvador government does not address poverty, hunger, unemployment there must be crimes in the country. Because many bad boys uses crime to survive and many of them even prefer to stay in the prison than the society because in the prison foods are provided, house are provided and they even make money in the prison than out . Crime is not hard to eliminate in the country if only the government fullfil all his promises then the rate of crime will drastically reduce.
Based on the statistics available on the Crime rate statistics-El Salvador it is clear that the crime rate have increased during the year 2015 and from there it had decreased gradually. Many people using crime as a source of income is happening around, but the number have decreased. In the past when it is discussed about El Salvador people used to talk about the gangster culture and now this has changed. When it comes to El Salvador, everyone talk about tourism and bitcoin which too indicate the growth and the decline in the gangs that involve into criminal activities.

Women into cryptocurrency is growing regularly. What had happened with the Women traders try to learn well and get into it whereas the men just learn out of the experience. This means women understands what were the outcomes of the future and moves accordingly. Men just tries to get adopted to the market situation and tries to understand it.

Women were in each and every sector. Now they've made their way towards the cryptomarket. This is really nice and such progress will surely make more other women be part of the cryptocurrency market. Women are highly emotional, but when they've planned something surely they'll run for it amidst the hurdles. This is how women trader might've won over the men, and this doesn't happen with every women.

@Sithara007 so far it’s clear that USA should easily qualify, and Namibia will be praying that other results go their way otherwise they’ll fail to qualify and here I feel had they beaten UAE then they would be in a safer spot. Also at this stage I too expect UAE to win, but I hope that they don’t play in overconfidence and end up suffering an loss which could harm their chances of qualifying.
The other results didn't went their way, and as a result United Arab Emirates and United States of America have qualified for the next round. Namibia is one of the strongest associate sides, and I feel bad for them that they couldn't qualify. They have a 100% native squad, when compared to both the USA and UAE, whose squads are almost 100% non-citizen. Anyway, for Namibia there is no excuse for losing matches against teams like United States and the United Arab Emirates. They managed to win only 3 out of 5 matches.

I actually really feel bad that two teams, UAE, and USA, both of which are made up of foreign players, are going to be qualified. I really wanted to see teams that are made out of native players being qualified. But that did not happen. And of course, it is always going to be hard to happen.

After all, they are playing in the team as foreign players for a reason. This really should change very fast. Otherwise, cricket is not going to be alive amongst the associate nations, which are actually trying to find talent and not buy them.

This is true, but this is common in cricket. Not the low order teams, almost every team have got foreign players. Asian players were found much on other nations, because it is quite hard for them to get opportunity in their home countries. Another thing these players doesn't move to another country with the plan of playing for the immigrant country. Everyone have moved for their life and career progress, by the time opportunities were well utilised. So, this shouldn't be considered a big issue that the team with native players weren't able to qualify.
993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Females domination in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on: April 07, 2023, 11:03:28 PM
I don’t think bringing up gender inequality in the crypto space helps bitcoin or the cause, it’s an unproductive political argument imo. There are no stats to back anything you’re saying so it’s all based on assumptions right now. I think if you truly want to make a difference, you can start teaching young women in your area about bitcoin and how to utilize the opportunities in the crypto industry.
Agreed, the gender is not gonna make anything in the market. But Women into cryptocurrency makes it a better place, because women won't easily get into technology based industry. Things have changed compared to the past and women's participation makes the market more trusted. This is nothing offensive, I personally believe that women research much before getting into something. So, women finding bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to be good is real growth.

As suggested it is good to educate women in our locality to make the real difference. It used to be little difficult, but once they get interested they explore more and make themselves highly knowledgeable in that sector.
994  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you consider yourself as a risk taker if you buy bitcoin? on: April 07, 2023, 10:56:50 PM
Every investment have got risk associated with it. This is not the factor that is connected with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies investment. When it comes to bitcoin and cryptocurrency investment the risk used to be little higher than the traditional investments. This is all because of the high volatility. Over time people will understand well about the volatility and enjoy it than fearing about it. To invest into bitcoin doesn't make one a risk taker, but a person who invest into bitcoin to enjoy profit in limited time period is a risk taker. When we invest with the plan to hold for long term we're assured with profit, but when the time period is limited we don't know what will be the scenario of the market. It might be at the peak or it drops down causing loss.
995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: April 07, 2023, 06:12:32 AM
Ireland did a great job in coming back into the game as a new test-playing team. A few more games and this team will be giving serious challenges to every big test playing team. They are not short of talents as proven in this game. All they need now is more games to get accustomed to this format and gain experience.  
As a new Test playing team, Ireland's performance in Mirpur, Bangladesh deserves praise. Most of their cricketers do not have Test playing experience but the performance they showed against Bangladesh as a new team proves their worth. If they can maintain this performance in the near future, I think they will do well against the big Test playing teams. However, Bangladesh need only 70 more runs to clinch victory. Of course, Bangladesh will want to win before the lunch break.
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.

For now we can't be sure of the host. Among the three (Peru, Argentina and Qatar) now Argentina have submitted its bid to conduct the U-20 World Cup. Mostly Qatar will win the bid, and I predict it based on the country being the host of the last FIFA World Cup. Indonesia have got a good opportunity and it have missed it due to the political conflicts. It is really a big chance being missed and the sufferers will be the young football aspirants of the nation. Now FIFA have frozen funds for Indonesia Football association. It is nice that almost every continent have got similar number of countries participating. I'm not sure of the winning team, mostly it goes to an European country or to a South American country.
997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 06, 2023, 11:06:06 PM
You are absolutely right Kolkata Knight Riders runs were very low in the first stage of the game. Wickets fell soon after and KRR's run rate was at an all-time low. When I was watching the game I thought KRR will not win today's match with the way KRR is losing wickets in the match. But in the next period very good batting performance was excellent and they scored 204 runs in a short period of time. and later Royal Challengers Bangalore batting performance did not do much for the team. Due to which they lost the match by losing all their wickets and lost the entire wicket for 123 runs in balls from 17.4 overs. Kolkata Knight Riders won by 81 runs.


What a poor show by Royal Challengers Bangalore and they were all out in only 123 runs. None of the players could make any considerable score and it seems that they were too much under pressure after they conceded 204 runs in the first innings. Varun Chakravarthy took 4 wickets but he could not become the man of the match.  Shardul Thakur showed even better performance who socred quick 68 runs and later took one wicket.
The 200+ runs is a big pressure. If the score was around 180-190 runs surely RCB would've performed better. The small difference in the target score gives added pressure. As said this pressure is being felt on RCB from the very beginning of the match. Shardul Thakur is the match turner with his bat. A quick 68 at the right time isn't expected, but those runs were the winning runs. For RCB none have scored considerable runs, same is with KKR as everyone scored single figure run except few players scoring 57 runs, 46 runs and 68 runs made the team reach the 204 runs. The wicket taken by Shardul Thakur is an important wicket of Michael Bracewell. He was scoring slowly when wickets were falling at the other side. A big day for KKR and Shardul.

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.

Lorcan Tucker century and Harry Tector fifty is the reason Ireland came back strong in second innings. Andy McBrine is still not out on 71 runs and he can take the lead to 175 or above. Chances of Ireland to win this game is still low but still nothing can be said as we already saw Irish strong come back in second innings. Still 2 wickets left and we have 2 days play left. With this performance Ireland chances of getting more test matches in coming days is bright now.
First four wickets (McCollum-0, Commins-1, Balbirnie-3, Campher-1) lost their wickets for single digit runs. They should've played better, because the opening is much important. Better the opening, upcoming players will have more confidence and perform well. If not the middle order need to be more responsible and take the risk. Taijul Islam and Shakib Al Hasan took the four wickets and it looked like they've taken the match under control. The performance from Tector and Tucker have helped them avoid the innings loss and give better competence to the Bangladesh team. The match predicted to end by the third day have moved to fourth day which itself a big success for the Ireland team.
999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 06, 2023, 10:38:31 PM
No one can tell how honest and transparent they are.
But the truth is that I don't expect them to be 100% honest or transparent because it's gambling.
The casinos make their decisions and award bonuses  to whom they want to.
Bonuses aside the welcome bonuses, I feel are mainly given to the core gamblers who are part of a loyalty scheme, those who the casino sees to be spending more money and time on casino games not just a random gamblers.
I think that casinos are honest and transparent but to some extents.
Gambling is a business and for that reason they'll look for the growth as well as better profit with time. Transparency adds more trust to the platform, but we can't expect things to be cent percent perfect. When we talk about the bonuses and other form of lucky draws mostly the platforms will be in favour of the Whale gamblers who are more important than the random gamblers who wager few thousand dollars to the maximum.

In an wagering contest I was able to see a person winning a million dollar bonus sharing just with two tickets while the rest were with thousands of tickets. Such incidents make people have good trust over the platform and believe in the system. There is need of honesty and transparency to stay strong in the high competence industry as we were able to see more casinos getting into existence regularly.
1000  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do new online casinos struggle? on: April 06, 2023, 10:25:01 PM
New casinos struggle because of their lack of branding, customer and players.  They also struggle because of the competition and the lack of reputation.  In order to survive the market, I think new casinos should make a good investment on promotions and marketing.  They must put a reasonable funds to it but they don't need to put too much because it may put more stress on their operational activity's funds.  They should wisely plan their budget in order to have their operation goes smoothly. 

Building reputation takes time so they need to plan their budget carefully.

The casinos will always have a lot of competition, those who are starting out also have hard times because it is obvious that many want to enter to play and win, and the casinos have to have a lot of reaction and ability to appease those who win, in case it is not when the problems begin, and everything originates with the withdrawals and that is something that causes a lot of annoyance for everyone, and this is something that when it starts like this gives a bad feeling because it is not normal for a casino to start and not pay.
The competence is high, nowadays casino business have turned to be a big capital business. In the past even with single game casinos gets launched and slowly increase the games and make changes to the platform. Nowadays everything needs to be added at the beginning, if not people doesn't consider it and there won't be much traffic. In some casinos the edge wouldn't be got back perfectly which lets the casino go bankrupt in short time period. In recent years I came across a gambling platform (doesn't remember the name) which ran its promotion program in our forum and closed the business within two months going bankrupt.
