After Australia India has 5 test match WTC series against England at home not australia, we could expect India winning the home series by good margin may be 4-1 as they are strong on home turf. If by any chance English team surprises them, which is possible then i am expecting 3-2 series in favor of India.
India is a strong team at home but in the past they won because they had great spinners but who are their regular spinners in Test, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are their main spinners and if they perform then India will dominate England as the last tour of India was also a disaster .
The Australian tour is the big test for the Indian squad as they are waiting for retribution Wink.

well they run that crypto lower class wall street game for us sure they are educated but crypto is destined for lower class and middle class dreamers.
You got that completely wrong, anyone can invest in any financial asset and for that you need money and cryptocurrency is no different. There are billions invested in bitcoin and other major coins and you think the lower and the middle class are doing that. If you are talking about making a fortune yes it gave the opportunity for everyone to make money because it is the initial stages of a new technology and any blind invest during the initial period will make money.

No government can "kill" this technology, they can only prohibit its use in certain areas. But through exchanges, People do still manage to invest in areas wherein it is not "legal" through crypto exchanges but are having a hard time to convert it into fiat.
For the most part it is true that no government could kill the technology but the major problem i see is that the mining is centralized and if there is a collaboration of nations that has the most miners and they can shut that down then we might have a problem but i am not expecting that as the financial institutions started pouring in billions and the principle behind the idea is novel and hence implementing laws around it is the best option rather than stopping it.

But if you are a gambler, fees will really matter and choosing those who can offer a small one could be the best idea. I'd never see there is another reason the cause of this changes as it is eventually a practice before.What casinos did is just to get some more profit coming from fees and they'll also taking the advantage while Bitcoin is in hype.
The reason you will hear from casino who increased their withdrawal fees is that some users are taking advantage of the lower fees and using the casino as a wallet to hold your funds and then withdraw without even playing anything and i recently heard the same from Stake management that the reason for the fee hike is to avoid users like that and not to squeeze petty profit as some of the gambling sites are providing much bigger freebies and giveaways.

South Africa vs England is going in doubt as 4 South African players already positive with Covid-19 and isolated hopefully we will have some better update in coming days.
I read that one player was tested positive and two other players who was having close contact were placed in quarantine and none of their details are public to understand which player tested positive and which players were put in quarantine. From where you got the news that 4 South African players tested positive.

Conor McGregor has signed his bout agreement to fight Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 on Jan. 23, McGregor told Ariel Helwani.
I hope this is not a title fight because Conor McGregor has the habit of winning the title and then holding the division hostage for years and he never defended his titles ever in his entire life and i am rooting for Dustin Poirier to win the fight but Conor is a tough nut to crack for the rest of the fighters Grin .

I like both fighters who ever wins this will be a great fight . Dustin may be able to get it to the ground and get the submission but if he doesn’t it will be a war on the feet.
If you see the fights against Khabib, Conor fought well than any other fighter against the take downs even though he was dominated he fared better than the rest of the opponents Khabib faced and with that take down defense he can hold on to anyone else.

Cricket is the one of the game I so much love, but the problem is that I don't really know how cricket operates and I never gamble with cricket game, so I want to know if its possible to have a cricket betting center like soccer betting center that will enable people who are novice to it to understand it properly without difficulties, because from my perspective having it's betting center I think it can enable it to reach the grass root, because from my understanding it has gotten to the knowledge of everyone on how to predict it and also play it.
I am confused what you are trying to tell, you love the game of cricket so much that you do not know the game and you want to learn from basic Roll Eyes. If you want to learn about basics and the rules of cricket you can search in youtube and you will find many videos regarding that and then start watching matches and you will understand the game.
What is this betting center Huh. If you are looking for sportsbook all the sites accepts cricket bets.

It is quite surprising. The WBBL is ongoing right now, and if a franchise league involving 8 teams can proceed without any trouble then I don't think that there should be any issue with the bilateral series. But then, COVID 19 cases are really surging in Australia. It will be a very tough task for CA to set up bio-secure bubbles and ensure that the players remain safe.
Right now the matches are going on, if the number of positive cases reaches a level then the government will be forced to lock down everything and if that happens then the matches will be in jeopardy and it depends upon the government whether they will allow cricket to resume in a bubble.

Yeah, its different setup but nowadays Australian pitches also turning into batting paradise. Although still very different from the sub-continent pitches for obvious reasons such as there is no bounce what-so-ever in subcontinent ground.
Earlier Australia had the best bowlers to back up the performance and if the opponent have a much better fast bowling line up then it is a smart choice to prepare flat wickets and the introduction of T20 might have influenced in the preparation of these pitches.

It was not just the mainstream media. Social media was also extremely biased in this election and the Democrats used their leverage with various social media platforms very cleverly. Both Facebook and Twitter censored or removed posts from Donald Trump and the other Republicans, while refusing to allow publication of anything which would harm the prospects of Joe Biden. The Hunter Biden scandal was not covered by any of the mainstream media channels and social media blocked anyone who would post anything related to this news. And BTW, the legal head of Twitter (Vijaya Gadde) is an extreme-left loonie.
I knew that there were censoring things and Trump was hated by celebrities as well as the media and does not give any merit for his performance and then hide the rest of the stories. I was not aware of the extend of the censorship but it is outrageous.

Now coming back to the topic, I hope those who bet in favor of Joe Biden have received their rewards. Trump is yet to concede, but now it looks clear that Biden will take charge on January 2021. So I would assume that the gambling sites would start distributing the winning amounts this month itself.
I placed a few bets on Trump and it is not cleared and placed last minute bets on Biden and those are cleared.

This is something that the BCCI should pay attention to. Players such as Pujara have been out of action for quite long, and they may find themselves rusty during the matches. It is very much necessary to have a good number of practise/warmup matches before the actual matches start. I am skeptical here, because the BCCI have been always against playing large number of practice matches.
During a pandemic it is impossible to give these players a match situation and the problem right now is Australia is having a surge in the number of patients and there is a possibility that the government could lock the country once again and i have seen reports that the venue might change because of the situation and if that is the case we might not even see any warm up matches.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: US Presidential Election 2020 and its impact on gambling on: November 16, 2020, 11:59:25 PM
Without the COVID 19 pandemic, Trump would have easily won the elections. The economy was doing exceptionally well, and unemployment rate was at all time low. But the pandemic changed everything and the mainstream media pounced on the opportunity. For the last 5-6 months, the network news channels of US acted like the mouthpiece of Democrat party. Various biased opinion polls predicted a Biden blowout. And despite all this, Trump lose by a razor thin margin.
Even i think Trump would have easily won the elections if not for the pandemic as he was a good president in my opinion and it is true that he did some exceptional things but the media was more focused on tarnishing his image and he did not do anything that could make that better either and as you said most of the network news channels were against him from the beginning mocking and undermining his achievements.
1352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 16, 2020, 11:41:32 PM
If you remember the 2017 series, then it was Pujara who scored the most runs for India. So they have batsmen who can face world class pace attack. But the question is whether they will be able to do that on a consistent basis or not. Anyway, this time the indications are that CA will be preparing pitches that are more conductive to batting.
I am yet to see the team for the Test matches for India but Pujara is a Test specialist and he has not played any competitive cricket for a long time due to pandemic and that will be a challenge for him and there is no way CA will be preparing pitches that are batting friendly as that will end up in a draw rather than providing in any result as India has some good players who are able to bat the entire day especially Pujara.
1353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 15, 2020, 11:54:12 PM
I agree with you that, at this time India have a lot of good pace bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah is an awesome bowler. Apart from that, India has some better pace bowlers. But the main thing is, although they have some qualityfull world class batsman , but most of their batsman are a little bit weak against pace bowling. I think it is the only weak point of Indian team. Hope they will recover it. And we will see a competitive series.
We will get all the answers by this month as the tournament will start by 27th but for the real Test it will take a longer time, the shorter format will be close matches as both teams have good players but the main highlight would be the Test series and i am hoping that Australia will have an upper hand because they are playing in their home ground. I know that Indian players were susceptible to short pitch bowling in the past but the current players are more than capable of playing those shorts.

Biggest problem is corruption and racism these two are killing cricket in Zimbabwe and South Africa sadly black players are not going for merit mostly they are trying to have place just by quota which is never been good they must try with some good skills which will bring some good quality and more interest but sadly in last 2 decades we have never any thing like this.
The problem is the people in power, i do not think corruption is the main cause of the lack of talents coming into the team but the way in which they merit the players according to the color rather than skills, the political situation in those countries are not favorable either and these scenarios will have an impact on the outcome. If the cricket board is giving effort in the junior division in finding talents then the situation will change but who knows what is going on.
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 13, 2020, 09:27:56 PM
I would not consider the finals one-sided. Though Delhi lost all it's matches with Mumbai, Mumbai was not undefeated in the league. And the final was itself a competitive one as Delhi took even the smaller target for Mumbai to last 10 balls. And statistically, it was a good league for Delhi as they reached the finals for the first time
No one would argue against Delhi Capitals having their best season in the history of IPL but the second eliminator was a good match but then when it came to the final they lost it completely the moment they won the toss in the final and electing to bat and then went on to loose early wickets and MI dominating the match from the start and then when MI was batting the DC bowlers failed to picked early wickets and where does the competitive aspect comes into play Grin.
1356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 12, 2020, 11:12:03 PM
I think if we see only the second half of the tournament Delhi didn't really deserved the title in any way. They performed pretty badly in second half. There were other teams who performed much better. I expected SRH to reach the finals as they played much better in the later half. All on all I felt matches in the later half of the IPL much less thrilling.
Even though i missed the early part of the IPL i watched the matches this month and DC was not in a position to get to the final but they played a good match against SRH which none expected because if you compare their performance SRH was consistent while DC was really struggling and they were able to perform well on that day but against MI they accepted defeat from the start.

RDA is really small for WW
When you see fighters like Rafael Dos Anjos we think about having another weight division so that these fighters will fit perfectly. He is a small fighter for welterweight and 155 pound might be a hard cut and then there are fighters like Kevin Lee, Gunnar Nelson and Jorge Masvidal that would wish to have a division like that.

But yeah..  Line's too deep for RDA from a betting persepctive.
I am going with RDA on this match up and most probably will go the distance .

Remember, the communist party has to fuel rapid growth to maintain power. As long as the economy is rapidly growing and the people believe it's because of the government, they have domestic stability.
So what do you think that a country should do, i am not a fan of the ruling party of China but i am impressed by their development and growth and how it is challenging many other countries and for the people development is necessary and if they think that the government can provide and they are happy with it, then what is the issue.

It's actually possible, though that may result in a bubble similar to 2017/2018, which isn't really a good result when looked at in the long run.
Everyone is aware of the bubble and i do believe that people invest in bitcoin knowing this fact and if you are smart enough you can make a hefty profit during the rally and so is the reason many institutional investors are investing millions for the past few months and these institutional investors are also aware of this process, we will hear about the bubble and that is it, smart move is to ride the rally Wink.
1360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: November 11, 2020, 08:19:17 PM
I would be rather curious to know how you guys bet and how you make use of singles. Do you really believe in minimizing risk when placing single bets? It's like going all-in, you basically flip a coin, either you win or you lose. If you like that, keep on playing. That's not for me. Wink
It depends upon the match situation, i usually go for full house if i am wagging a bet on soccer, cricket, boxing and UFC and it depends upon the level of competition and usually if place a multi bet it will be from a combination of different sports i follow, sometimes it pays off big time and sometimes you would see upsets and it is part and parcel of sporting events.
