Few media outlets have again started saying that the third wave will start from July itself, not sure what will happen next but it seems the government has increased the vaccination procedure. Still not the right time to host any kind of tournaments in India.
It is difficult to predict when another wave would come but some countries where people are taking it lightly will be affected and India is a huge country and i am not familiar with the vaccine production in India and whether it is possible to vaccinate every citizen, it will take years to vaccinate everyone and considering the population around 280 billion of vaccine shots is required to vaccinate everyone and it is going to take a long time.

~
The economy will be completely destroyed if the lockdown measures remain in place. In India, the domestic 4-day championship (Ranji Trophy) was last conducted in 2019. The domestic players have seen their salaries declining by anywhere from 60% to 80%. But then, after so many deaths, it will be unwise to restart the tournaments. The only solution is vaccination. But India has completely vaccinated only 4.3% of its population (compared to 48% for the United Kingdom). And for reaching herd immunity, you need to completely vaccinate at least 75%. Until that figure is reached, I don't want India to host any major cricket tournaments.
The economy is affected globally and how every government is going to tackle these situation is going to be important, in the US the protest of the people forced them to open everything up but in Europe they are taking a calculated approach so that we do not want to go to a position where everything goes out of control once again and hospitals struggling to take care of everyone.

There is change of things in the Heavy Weight division than expected, i thought Derrick Lewis will be facing Francis Ngannou for the belt but now news is coming out about an interim UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane and it is expected to take place at UFC 265.
I wonder what happened to Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis match up and whether we will be seeing the debut of Jon Jones fighting for the Heavyweight title this year.
983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terms and condition a must read before signing up any online gambling site on: June 28, 2021, 11:14:47 PM
Gambling is gradually becoming an occupation mostly now where vertically everything is done digitally and many get their major source of income gambling so it wouldn't be wise if after accumulating series of progressive winnings you find it difficult to withdraw from such sites.
Who in the right sense will take gambling as a major source of income, i would say the opposite until you have a magical recipe that no one knows considering there are a few big time players who live solely on gambling but not everyone has that kind of skill level to make a living with gambling.

I do agree with the part that you need to read all the terms and conditions before registered to a site and then the major aspect is whether the site can be trusted and whether they have any issues in the past.

Stake is a great site and they do not enforce KYC but there are a few sites that enforced KYC after winning big and you need to check everything if you are not willing to provide your identity to a gambling site.

Corrupt BCCI as usual. I would like to see a 5 match series between India and NZ too after their recent encounters. Majority of the BCCI members need to be replaced with better people in my opinion.
Why do you think that a cricket board is corrupted, do they charge money to select the players, i really cannot understand these accusations and there should be an audit that is taking place and if they are really corrupted we should have heard by now because you cannot hide everything for a long period of time.


4 years? Are you serious? 2 years itself is a long time and the effect was pretty visible in the final between India and NZ which didn't meet the hype. ICC made the right decision in this context.
The reason for not meeting the hype was the weather delays and that killed the entertainment factor till the last day and everyone was expecting a draw and the last day was really interesting, may be the expectation that the match would go into a draw might have killed the hype but it lived up because we saw a winner and New Zealand deserved the cup.

@7788bitcoin I have been trying to decode it unsuccessfully how these player’s win by wagering such small bets, and I tried wagering very small bets on dice manually and automatically, and then tried same on slots but both times it didn’t work, but I yet haven’t given up and I would encourage you to continue tinkering cause who knows you may just win it big.
I burned more than a dozen ETH, BCH and LTC trying out new games with small bets hoping i would win big when the market was down and i was not lucky enough to get that big win even though i had winning days but not the big ones and now i accepted my fate and once the sportsbook is launched i am happy wagging bets and whenever there is an itch i use Doge and TRX and i am still waiting for my lucky day Cheesy.

And regarding the COVID situation, I agree with you. It may take a few months to get the situation here under control. Even now, the daily death toll is in excess of 1,000.
I have seen reports that there are new variants of the virus in India called the Delta Plus variant and so is the reason many countries have restricted travelers from India and another Lambda variant is identified in England, so this is here to stay for more years to come and all we need to do is to find a solution to conduct the matches in a controlled situation .
987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 28, 2021, 07:56:17 PM
Loma totally outclassed Nakatani. Before that fight, I did not even know who Nakanati was, and it turned out he has 20-1 record. Where did he get all that 20 wins, if he was outclassed so much by Lomachenko?
You should look at all the fights Lomachenko had in his career and he always outclass his opponents and many consider him as the greatest boxer of all time irrespective of weight divisions and in his last fight he was slow against Lopez and now he had the surgery and is back in form and that is what is displayed for everyone to see.

P.S. I agree to what people say - it is early for a rematch against Lopez. And Lopez probably must fight agaist obligatory contender first. 
All the boxing fans wants to see that rematch and it will be a huge one without a doubt.

That's right, Manny will face the lawsuit after, and who knows it will be settled after. It should not be a problem as even if that $3 million will be demanded, Manny would be able to pay that amount, so in his coming fight, his focus is still 100%.
Another lawsuit and we might see another fight that is planned in doubt, what is with these lawsuit that everyone is jumping into, they fight did not take place and the delay may be due to the pandemic situation and now some of them are going to court so that they want to honor that agreement and $3 million is a huge amount and i do not think Manny will be paying such a huge amount to carry on with this fight.

Spain probably scored the most beautiful auto-goal in this championship! Grin Thanks for letting me bet on their win with odds of 3.1! Grin
True, the statistics of personal meetings between Croatia and Spain are not in favor of Spain, but still I think that today Spain will win!
That is a good guess as i did not expect Croatia to score a goal and the tradition of own goals in this Euro cup keeps coming with another own goal and with the way the Croatian defense is struggling inside the box i am expecting more goals in the second half and i will be surprised if Croatia scores a goal of their own unless there is another terrible mess up like they did with the first goal.

You thoughts guys, will Conor manage to win this fight or he has lost his left hand magic ?
The magic left hand of Conor McGregor will work against 145 pound division fighters and once he moved up he did not find the same success against elite fighters and if he looses this fight he can venture into other avenue like boxing or he will be forced to move down to 145 pound once again and i doubt he will be willing to cut that much weight when he made a billion dollars.

Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson is an interesting fight, Karate against ground specialist.

Tai Tuivasa and Greg Hardy depends who can land the first punch.

Sean O'Malley fight depends upon how he manages his fitness.
991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: June 27, 2021, 11:54:47 PM
I had totally wrong predictions for this UFC event, Gane was much better than Volkov and he fully deserved to win.
I just placed two bets for this event which was Ciryl Gane and Tim Means and both won and i was not confident about the rest of the fight card.

He is probably one of the fastest heavyweight fighters and he can challenge other top fighters soon with his prefect 9-0 record, and he even called out Francis Ngannou for title fight.
Derrick Lewis will probably fight Ngannou next, but maybe Gane can fight with Stipe Miocic.
The next title fight will be Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis and that is almost settled and then the winner will face Jon Jones and that is what Dana White said in one of the press conference and in the mean time Ciryl Gane and Stipe Miocic can battle it out.

It's a shame to see c.ronaldo bow out of the tournament I the first knockout round, there weren't able to defend there previously won euro, and thunder could not strike twice as they had won the competition the last time from becoming the best losers in there group stage the last time.
Cristiano Ronaldo started well in the tournament and he was instrumental for Portugal to reach this stage and he was not able to score a goal today and they lost the match. You cannot single handedly win matches all the time and i wish he won a second Euro cup but that is not going to happen.

Congratulations to Belgium, I think they are one of those favorite right now to lift the tournament, because bits been rocky for the likes of the usual favorite like France, Germany and even Spain, my favourite at the moment are Belgium and Portugal.
My favorite to win the Euro cup this year is Germany and the dark horse is France.
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 27, 2021, 09:54:08 PM
Vasiliy Lomachenko displayed a masterclass for all the fight fans to see and it was magnificent performance against Masayoshi Nakatani and every move he made was exceptional and was able to finish him in the later rounds and i would love to see the rematch now with Teófimo López and that would be a great fight and i doubt whether Teófimo López will be willing to do a rematch.
Yes that was a true master class and i was watching multiple fights as there was another big fight in boxing and then there was an UFC event but i watched the entire fight and i was having doubts how Lomachenko will look after the surgery but he produced a brilliant performance and now i expect him to get the rematch against Lopez.

He said he is willing in one of his interviews, let's hope he will not change his mind though. We've seen an old Loma here, a well-conditioned Loma that is ready to dominate his opponent, he was not in a rush, he took it slowly but surely until his opponent's body was not able to handle the attack anymore.
If Lopez is willing to give the rematch then that would be a big PPV event as everyone was expecting Lomachenko to win and when Lopez was able to win everyone was surprised and now the rematch will be much bigger than the first fight and it is good to see entertaining fights in boxing.

Asides the staking with 32 Eth, you will also need to stay regularly online, so they provide opportunities to invest through some verified companies that will make the 32ETH and stay online as well. Have never read any where the mode of reward for the stake, how much should I expect after a period?
Right now the Annual percentage rate is around 6.5% and it will change according to the increase in the number of validators and right now there are around 177,338 validators and 5,841,030 Ethereum locked up. The most challenging part is the transformation from POW to POS and the chances for network messing up completely is possible and lets see how long they will take for the complete migration.

If you are in the cryptocurrency market for a long time you will understand that the market was largely depend upon global news and anything that aided the market rallied the market and whenever there is a negative news the market always goes down and it is like this for years and now we are seeing people like Musk making noises with his tweets and it will die off eventually if he keeps on barking the same thing for a long time.
996  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is bitcoin plunging? What is the reason for this? on: June 27, 2021, 07:39:37 PM
Never use the word end, else people will find you so ignorant and do not know what you are posting, you can have doubts on the market but thinking it's the end of Bitcoin is such a big joke, it's already ten years and there are thousands of predictions that failed that Bitcoin will die, get the fact first before making remarks about the market condition.
The problem is that English might not be their first language and they term them as the end of bull run as end of bitcoin and you can find many threads and responses like that in the forum and that is what i think of these kind of responses.

When it comes to the market situation, there are several reasons why we are seeing price correction often, first the market rallied to $63k in a short period of time and it did not sustain that valuation for long and now we are struggling to cross $40k for the past several weeks and i believe we will be trading in a range for a while before we break the resistance and for that you need to have patience.
997  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks to allow customers the option of hodling, selling and buying bitcoin on: June 27, 2021, 04:18:57 PM
The possibilities of higher adoption is coming faster than we expect. I believe the banking sector is beginning high level consideration of having bitcoin as a financial too in their platforms and this is going to create more growth in demand for bitcoin. Obviously the price too will begin to soar.
One thing that can be certain when the banking sector starts these business is the trust level we can have when they conduct business and you do not need to have sleepless night about the wallet hack and even if that happens it will be insured and since the cryptocurrency market has witnessed many scams and hacks and these centralized banking wallet will help people who are lazing and looking for centralized wallet.
998  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to 13k. FORECAST on: June 27, 2021, 01:58:13 PM
I wouldn't be shocked, quite the opposite because I have enough money in my bag to buy a lot of bitcoins when the institutional investors and whales try to screw over the retail investors. You just have to know their game and try your best to play in their game and you will be able to profit if you are lucky.
The institutional investors and the pandemic has messed the plans of many and you are not alone in this, i did not expect the market to rally this fast after the halving but the institutional investors changed that concept and we have seen huge rallies right after the halving and that too valuations we expected at a later time and the funny aspect is that everyone is crying when the market is consolidating above $30k as support Grin .
999  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will China's crackdown on Bitcoin cause Bitcoin to become worthless? on: June 27, 2021, 04:28:24 AM
I do not think they know the answer to that question, bitcoin is double-edged sword for them, on one hand they look at bitcoin and they see in it another weapon they can use to try to hinder the US dollar, and when they look at it in this away they may like to support bitcoin, however they see that bitcoin can be used by their citizens to achieve a level of freedom they do not have and when they look at it from this perspective then they do not want to encourage the adoption of bitcoin.
It looks funny to see how a government is handling the hurdle, the government do not want to give the freedom to their citizens even though Bitcoin will help them overcome the restrictions imposed by other countries according to you and they are known to control their citizens from which sites they visit to which media they watch and they need to continue that because they might not want their citizens to achieve financial freedom.

We challenge you to get even bigger wins @FossyGFX Wink
I wish i had a big win like that because i am trying for years to win big and with amounts like these and i am yet to be lucky, i need to explore more games and hopefully win big. I had some big wins in your sister site but not in Stake and that too years ago. Cry

Found it, thanks! Hopefully they repeat the promotion for tomorrow (Belgium vs Portugal). Always nice to have some extra insurance!
Hopefully that offer continues because today Italy and Austria went to extra time which i did not expect and insurance would be great in the upcoming matches Grin .
