1301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a good idea to just register on casino on: January 21, 2023, 10:55:40 PM
In general, this is a working idea, but how much do you plan to earn from it? 10-20-100 dollars? And this is in a good case if you can fulfill the conditions for receiving the bonus without losing your original money. Is it worth the risk of such a profit if you initially do not plan to play for fun, but want to make a profit?

I absolutely agree with you. Gambling just because you will be given a bonus when depositing is not the best idea. As I understand it, OP is a gambler who thinks he can beat the casino, but in fact he is one of those who pecks at marketing tricks without realizing it.

In my opinion, gambling is necessary only for pleasure and only for free money. Bonuses when replenishing an account are just a way to attract the attention of a gambler.

Theoretically, having a bonus and playing games with low casino margins, you can "save" part of the bonus and get extra money. The question is, is it worth the time? Generous bonuses like "100% on the first deposit" are usually limited to either a very small amount or have unrealistic wagering conditions. I just don't understand why do this - in the end it will bring a couple of dollars (even a couple of tens) of profit.
Welcome bonus or the sign-up bonuses with wagering requirements to be fulfilled to withdraw is really a hard take infront of the users, because only is a very hard task. The time spent on making the wager is worth it, but in mean we need to have required capital to enjoy the wagering.

The experience from T20 and Test matches were completely different. For that we can't say the player who had performed well can't play good in test matches. In the past we used to hear the statement, Sachin's records can't be beaten. What is happening. Virat Kohli is so close and soon he'll beat all the records. Same as that, in bowling we've got legendary bowlers from Australia and for the same it doesn't mean the present bowlers are down to them in performance.

Sachin himself in an interview had said that one batter that can beat his record is Kholi. Sachin was from an era when an umpires was the only decision makers. Virat is from an era where apart from the umpires there are softwares that help the umpires to make a decision. Still if Kholi is able to beat Sachin's record then it is a great achievement for him.  

Therefore I would still rate Sachin ahead of Virat. And one more thing. Sachin was a gentleman, both on and off the field. Unlike Kohli who behaves like a Baboon.

Sachin is a legend! These new age batters grew up watching Sachin play cricket. He is still a gentleman on and off the field. His simplicity is what made him the God of Cricket. I also agree Kholi behaves like a Baboon on the field not sure how he behave off the field.
Records are made to be broken by someone , and that's the fun of game . Sachin is an idol and all cricketers look up to him for his performance and his batting , he is the oneans no one can compete him .

Yes virat kohli might break his cricket records but he can't beat his politeness and personality and his good nature.
Someday records gets broken. This is common with every sports, but the time taken to break the record matters. In that sense it is great achievement from Virat Kohli. Comparison is not a bad thing, because comparison helps with achieving further than stopping thyself. In my view comparison between Sachin and Virat Kohli is not wrong.

Pakistan women vs Zimbabwe women U19 WC
Pakistani women played really good as they chased small target of 97 runs given by Zimbabwe.  Pakistani women made 100 runs in 10 overs with no fall of wickets.  That's a good performance by them.

Indian women vs South Africa wone tri series
India is batting now  and made 147 runs in 20 overs.  This is a fairly good target , now south Africa batting will decide who'll win this match.
India Women's team is making themselves strong with their performance. In Women's cricket something close to 150 runs is good and India defended it at 120 runs. India Women cricket is getting better over time. More cricketing action happening all around and this time Women's team too getting importance. Women's teams need to have continued series will make them better over time.

That's why we don't have to think about it too much because we don't know the truth. Maybe it's true but maybe it's not. And if he is telling the truth and can show even more valid proof, he is really very lucky because he can win a lot of money from gambling because not many people can. We also don't need to be fascinated by other people's wins because everyone has different levels of luck. Maybe our turn will come later to get a win from gambling, so be patient until that time.
Maybe he is a new member registering on the forum to discuss gambling, but the evidence provided is not reliable enough from his statement so videotape evidence is more valid to be trusted, but he must be satisfied with his winnings even without expecting a bonus from the casino, but actually the most important factor is the platform is still legit because requests for high withdrawals are still being processed at any time. Hope you find the new casino platform giving bonuses as expected.
He is lucky enough to make big money out of gambling. It is better to feel happy with the win than feeling bad out of the bonus inavailed for him. Maybe the platform hadn't stuck to its promises. On seeing this thread it reminds me of the thread where a person losing 1.4 million in a single bet placed @!.01 and losing the entire bet comes to the mind. He's much lucky tha  many other gamblers which itself a big blessing.

Failed if we only look at the price perspective. But if we look at the overall situation there maybe it somehow didn't fail since they are still promoting bitcoin on their country and there candidate in miss universe represent them with Bitcoin symbol on their national costume.

Bitcoin take a good spotlight there when Miss El salvador walk in the runway.



Photo credit taken from google

For this bringing up on international stage they are damn serious on bitcoin adoption to their country.



In all means El Salvador is trying to keep its growth and provide stage for bitcoin. Maybe in the future El Salvador flag will have bitcoin. In all possible means El Salvador is doing the best to prioritize bitcoin. Some say the country have failed, but the reality is they're with the fighting spirit. Now tourism have experienced success, slowly one by one other sectors too will progress. The small move by the fashion industry to have bitcoin staged too can cause a turn.

The match between Felix Auger Aliassime and Alex Molcan have reached the 5th set in the second round. It looked like an easy win for Felix Auger Aliassime as he won the first two sets. Alex Molcan the No.1 Slovak Player made a come back winning the third and fourth sets. It is the fifth set that decides the winner of the match. Felix Auger Aliassime leads the fifth set 2-1, one by one expected players are making their progress into the further rounds.

There wasn't much interest from the broadcasters for WIPL but still, it found the bid for 5 year contract worth close to 1000 cr INR.

Also, Mumbai is hosting the first season, ideally, it should have been all metro cities but it's fine as they are still testing the waters.
 
Why would you think a 5 year contract of 1000Cr is not good? This is the first WIPL and trust me it is way better than all others league on women cricket. I am suprised you expected more as non of the male based cricket are in level with the initial revenue generated by just suction of the media coverage. In my opinion, such investment shows the future of women cricket & women based sports in India. A long way to go with a lot of initial support. I hope women cricketers around the world recognise the potential of league cricket in india.
This is just simple thing. The IPL media rights for the same tenure of five years is around 50 times higher than the amount that is being concluded for the Women's IPL. IPL have grown high in popularity and WIPL is getting launched out of the IPL popularity. That's why it is said the media rights is low. As you've mentioned this league will be helpful for few number of women cricketers around the world.
1308  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I be worried? on: January 16, 2023, 11:59:52 PM
Keep yourself pushing on the learning process. Never get into a conclusion for that what you've done hadn't brought success. Nothing to worry when you're in a market that is highly technology dependent. You need to understand and make yourself get adopted to it. This will surely bring success than switching yourself from one thing to the other.
Learn out of everything. When you have the proper understanding you'll handle things with different approach. Just because your expectations doesn't coincide with the reality never find it wrong in you. As said, being technology dependent things can take a big change in no time. Keep on learning will let you do the right thing.

It is not easy to get a reliable captain like Dhoni in Indian cricket. Although I know that the Indian team is still a very strong team in the cricket world. There are also many good players outside of the national team. But it will take time to find someone like Dhoni. KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli are all good performers, but they are not yet qualified to captain like Dhoni. I consider Dhani is the best captain ever.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's best captain of all time, not only captained well in all formats, but Mahendra Singh Dhoni was an ideal genius for the whole of cricket. I have seen many of his captaincy in the national team and one thing that has always stood out in him is great discipline. His fielding arrangements were outstanding, almost many matches were turned into success by Dhoni's performance. In a match between Bangladesh and India, India won that day only because of Dhoni's brilliant batting and that was one of my memorable moments between India and Bangladesh. I have always admired Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy and doubt anyone will get a second spell in India with a captaincy like his.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not only doing well in captaincy also received the man of the match award for many times. He was not behind in international cricket and other domestic leagues. His leadership in any adverse situation of the team was excellent. His presence in the team meant that there was a kind of courage working in every player. He also captained the Chennai Super Kings for a long time in the Indian Premier League and was successful. Need another player like him to lead the Indian national team.
To find a person same as MSD is truly a hard task, but we'll get someone in the long run. For now it is KL Rahul to lead the match and he takes responsibility and plays well. At times his performance looks to be on personal contribution and doesn't look like he's playing for the team. Just think of Sachin Tendulkar, none believed that the records from him to be beaten. Soon those records will be beaten by Kohli, so players keep on emerging better than the other. For now we can't expect someone to lead the team same as MSD.
1310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you handle your losses on: January 16, 2023, 09:37:34 PM
When you've failed emotionally it is impossible to handle your loss. The result comes to an end with the wallet getting emptied. Emotional failure can't be managed by any of the ways, and it is the one through which one gamblers loss huge funds. We should not let our gambling activities have an emotional connect. When you feel you're on the losing streak, just stop and take a break which is the best way.
1311  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the key to your success investing in bitcoin.. on: January 16, 2023, 08:40:52 PM
First of all, you should trust the system and know what you are doing. There are many scams and many have lost coins, so security is important. I think that is the basis to invest in bitcoin and altcoins. While investing you should be active to help other people understand bitcoin. If you follow old posts here from the forum, then often hodln is the easiest way and I think it's good too. Buy some coins and don't panic, more fiat… no thanks.
When you're investing/buying from specific platform it is a must to verify whether you're into the right place. These days people are well targeted and funds were easily taken control by group of users. Getting caught into such kind of traps easily make the person have a negative thought over the market. In reality the market needs to be well analysed. Simple mistakes might keep people away from lifelong usage of cryptocurrencies.
1312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: January 16, 2023, 03:08:44 PM
I don't think I will get to see any matches live unfortunately. Looking through
the results on both the man's and women's side I don't see any upsets as such on day 1.

Nadal finished strong in that 4th set 6-1. If it was a three set match you would say it was
a close one but alas the 5 set GS is a completely different thing to deal with.


Yeah, if it was a three set match everyone would've thought it to be a close match. In the first set it was a great fight from Nadal as he wasn't able to finish the set within 6 points. In the second set Drapper made good comeback and levelled 1-1. Anyhow it is known Nadal to win the match. The young player gave the best and it is like Drapper's age is the experience of Nadal in tennis. Upcoming days might bring more unexpected results as young players are competing each others.

Bitcoin into the curriculum is a must for now, only the education can carry it to the next generation in a perfect way than just happening through practice. Over years the development and spreading have been happening in a better way than the past days. Our forum members are doing the best in spreading the word about bitcoin. Atleast five threads have been found on forum members spreading the word of bitcoin to the people surrounding them. In particular some even have started accepting bitcoin into their businesses.
1314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: January 15, 2023, 11:58:48 PM
Canada and Mexico will host only 10 games each. USA will host 60! Total of 80 matches for the next World Cup. Probably there will be logistics to not exhaust players when travelling from one place to another.

I didn't know that and doesn't feel fair at all because the ones who will print with that event will be USA while the 3 of them have to spend a lot of money for the event. I think the matches should be split into the same amount of games for each country because doesn't worth making the infrastructure and the conditions in a country only for 10 games. I feel like Mexico and Canada will lose a lot of money with this.
That's fair, for what the countries spend they'll make some revenue. Now it is the USA to make big money out of the event and giving just the name as the host for Mexico and Canada. Anyhow this is gonna cost the countries as well as the people who wish to watch the matches. Because travelling between the countries will surely cost them much and it can't be expected to be the same as the event in Qatar. The best part of Qatar, all levels of people were able to watch the matches due to the affordable cost which won't be possible with the upcoming season.

The match was just like kids play with pro Grin , so shameful performance for team SiriLanka, they lost Thier confident when they got such a huge target.
If you remember, in the first ODI India scored 373 runs and Sri Lanka in return scored 306 runs, so you cannot simply claim this pathetic performance as the pressure of the target but the pitch itself might be the reason and definitely the bowlers especially Mohammed Siraj even though unfortunately he missed on a 5 wicket haul in the match he ripped the Sri Lankan batting.

We can't say there's no pressure. Sri Lanka had much pressure, looking the big target in front of them. 350 runs and 390 runs have got much difference. Even in the first match Sri Lanka started same as this match, but the scoring from Nissanka kept the match alive and made other players contribute. This time the same didn't work and the bowlers took advantage. It is the bowling that brought such a win for India.
1316  Economy / Economics / Re: Reserve Bank of India Governor Calls for an Outright Crypto Ban on: January 15, 2023, 11:48:49 PM
CBDCs are just fiat that claims to use blockchain technology, but they are fiat. They offer no value more than fiat.

I hope indian government will not be very stupid to leave cryptocurrencies and ban it. The reserve bank of India governor is only self-centered but he is just a single person. Single person can not ban cryptocurrencies when the citizens likes it. He wants ban of what the government sees as a means of getting more tax.

Te reserve bank of India governor see crypto as gambling, he should propose ban of gambling in India too.
That's awesome. India is a big market for gambling industries. More number of gambling platforms have got into existence over the last few years. The pandemic have made way for the development and even after losing of so many lives, the government isn't concerned about making any changes to the gambling platforms.

Everywhere the government want to control the money. In India the government wants tax and they tried all possible ways, but looks like nothing worked as they expected. Maybe that's the reason for such a statement. Even now India's legality on cryptocurrency usage isn't announced. People keep on using just because it is taxed, considering it legal.
1317  Economy / Speculation / Re: what caused bitcoin to go up this january 2023 on: January 15, 2023, 11:43:37 PM
Following what happened to FTX, Bitcoin's price plummeted in November 2022, but it's gradually rebounding now. I believe the main reason for the price increase is the recent release of US inflation data. The recently released inflation data is most likely what encourages investors to gamble by betting on bitcoin. We don't expect the market to move in a straight line; anything can happen, but I expect the bears to hibernate and let the 🐂🐂 begging to take control.
FTX have been made as the reason for the downturn in the market during the year 2022. Along with that more similar incidents happened and even if those incidents haven't happened we could've experienced similar market situations. It is something like a coincidence, if not the same could've been related to something else that happened during that time period. It is the inflation data from the US that have pumped the market. Whether it is long growing or a short term move, it is time to make further plans.

Indian government (maybe other also)  say that " to ban cryptocurrency we need global help" my question is : can bitcoin be banned if all government will agree to ban bitcoin

i am something less experience and has bad english so ignore
parable of the government and central bank trying to ban cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin.


source >>> google

the government may be able to intervene in cryptocurrency exchange platforms, and centralized altcoins but intervening in bitcoin is an impossibility.  already millions of people who love bitcoin, if you want to turn off bitcoin then the government must restart millions of people's minds Cheesy
In a simple image the reality is well explained. It isn't an easy think as the governments think. Maybe in the early days if they have planned to stop its usage, the governments might've got an opportunity. Now scenario is different and people are well aware of the need and they keep on making loopholes even if something is done outright to stop its usage.
1319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can players bet on their own games on: January 14, 2023, 11:01:32 PM
Professional athletes and sports players weren't allowed to bet on them or upon the game they play. This is done to have them self control, because once they start placing bets on them, it'll be the beginning to play for his/her favour. Finally his game game will be much based on personal financial gain which is not good while representing a team or a country. For this reason professional players weren't allowed to make bets, but these days there are chances of professionals making bets using the anonymous betting opportunities.

One great achievement of Bangladesh women cricket team against Aussie
the Bangladesh women cricket team made a history by defeating Aussie team. NOone talked about women victory - congrats to Bangladesh for great win
A big achievement from Bangladesh Women's team. I've been searching around for the match between Australia Women and Bangladesh Women. To be clear, it was U-19 Women's Worldcup match and Bangladesh Women have won it. Australia Women have won the toss and elected to bat, and made 130 runs losing 5 wickets. Bangladesh women team have reached the target in 18 overs losing 3 wickets which is a big win.
