Bitcoin acceptance is always welcoming, because more the acceptance more will be the spreading about bitcoin. When more spread happens automatically people will continue to explore and understand better about bitcoin. Whenever one starts accepting bitcoin, he/she should have the ability to hold it rather than just cashing out to meet our needs. Also one should not expect the business acceptance to be good all of the sudden. The awareness about bitcoin acceptance is very low and for the reason it takes more time for better business to take place through bitcoin acceptance.

Now the score have reached 245/6 which is quite good compared to 85/4. Probably the innings of Australia could end within 300 runs. England have good chance of taking advantage of the match and lets see what happens.
Australia all out for 263 another collapse in the space of 18 runs and full credits goes to Mark Wood for cleaning up the Aussie tail end batsman and never giving them the opportunity to build partnerships. In return England lost their top 3 and Jonny Bairstow is playing a real patient innings, interesting to see how long this innings will last because defense is not their forte .
Mark Wood destroyed the tail with his high bounce and the fast. If Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh hadn't scored then the match could've been very interesting that both the team's first innings could've ended in the same day. The partnership between the two is the only score that had supported Australia team reach atleast 263 runs. I believed atleast 300+ runs will be reached as the tail order of Australia had performed well in the previous two test matches. England's top order collapse is a big problem for them.

I just finished watching the whole game, Ruud was superb though but Broady was in a beast mode, he was so caculative and prdictive, his service were on point and he was so precise with his game play, he played to his strength (Being left handed), he forced Ruud to dance to his tune, he tactically brought up a build up play, his service consistency helped him made some point through Ace, he won some games to Nil, in summary, Broady played a mind game against Ruud, he made sure he dictated the play throughout. He was so Superb, i'm predicting him to end up the competition at least as a top 4 player, Broady!!!  

yeah, Ruud did't play any match on grass before Wimbledon, and that was easy to spot today, while Broady is grass player, and showed his experience
nevertheless, it is hard to predict where Broady will end-up, he can lose next match

Wawrinka is in third round, nice to see, and we have real pleasure this evening, hopefully not changed to tomorrow, between Tsitsipas and Murray

That doesn't make sense, if he hadn't played any match on grass before Wimbledon. In such scenario he shouldn't have won two sets inbetween, Ruud played really well and he wasn't able to give the best in the deciding set and lost 6-0.

What is going on with Tsitsipas and Andy Murray. Each have won a set and the third set going on. Both the sets have moved to the tie breaker and in the third set Murray is ahead with a break point win. Really surprised as Tsitsipas is struggling and the points were 63-77 77-62 3-2

USA vs UAE Today's match was high scored by United Arab Emirates. UAE scored 308 runs for the loss of 4 wickets which is a really huge score. Right now USA is fighting for victory and they need only few runs so they will win the match. United States played a great game against UAE today and if they win today's match they will reach a good stage. If the United Arab Emirates came in at the last moment and did a little better bowling performance, it would have been a little difficult for the United States to win the match. But the way USA is batting at the moment, they definitely have a chance to win the match. USA have lost 7 wickets and currently need 11 runs from 6 balls to win the match which is not much. And if they can bowl well in the match then USA will be under some pressure and it will be very difficult to win the match. Looking at the performance of the game at the moment, it is understood that the USA will win because of their good batting performance, they have managed to collect good runs. But at the last minute fortunes turned around for USA with a fall of wickets due to which Vishal was under a lot of pressure.
In the last minute, the United Arab Emirates secured victory with the United States by 1 run.
Big score coming out of teams like UAE and USA is really great progress. Match that was into the hands of USA just changed once after the wicket fall of Gajanand Singh scoring 69 runs from 44 balls and Aaron Jones at 75 runs were the reason for the loss. Even after that things went closer as Nisarg Patel maintained the required runs. Two runs required from the last ball to win and the last ball ended with the wicket. The 1 run difference is not that big, however it is a win for UAE. These teams playing more and more matches will make the teams be a competing one in the future.

Tsitsipas vs Murray could be an interesting match. Everybody will cheer for Murray and as it is still early in the tournament, I think he can stand a chance. Tsitsipas is also not so consistent so there might some value on betting on Murray (or a handicap); need to check the odds.
The fight will take place today but I don't agree with you preferring Murray.
I think Tsitsipas will have more advantages and a chance to win because he is a player who is in 5th place, plus he is much younger than Murray.

On clay court Tsitsipas is my favourite and for this tournament he is still one of the favourites.
The winning bet option for Tsitsipas I still think it deserves to win.

I second that. They both surely deserve to win but Tsitsipas is much younger and arguably has more chances (some bookies don't think so). I hope everyone watched the Tsitsipas v Thiem thriller yesterday. That was a great 5 set match so intense wow.

Anyway, some exciting matches to watch today (my bet marked in bold):

Broady v Ruud
Murray v Tsitsipas
Zverev v Brouwer
Rublev v Karatsev
Medvedev v Mannarino
Etcheverry v Wawrinka
Cerundolo v Lehecka

Have fun watching and betting guys!  Cool
I'm watching the match between Broady and Ruud. The match is going close as Broady won the first set, followed by two set wins from Ruud. Now again Broady have won the fourth set. Deciding set is going to be a tough fight as both have played well in each and every set as the points were 6-4 3-6 4-6 6-3. Each set have been played 40+ minutes which could've made the players tiresome. Broady is at his best as he had won the break point and leads the deciding set 1-0.

England vs Australia
Today's 3rd Test match between the two teams has started. Australia now comes out to bat. Scored 147 runs in 38.1 overs. So far Australia has lost 4 strong wickets. Australia batsman David Warner is out for 4 runs off 5 balls. David Warner is batting.  Poor performance. Usman Khawaja is out for 13 runs in 37 balls. Marnus Labuschagne is out for 21 runs in 58 balls. Australia team's 4 strong batsmen are batting very poorly. Australia is under a lot of pressure in batting now. England bowling line is a lot.  Started performing well.

Australia was in trouble. At one point, they were 85/4. But now Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head are treating the England bowlers like the latter are from some fifth-tier associate nation. Mark Wood and Stuart Broad were so impressive earlier. But all of a sudden they lost their venom and started leaking runs. Ollie Robinson and Chris Woakes are being very ordinary. And the less we talk about Moeen Ali that better.

Edit: finally Chris Woakes managed to get the wicket of Mitchell Marsh.
Mitchell Marsh have played like an ODI scoring 118 runs from 118 balls. Following him Travis Head have lost his wicket at 39 runs. That was really a needed partnership, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh did it well. 100 runs partnership when there is continuous wicket fall adds more strength to the team. Now the score have reached 245/6 which is quite good compared to 85/4. Probably the innings of Australia could end within 300 runs. England have good chance of taking advantage of the match and lets see what happens.

Netherlands have won the match against Scotland in style. De Leede's awesome innings scoring 123 runs from 92 balls made it happen. Netherlands have qualified for the 2023 World Cup. Netherlands lost its fifth wicket at 163 runs, the partnership between de Leede and Zulfiqar is just excellent and it is 100+ runs in less than 12 overs. Big disappointment for Scotland as it was like a winning moment for Scotland at some point. That was a real fight as Netherlands, Scotland and Zimbabwe have the same point and Netherlands gets qualified on Net runrate.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: July 04, 2023, 02:15:20 PM
Disappointing as Zimbabwe lost the match against Scotland. The ground was in complete silence as Zimbabwe didn't qualify for the 2023 World Cup. The opening was a complete failure in chasing the easy target of 234 runs. Sole is awesome to break opening partnership taking 3 wickets. Scotland have managed to score good runs at the end overs. Those runs helped Scotland defend Zimbabwe. Burl and Raza tried to build partnership, but things didn't work as they calculated.

In the match between Nepal and Ireland the winning chance is high with Ireland as they need another 50 runs from 54 balls with 4 wickets in hand. Dockrell at 27 and Delany on the crease need to build the partnership than leaving to the bottom players.

Great match to watch. Alcaraz won the first two sets 6-0 and 6-2 against Chardy. The third set was a real fight as both kept taking consecutive points and Chardy missed break point when he was in lead 3-2 which then moved into the hands of Alcaraz. Finally the third set won by Alcaraz 7-5. The third set of the match have lasted for 59 minutes. Alcaraz winning the title would make him the third youngest player in the open Era to Win Gentleman's Singles Event.
470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: July 03, 2023, 11:38:46 PM
If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?
we will only feel sorry or remorse for losing or still losing, feeling sorry in my opinion is normal and it will automatically come out of us because we gamble hoping to win and make a profit.
regardless we have spent a little or a lot of money we will definitely feel sorry and remorse at some point.
Of course, in my opinion, we must be able to stay alert to our passions and control them so that we don't do things that are undesirable while carrying out gambling activities.
Whenever there is a loss we feel remorse, particularly when the amount we've spend is a needed one. Particularly we could've got some profit, even after that we keep on wagering with the plan to get some more and finally end up losing. This will really be heart breaking and our mind keeps murmuring we could've cashed out earlier, so that we could've avoided the loss. As stated we should have the understanding as well as the control while we're into gambling. When we don't have the control, it means we're on the wrong track and the act of feeling bad after gambling happens forever.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: July 03, 2023, 11:20:02 PM
If someone who is close to us or a friend circle referring me as a addicted gambler isn't a big issue. If a common man terms me a gambling addict then I won't find it good, because the person's view upon me will be different from what he had earlier. The society is developed in such a way that gambling money won't bring success as well as it is something against God and not the right thing. For this reason even my earnings through my job could be connected with gambling. Better is to hide our gambling activities and stay chill.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 03, 2023, 11:15:44 PM
Gambling is easy to quit when your mind is ready to make a decision not to gamble anymore. This can be done with the mind deviation, wherever you feel like gambling you should have an alternate to focus. This means while we're addicted to smoking and plan to stop all of the sudden it is difficult. For that a chewing gum is available which can be used wherever we feel the urge and the habit gets broken. Same as that we need to find an alternate through which gambling addiction can be quit. In most cases gamblers quit after facing big loss and they've the understanding that chasing the loss is a way to loss more and more.

Here steady income job is not the matter. The goodness lies on how you keep funds allocated for emergency and unexpected needs. How you allocated fund for medical insurance and retirement. One thing most people unaware of is the planning. Whenever you have the wrong plan, you gonna end it badly. This could make you work throughout your life. Proper planning lets you enjoy life through proper investment, early retirement and good savings to meet unexpected needs. Amidst the salary earned it is good to plan well with what you earn.

Banks were the centralized medium, but the usage of banks will help a lot in the progress of bitcoin adoption and support large scale usage. Whenever something is handled by banks it easily gains the trust. Banks have been termed to be a failed system, maybe they lack some essentials as well as take control of user funds. However the goodness it have provided to the people and to the countries were very big. This time the banks supporting bitcoin is a big positive move forward.
475  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop stressing kids with bitcoin on: July 02, 2023, 06:46:48 PM
Kids should never be forced to learn something. Initially discipline needs to be taught, then we need to observe them and understand the goodness in him. Kids need to be given their space, only then the kids will grow in a stress free manner. Making them understand something is good, but we should know whether it is necessary for now. Just on knowing bitcoin, the kids weren't gonna invest. Everything requires time, so that let them understand of their own at the right time.

It looked like Stokes would pull off another miracle just like way back in 2019, but that wasn't the case as I predicted since miracles happen extremely rarely. Smith dropping him earlier scared a lot of people.

I feel that the true game-changing moment was Bairstow throwing away his wicket in a bizarre manner. Looks like Australia is all set to retain the Ashes.
The team lost the match, but the performance from Stokes won hearts. Stokes could've won the match for England, because all his efforts have wasted. Stokes performance is something common and it isn't something unexpected. I was surprised by the performance of Stuart Broad. Once Stokes wicket fell, everything collapsed and Broad was caught out. The unwanted loss of Bairstow wicket is the major reason for today's match loss for England. Already it is like the series is won by Australia.
477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: July 02, 2023, 01:33:41 PM
Disappointing performance from Nepal team. While chasing the target of 181 runs, already lost 7 wickets scoring 114 runs. Opener Bhurtel alone have scored 35 runs. Now the bottom order Sandeep Lamichhane and Airee at 32* runs gives the winning hope, 68 runs required in the remaining 18 overs. UAE isn't that good at bowling, but in such situation if the pressure on Nepal is used well it can turn to be a winning match for UAE.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
Today is the fourth match of World Cup Qualifier Super Six Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka. Both teams have been playing well since the beginning of the World Cup qualifiers. Both teams are undefeated so far. A loss today would be the first defeat between these two teams in World Cup qualifiers. Both the teams have performed well and it is difficult to say which team will win. Sri Lanka is stronger than Zimbabwe in today's match. Sri Lanka's bowling line and batting line are better than Zimbabwe. I think the chances of Sri Lanka winning today's match are a bit higher.
Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
 The match between these two teams has already started. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl. Now Zimbabwe came out to bat. They scored 127 runs in 23 overs. Zimbabwe are now under a lot of pressure with the loss of 5 wickets. Sri Lanka has a lot of power in the bowling line.There is a possibility of Zimbabwe going all out in today's match. Zimbabwe has started to perform poorly in batting. It doesn't look like Zimbabwe will be able to set a target of 220 runs today.
Zimbabwe lost quick wickets as Madusanka took hold of the first spell taking three wickets. Then Sean Williams and Sikander Raza built good partnership and Raza fell at 31 runs, Williams lost his wicket at 56 runs. Going to be a difficult match for Zimbabwe and somehow the team will reach around 200+ runs. Zimbabwe can try to win the match, however this is going to be tough as Sri Lanka have got the better winning chance as the target isn't enough to defend.

England are in deep shit at the moment. Australia women won an amazing thriller earlier and it looks like the men will win this and keep embarassing the english in their own backyard despite their entertaining bazball approach.

Not expecting any miracles from Stokes etc like some of the posters above. Great comeback by Starc! Also, screw Pietersen for the whole concussion sub crap.
Miracles happening in T20 is possible, but in test format cricket it is something impossible. Stokes and Duckett have added few runs, and to reach the target is not a possible thing. Earlier Australia Women played well and won the match against England Women. In that match it was the lack of bowling and mistakes on field were the reason for the loss of England Women team. Within few hours the match will resume and we can get the perfect outcome of the match within the first ten overs bowled.
480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto another form of gambling? on: July 01, 2023, 05:53:34 PM
For people who doesn't have the proper understanding about cryptocurrency and the market will simply say crypto is another form of gambling. I have experienced it in real time during a conversation. I introduced bitcoin to a brother and he had interest, but for some reason he wasn't able to buy and it got skipped. Now whenever he meets me he used to say I could've bought earlier when you said about it for the very first time. During that time another friend was with him and he briefed the past story with him, how high the price have moved in the short time period. Suddenly he stated this is kind of gambling and I tried to convince him, but he isn't ready to accept it.

When I asked him the reason why you mentioned so, his answer "The market is based on the demand to supply basis, however the real growth is connected to it for some percentage, apart the growth is happening on its own and none were able to identify it" and he said with stock market the value bounce depending on the growth of the particular company.
