Every investment is subject to risk. Bitcoin appreciates in value, which is the belief. However the market isn't the same as traditional market where it is possible to make closer prediction. With bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies we were able to experience wild changes in no time. As stated rather than investing on car and other luxury things to make life comfortable it is good to invest on bitcoin and with the profit invest on car, properties etc.

In my locality primary focus of people is to have an own house. Later slowly they buy a car and have some jewels which helps in emergency. Now only slowly awareness given and the same will result in more people getting interested into investment over savings.

United Arab Emirates vs United States of America
Asif Khan's presence at the crease is undoubtedly crucial for UAE to post respectable totals. With two batsmen already hitting half centuries Khan's experience and current form could prove to be the difference between scores of 260 and 300. The USA bowling attack will also target Khan's wicket to restrict UAE to a low total. It will be interesting to see how Khan plays under pressure and if he can take UAE to a competitive total. UAE's lower order batsmen will also need to step up and contribute to the team total. They will have to bat wisely and rotate the strike to support Khan and ensure that UAE reach a challenging total.
Between these two teams, United Arab Emirates and United States of America, I cannot predict which team will win today. United Arab Emirates batted first and gave a target of 279 runs in 50 overs. United States took the field to bat. Scored 118 runs in 22.4 overs.  United States batsman Saiteja Mukkamalla scored 43 runs off 44 balls. Sushant Modani was dismissed with 39 runs off 49 balls.

USA collected 167 runs losing only 2 wickets. USA's top order batsmen are batting very well. USA need 113 runs to win in 18 overs. About 6 runs needed per over to win. As the USA lost only two wickets, the match still seemed to be completely in the USA's control. A good performance from the bowlers is definitely needed if UAE wants to win the match. There is no chance of UAE winning this match if USA is not able to pick up some wickets quickly.
On the other hand, Namibia won easily against Jersey. Jersey set a target of 214 runs. Today, Namibia reached the target of victory in just 32.1 overs.
USA is in good position after 36 overs, scoring 188 runs losing the openers wickets. 92 runs from 84 balls will be easily reached by USA. The player who is taking USA towards the win, Saiteja Mukkamalla have scored 69* runs and he's just 18 years of age. The match between USA and UAE can be considered equally, because both the teams were of players with India and Pakistan origin than the natives.

Tsitsipas has been not in his lucky day...sorry for your bet loose Trofo Sad

Meanwhile Sinner it seems is going to win easy against Ruusuvuori.
Well, there is a rain delay in this match but I don't think there is nothing much to do at this point for the finnish player.

Damn thats a bummer Trofo. I think at this stage Tsitsipas has let us down on matches
he "should" have won. I bet on him earlier in the tournament but in the later stages I limit
betting on him, I've just been let down too many times.

Sinner was too strong for Ruusuvuori, I did a bet on him to win the first set. I watched it
up until the rain interrupted play.
Sinner made it an easy winning 6-3 6-1. Ruusuvuori lost to Zverv in the Indian Wells and he fought till the end of the third set. This time he wasn't able to perform. Jannir got into the semifinals and all the players predicted to reach the semifinals will be performing better in the past. Tsitsipas losing the match in direct sets is completely unexpected, and remaining quarter finals scheduled for the day gives easy win as odds were completely in favour of Medvedev, Alcaraz and khachanov.

India will work hard to gain experience in the run-up to the World Cup. No team wants to lose to another team so here India will forget their past performance and now they will adopt a new strategy to compete with other teams. There is no doubt that India will enter the field with a lot of experience in terms of bowling and batting. However, their performance at the start of the World Cup will continue to shock other teams. Of course, India's performance will improve and deteriorate only when competing in the World Cup with teams from outside the world.


The problem that India is now facing is unreliable batting performance. In the bilateral series against Australia, there were a few class batters who were struggling to play spin bowling. I have never seen an Indian batter facing such an issue. Another problem was the Indian batting order. I am also confident that things will be different with the Indian team after the IPL.
I don't think so, because the pattern with ODI format and T20 were entirely different. Indian team at times go completely dependent over specific players. In few matches the tail order performed well and brought win the Indian team. This doesn't happen all the time, and IPL is termed to be the reason for India losing the T20 World Cup. Because everyone were well known about the bowling techniques followed by the Indian bowlers and the opponents managed well to score.
985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any casino site offer Ludo game? on: March 29, 2023, 10:51:33 PM
I love to play Ludo game with my friend in this case i use popular Ludo game (Ludo king) Here we can play ludo together with another friend through an invitation code and also invite social friends to play ludo through social media accounts connected. I have not found such ludo game in casino sites.  Can anyone find a casino site where i can play ludo but bet with bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies? Then it will be more fun for me.  I think it's more fun than other gambling games because it has to be played with your critical  Brain.
^To be honest, I just now heard about this kind of game and based on my short research, this game is very popular in India and they usually used fiat than cryptocurrency. Even though there are too many gambling casinos here I did not hear about this game and I cannot give an idea of how to play this game. The reason probably why this game did not include by many game developers is because of its popularity which is many gamblers don't know about this game.
This is what I have found, it is on gamesdapp, https://www.gamesd.app/blockchain-ludo-game-development
I'm really surprised to know that good number of users haven't heard about Ludo game. In my country it is something a common game which is being played by the kids to the old-age. Almost every fiat based gambling platforms in my country have got Ludo game. Probably not because of the lack of popularity, but the edge casino makes is low as the game is played between players and takes more time.

It is because of this that not only we need to have limits when we are losing but also when we are winning, after all it is understandable that when you are having a good session you do not want to quit as you think about all the money you have lost and that you want to recover, but as we know luck is impossible to control, so at some point your luck will stop and then you will begin to lose, and when that happens you could get desperate and try to get back at least the money you were earning, and as we know once you reach that point most likely your session will not end well.

This type of wrong decision we take on gambling which cause possible addiction occur only on early days of our gambling career since most of the time we think that its easy to earn money here and also we can't stop easily when we are having a good session since we want more. But soon we realize all of this and it will be corrected over the time we play then for sure after those bad or good experiences we can develop our own strategies upon playing.
When we're into the beginning days of gambling we have more dreams of turning rich through gambling and when we loss big for the first time we weren't able to accept it. This settles down with time on realising how hard to win big through gambling, same gives the realisation on the need of luck. With time experience gives better learning and the same mostly keeps us in good control.
987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The future of CBDC in gambling. on: March 29, 2023, 09:36:51 PM
Governments doesn't really force CBDC to be adopted by any service platforms, they use this as a tool to tackle the crypto currency when people say fiat system is old so government claims their current CBDC is same as blockchain and with most people unaware of what is decentralised money will go after CBDC. However about the casinos there won't be much affect for Bitcoin or other cryptos due to the inclusion of CBDC cause it's going to affect the fiat based users more in my opinion.
We hope so but cannot know what the government wants in the future. If they want CBDC to be adopted by any service platform, they can do it easily because they can force it on any service owner. However, the government really doesn't like crypto that can protect the anonymity of its users so maybe in the future, the government will still ask for services to add CBDC to its system. Hopefully, it doesn't affect bitcoin and other cryptos, but we just have to be more careful. Perhaps, using CBDC provides convenience for ordinary users but not crypto users.
None is gonna affected by the CBDC inclusion, because people who have used cryptocurrency for gambling will never move to fiat or something else further. As stated fiat users could find CBDC to be something more advanced and use it. CBDC is nothing better than the digital format of fiat. It favours the government providing each and every transaction, so this is going to be a choice for fiat users and not the cryptocurrency users.

~snip~

Well, it’s still possible to run a decentralized gambling platform but the problem is if it will be sustainable in the long run. Operators might be profiting at first only but later on, gamblers will start looking centralized casinos like what we mostly have today in the market, which means that could be a loss for decentralized casinos. The reason why most of the casinos today still prefer to be centralized than decentralized, because accept it or not, gamblers want to gamble more safely and secured, which I think decentralized casinos have less to offer when it comes to that.
The difference between the centralized gambling platform and the decentralised one is the support provided. Another thing is the different operators having different games. In the past there were decentralised platforms and they don't have much of casino games, what we can see in common is Dice. Apart, the platforms will be much focused on sports betting. So that it is possible to lower the risks as well as can function without flaws.

The match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka is getting delayed by rain. This is one of the two remaining matches for Sri Lanka in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. If both these matches gets washed out, they will end up with 87 points (one point behind West Indies) and therefore they may need to play the qualifier tournament for the 2023 ODI World Cup. South Africa will have two matches against Netherlands this week, and if they win those matches then they are through (irrespective of the outcome from NZ vs SL matches).
Now the match is officially called off without a ball being bowled. Sri Lanka needs to play the qualifier in Zimbabwe for the World Cup 2023. One point given to each team and the point of Sri Lanka have reached 88 points. It looks like big difference between the points of Sri Lanka and West Indies.

Ronaldo has a name, there is absolutely no doubt about that but just because he has a name doesn't mean that he is a great player anymore. I mean just 5 years ago he was one of the best players in the world, and he wasn't just some young star neither 5 years ago, he was a 33 year old guy, some people retire at that age, certainly ones that do not take care of their body, and this guy was the best player in the world.

As of now, I think he has a name and still pretty great for Saudi league but that's it, dude is not as good as his name is, he doesn't worth this much money based on his talents alone, he worths it because he made a huge name for himself in all of footballs history.
The popularity for his name came through his performance. If he had gone down in performance over the years surely his addition to the league could've never been this popular. Even at his age, he's at his best. More young players are emerging, but he keeps doing things that weren't able to be done by the young football players. When popular players gets added the league gets more popularity. Everything is tied to business and for that reason such a big amount is being spend on him. The league was founded during the year 1976, but this season is much known to the people.

Even in subcontinent people love cricket up yo the level of madness but sadly from the five test playing nations we have just one team and board with enough sources and money to have ideal setup for all formats and pool of players which can give them top quality performance and it's India with all others are having different issues like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are having not regional system and good facilities for shining technique and improve quality with Pakistan is also unpredictable not only in game with their system is mostly had too much interference from government, so they are not able to have any ideal domestic setup which helps them for having better results Afghanistan is also suffering and not able to play games at home even now their status is also under threat due to Taliban regime.

Good things could happen for the better future of this game but internal issues are also creating feud and ACC is also not powerful to settle things for better future of cricket in this region which is surely one of the worst thing for cricket for sure.

The only way cricket is going to be saved is if ICC takes matters into their own hands. If they keep the other people and clubs, especially the big four to run things, it is not going to be very good for the future of cricket.

But at the same time, I don't see ICC taking matters into their own hand. After all, if they try to do that, India is going to cause some problems. And of course, we know that India is the one generating the most amount of money for the ICC.

Let India hold the control, but it also need to support the development of cricket and bring more teams. For now we can't blame on this, because several leagues of qualifiers were happening around and one by one teams are getting the recognition. When it comes to infrastructure and technology requirements, if is the sole responsibility of ICC to support the countries that weren't able to do things as the financial source isn't good.

ICC being controlled by few cricket board, but they aren't that bad as a dictator. There'll be considerations and partiality which is based on the influence they've got over the board. Anyhow it takes time for the rest of the boards to unite and stand against the power.
992  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Public Perspective towards Bitcoin on: March 27, 2023, 10:25:17 PM
It takes time for people to have the better understanding about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It is well known fact that negative news spread faster than the real news happening around. In such a way bitcoin isn't an exception. The failure of bitcoin takes place from the users who have missed profiting because of their own mistakes. Once after the loss, they start spreading negative things and they never accept their fault.

In my country we've got separate category as poverty line. Even from that politicians does corruption. Based on the category of poverty line, anyone who is able to spend 0.4$ in urban area and 0.3285$ per day in the rural areas were considered as poverty. Even with such a calculation my country stands at the 107th position among the entire countries on Global Hunger Index. Government along with the people should've have better plans and execution to eradicate poverty which won't happen overnight.

-snip-
What are your thoughts about this? Personally, I usually try to buy with stablecoins if I have some, it just feels more natural for me. I don't want to touch my BTC while the market is still bad.
For me, as long as I still have stablecoins or fiat currency, I will not plan to spend bitcoins because if the bitcoin price goes up, of course we will regret spending bitcoins, let alone spend it when the price is down, currently the bitcoin price is at the level of $ 27,124k , so if for example you want to make a payment of $ 100 using bitcoin then we will spend BTC0.0037 imagine when the price of bitcoin rises x2 means we have missed the opportunity to get $ 100 also from the total amount of bitcoin we spend.
This is how most of the people think and end up without spending. More we spend more will be the circulation of bitcoin and the real-time usage will be high all around. Only through this it is possible to make the dream for which Satoshi innovated bitcoin. Everything have got certain time period for transition. It took years for bitcoin to have its increased usage on investment and real-time needs. Earlier it was much used on dark web and gambling. Along with the transition of bitcoin, people will also understand the need and start spending

There is no doubt that UAE batted very well. But only two players batted well. With the help of Muhammad Washeem and Afzal Khan's excellent innings, UAE managed to collect 260 runs. But Papua New Guinea's batting surprised me. I knew this team's batting line-up was weak. But today they are playing very well. PNG now need 25 runs off 18 balls to win. PNG is unlikely to win. Because they lost 8 wickets. No experienced batsman at the crease now. But despite losing this match I would say PNG played well. The team may become more experienced in the future.
For UAE, Muhammad Waseem stood strong on one side when wickets continued to fall from the other side scoring single digit runs. Finally Afzal Khan gave support and they started to score good reaching the score of 260 runs in 50 overs. Highest contribution came from Muhammad Waseem 96(106 balls) and Afzal Khan 94*(94 balls). If the two have failed then the score might be less than 150 runs which could've been a easy target for Papua New Guinea. For PNG Doriga and Ura contributed good, but the same didn't bring them win as the middle order completely failed to perform.
996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 27, 2023, 06:50:33 PM

Pakistan to save themselves from losing this match has to take wickets quickly and don't let them build any partnership  because Afghanistan has really talented and experienced batsman who can chase this target easily .
Muhammad Nabi , Ibrahim Zadran  and many more.
Pakistan have played well and scored 182 runs which is a good target and Afghanistan won't reach the target. Pakistan made a good comeback, but it is too late. Afghanistan have scored 71/5 in 11 overs and need another 111 runs which isn't possible from Afghanistan. Anyhow rhe series is already won by Afghanistan. This series will be a big learning for Pakistan to make it better in the upcoming matches.

Bitcoin as the mainstream payment method could take place, and rhe same needs lots of support. Not only from the government, but from the consumer side. People haven't prepared to consider bitcoin as a mainstream payment method than investment. So, when people start using bitcoin little by little we were able to gain support, without that this is going to be completely an impossible task.
998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 26, 2023, 11:51:26 PM
500 runs in a T20 match, i think this is the first match we see this record breaking of highest total runs in both innings. Quinton de Kock and Hendricks took the game away from the West Indies. They made almost 150 runs in the first 10 overs and made the platform from which the rest of the team can take them to victory.

What a match it was. Damn it bro!
517 Runs is a single T20I match. The Highest Run chase Win for team South Africa. Guys, be honest here. When West Indies Scored 258 Runs in the first innings, Who thought South Africa would chase it successfully? This match registered a couple of new records. The previous most run chase was 245/5 - Australia vs. New Zealand, Auckland, 2018. The highest match aggregates in Men’s T20s was 515 - Quetta Gladiators vs. Multan Sultans, Rawalpindi, 2023. Now, this match takes both places. People who placed bets for WI after the first innings got puzzled.



We can't compare the franchise cricket with the international cricket. This is true performance, because the players are from a particular nation and they've got the right coordination and communication than franchise cricket. Just see what is happening with Pakistan. Very bad performance from Pakistan, but they play good in PSL.

All of the sudden I thought it to be a ODI, then only saw this as an T20 match. Missed it, anyhow the complete match would've been like highlights. The best part chasing with 7 balls left when the target is 258 runs.

First season of WPL have come to an end with the winning of Mumbai Indians. It is something pre determined, because from the beginning Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals were expected to reach the finals and Mumbai Indians to win the title. In between there is small decline in the performance of Mumbai Indians team and things have come to control in the final.

Congratulations Mumbai Indians for the first WPL title.

It depends on the user and how he manages the finance. When it comes to business location I find it to be waste of money based on a real experience that happened days back with my friend. He started his pharmaceutical business three years back on a rented location. Slowly things were on the positive side and in the early days of moving to next level. By now the property owner have requested to move as the agreement needs to be renewed every 11 months. Based on the agreement now third renewal period got over and owner have given three months time. Within that my friend needs to find new location and once again start his business. This will surely be problem and affect the growth of businesses.
