My suggestion is to include India, Australia, England, New Zealand, and Pakistan in the top division and to include the other 7 teams in the second division. 80% of the test matches should be played between teams within the same division, while the remaining 20% should be matches between first division and second division teams. And this will help in reducing the incidents of one sided matches.
These kind of differentiation will not help cricket simply because only a few nations play international cricket, if Pakistan is included then South Africa should be definitely included as they are a strong team in their home country and not every team can beat them in their home series. There was a time when India was only perform in their home series and now they have improved a lot, competition in domestic cricket can develop good players and India has done that and hence we are seeing the improvements and with the introduction of IPL there is a bigger pool of players for selection.

~snip
Unfortunately he can't cancel the bet because he lost in the first match usually there is no cancellation option if you lose at the start
However, if both bets win but the last bet being run is usually available cash out / cancellation
He said he was not able to withdraw the bet because his account was frozen and hence he lost the bet when his account was frozen, if not he would have minimized his damage before the match getting over, that is what i understand from the way he explained things and if i am wrong in my assessment i would like to know further what i missed here. Primary mistake was from the OP as the logged in from a self excluded IP and hence it is estimate the real damage, but since he wagged a bet i am not sure how to assess the damage.
2283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io freezes account right after placing 100mBTC bet!!!! on: October 11, 2019, 04:44:34 PM
So what bothers me most that because of them freezing my account I wasn't able to cancel my bet or at least to cash out with some loss. Mostly when I place 100mBTC or higher bets I always monitor my games closely so I can CashOut if im not comfortable with how the game is going. But because the froze my account I could not do that.
Since you had an active bet and you had the opportunity to cancel or cash out during the live game if you think that the game is not going your way you must be compensated, not sure what kind of compensation would be fair because the entire incident started with you logging from your friends IP who is also a member and then they freezes your account without giving you the opportunity to make any decisions, so it would be fair if they give you a free roll or a percentage for a free bet with a 1.5 odds.

You might be one of the few people in the world who actually thinks that South Africa still has a chance in this game. The only thing that can save South Africa currently is the rain and nothing else since they are already lost 3 wickets.
If i am inquiring about the declaration even after scoring 600 runs you came to a conclusion that South Africa has a chance to win the match  Roll Eyes. The reason i was saying is because India has put enough runs on the board and they need to put pressure back to the South African players because the team members were really tired after fielding for two days and India need to exploit that rather than delaying the declaration.

Changpeng Zhao is a Chinese and he owns binance. Therefore, in a sense it can be said to be a Chinese Exchange. That is my own opinion!
What kind of opinion is that, if someone is starting a company outside the country of his birth and registered elsewhere how can you call that company originated from the country of his birth  Roll Eyes. Changpeng Zhao is settled in Vancouver, Canada and studied in Canadian universities and you still think that binance is a Chinese exchange  Tongue. If you know his history you will not tell this as his father exiled from China and probably will not be going back.

Why do not you submit your case to Game Protect?
What is your point here, he should give you money and you will post message after message in the forum and you think that they will comply  Roll Eyes.
You have your own thread and why don't you provide all the proofs that you recovered the amount from the so called scam sites and then pitch for these sales.

Can you confirm that he cheated?
If yes, how did he cheat?
If you know that he did not cheat what are the information you have. If you have why don't you furnish that proof here rather than asking question after question without any response, response in the sense i have not seen you responding to some of the doubts asked earlier Tongue.

If he cheated i am sure they will submit the proof here, if the team has 6 million pounds to advertise a team they will not scam for silly amounts  Tongue.

Wow. This is Kohli's highest score so far in test matches and he is decimating the South African bowlers at the moment. On the other side, Jadeja is also on fire. At this rate, Kohli might be eyeing a triple century and then go on to declare the match.
What is the point in chasing personal milestones and they are delaying the declaration for Jadeja to score his century and Kohli to score his highest score and they have already scored 600 runs and still batting, they are batting at over 8 runs per over but if South African players can play these kind of innings then it will end up in a draw, the pitch is having some turn but the South African spinners are not able to take advantage of that and the fielding positions are not helping either as the Indian players are scoring these runs with ease.
2288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: October 11, 2019, 09:28:12 AM
South Africa looks really tired as they are bowling no balls even by spinners and now Kohli got lucky, not sure how many chances the Indian batsman got.
Really pathetic situation to see spinners bowling no balls and they are really tired because of the hot and humid climate, they increased their run rate now and they might declare the innings after Jadeja getting to his half century, there is no point in playing further and keep on accumulating runs, Jadeja just need one more run for his half century.

Edit: Jadeja scored his half century and still no declaration  Roll Eyes.

So Ben Askren will have a chance to prove that he is worthy to be in UFC as he will headline an event in October 26 and its in Singapore.
I was waiting to see his next fight as the last knock out was unexpected and that is the only way you can lure a wrestling based fighter and Jorge Masvidal played the mind games perfectly by holding his hands behind his back and then sprinting towards him and i was really shocked to see the fight ending within seconds.

Ben Askren is a big star in One FC but in UFC, he is not as special as he was treated in One FC. I hope he can redeem himself and ask for a rematch with Jorge Masvidal.
He is a popular fighter in the Asian circuits and he was a champion in Bellator too and UFC has some legit talents than the rest of these promotions and he will be having some tough competition inside UFC.

BTW Ben Askren has been twitting about Bitcoin lately.
Ben Askren is pro crypto from the start and he is an intelligent individual who takes investment seriously.

Despite how little trust there is left in the banking system, banks remain the best option to store your fiat wealth.
For a common citizen banking is the safest option when storing your wealth and the risk comes when you choose the banks you are planning to store your wealth, i will not select any private banks to deposit my money but would rather look for banks controlled by the central bank and i will only trust Bankitalia.

I personally haven't ever had a problem with my bank account, neither did I ever fear that anything would happen to my money. In most western countries the oversight on banks (especially publicly traded banks) is so tight that on a retail client level there isn't much to fear about. It gives people the peace of mind they're looking for.
These banking issues happened with private banks in the US during recession and this case is in India, these things happen in third world countries even if government regulated and controlled banks but not in my part of the world.

They can try hard, but what can be done when the opposing team is a few levels ahead of them, as far as the skills are concerned?
If the South African batsman can stay in the crease for a longer period of time and have the patience to defend and frustrate the Indian bowlers then they can go for a draw but winning the match with a bowling line up who does not pose any major problem to the experienced Indian players is worrying if you are a fan of South Africa. Morning session is important if South Africa need to have a grip on the match and if they are able to pick quick wickets then we will have an interesting day.
2292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany VS Argentina, International Friendly Match on: October 11, 2019, 03:44:24 AM
LOL  Cheesy During the second match the attack was done in the early minutes. I think this is a good start for Argentina, because they are getting used to it without messi. Indeed the two teams were not strengthened by their core players, but also this match was very interesting indeed.
The first half belong to Germany and the second half is won by Argentina, i did not expect Argentina to come back after Germany was leading from the first 15 minutes of the match and then Argentina rejuvenated in the second half and had a good defense and was able to level the score, even though it is a friendly match it was a good performance by Argentina to come back from behind and level the score.

Joanna Jędrzejczyk vs. Michelle Waterson
Joanna Jędrzejczyk is a really tough opponent for Michelle Waterson, i am going with Joanna Jędrzejczyk because she was a former champion.

            
Cub Swanson vs.   Kron Gracie
Kron Gracie is a black belt in BJJ from the Gracie family and we have an expectation that the fight will end on the ground.

            
Mackenzie Dern vs. Amanda Ribas            
I have not seen any fights of Amanda Ribas but i know Mackenzie Dern is a good ground fighter but someone said here that she is coming after a long gap and that too after giving birth to her child, so not sure what happens.

The rest of the fighters in this card, i have no idea.
2294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: October 10, 2019, 06:58:10 PM
I think South African bowlers are hardly finding any swing like the ones they have in South Africa which is why they might have just changed their strategy to short balls. India has a reputation of being weak against the short balls. Grin
India did have a bad reputation of having a weakness against short pitch bowling in the past but now a days majority of the players are good in the back foot too and in Indian pitches how much the short pitch bowling can cause issues, if it is a green wicket then they could have troubled the batsman, unless they play reckless shots against the short pitch bowling they will not fetch any wickets in this pitch.

Well.. no one can blame a particular team if they refuse to tour Pakistan. Terrorist attacks do happen in that country frequently. And Pakistan is not one of the top 3 countries in cricket for other nations to think about the revenue loss if they don't tour that country. Even many of the star Sri Lankan players had opted out of the tour due to security concerns.
Pakistan cricket board and the government is trying their best to restart their tarnished history of security but it is not going to be easy as the world saw what happened with the Srilankan team last time when they were ambushed by terrorist and if a sports team is not safe then how can you trust the general security in visiting in country and none of the top teams will visit them and even the ICC will not force any cricketing board to visit them.

India started really well and Agarwal is continuing his form and we might see another century from him, he is a good find for India and i do not understand why they including another fast bowler in Indian pitches when majority of the time they used to make pitches that help the spinners. Not sure we will see another repeat of the first test, if it is a batting pitch then it might end up in a draw.
2297  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Libra Disrupt The Financial/Economic System? on: October 10, 2019, 01:58:31 AM
How will the government get hold of all that personal information? Laws are in place that prevent them accessing it.

And if the govt can't get hold of it, they want to make sure that NOBODY can get hold of it, certainly not a rogue private company. Which is why they're going all out to stop Libra. While allowing bitcoin to continue.
You think that government does not have a tab of all the personal information about their citizens, which country you are from, they have all the bank account details and hence all your financial details and then they have all the family details and all the relevant data available and you think that if there is a centralized currency the government will not have the control over all the transactions  Roll Eyes.
Centralized currency like Libra will be controlled by the government, if they control the back end of the social media app is it that hard to have the back end of a centralized currency  Tongue.

And it looks like the government authorities have already moved in to limit the losses. Most of the accused are in police custody (Joy Thomas, Waryam Singh, Rakesh Wadhawan and Sarang Wadhawan). The authorities have also frozen assets worth ₹35 billion, which covers almost 80% of the losses made by the PMC Bank (₹43.55 billion).
What i do not understand is what were the authorities doing when all these issues were happening, it is a corrupted country and hence there is nothing alarming. Found the following online and it looks like they were looting in broad day light.

Quote
Two Rolls Royce cars worth nearly Rs 6 crore each and a Bentley Continental GT worth approximately Rs 2 crore were among a dozen cars seized. On Saturday the agency said it had also attached a private jet and jewelry worth Rs 60 crore.

If they are able to steal amounts like these from the bank, what about the balance sheets, they might be having links with the political system too and since the people started rioting the streets these came to light.

This is from his autobiography:

Quote
So what had happened? Had Vernon, who was officially classified as coloured, been selected ahead of Kyle, who was officially white, to ensure there were four players of colour in the semifinal? Or had the decision been made for purely cricketing reasons?

de Villiers was the captain back then, and this scandal had a very negative impact upon him.
This might be a political situation and we have seen these kind of quota being implemented in many countries like Zimbabwe and South Africa . we have to get rid of these kind of issues, the only thing we have to understand is that selection process should be strictly on the merit of the player and not on the basis of the skin color. If we start picking players on the basis of color then do these buffoon characters say that NBA too needs white players and not just black players and have a distinction  Roll Eyes.

I think we may see something afteral in future for Israel Adesanya vs Jon Jones fight.
There are more interesting match ups for Israel Adesanya and he has his hands full as there are a lot of talented fighters waiting in the ranks to face him before trying his luck in a different weight division, fighting against Jon Jones right now will be a suicide, Adesanya has the opportunity to make a legacy and be a dominant champion in his weight division and then think about facing anyone above his weight class.
