Still can't pick between Darren and Kevin.
I am picking Kelvin Gastelum to win the fight as Darren Till is moving up in weight division after having losses in 170 pound division and he is basically a striker and Kelvin Gastelum was never stopped in any fights and his fight against Israel Adesanya was a display of his chin to hold up even after getting blasted multiple times and he has the wrestling pedigree to defeat Till in his Middleweight debut.

It is the same in life that cannot be separated from the bank because when I want to withdraw money I need a bank. although indeed in developed countries there are already those who can make payments using bitcoin and they feel life with crypto. but in my country still does not support payments using bitcoin or altcoin because the government prohibits using other than the applicable currency
Yes i can understand your concerns and not every store is accepting bitcoin and i am of the opinion that we need a combination of the banking structure as well as the crypto market, government banning bitcoin is one thing and i bet you will be still trading bitcoin as no government can completely ban a decentralized currency like bitcoin and so is the reason developed countries are yet to take any drastic steps.

I don't really think that you can associate a sport with how tech savvy its viewers are. Cricket has always been a gentlemen's game if you watch it properly and get the intricacies of it .
I wonder how you went back and took this specific post to respond which is posted months ago  Roll Eyes. Either way coming to the point it is just a sport and view it as part of entertainment when you are having some free time and we all see sports in that context to relax from the hurdles and stress.
Not sure how you differentiate sports into categories.
cricket- Gentleman's game
Football- Hooligans game
Golf, F1- Rich mans game
Kabaddi - poor mans game

These are just terms added by the media or a concept in the minds of the general public and majority of these terms comes from the roots of these sports, cricket was started by the English and they conquered the world and they planted the seed where ever they went and these people were looked upon as upper hierarchy because they ruled the place where they conquered and hence they were called as gentleman and that is the brief history since you brought up this Tongue.

Cricket fans are not very tech savvy
which sport needs tech savvy people to watch the sport Roll Eyes.

Alex de Minaur was no match for Federer and was simply outclassed, I was hoping that he could at least give Federer a challenge but it wasn't to be. Federer doesn't look like slowing down and I also think that he will eventually break the record for most titles and that could happen next year if he is able to stay fit and healthy.
Age is not slowing down Federer and the young Minaur was completely outclassed and he showed the difference between class and experience and as some of the opinions earlier it is a learning curve for the young Minaur as he is in his younger days of his career if he will take this as a learning experience then he will be able to improve his game, classic as always Federer as a fan i cherish these moments as we are witnessing greatness.

“ Fight of the Night: Demian Maia vs. Ben Askren”
Are you serious? I, peronally, didnt like the fight. I wonder if it is possible NOT to choose the fight of the night and pay the bonus Smiley
If all the fights end up in a decision and nothing interesting and two fights end up in a submission they would choose that and it is fair to give out bonus to those fights because majority are not winning huge amounts when compared to super stars, i agree that the Demian Maia vs Ben Askren was not the best fight this year but it was the in this fight card as both these fighters were going at each other from the starting bell until Ben Askren continued his sleeping ways just like his last fight Cheesy.

Do you think that Fury stepping into WWE will have tainted his reputation and claim to be the GOAT of this generation?
There is no way i will say that Tyson Fury stepping into WWE will taint his reputation, it is the other way around, his popularity and charisma is why he is in the entertainment business and will earn him some drama fans as well. I consider Tyson Fury as the best technical boxer in the heavyweight division in this generation and really good person who donated his last fights entire purse to charity.

@ene1980. Everyone wait until Dana White and the Fertitta brothers begin their boxing takeover hehehe. They will take 1 fighter and make him the biggest heavyweight goat in boxing history.

I am expecting that take over too as Dana is talking about it for a long time and the Fertitta brothers will be planning the same as they made a fortune when they sold the UFC.
2227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II on: October 26, 2019, 12:36:05 AM
The goat is difficult to assess because the best in boxing are not fighting the other bests in boxing. You are a fan of Tyson Wilder, I am also, however, he is not the goat unless he fights Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua, who will win versus Andy Ruiz on December 7, and wins.
What ever be the case the heavyweight boxing is at an all time great spot after a very very long time, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Joshua are talked about and trying to claim the goat status and we never had those competition in a very long time in boxing and hence the sport of boxing is making a resurgence and now Tyson Fury is stepping into the WWE too  Cheesy .

What a bummer...  Besides McGregor I heard Leon Edwards' name thrown out there as one of the possible replacements.  But it wouldn't be as huge as Masvidal vs Diaz.  
McGregor stepping in would make the event more yuuuge.
It is true that it will not be that huge to be a main even if there is no replacement like fighters of Nate Diaz or McGregor status. From what i see Nate Diaz released the story to the media rather than the USADA or the UFC releasing those and if Nate would not have done that i really think that the UFC had carried on with the fight, we all know Brock Lesnar for flagged and UFC kept that silent and went on with the fight and later Mark Hunt came to know about that and now he is fighting against them in court.

Earlier, the Indian players used to participate in county cricket occasionally to get experience on foreign pitches. But now the BCCI is no longer allowing this practice. They feel that if they allow the players to participate in the domestic leagues controlled by the foreign boards, then the BCCI revenues may take a hit. So ideally they should organize B team tours to countries such as England and Australia. But form what I can see, they are not doing that as well.
I am not exact how true this statement is because earlier there were international off season for players to go to England and play county cricket but now the cricket schedule is so tight there is literally no off season as there is cricket round the clock throughout the year and then there is franchise T20 leagues and that is the reason other than the cricket board not allowing due to financial concerns.
2230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So what will happen to Bitcoin? on: October 25, 2019, 06:20:05 PM
When it comes to the discussion of Bitcoin shifting from it true intention of becoming a world digital currency to an investment for monetary gain; we investors have ourselves to blame for it.
To become the world digital currency we need more development so that everyone is able to send the transaction in a short period of time and with lower transaction fees, we have low transaction fees now but to become a world digital currency you need more development to be done and if people are holding the money thinking about monetary gain you cannot blame them.

Truth is that, majority of those who are holding Bitcoin or investing in it are in it for the money more reason we see constant price prediction. Hopefully, years to come, this perception will come to change to it true form.
Investment is all about making money be it forex stock or crypto everyone is trying their best to make the maximum benefit and it is impossible to change that perception.

Khabib would not even fight with Conor, and Conor odes not deserve that rematch anyway.
I predict that next fight he will lose again, no mater who his opponent will be.
I am not expecting a rematch with Khabib either but there are plenty of fighters for Conor to fight anyway, he can rematch with Dustin Poirier or a title fight against Max Holloway which is another rematch, then there is option for a fight with Justin Gaethje or he can even fight Rafael dos Anjos as they were scheduled to fight anyway earlier but was changed as Rafael dos Anjos pulled out of the title fight due to injury and then there is the third fight between Nate Diaz, so there are many fights left for Conor McGregor and these fights will be record breaking shows even without fighting Khabib.

Am expecting Australia to win this one quite easily since they are in a different league when compared to Pakistan at the moment. Warner is the key player here and if he gets going, Australia will be flying high.
I am not expecting a different result either as Australia called back Smith and Warner will be playing his natural game and if they loose wickets then Smith will play the anchor role to hold the team together.

I find it odd that Ashton Turner got an opportunity so quickly after recording 5 ducks in a row a couple of months back. This is weird and am not expecting much from him frankly speaking.
Ashton Turner is a clean striker of the ball and in T20 he will be an asset in this shorter format of the game, they are giving him an opportunity and if he can perform then he will be in the team for the world cup.
2233  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin hit a new low since 2018 on: October 25, 2019, 09:55:19 AM
Far from being likely to return like 2018 to $ 3300, Bitcoin will target bullrun in the coming months, and I think the lowest bitcoin price of $ 7,000 will not exceed that.
There is no guarantee that the price of bitcoin will not go down $7000, it is a global market and it has its own risk, even if there is a correction now there is nothing to worry in the long term as the price will recover and everyone knows that and so is the reason we are not seeing massive sell off compared to the earlier price charts. If the market continue to perform badly we might even go down to $5k and it all depends on the next few day of market trends.

What about your option upcoming t20 series between Sri Lanka vs Australia, because of Sri Lankan team have good records in t20 matches and they have played t20 series with Pakistan and won the series 3-0, the same things are going to repeat with Australia?.
Playing in Australia is a different ball game all together for Sri Lanka, Steve Smith is back in the international T20 team after 2016 and if Warner finds his form then it will be difficult for Sri Lanka, they white washed Pakistan with a young team but defeating Australia is a tough task and Australia too having some young players like Ashton Turner and this will be a good test for both teams to test and finalize the best team for the upcoming world cup.
2235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this why Bitcoin is crashing? on: October 24, 2019, 09:52:33 PM
Well, maybe crashing isn't the right word - but it's definitely dropping in price. Here's a cool overview of what's happening:
My key takeaways:
  • September is typically a bad month
I was waiting for your response after the flash crash today, the same happened in October and the market is struggling to move forward, is it because of the past historical data that the price is going on or is it the natural trend at this time  Wink. Now we do not have any negative news other than the quantum supremacy news and the Libra (Mark Zuckerberg) being scrutinized by the congress Grin.

I successfully received 1M TRX as promised. Therefore Sportsbet.io is a company OF THEIR WORDS. I dont see any reason why they should scam someone for 16 usd hihi Smiley
It is really impressive and congrats on your win, you might be an expert to win the competition and why don't you start a tipping thread here so that people can follow your tips and make their decision  Wink. Sportsbet is a reputed company and they are spending millions to sponsor Watford and if they have the capacity to do that they are not going to scam for small amounts.

@ene1980 it’s obvious that the welfare committee is corrupted, otherwise the players wouldn’t have taken such a steep step against them. As for their other demands I feel those are reasonable, and I’m glad those are now approved as no cricketer should be forced to play against his will.
Even if the welfare committee is corrupted does the players have the authority to conduct a strike to move them, not heard any sports team conducting a strike like this to remove a committee in football, cricket or any other sport that i remember in recent history, if the Bangladesh players are able to change these concepts and make a change it is great.
2238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: October 24, 2019, 01:19:54 PM

It's not only about pay structure, there are some more, which have been attached below. I have heard in a news that Bangladesh is the 4th richest cricket board although it's being shown as 5th here- https://sportycious.com/richest-cricket-boards-world-91423
These are not small demands Roll Eyes, striking for the welfare committee to resign is not a small demand and they accepted it  Shocked, not sure whether they were so corrupted to force them to resign. The restriction for players to play than two franchise league was unwarranted and those freedom should be in the hands of the player and then the rest are regarding pay structure and timely payment which are fair.

several teams were banned when there was a match fixing scandal in the IPL and CSK was also banned during that time if i am not wrong. 
It is true that the team is banned because one of the administrative members were caught placing illegal bets and they got banned for two years on that grounds but other than that nothing is public and none of the players from CSK were banned so not sure what happened. There were many controversial things throughout the history of the tournament and whether the CSK players were involved is still a mystery. 
2240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: October 24, 2019, 06:36:42 AM
Ban vs Ind series was at risk for a while but good news is that board has been agreed to fulfill all the 11 demands of the cricketers and have promised to ensure better environment for them. Now players are back. It's very unusual that they were being paid lower amount despite being 4th richest cricket board. Anyway, good to see the problem is solved.
So the strike was regarding the pay structure and the cricket board accepted the players demands Shocked. What are these 11 demands by the players apart from increase in the payment, really Bangladesh is the 4 th richest cricket board  Shocked, first will be India i guess as they control most of the things for a long time and then England and Australia could be in the list if i am not wrong.
