661  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: May 22, 2023, 06:17:29 PM
I think side jobs are very necessary, I feel it myself. I currently work as a private employee, and the salary I get is certainly not enough to meet all household needs, therefore I need a side job, especially when I have free time after I work at my main job. On the other hand, by having a side job, we are not worried if one day unexpected things happen, such as a reduction in employees, at least we can still have the side job that we have been doing so far. and for employees who already have a large salary, I think they also have to have a side job, of course they will have higher necessities of life that must be met every day. because basically people will find it more difficult to lower their lifestyle than to increase it
Be it side hustle or business, an employee needs another means money. There is high level of inflation in the society and if you are not a high ranked employee, your salary may not be able to sustain your needs and wants. This is the reason why everyone needs a sidel hustle as my country men will call it to sustain them.
More the streams of income, more will be the stability of life. The growing inflation is a major reason, another thing is to go with the development. When we have single income, then it is possible to have our life moving and there won't be life change or transition to next level of living. Just think of making a small earning through trading, it will separately add to our finance. What we earn primary will help in the survival whereas the additional earnings help with the betterment of life.

It would be very nice if Messi would play football here, but where 1 sheep is over the dam, many will follow as the saying goes. I wouldn't rule out that, to be honest. But perhaps not all footballers are only after money. In this competition you naturally have little challenge from a sporting point of view, only the Asian Champions League could still be a nice challenge, but apart from that it ends somewhere I think. And Ronaldo and Messi face each other again in a match, when will we see side by side again?
Messi would undoubtedly be the new King of this League, for now the reign is held by CR7, in general the areas have been very happy to see CR7 in action on their land, as far as I am concerned, it is the land where they are, I think that the best decision for CR7 is that he left for this Arab football, in Europe he may have done badly, if Ten Hag, who for me is a very bad coach, made him look bad, then I think he wanted to be famous at the expense From him, these things are not good, but it is clearly seen to be so, I hope that Messi can reach Arab football and can be protagonists alongside CR7, even against his team.
There is lot of discussion whether Messi will enter the Saudi Arabia Pro League or not. As said his presence will sure be big thing for the league after Ronaldo's entry. Earlier Ronaldo made a statement, it is time to have good football in the Asian circle and he have come for that. As his words, after him more people have begun to watch football where cricket is dominant. Messi supporting the same will help in the growth of more footballers. The talk about Ronaldo could've never been this high if he continued to play for Manchester United.
663  Economy / Economics / Re: The Role of Education in Financial Literacy on: May 21, 2023, 11:39:25 PM
IMHO, Education is just a preparation to become a potential candidate to have a day job but not for financial literacy. We can just learn Financial literacy if we already have some job experience and most of all, if we can talk or engage with businessmen. Because what it teaches in school is to become competitive and make good grades so we can easily get a job but not be encouraged to become an entrepreneur. But of course, a proper education can't lead you to success and so it was still important in our life.


Education as stated is not limited four walls of schools.  Though formal education is what you called it, another form of learning comes from informal education where the one being learned and trained is a personal capability and mostly relies on experience.   All the examples you have stated are an example of informal education.

All in all, whether it is formal or informal education, they both help us in learning and understanding what financial literacy is.

This is how what we learnt becomes effective. We'll understand the real concepts only when the theoretical learning meets with the real time application. This means the formal education lets a kid to know the need and the experience lets him choose the right decision to handle the situation.

With financial literacy things were made easier to understand through the technology advancement. In the past to know about specific calculation is a hard thing. There are people who are successful by their experience, and that doesn't mean education isn't necessary. Because there is difference in view over a problem by a educated person and an experienced person.

Gambling ads mostly depend on the regional data. In my country we have got a big number of gambling platforms, and we can see ads related to gambling quite often. In recent days this has got decreased as our state have banned gambling platforms. Most of the times ads pop based on what we are watching and based on the area in which we've made more searches. Once we start reporting as inappropriate or repetitive, we can avoid getting those video ads.

Finally it was Medvedev vs Runs as the match against Tsitsipas ended 7-5 7-5. In the upcoming tournaments we can expect Alcaraz to reach the finals, if not we can see Rune playing it. The young players of tennis are very energetic and have got all capabilities to play good tennis and stay on the top for years. For now they should keep themselves away from injuries which were inevitable with sports.

Medvedev Vs Rune

The match is underway and one set has been completed. Medvedev is currently leading because he got the win in the first set. This is going to be a very close encounter between both of them. I honestly believe that this is going to be very close and also is going to go to the third set.

I also expected this match go to the third set. Fortunately Medvedev have won it earlier on direct set wins. In the second set Medvedev have got four match points as the points were 0 : 40. Finally 7-5 7-5 and the title is won by Medvedev, and Rune needs to learn more. In the previous encounter between the two, it was Rune who won the match and this time it is Medvedev.

In a must win match situation rain have interrupted in Chinnaswamy stadium which is the venue of the match between RCB and Gujarat Titans. In such hard situation luck isn't favouring RCB. The rain needs to stop at the earliest, if not the over reduction and pitch changes will surely make big impact on the match. If the match gets cancelled, one point will be shared to each team and this ends RCB with 15 points and Mumbai Indians easily qualify for the playoff as they've reached 16 points with the win against SRH.
The good news for RCB fans is that after the rain the outfield is fully ready for play and both teams have already entered the field for the game. Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to field. Today's match is very important for RCB. If RCB wins this match then they will secure number four in the points table and if today's match is lost or abandoned due to rain then Mumbai Indians will qualify. Because Mumbai Indians are at number four in the table with 16 points so far and if RCB can win today's match then RCB will have 16 points but considering NRR RCB will qualify for playoffs this is the equation. At the end of the first over, RCB collected 6 runs.
Finally rain haven't caused big disturbance. Even the overs weren't reduced which is the best thing and a lucky moment for RCB. It could've been a big disappointment for RCB supporters. This season of IPL hasn't got much disturbance out of weather. Only one match ended without result. RCB will play very carefully, atleast 200+ runs gives bowlers the opportunity to bowl well. When the target is low automatically the pressure can be seen high on the bowlers. In four overs RCB have reached 43/0 which looks good.

If you have missed it... yesterday Medvedev has made an ugly ballet at the end of the match... https://twitter.com/TennisTV/status/1660024454846504960 according some newspaper and tennistv this was a "revenge" for another ugly ballet made by Tsitsipas in Cincinnati 2022.
For sure there is space for improvement Roll Eyes for both player dance abilities Wink
Here in Roma is raining probably the final will played with One/two hours of delay ...
They're more childish in their activities. As a result some have mentioned rain dances and the match have got delayed citing the incident.
Throughout the tournament several rain interruption happened. In the semifinals between Medvedev and Tsitsipas the match got delayed 5+ hours. The latest is the final. After all this, official announcement on the construction of roof have come. The constitution of roof will start at the earliest and can be seen by the 2026 tournament.

It was during the Monte Carlo Masters quarter finals, Medvedev played against Holger Rune. In the match Rune was able to win the match easily 6-3 6-4. In the finals Rune lost to Rublev after a hard fight 7-5 2-6 5-7. We can expect today's match to be close fighting and the winner be decided. This year we've seen more number of matches ending with unexpected results.

Medvedev is in good form and he has the highest odd against Rune. However I think this match to be a win for Holger Rune.
669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Premier League #IPL on: May 21, 2023, 12:45:56 PM
Sunrisers Hyderabad perform like this towards the end of every season. Initially they performed poorly and got eliminated from the playoffs. Later, when the other team needed a win in the equation, SRH performed very well and today was no exception. They managed to score 200 runs in 20 overs against Mumbai Indians. By MI has to make 10 runs per over.  
153 out of 200 runs scored by the opening pair. The way they batted, it looked like they might not get out in this match, but in the end, the two were bowled out for 153 runs together.  

There is already a big pressure for Mumbai to win this match today, then it will be difficult for Mumbai Indians to win this match due to the huge target of the opponent.
Very important match for Mumbai Indians. SRH have a good batting line-up, but they don't have effective bowling that have the ability to bowl based on the target. Even in the previous match against RCB, the team managed to score 186 runs which is good to defend. What happened is the winning of RCB losing just two wickets. Even in today's match the start was good with the wicket fall of Ishan Kishan. Mumbai Indians have come back to form with Cameroon Green back to form scoring 42* runs in 15 balls.

He thinks that even if the United States, Canada and Mexico make similar efforts, it will not be like Qatar. But they are trying. These issues came to light on May 17.  2026 Football World Cup logo was officially unveiled there. For those who haven't seen the World Cup 2026 football log yet, I've attached it.
The 2026 world cup will be a unique and interesting one - 3 countries hosting it and looking forward to what it would look like. Will they be able to top what Qatar did? In terms of the quality of the stadium, security and all. With regards to the logo which was unveiled somedays back, my opinion on this is that it's the worst logo in World Cup history. It would have been suitable for the 2030 or another distant year edition, but for this World Cup, I don't see it as very original and creative. Besides, it's evident that they didn't even make an effort to create that logo.
We can't easily downgrade them. Qatar doesn't had good number of infrastructure and for that reason it spend a lot as well as started its work long years back. With the upcoming FIFA World Cup host nations, they already have got good infrastructure. All that needs to be done is just making things better as people from all around the world will be visiting the country.

As said the logo doesn't had much of creativity. Just the 26 is added to showcase it to be the 2026 World Cup. Apart it is just the World Cup that is made as the logo. We don't know what relies behind, maybe it too have got wrapped meaning within it.

Give your opinion on this

3 more matches left in the SPL before it really ends for the season, Al-Ittihad leads the SPL standings with 63 points, followed by Al-Nassr who is in second place with 60 points. The distance of 3 points is not a long distance, it is only equivalent to 1 match. But, do you think Cristiano Ronaldo & Al-Nassr are capable of winning the SPL title this season? Al-Nassr's remaining 3 matches are against Al-Shabab, Ettifaq and Al-Fateh.
We can't be sure of the match outcomes. These days it is common to see more matches turn against the favourites. The matches left seems to be highly competing for Al-Nassr. Particularly the team Al-Shabab stands next to Al-Nassr in points table, so the match outcome can't be cent percent confirmed. Rest of the matches also tough, but Al-Nassr have got upper hands. Same as the efforts from Al-Nassr there'll be added efforts from Al-Ittihad to keep its position. Lets see what the outcome of the Saudi Arabia Pro League.

Rune is the in-form player, but in cases like these I simply can't ignore their H2H's.
I like Ruud at 2.40 odds, and I like 2:0 to Tsitsipas against Medvedev at 2.65 odds as well.
I'll play both separately, so I need only one to pass. Hoping they both do, ofc Grin
Ruud was a bit off this season so I hope Rune takes him. Need that result for our BSFL competition but not betting on it Smiley

Medvedev on the other hand is playing best clay season ever in his life and he actually looks ok. I watched a couple of his matches and he had really good consecutive points. Granted he still had some downs and too much unforced errors and I expect Tsitispas to capitalize on that. But I went for more secure ML @1.8, feel like both matches will be really close today.

The first set was a really hard fought win by Ruud. He really worked hard to get the first set against Rune.
But after that, Rune was the one who started performing really well.
Rune won both the second and third sets. And he is now in the finals.

The match between Medvedev and Tsitsipas has been suspended. Still not sure who will go through to the final.
I do want to see Medvedev in the finals against Rune.
Finally it was Medvedev vs Runs as the match against Tsitsipas ended 7-5 7-5. In the upcoming tournaments we can expect Alcaraz to reach the finals, if not we can see Rune playing it. The young players of tennis are very energetic and have got all capabilities to play good tennis and stay on the top for years.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal. Unfortunately Arsenal players did not play well. Their passes were random. Arsenal fell behind by 1 goal against Nottingham Forest in the first half of the game. Later both teams could not score any more goals. In the second half of the game, Arsenal's players attacked several times, but they could not penetrate the defense of Nottingham Forest.  However, there is nothing to be disappointed about Arsenal's defeat in this match
Since Nottingham Forests win vs Arsenal today, the betting odds for tomorrow Manchester City against Chelsea have changed. Win Chelsea was x9.5 before the game and now at x8.25. Who would have thought that Arsenal loses today. Now Manchester City has won 1 of 3 titles. The Party goes maybe into the night for the player and that‘s why the chance of a win by Chelsea is higher.
Big disappointment for Arsenal. The goal have come at the 19th minute and further both the teams weren't able to make a goal. One of the important match as it could've taken the points of Arsenal close to Manchester City. Arsenal have lost big matches continuously and it started with the lose against Manchester City. Next the lose was against Brighton and now it is against Nottm Forest. When underdogs make noise, automatically we can see underdog odds varying.

If the Operator needs to stop the gambler, then how could things work for the operators. Maybe that particular website might've got set its own terms of service. Gambling is pure business for its owners, so they never intend to stop a gambler in between his wagering activities.

If someone stops a gambler citing his limits were crossed, who gonna use the same platform again. What if a gambler is on his winning streak and suddenly the casino operator requests to stop wagering. What will happen, this is completely unacceptable by the gamblers. Anyhow it is every gamblers responsibility to understand the platform's terms of service and start using it.

Luck is also important along with the hard work and smart work. In my personal experience when we go with our hardwork and smartwork we will be able to be rich and turn successful in life and profession. This takes time, but the luckiest will be able to achieve what we've achieved in a short time period. This is simple as a hero's son getting an opportunity to act in a movie and a common man getting opportunity to act in a movie. The common man need to be lucky or else he should work hard for years and later he can be seen on movies.

PCB seems to be desperate to increase their revenue and a series between India and Pakistan can be life-changing for them. But the problem is that such a series is not important for the BCCI, who are swimming in wads of money (IPL media rights, increased allocation from the ICC and now the next cycle of bilateral media rights is up for auction). The silver lining for PCB is that their financial condition is set to improve, as the ICC has increased allocation by 116%, from $16 million per year (2015-23) to $34.51 million per year (2024-27 period).  

PCB is not happy with ICC new revenue distribution model as Najam Sethi wants clarity on how figures are calculated. PCB chairman saying that we have no objection on India getting bigger share but ICC must tell how these figures are calculated. The amount of money BCCI is getting from IPL, I think 231 Million USD are not a huge money for them.

PCB is the only board that tries to get some answers. The distribution is fair, and most have got good increase in the allocation. This could help with the improvement. However the difference between what India received against the other teams is really big. PCB had delayed its PSL, maybe if they've started it earlier they could've got good revenue by now. Because in terms of cricket supporters we were able to see a good number in Pakistan.

Yes, this is true, but there is a logical explanation for this - many residents of third world countries after entering the United States will "get lost" and stay there illegally. By the way, I don’t know how it is now, but earlier, for everyone entering the US legally, vaccination (from covid) was mandatory, and for illegal immigrants who crossed the border and demanded citizenship/asylum, there was no such requirement  Grin Thus, it was safer to enter the US illegally.

There are many people who think letting America host the 2026 world cup was a wrong decision and that they will have problems visiting this country to watch the World Cup games but I disagree and I think since America got the experience of hosting other great tournaments, they won't disappoint us and we are going to see a better world cup than what we saw in Qatar.

I am 100% sure that in terms of organization in the US everything will be at the top level. In terms of the quality of the competitions held (probably in all sports), this is the country No. 1 and, of course, they will also hold the World Cup at the highest level. But the problem with a visa is a problem of a different order, and there will definitely be dissatisfied people who, for one reason or another, will not be able to get it.

Hopefully, the FIFA council can find some ways to resolve this kind of problem because World Cup being a business, they sure want as many people as possible to see and watch the event because that will also mean that there's a lot of money that will flow to their pockets. Although I doubt that they can really fix it as this problem already falls down to the US and Canada's jurisdiction because safety and security must be ensured first. 

But I'm sure it's up to America and Canada about how they want to organize the people who visit this country to watch the world cup games, FIFA let America host the 2026 world cup and that's why I'm sure they will find a way to solve this problem about getting a visa to this country and that's not the first time for America to host a great event like the world cup.
In the past America have hosted various events, when it comes to FIFA it gets the world's attention. Other major events will be mostly based on specific continent, so organising those events in a grand manner isn't a big thing for a country like America. When it comes to FIFA, it is to be considered about the travel, accomodation and particularly the cost. Just because more people are getting into the country everything could get hike in value. These are the responsibilities the governing body should consider so that people from all around the world reach America to watch football.

Chelsea will face Manchester city in tomorrow game where this game will take place at the Etihad stadium. do you believe Chelsea can stop Manchester city's winning trend of course they have the opportunity to do that but it's impossible to come true.  lol
Gonna be the hardest match for chelsea very soon. Manchester city will be also coming with full power against chelsea. The fact that if manchester city really need to win this game to celebrate its winner of EPL this season. There have been some problems that have occured to the chelsea.
Some key players are doubtfully able to playing against manchester city. There are some names like badiashile will not play against city caused by he has been injured.
In all its recent matches Chelsea have lost, against Nottm Forest it ended in a draw and against Bournemouth it won after a big interval. With this performance and important players under dilemma about their participation into the match makes it an easy match for Manchester City. The team is very strong at the moment with all its recent matches won. The important one being the win against Arsenal.

Italian open women's final is between Rybakina and Kalinina. It was an easy win(6-2 6-4) for Rybakina against Ostapenko in the semifinals to reach the finals. In the other match it was Kudemtrova vs Kalinina, who is ranked 30. Tough fighting game between the Russian and the Ukranian. At the end it was Kalinina to win the match 7-5 5-7 6-2 and she dedicated the win to the homeland Ukraine. Rybakina is in good form and I'm sure the title gonna be won by her.

But the problem with a visa is a problem of a different order, and there will definitely be dissatisfied people who, for one reason or another, will not be able to get it.

One reason for us to make sure about the quality of the 2026 world cup is because America hosting this event, people from all over the world watch the games and since America wants to prove they still can host a great event with better quality than others countries, I think American will try to be a better host than Qatar. 
Even if the football is host by any of the small country that isn't good in economy will do its best. This means they always focus to make it better than the previous season unlike which country is the host. This time expectation over USA is high and I'm sure it'll be fulfilled. However the goodness that people experienced with Qatar football can't be felt with FIFA in USA. In each and everything USA could lead, but it'll be hard for people to reach USA same as how they reached Qatar to watch the matches.
