1021  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: March 27, 2023, 11:21:01 PM
If FIFA can be able to manage the tournament in every two years it is possible for the tournament to take place in every two years. FIFA makes decision based only if it will favour them to handle.  I think this time the number of teams that will be participating in the tournament increased because it is something that can be managed.
I believe it's not possible to handle the tournament every two years for FIFA, because it demands a lot of preparations. Furthermore, the scenario on soccer industry doesn't change a lot in 2 years, meaning it's very likely the results and performances will be very similar from the last edition.

Also, that is why there are so many different tournaments such Olympic games, Pan American games, internal championships on each countries... So the public doesn't get bored by a single event becoming repetitive.
When things takes place common, the interest upon the same gets lost. World Cup getting organised for every 4 years is really good and this keeps the expectation for another four years of time. In between different formats of franchise leagues is more than enough.

When it comes to infrastructure development, it takes years for new host nations where football isn't that popular or not much played. The previous FIFA World Cup was conducted in Qatar. The preparation for the event started during the year 2010. So, to get prepared for the event also requires time.

Deciding whether gambling is right or wrong for them is subjective. For non-believer to their religion will find this news as normal event because the Pastor is living on Uganda which we all know that is very hard to earn money but this is different if you are the one with same religion with them because Pastors are role model for holiness in their religion.

I will never blame the Pastor on doing gambling to earn more for his own future. Probably his earnings through his ministry is not sufficient for his daily needs especially if he has a family to feed.
Even if we say gambling for religious leaders is unethical, but it does not mean that they cannot gamble at all. At the end of the day, it’s always their choice to gamble or not. However, based on the Pastor’s story, he decided to gamble and when he won huge amount, he shut down his ministry which for me is reasonable too since he’s not a real pastor in profession. He only did that to survive and use the money to raise his family.
Yes, he did the right thing than carrying the pastor attire. He's a common man who used the pastoral service as a profession and had better life than many other people of the particular locality, because people used to support the pastors even at their inability. There is nothing as pastors can't gamble, they preach and the same doesn't mean they should follow. There is a common slogan in my region believe in the preaching and not the preacher.

during covid indeed life was hard in various circumstances. At that time I got married, and of course it didn't cost more because of the ban on parties, but the surprising thing was, there was a lot of money given from friends and relatives, so at that time I was able to use it to survive until the situation improved and I got a job to survive
It is really happy that you had married at the right time and saved a lot. During the COVID one thing that happened good is the spending on marriages. Due to restrictions there isn't much of partying as well as big spending on grand celebration to waste the money. In particular more food wastes were avoided. Once after that people too had begun to follow similar practice of marriage than spending the hard earned money for two days enjoyment and once again running to earn all that's been Spend losing the real happiness of marriage.

In my region charity organization, religious institutions, government and through different other means food and needful things were supplied. This gave the comfort of having good food though we weren't able to eat what we liked/loved to eat.

Alliassime vs cerundolo is not going as i expected its a totaly different game from the last one they had few weeks ago, cerundolo won the first set easily and the second one seem tied at the moment but i still think aliassime can turn things around he's been in a good shape recently.
The first set too a big win for Cerúndolo, as Aliassime have lost the first set of the match 2-6. The young player have been fighting hard and the second set is lead by Cerúndolo 6-5. Big Performance have come from Cerúndolo. It looks like Auger Aliassime is feeling down, even in his previous match against Monteiro he won the match in two direct sets, but both the sets were won on the tie breaker 77-65 710-68.
1025  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will accepting cryptocurrency as a payment be profitable for business? on: March 27, 2023, 08:13:39 PM
The global acceptance of bitcoin by different businesses is less than a percentage. This means very limited number of businesses were accepting bitcoin and this number will increase over time when people get more awareness about cryptocurrencies. Every business focus will be revenue in terms of profit. People who wish to invest on bitcoin could go for cryptocurrency acceptance into the business. This means the business owner will have the chance to hold for longer time than just spending it soon after the payment is being received from the customer.

To have the bitcoin acceptance established in the business in a better way it takes time. Profit shouldn't be the key focus at the beginning. Just do the right think and the rewards will turn better based on the patience.

Actually, Sri Lanka played well while they were bowling. It was a good performance from them to get the New Zealand batting team all out before the 50 overs. But after that when they came into chasing, they had an absolutely horrible time. Now I'm just going to say the best score by a Sri Lankan player in this match, it is 18. And there are four extra runs in the 76 that Sri Lanka was able to score. Now Sri Lanka will have to win the next one.
In what way do you think Srilanka played well against NZ? Just look at the scorecard of Srilanka. The captain himself scores a duck and Mendis the wicket-keeper and the batter after the openers. If we check the balling stats then every baller had an economy of 4 and more. In ODI a target of 250+ is always not easy to chase. I am not sure what Srilanka would do in the next ODI. I hope they do not repeat the same performance.
Sri Lanka's performance is not acceptable in any way. They have not done well in any of the matches on this tour of New Zealand. But they had a good score in the first test match but they had to lose. After the first test match I haven't seen any good performance from them. I thought they would do well in the ODI matches but they lost big in the first match. I have doubt about the next matches whether they will be able to return to their form or not.

Sri Lanka's team has weakened since the retirement of star players like Sangakkara and Malinga. They cannot find a suitable replacement. And yet their group is not stable. The team has several talented players. But no player's performance is stable. This is why they play well in one match and lose badly in the next match. We have seen Sri Lanka perform like this for the last few years. And it is unlikely that Sri Lanka's performance will improve any time soon.
After the retirement of main players like Sangakkara and Malinga the SriLankan cricket team is facing probles. They have competed to find acceptable replacements which has led to uncertainty and unpredictability within the team in spite of having talented players SriLanka have failed to maintain good form or firmness in matches. This has resulted in their decline in internetional cricket and improvemant will require outstanding efforts by team management to identify and develop players who can consistently perform at the top level.
Much reforms are required within the team. Only through that it is possible to make players have consistency in performance which is much important with ODI format cricket. With T20 matches, someone at his best can bring up the team. Similar situation doesn't happen with ODI. As said consistency is a big lack with Sri Lanka team. In its previous series against India, in the first match team scored 300+ runs and lost the match. In the second match scored 215 runs and lost the match and in the third match while chasing the target of 390 runs the team scored just 73 runs which shows the real problem with consistency in performance.

Pakistan failed to produce new players in the T20I series with Afghanistan which was meant to select new players.

Some new players in the Series against Afghanistan
Saim Ayub 17, 0
Tayyab Tahir 16, 13
Abdullah Shafique 0,0
Azam khan 0, 1
Mohamed Haris 6, 15
Judging by the run figures of the above players in the first two T20 matches, every player who played in PSL performed well but their performance against Afghanistan shows that PSL talent does not play a good role in player selection. Apart from Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan, it is doubtful whether any new talent will get a place for Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup.
In two of their matches, the opening batting failed.The opener batting could not perform well. Mohammad Rizon and Babar Azam,who are 2 and 3 at the top of the world rankings,are not in the team.If they were two in the team, maybe Pakistan could have done better in the opening. They could have big scored more runs. Because Mohammad Rizon's average run rate is around 49. Babar Azam's average run rate is 41.Pakistan team cannot perform well without these two batting.
The opening order failed, further someone could've maintained better runrate to reach atleast 160+ runs. What the team have done is very bad. The same score is being reached by Afghanistan team at the 20th over and they've lost just three wickets. The openers who weren't part of the match have got good average, and this means the team is dependent on specific players. This isn't going to be the team performance. Atleast after the first T20 loss Pakistan should've planned well and done things better.

South Africa cricket team has scored 131 runs after completing 11 overs.  South Africa cricket team scored a fairly good score.  The match win or loss depends on South Africa's bowling performance.  The second innings has already started.  Although West Indies lost two wickets at the beginning of the game, West Indies' batting performance is very good.  West Indies cricket team score till now, 66 runs for 2 in 4.1 overs. If West Indies can play like this in the whole match then West Indies will have a chance to win against South Africa.  Now let's see what happens at the end of the game
West Indies alway have its own style of game. When none expects it to make a win in wins the match. In simple, the team losses easy matches and wins hard matches that requires high runrate per over. In today's match this is really hard, because wickets shouldn't fall, runs need to be scored from the beginning. West Indies did things perfectly and won the match with 4 balls left.

Zimbabwe performed well at their venue. Zimbabwe was the favorite to me throughout the tournament. But after losing their first match, I was a bit hesitant. But they performed well in the next two matches. Especially the last match of the series was really appreciable for them. Every player had a good partnership Wessly Madhevere collected 49, Craig Ervine 44, Gary Ballance 64 and Sean Williams 43 all are relatively big scores and they got an easy win.
The first two matches were really competitive and Netherlands was chasing those matches where they won the first match and they came close to victory in the second match and Zimbabwe somehow managed to win that match and the third match was one sided as Netherlands were not able to put a competitive score on board and Zimbabwe chased them without much struggle.
In today's match Netherlands could've reached atleast 280+ runs. Performance from Zimbabwe team is completely unexpected, they reached the 231 runs target in 41.4 overs. They're in a situation to chase 300 or 300+ runs based on the performance. Also they had 7 wickets in hand. Finally series won by Zimbabwe and Netherlands missed it and seems unlucky.
1031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 25, 2023, 07:48:55 AM

New Zealand managed to collect 274 runs. They lost all the wickets. Finn Allen scored 51 runs for the team. The performance of the Sri Lankan bowlers was quite good. Chamika Karunaratne in particular gave a great performance. He managed to pick up four wickets. He gave 43 runs in 9 overs.
I don't think the pitch is conducive to batting. The bowlers were getting enough advantage on this pitch. So if the bowlers of New Zealand are able to bowl controlled then it will be easy for New Zealand to win this match. Moreover, the performance of Sri Lankan batsmen is not regular.

If the performance of Sri Lankan team was good so here is the New Zealand. As I said the New Zealand team is looking strong. Now Sri Lankan team is near to match loss. They made only 56 runs in 16 overs at the Run Rate of 3.5.
And surprisingly lost 7 wickets. So match is giving full favor to New Zealand team. And soon we will see that the New Zealand has won the match. Smiley
Finally Sri Lanka have ended the innings at 79 runs. Sri Lanka should've chosen to bat first after winning the toss, because they could play without pressure. While chasing target there'll be more pressure. Henry Shipley bowled well with the five wicket haul. This was close to his best bowling figure. His best in ODI 5/30 and today he had taken 5/31. New Zealand is strong in bowling as well as batting. Runs came from top order to the middle order players that made New Zealand team reach 274 runs.

Visions needs big money, but sadly Sri Lanka is having long civil war and the recently their corrupt rulers not allowed to have any better facility and improvement in life expeditions which are also important for having better results in all aspects of sports and other departments even Sri Lanka is having one of the best literacy rate in this region, but sadly things are never been suitable for domestic and international business which is also important for them with Sri Lanka is fourth-largest producer of tea in the world and also having many other things but sadly their business model is never been ideal which give them better things due to corruption so with this all we can't expect big changes in near future as well.

Civil war ended more than a decade ago, with the defeat of the LTTE. It can no longer be said as an excuse for not having a proper domestic setup. The issues faced by Sri Lanka is similar to the one that is faced by Bangladesh. In both the countries, domestic cricket is dominated by cricket clubs rather than region-based teams. The clubs don't want to lose the power that they are already enjoying. As a result they always sabotage the plans to establish a region-based system. But without a region-based system, staying competitive at the highest level is near to impossible.
Various reasons can be cited as for the Srilanka cricket team's lack in performance. Till 2015 Sri Lanka was a big competitor and with the retirement of senior players like Sangakara everything started to collapse. The team didn't had the right guidance and the board kept changing captains as there is none to make a winning better than the seniors. Since 2015 Sri Lanka have suffered to reach Semifinals on ICC tournaments. Financial cricis is there, the pay cut for the players is high. Almost 30% annual pay cut for the players surely gives them pressure and can't perform well. Everything is upon the time, look at Australia they're king of cricket once now things have changed. Over time we can expect better performance from Srilanka.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand

Today is the first ODI match in these two teams. Which has been started Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl first. Both teams are good and will try to their best to win this match. Now the New Zealand made 34 runs in 4 overs and the Current Run Rate is 8.5. I think if the New Zealand team will make 350+ runs so it will be little bit difficult to chase by the Sri Lankan team. By the way I can't predict now in the start of match. But I think New Zealand is looking strong.
In the test series New Zealand proved they're strong in the home ground than playing away. With the ODI series we can expect similar performance coming out of New Zealand team. Sri Lanka have won the ODI series against Australia last year and later it have played against Afghanistan and leveled 1-1, played against India and lost 3-0. This time it should have corrected itself and New Zealand might be on the better side which can be handled well by Sri Lanka players with better plans.

It has always been a norm for us to gamble with spear money and that is why it is necessary to make a betting limit and once that limit is reached don't over-stress it even if you are winning or losing.
Because with a formidable spendable amount, you can make an accurate decision on how much you are ready to wager with, and you will not be influenced by any external factors such as chasing winning or trying to recover the loss.
The use of funds in gambling must be limited because without imposing a fund limit, gamblers will be greedy and can spend high funds in gambling without considering the risk of loss because they think losses can be recovered in the next bet, many gamblers do not have the anticipation of limiting funds so they bet because of the greed factor to earn profit from gambling, so such criteria for gamblers must be avoided, wise gamblers have a strategy of limiting the use of funds to avoid high losses.
Limiting the funds is a must with gambling to avoid big losses. With gambling losses were common, when we know about our limits one can continue his gambling activities without any problem in his financial life. Very few does it whereas majority just keep on gambling without limits and finally feels bad. None can help in that situation. Even the gambling sites have provided with vault service with which we can keep the required amount and leave the rest on the open wallet for gambling. Only the gamblers decision whether to limit himself or enjoy gambling without limits.

Winning the toss and choosing to bat first was the biggest mistake Pakistan made in this match. The Afghanistan bowling lineup absolutely ran through the Pakistani batting lineup.

Pakistan winning the toss and batting is not unreasonable here. But one thing I think is very meaningless to you, what lesson did Pakistani batsmen and bowlers learn from PSL that in a match like T20 only 92 run target should be given. Here I will give more importance to the performance of Afghanistan's bowlers. They bowled controlled and they bowled very efficiently in scoring runs.  But Pakistan should learn from this match how to play controlled bowling and batting.

Few days back PSL got over, following T20 match against Afghanistan is lost. Considering the PSL performance, young players were into the team and things happened unpredicted. Bangladesh team had the combined effort as each and every player had good contribution in bowling. Everyone bowled took atleast a wicket. Six bowlers were used, with batting it suffered and Nabi kept the match under control and took it towards the winning. One more match to be won to win the T-20 series.

I see him a good pastor, because his greed have made him a pastor. Now what he looked for have been won and he believes of better life with the winning amount. Once he have made a mistake and now he have got an opportunity to get out of it. Very few pastor's were serving wholeheartedly whereas the majority were for money. In specific there is lot of difference between a catholic priest and a pastor. To be a catholic priest he needs to learn many things and it takes atleast 10+ years of time. Anyone turns to be a pastor with the knowledge about the Bible. This is why more fake pastors seen around.

As expected Sanju Samson has started questioning SKY. Shashi Tharoor has been vocal about Sanju Samson not being part of the Indian 11. After the IPL If his performance is better than SKY then I think he will be of the Indian 11 in the world cup.


~~~~

Elections are due in around 12 months from now, and Shashi Tharoor knows that he can't win without the support from the Christian voters (~25% in his consistency). The reason why he remembers Samson all of a sudden is just because he needs votes from that particular section. Samson was given plenty of chances previously and now the BCCI should consider some of the other promising youngsters to replace SKY (if needed). There is no comparison between SKY and Samson. SKY is miles ahead in terms of consistency and skills.
Just because SKY made some ravishing performance doesn't mean he can't be compared with Sanju Samson. Even before the politicians words there were issues around. The only support he have is the social media community who raise voice against the BCCI. This doesn't have any use. It is a proven fact in Indian cricket that the North players were prioritised against the South. This is well known and admitted politics within India. Now we're discussing about the ODI format of cricket. An average of 66 runs is far better compared to 20 runs and both have debuted in the same Sri Lanka series during the year 2021.

vBetting is programmed betting, compared to real bet. Off course, how the house edge ended is always to make the casino profit. People are gonna to more playing in real bet rather than vBetting.

I know, cause I also sometimes playing like Virtual Blackjack from Evolution Game ~LOL and yeah, feel like rigged deck or system ~XD not make senses for the result.

As far as I know, virtual betting is a game where predetermined results are possible but what makes it random is the number generator to determine the winner. In a way, the AI already knows who the winner but a random number generator (RNG) makes it random in a way.

To maximize results, I would personally bet on real games where outcome is dependent on the choices that you make. Relying completely on an AI result is something that can potentially be risky on your part.
Yes, through random number generator this works. Mostly this RNG will be in favour of the casino to bring profit and the house edge will be accordingly. It is really hard to have a proof that the sport is being manipulated.

As mentioned when there is more games available what's the need to spend on something that relies completely on pre programmed things. If not, just as fun need to spend little by little, and enjoy the game.

However these changes are temporary and could be driven to some extent.

Each board is an education board, because everything have got more information to be learnt. There is nothing specific for the education, and this is good. I'm not sure how this can be made to work in an effective way, because if the forum start supporting education, automatically more and more queue for it.

For people who prefer having a loan could increase the trust network and request for loan. If you receive the loan, make use of it. However you need to provide something as collateral to receive the funds and make use of it for the need.
