The 90s was really dark period in world cricket due to match-fixing, many teams were facing at least some sort of allegations and Pakistan was on top in this regard so there might be some truth to it.

We know how many match-fixing allegations were popping up against the Indian players and some proved to be correct.
Yeah.. it was a very turbulent period. Dawood and his gang were openly fixing matches with tacit approval from the boards. He used to visit the stands at Sharjah cricket stadium, when the matches were in progress and no one would say anything. After a lot of outcry, 2-3 Indian players were handed down suspensions (Jadeja, Azharuddin.etc) for their role in match fixing. But nothing happened to them. After a few years these bans were overturned and the fixers got plum posts within the state cricket boards. It was the small fish like Cronje and Boje who got punished. Cronje even lost his life in a very suspicious accident. A few years later, Bob Woolmer also died under mysterious circumstances.
No one can do anything against these mafias because they have strong influence and power around the globe which works for them and with this all they can bring changes in anywhere specially in Asian region because here we have not strong judicial system and mostly political parties are also involved in this dirty game as well which is another story but as we have too much involvement in this game few decades back now all shifted due to new franchise system which is much better and safer for these mafias.

Recently we have still many rumors about few things, but now it's all mostly for the media intention because balance of power is completely balances and things are happening through top level which is giving all parties their share, so now we have no voices about this all.

Nothing compares to the rush of the roulette' turn, the melody of dealt cards, and the vision of stacked poker chips.

But if you're drawn to online casinos, who am I to critique? Comfy at-home betting, sans public scrutiny - I see the attractive. But can it truly match the brick-and-mortar casino thrill? Unlikely!

I grasp that family obligations and societal nudges can steer someone online. But is that just yielding to preset standards? Shouldnt we endorse what really exhilarates us?
It all boils down to the personal preferences and choice of an individual, a person would probably not like gambling online if they have been doing it in physical casinos for years, but someone who is an internet worm and has never been so active and a fan of the physical world would surely go with online casinos, it also depends on what's more convenient for someone who is about to gamble.

If you find it more convenient to drive to a physical casino and spend a few hours gambling and drive back home, that's surely what you would do since you enjoy it, but if someone finds online casinos more convenient since they might also don't have a casino around their home and they might also feel more comfortable gambling while sitting at home.

Of course not all online casinos operate ethically. There have been cases of rogue or unlicensed casinos that engage in unfair practices, such as manipulating game resultsin the roulette. That's why it's crucial to choose a reputable and licensed online casino that has a positive track record and good reputation on this forum. Thanks for sharing information as well, it is important that we all try to keep safe.
They know that getting a license can make them exposed and caught easily once they done something inappropriate so they choose to not get it and fortunately they still can get a customer for this because usually non-licensed casinos are not strict and they never require a KYC. The only downside is the games that can be unfair sometimes.

Even though we picked up a reputable casino in this forum, the live games are still not theirs but it was from the providers. They can not control the results themselves. The only thing that we can do is to avoid those shady game providers next time and we can also report them so that they will get fired out.
1424  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: dinabot scam 2023 on: June 15, 2023, 04:54:12 PM
you should provide evidence/screenshots backing up your claims, otherwise what you posted will only be considered as a rant from someone. also, your accusation is extremely vague should elaborate on what dinabot is and what exactly is the issue you are experiencing with them.

are you talking about the site Nwada001 shared?
I doubt he will do it because what he was saying is not true. I have used this service many times and even once, they never scammed me. This service is offered in Primedice and Stake. We all know the reputation of these two gambling sites. They won't entertain a scam service because that can only affect them. If you don't know Dinabot, the user on the second post made a reply about it. About the issue of the OP, he already said it there.

My guess is the OP have done some mistake but the fix for it is already posted in the site itself. The OP can just follow it. They don't have a live support so it's normal that replies are taking time but no, they are not gambling our coins in the background lol. OP is only crazy.

Also in the big league, there is match fixing but it's not as common as we have in smaller league that isn't getting much attention therefore the officials can decide to do anything they like and won't get punished. In some games you'll notice how poor the players play.

Those type of game always ends in a draw but one of the teams should have been the favorite as they're stronger and more in form than the other team although since they shared point, the both teams don't lose and they're comfortable with the way the match ended.

Match fixing is a problem in sport all over the world and while some are very obvious others are done in a way it'll be very hard to noticed that the game was already fixed to be draw so both teams can shared the point to get an advantage over other teams in the league or tournament.
Well, you are right that it's done almost everywhere, whether it's a small league or big, whether it's done on an international level or in local tournaments, the difference comes only from how it's planned out. People who do it on a bigger scale tend to plan things in a way that no one even suspects that there is something wrong in the match which has actually been fixed, while those doing it on a lower scale don't care much about all that.

That is the reason why fixings that are mostly found and players being accused are from lower levels and those who do it in international leagues and tournaments barely get caught or suspected but easily get away with it and also earn a lot of money.
1426  Economy / Gambling / Re: List of crypto casinos with high wagering requirements on: June 14, 2023, 07:23:11 PM
I don`t like such requirements, but if we are going to use just one casino for gambling - it would be a problem only on start. It can be a problem for bonushunters or when you only choosing your casino. Later you are just gambling with easy deposit and withdraw. May be it is normally for my kind of gambling - i mostly deposit one time and gamble for it for month or even longer.
I don't see much point in bonus hunters, many years ago casino bonuses were more attractive because they focused more on giving players free things, now it is not like that, if there is no deposit there is no bonus, and the bonus is actually not good but more money to get excited about so you can have more "win" but we all know how this is, its what they call mirages so bonuses and bonus hunters are pretty risky to take on this period, there are casinos that I have seen that offer very good things like in roobet that there are art contests.
Some people might take it this way, but bonuses these days aren't provided to give players some benefits or an upper hand, they are just marketing strategies that casinos use to attract more gamblers to their platform but they do it in such a way that gamblers don't even realize that they have been trapped and they cannot get out of that trap until they complete a certain wagering requirement.

A few gamblers manage to complete the wagering requirements without losing everything including their deposit with the bonus provided but the numbers are very small because most of the players just lose the bonus along with the money they've deposited only in the process of completing the wagering requirement.
1427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: June 14, 2023, 03:40:34 PM
Do not place a bet with the mindset of getting the bag at all cost, you'll end up emptying more than you can afford to lose on just 1 game and if luck isn't on your side, you may end up not even getting the bag in the long run.

Be guided.
By "the bag", do you mean a jackpot? If yes, then it is obviously true that not everyone can win a jackpot, and only one out of hundreds of thousands manage to hit a jackpot in a casino and those who win it are mostly the people who have already lost a significant amount of money to the casino if someone wins a jackpot with only a small amount of money, they are probably the luckiest people on earth.

Those who play slots a lot usually exhaust their bankroll only in pursuit of getting a big win which barely comes, they may win reasonable wins but that equals to losses they've occurred in that same session so it doesn't even make that count.
1428  Economy / Gambling / Re: Profit By Betting on Losing Teams on: June 14, 2023, 12:53:43 PM
your outlook seems a bit stormy, don't you think? Pouring your sweat-earned dough into a sinking ship? You're virtually inking your pact with disappointment. Isn't the esence of wagering to experience the exhilaration of victory, not brace for the torture of loss? Gambling on a hopeless team, isn't that akin to casting your cash into a fountain, praying for a Hail Mary? But I concur, life's a box of cocolates. There have been underdog triumphs, but aren't those more outliers than the norm, right? Your closing argument hits the bullseye, though! Laying bets on a doomed squad is closer to rolling the dice than wagering. It's not a game of chess; it's more like a game of chance. But, as the saying goes, different strokes for different folks, yeah?
I think it depends on the situation. If the score is already too deep that it is almost impossible to chase for the losing team then you can safely say that they are now doomed but not if the gap of the scores are not that wide enough. Rolling the dice was still gambling because we don't know what will be its outcome.

And when we gamble we do wager. Sports betting supposed to be a game of skill not chance but if we are mostly betting on the weaker teams, then yeah it can be consider as one. Losing money is not an enjoyable thing so I believe that most of us will always pick on the strong teams. We rarely bet on the underdogs and we do it when there is only tiny amount left in our balances.
1429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 13, 2023, 06:30:33 PM
I was one of those people who thought Denver couldn't win, and yes Jokic did deserved the MVP but I assumed it wasn't "that" obvious, I thought it was close enough to just let it be. But after watching the lakers series and the finals full game, I can easily say that he could be one of the best players of right now, I still put Giannis there too because I really enjoy him playing but Jokic has an unstoppable mechanism and playstyle, it is really near impossible to find a way to defend that, don't know how other teams could end up doing it.

I would guess that you need to have 2 players that can guard Jokic and the guard that plays with him at that moment, and usually people who can guard Jokic are very rare, and you need two of them, so you can switch.
1430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: June 13, 2023, 05:50:49 PM
For UEFA Europe League next season has Liverpool as teams participants after failure finish on top fourth standings position in domestic league, actually many people favorite for Liverpool win Europe League next season. For Serie A teams seems AS Roma and Atalanta seems are favorite teams can talk more in Europe League but depend on 32 round when Champion League team eliminating from group stage and all predicting could be difference result.

In this season, Sevilla eliminated from Champion League and success become the winner but for next season if fail in Champion League group stage looks the same Sevilla will be favorite for winning back to back Europe League tittle.
Since Liverpool failed to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League, they are undoubtedly one of the favorites for the UEFA Europa League. In the previous season we saw Roma and Sevilla considered favorites for the UEFA Europa League until finally these two teams reached the final of the UEFA Europa League and in the final match we saw Roma being defeated by Sevilla. Had Liverpool qualified for the Champions League this season, other teams might have been favorites in the Europa League, but since Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League, there is no doubt that Liverpool are favorites in the Europa League.
There is no doubt about Liverpool quality but still this is too early as consider them as the hot favorite into this event because we have no idea who is coming and how things will be in next season and mostly teams like Liverpool try to focus on their domestic event instead of UEFA Europa Cup because they understand having better end in domestic league is surely better beneficial for them with in last season in early rounds we have Arsenal and Manchester United as hot favorites but at the end we have Sevilla as champions which came from nowhere and won this title which is surely amazing because we have this love affair from Spanish sides for UEFA mostly they shock the soccer world with their wins in these events.
 
Right now we have to wait for the players those are under radar of these big teams for the next season how they have done before start of the next season, then we can go through with better views about winner.

I am sure PSG will do anything to hold Mbappe and not impossible they will raised Mbappe current salary to tempting him to extended his contract so basically this is still not final decision for Mbappe but if this is true i think there is no way to PSG to sell him this summer because PSG don't want to lost Mbappe with free transfer status and indeed probably it's time for Madrid to buy him and i am sure the price will be so fantastic and most likely there will be saga transfer for Mbappe but for France league they will lost one of the most iconic player in this league and i can't imagine if next season Ligue 1 without Mbappe, Neymar and Messi because i am sure people will lost interest to watching this league
Even situation is not clear about PSG and Mbappé, but it's all looking interesting because suddenly exit of Benzema from Real Madrid give good opportunity to Mbappé play his cards so his announcements going to work for him with if PSG wants to keep him for more time then surely they need to increase his package which is going to end in June 2024 or if they will not do anything then Real Madrid is already ready for this because they need player like Mbappé for their next season and better results with few players already recruited but still main position is not filled after exit of Benzema.

But if PSG lost Mbappé then surely we will have some problems for the PSG because they already lost few star players and now exit of Mbappé mean things will be gone from bad to worse, so hopefully they will also try to keep things under control with this all even we can expect Mbappé will stay here for few more seasons.
1432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 13, 2023, 02:33:05 PM

Of course, you can. Everything is a choice.

Really? I think it is only easy to say when done especially on something like gambling when we know that it can provide us loads of fun including if we win money. Once we know that it's possible to win big amounts in gambling, we will keep on coming back to try our luck again, thinking that we can make more but there are so many sad stories I hear about the gambling winners where they only lose what they already won.

I hope we won't end up like that but we should stick on our betting limits and treat gambling as an enjoyable activity this time and not some kind of a money-making activity. And Since we already have lots of money courtesy of gambling, there is no point on stressing ourselves to earn out of it.
1433  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: June 13, 2023, 01:52:40 PM
The good casino should always be transparent and if there is any change in the terms and condition of the casino they should notified to their gambler publicly as there is nothing to hide in this. Only the scam casino's will try to hide the TOS changes.

Also the users should make a habit to read the terms of service no matter how lengthy they are. They are made for the gamblers and the gambler show read it. In case the gamblers did not follow any gambling casino process and later they get into trouble only because they did not read the terms of service then it is only the fault of the gamblers.
This is true. I know I am playing on an old and legit casino and lately, when I log in to them, the first thing that pop up on my screen is a notice about the change of their Terms and Condition. It's one example on how important it is.

They can always email it or put some notification in our account page but no because they know that a gambler might missed it and they are afraid that they will get blamed once the gambler did a violation due to the recent change. Given that TOS is important, you're right that we need to allocate some time to read it. Don't just read the upper part because we might miss some important information in the middle and at the bottom page of it.
1434  Economy / Economics / Re: How do cryptocurrencies affect Global Economy? on: June 13, 2023, 04:11:29 AM
Every country's government system wants to control money.  Because bank transactions other than Bitcoin are controlled by the central bank, the central bank is the regulator of all the economies of the country that does not have the facility of Bitcoin transactions, but if a country has the facility of Bitcoin transactions, then the money that will be converted to Bitcoin will not be controlled by the government. This is probably why Bitcoin has not yet become an alternative currency worldwide. And because different criminals commit different crimes through Bitcoin, the governments of different countries take negative decisions about accepting this currency in their countries.
You are talking like the journalists from back in the days when Bitcoin was first getting popular who used to keep calling Bitcoin a criminal currency that is used to fund criminals and different illegal activities worldwide, some people still think the same way about it, and some governments use that as an excuse to not allow the usage of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies within their countries and to keep their people away from it.

Do you think that normal money cannot be used for criminal activities? There are always two sides to anything, one is positive and the other one is negative, now it depends on you how you use it, but you cannot call a thing negative or positive only because it has both qualities, it's you who is either positive or negative because you use it that way.
1435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 12, 2023, 04:52:23 PM
I think people are forgetting that Denver rested for 7 days while Miami was going head to head against a Celtics team that almost won the title last year. So it is not easy for them to make a comeback at all, why? Because they are tired beyond measure, sure they got one win and that was a good thing for them but even that win might have been a fluke in the series and Denver won 2 in a row on the road. This is why I honestly expect Denver to finish this quickly, either today or at most next game, no 7th game should be played.

The reality is that Denver being this rested and having an unstoppable Jokic-Murray offense that Miami fails to defend, it is not going to be that easy to handle anything else, it will be pretty terrible ending, not looking like anything good could come out for Miami.
1436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: June 12, 2023, 02:39:15 PM
The wife or girlfriend must be realistic about the gambling activities carried out by their partner, when they prohibit their partner from gambling, they also do not need to demand anything from their winnings. Hiding gambling activity from wife or girlfriend right of a husband, as long as the household needs are sufficient and the wife's maintenance costs are not lacking, the wife does not need to intervene with her husband in something that the husband does.
It needs a turning point from everything you said at the beginning of the topic, it must be traced to their financial condition while their husband were gambling. Financial health in the household is the responsibility of the husband, if all of that has been fulfilled, the husband can do anything to entertain himself after feeling tired at work.
I know that everyone has the right to do anything to entertain themselves as long as it is not negatively affecting something else directly or indirectly. The husband might have been providing for the family and everything, and his gambling was probably not affecting anything at all until he was caught hiding it from his wife which I find unethical because the relationship between a husband and a wife should be pure and sincere relationship where there should be no space for dishonesty and hiding things like this.

I don't find the wife being wrong in this situation because if the same thing was done by the wife and her husband had discovered later on that his wife has been gambling or has been doing something behind his back without letting him know, I'm sure the reaction would be more severe than of this wife.
1437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: June 12, 2023, 01:08:15 PM
The casino should be able to consider the advice and maybe implement it if it provides an opportunity for the casino to grow even better. But I think each casino will provide the best for its users, except for casinos that only want their users' money. Such a casino would not consider any suggestions from its members but should be prepared if its users decide to leave its casino one day. It will bankrupt the casino and close its casino because there is no support from its users. It may already be the case for the new casinos just launched.
The workers running casinos should prioritize the demands of clients in the industry. Although it is not a simple commitment, things do improve over time. Casinos are obligated to respond to customer complaints, because if a client registers a complaint and the casino fails to remedy the problem to the client's satisfaction, the client is regarded abandoned and dormant, and he or she will depart for a better one. Every individual desires what is best for them when it comes to playing casinos; the best quality is no stress or complaint and consistent speedy payment alternatives.
Not only for a casino but it is obligatory for every business to keep their customers satisfied because a business runs only if it has customers, so customer is always first. Businesses tend to give more priority to a customer than their own staff because they understand the importance of having them and how difficult it is to maintain quality customer service and satisfaction.

When it comes to gambling, customers are already very sensitive and emotional with everything because it mostly involves a lot of money and customers would never want to have issues when there is money involved, so a casino that cannot provide good customer service and can't satisfy their customers with their services is more likely to lose their ratings and their business will start going towards a downfall.

After failed to get messi from PSG and then al hilal is making a fast move by trying to securing neymar as a replacement for messi. Neymar has been known as a good attackers. That's why hilal is interesting to sign him once the club unable to sign messi caused be messi was picking intermiami rather than hilal.

Quote
Al-Hilal sent a delegation to Paris on Friday to "test the waters" with Neymar's entourage over a potential deal, according to CBS Sports. The report states that the Brazilian could be in line for a deal similar to the one Cristiano Ronaldo was handed at Al-Nassr in December, which is reportedly worth €200 million (£171m/$215m) per year.
https://www.goal.com/en/news/neymar-saudi-list-al-hilal-exploring-transfer-for-another-psg-star-after-lionel-messi-snub/bltd2254801578e5f5e

So far, al hilal has not yet get a superstars while at the same time nassr, even ittihad have been getting their own superstars. It's a shame for al hilal for not getting at lest a single professional player from EU transfer.
It seems like that neymar has become a plan B for messi. Al hilal's plan has not been running smothly caused by messi was going to the US rather than saudi arabia.

Let's see how hard al hilal will be trying to get neymar from PSG. It seems like that hilal gonna try so hard to get neymar. Neymar may be coached by mourinho if that will come true.
Now Saudis are surely going to create things for the many players those are already given their best in Europe and reached their retirement age having good farewell before retirement after Cristiano Ronaldo mostly peoples were feeling Messi will be also here, but he decided he will stay in the USA for the last few years of his play so SPL clubs owners are now going for their plan B and trying t convey Neymar for the transfer even many players are already joining here like we have Karim Benzema but many big clubs which have no stars are jumping into this war.

Neymar which is surely having problems into PSG and trying his best for reputable club which is possible but with this offer now he can achieve more than which is he having in PSG and no club in UEFA can give him for me most chances he will be jumped here and going to enjoy another luxury contract for his rest of the career.
1439  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top 5 Advantages of Bitcoin Casinos vs. Traditional Casinos on: June 12, 2023, 04:19:15 AM
Everything have got its advantages over the other. When it comes to traditional Casinos the fun and entertainment used to be different whereas with cryptocurrency Casinos it used to be different, because the present gambling experience happens only through the online casinos. Bitcoin Casinos were preferred for its transparency and for the privacy. Now this is no more, because each and every platform have begun to request KYC.

Whether it is traditional way of gambling or bitcoin gambling, the advantage relies on how we handle our gambling activities as well as how good are we in financial management and security.
When we talk about advantages, cryptocurrency casinos obviously have a lot of advantages when compares to traditional online casinos, the main advantage being the payment method and convenience. I don't find using a bank card or bank account convenient enough to make a gambling deposit especially if I'm willing to gamble at that exact time and I know that a payment from my bank to the casino wouldn't be too quick.

When it comes to cryptocurrencies, I know that if I make a deposit using any cryptocurrency accepted at the casino I'm gambling at, it won't take much time at all and the deposit will be credited right at that time when I have the urge to gamble, so I find that more convenient and that is just one advantage that I mentioned.
1440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 12, 2023, 02:08:10 AM
Well, it's obviously difficult, but nothing is impossible in the world. It becomes easier if you are addicted to gambling only because of the pleasure of playing the games and not for getting a lot of money, if you are financially stable and have no issues at all when it comes to money, all you need is a different activity that will keep you engaged and won't give you enough time to gamble a lot, now finding such activity is the challenge.

If you are not financially stable and have got addicted to gambling while trying to earn a living for yourself then it is a bigger problem because if you don't have a job, no income at all, you won't be able to do anything else since you don't have money, in such a case, a friend or a family member might be able to help keep you engaged in something else and keep you away from gambling.
