West Indies team is declining day after day. The most surprising thing is that the country whose players are most popular in T20 cricket fails to qualify for the T20 World Cup. Almost everyone knows that how vulnerable such a situation with their cricket.
There is always dispute with the West Indies Cricket board and the players and on top of that they are all from different Island Countries playing under West Indies. They get more money from franchise Cricket and hence majority are playing them rather than under West Indies.
West Indian ship is already drown and now with the involvement of politics and quota system things going from bad to worse side even still they have few quality players but due to inner politics things are not in positive way so just because of this many players are involved in franchise cricket despite having amazing quality not interested to play for their national team now from here if they want to bring positive changes then surely they need to sit and have one fair policy for all three formats and end this quota system as well which is bringing dispute between these boards and players.

Situation is not positive and with this no one capable of having one team which give them better result they are also not able to sit and have settled things which are bringing them in negativity which is also the biggest blunder now It's time they are fighting hard for the qualification of world cup after losing their spot in T20i world cup even they won title few times few years back.

Checked the terms about this weekly free spins no deposit bonus and it is stated that the bonus is valid only for an hour after you post it in your social media accounts.  Why that short and what is the main reason behind this an hour expiration for the free spins? Is it related to limitation so there will be not many players claim it? If it is so, I think it is better if you have a limit based on number. I mean the bonus code is only available for the first xx number of users. However I do like the rule that there is no wagering requirement for players who have made deposit while on the other side it has 50x wagering requirement for those who have not made deposit.
On some gambling sites, they also have limitations like only 20 users can claim the bonus code. That is normal so that the casino will not pay too much on the promotions and it's a way to make the players become attentive on their site. They already gave some tips anyway, like we must turn on our notifications so that we won't missed it in case there is another bonus that will come.

If I were to choose between the number of players vs time-based, I think I will go for time based, because it can mean unlimited people can be able to claim as long as it was still under the duration. I didn't check if how much the minimum deposit to avail the no-deposit bonus but if it's only small then great. A lot of people will surely participate on it.

Congratulations to you on that, since you consider it a very big thing, I believe you have waited long for this moment and must have put together the money that you used in achieving this with hardships probably and it wasn't actually easy for you to purchase Bitcoins initially, and considering that, I will surely give you a piece of advice that you should follow.

Keeping your Bitcoins in Trust Wallet is not a good thing. The reason for that is that you don't have access to the private key of the Bitcoin wallet that stores your Bitcoins in Trust Wallet, and that is a bad thing, you will know it later. For now, since it isn't a really big amount, I would suggest you download the Electrum wallet either on your phone or PC, or laptop. Create a wallet, generate a receiving address, and send your Bitcoins there. Make sure you keep your private key and seed phrase somewhere very safe.
1724  Economy / Gambling / Re: A way to attract new users or a misunderstanding? on: April 08, 2023, 06:54:41 AM
Nowadays web 3.0 gaming platforms have undergone massive changes. Gamblers are heavily attracted to this Web 3.0 to keep themselves safe and gain new gambling experiences. And gambling companies are also using the name Web 3.0 to attract gamblers. Each person will adopt a different approach to marketing strategy. Everyone has full freedom. But if anyone tries to cheat them by using this name it will be considered a crime. A gambler will not choose a new gambling platform just by looking at advertisements. He must check the reviews of various sites about that platform. But such efforts are not unusual. I don't think anything other than a marketing strategy.
There aren't a lot of Web 3.0 casinos available out there, maybe one or a couple that I've seen are actually decentralized, and using Web 3.0, providing gamblers the option to connect their wallets without having to register or do anything else. I don't remember the name of the casino offering this but it is available here in the forum.

It is true that most of the projects only use the name to get free advertisement since Web 3.0 is one of the trending topics these days, and people are always looking for places where they can witness Web 3.0 being utilized.
1725  Economy / Gambling / Re: Warning: ZKasino - Possible wallet phishing scam on: April 08, 2023, 05:03:40 AM
There are few casinos claimed they were web 3.0 casinos and they ask to connect your wallet if you want to play in their site, although there's no case where they scam, but make sure anyone need to use secondary wallet and not use their primary wallet.

I still think creating an account and make a deposit is much safer than this one.
In using the web3 casino, all gamblers really have to connect their personal wallets to be able to play or bet, but we can anticipate that bad things will not happen to the assets in our wallets by creating a new wallet and only using it to play at the casino, so there is no need to worry about bad things.
After all, several web3 casinos are also trusted and have quite a good reputation so not all web3 casinos have the danger of scams, but we still have to be careful and protect the assets we have.
If you say security, it is indeed safer to create an account and make a deposit every time you play, but web3 casinos make it easy for gamblers not to need to make a deposit and only need to combine wallets to play or bet.
Why would you say that several web3 casinos are trusted while there aren't really a lot of them available yet? I don't remember seeing any more than one casino that claims to be utilizing web3 and that had the option for the gamblers to connect their wallet and place bets directly through the wallet using smart contracts and on-chain transactions.

Security will definitely be a concern for everyone since there aren't a lot of platforms with this feature and if there are any that would be new with no trust and reputation. So it's obviously risky but there nothing wrong in checking them out with a new wallet.

I honestly have to say that Ireland actually posted a good fight for the Bangladesh team. Otherwise, this match was going to be over a long time ago. At one point it felt like Ireland was going to lose by an innings difference. Congratulations to them that they at least avoided that situation. And also congratulations to Bangladesh because they were able to actually win the test match despite having a really bad record in the test format.

A lot of people are talking about the captaincy of Shakib Al Hassan. I personally don’t think he is a good captain. But he is certainly the best that Bangladesh has right now.
With the current performance of few teams are at same level like Sri Lanka, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Ireland these teams need the good number of matches which are not coming as we have ICC which is having no interest in this game and doing their own business with just few countries if they are having some time then surely think about this all and bring solid strategy which bring improvement in quality and performance with still have good time for this all even this is not profitable but need good changes for brighter future of this game.
 
A good decision from them with having WTC and final is also coming after every two years which is another good thing but with this all now time for giving the good number of matches to all these countries and cut the toughest schedule of top countries which are taking good advantage of having power in ICC set up.
1727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 07, 2023, 04:45:20 PM
Manchester United should still be the underdog even though they are playing at Everton. but Manchester United really couldn't let their guard down from the start they played. they have to treat the game against Everton as against any other strong team. because Everton always surprise their opponents when Everton play as the host. we have to remember that even Yesterday Tottenham also had to be willing to get a draw at home to Everton. and we also must not forget that Arsenal have also suffered defeat when playing at Everton. Sean Dyche is a pretty good coach for Everton when playing at home. although maybe this season Everton still can't find their best game. but I think next season Sean Dyche can make Everton even better. so Manchester United may have to fight hard in this match.
Manchester United having good win against Brentford at good time while they are now going to face Dyche's spirited side which is also doing good in last few matches and bringing hopes for the better end of this season, but this match is surely going to be not easy for them as in last five away games they lost three and ended two in draw so most chances Manchester United will be on good advantage for having check on Tottenham for the fourth spot.
 
After Dyche arrival we have positive change even still things not as they need to be for staying into Premier League, but now hopes are high with beating Arsenal was best, but now Manchester United is feeling positive as well and trying their best for the having difference of good points from Tottenham which is looking compromised after having poor results in last few games here most chances Manchester United will be led by 2 - 0.
1728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: April 07, 2023, 01:56:19 PM
If you look at the statistics, the difference in strength between Man United and Sevilla is quite large. We know how Sevilla is performing right now, while Man United is in an ode on fire. So this will make the club superior in several ways compared to Seville. Sevilla has weaknesses at several points, so maybe this could be an additional gap for Man United to be even better than they should be.
That should be the case if we look at the overall performance of the two teams that will compete. Manchester United have the upper hand now and are more in the favorites to get rid of Sevilla. They are also very experienced in facing teams from Spain this season, it is recorded that they have faced Spanish teams 3 times, and this match will be their 4th match against a La Liga team.
Comparing these two teams in this season is not ideal as Sevilla is currently had just safe zone after spending long time of this season in relegation zone and Manchester United is currently fighting hard for the top four spots in Premier League and with after beating teams like Barcelona and Real Betis in this competition we can expect another win for the Manchester United because clearly they are at the top of this game with Marcus Rashford is also doing amazing job but as we all know UEFA is having history of unpredictable results and surprises things can go in any team's favor but still Manchester United is heavily favorite and have good chance for the going into last four.
 
Ten Haq strategy and backing to his players giving him good advantage for ending at best spot after taking charge of this team in difficult time now most chances this could be last match for Sevilla in the UEFA as next year is surely having not good situation for them, but hopefully they will regroup themselves for better future.

~snip~
Although technically true, in reality this way of thinking doesn't help you much, to be honest. And that is so because when playing a game with 99% RTP instead of 96% RTP you are not guaranteed to win anything. What you are guaranteed it to lose less in the long run. And that "run" is very long. It is so long that it may never happen.
True, but in some cases people blindly gamble in games that are extremely bad in terms of odds. Casinos make those games just in case someone doesn't care at all about the odds, and those basically make the casino win almost all the time. Of course it's designed so that it doesn't feel like that, it will give you small wins here and there, but overall the ratio would be hugely in favor to the casino.

If you play other games like roulette, etc, then it's more straight forward. I mean, I've seen people play on a roulette with a double zero in it when a roulette without a double zero was just next to it. That's just weird in my mind.
Are you referring to slot games when you say that the games basically make the casino win almost all the time and give users only small wins and the ratio is mostly in favor of the house? Because that is what happens in slot games but if you look at the stats or conduct a survey, slot games are the most favorite of all gamblers and they are the most played games in any casino.

The main reason why most people play these games is the engagement and enjoyment they provide, some also like their graphics and display elements, and only some play for profits which is very hard to get in them.
1730  Economy / Gambling / Re: Researching for Upcoming Game on: April 07, 2023, 07:05:41 AM
But of course, it is possible and useful to conduct a survey, but it is far from always possible to understand what is right to improve. 
There are many proposals that preclude concurrency in development.  For example, some people write that it is necessary to make the button on the screen bigger and to the right, and the same part writes that it is better to place it on the left and make it smaller.  And then what to do!  This is generally incomprehensible.  Of course, when 80-90% of respondents agree with the change and refinement of the interface, this should be implemented.  But changes to improve the game for the user are not always so obvious. 
But it is precisely to clarify such obvious changes that it is very correct to conduct a survey.
Surveys are conducted to get a general overview of what the public thinks about a certain thing or how they want it to be, and even if the results are mixed, the survey conducting team will still know what they need to do and if it is conducted by a software or game development team, survey results can greatly help even if they aren't totally as per expectations.

So the basic purpose of conducting the survey is achieved eventually. If we talk about this particular survey, I think it is always a good thing to ask the audience what they would like to have as a game next.

Do not forget that the issuance of a Curacao license by any casino is a fairly successful commercial enterprise, which was originally conceived as a rather formal check of the casino's accounts and the issuance of a corresponding certificate, license.  I don't think that the bosses of this commercial enterprise, even with the involvement of government officials of Curacao, will refuse to issue a license based on arguments such as issuing their own casino token.  In general, I think they do not consider this as some kind of serious violation leading to the deception of the players of this casino. 
And let's not forget that the bosses of the licensing authority themselves, on this basis, cannot receive and lose several tens of thousands of dollars for some beautiful piece of paper of a license - this is simply stupid.
I do agree that it is not going to be token based or care about the token or anything like that, they see that as a separate business under the same name and not the same business. I mean the license is for the games, which means if you gamble and there is a rigged game where casino scams you, the license will be revoked, and I have to say they are pretty legit as well as Curacao could have made a lot more money by just accepting bribe from casinos, and yet they still revoke the licenses of rigged casinos.

This is why I believe that it means something, doesn't mean all the ones that have license is legit, that's why some of them get it revoked, but it's good to have at least.
1732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin usage in crime activity. on: April 06, 2023, 05:48:02 PM
Like you said, Bitcoin is anonymous. That is also the main reason on why criminals like to use it because they can escape easily with their crimes. There are still cryptos out there which are more private than in Bitcoin (Monero for example.) Criminals also use this and I think they are using this heavily than in Bitcoin. Even the criminals do also use fiats especially when they are about to encash their cryptos so don't focus only in Bitcoins.

There are now in-direct regulations which are put in place to possibly combat these criminal activities. This makes people trust Bitcoin even more so adoption is still doing fine and it only got improved. Don't worry, Bitcoin is still decentralized.
1733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Online casino always take risks? on: April 06, 2023, 02:35:00 PM
It is an important thing to check the reputation of a casino before playing in it. Certain research about the reviews regarding their service is necessary. This forum already has enough information regarding casinos. Always choose a well-established casino and as much as possible, avoid fishy and shakey casinos that only attract players through paid influencers. Influencers are being paid and they're part of the marketing strategy so their goal is just to attract players regardless of the reputation and legitimacy of a casino so I must say they are not really reliable.
Yes, it is important to take more time and observe before registering at any casino. Because the casino industry is now at the forefront some scammers here will not miss that opportunity. Some gamblers will also fall for their temptations. A casino's true colors will not be revealed when the gambler loses but their true colors will be revealed when the gambler wins big. If a gambler fails to choose good or bad of any casino sites he should conduct gambling in reputed casinos.
Though it's not too difficult to identify if a casino is legit or not, it's still better to choose a reputable casino platform for gambling just for the peace of mind and having no worries and tensions of what might happen if you get a big win because a scam casino will probably not give you a withdraw for that, and you will be compelled to play and lose all the money you've deposited.

I think most newbies make the mistake of checking reviews for casinos on websites like TrustPilot, etc. But they don't really know that the reviews on such sites are about 95% fake and added by casinos themselves and you cannot know if a casino is authentic or not only based on that.
1734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best time to gamble on: April 06, 2023, 11:49:11 AM
Weekends for me. I don’t want to be stressed while I am gambling because I gamble for fun and during the weekends I am usually happier because there is no work. Gambling on the workdays makes me angrier than I already am, so I avoid it at all costs. A happy Sunday morning, after I do my great breakfast is the best time for me to try my luck. If I lose, I don’t get mad and If I win, it will just make that Sunday even more beautiful.
What about your work alone? Doesn't it stress you? Great if it isn't but if its stressful like the rest of us, playing gambling can be a good treat to ease it and the best time to gamble would be before bed time so does it does not interfere you with other activities and you will enjoy gambling the maximum way. Your chosen schedule to play on the weekends is still great.

This also allows you to enjoy gambling with longer hours. Having a breakfast first before playing will help you become sharp which is needed especially if you are playing a skill based game. Some religious people avoid playing on Sunday because they only dedicate this day to worship the almighty father and then they spend quality time with their family. Sometimes, having a limited time in gambling is also great as it prevents us from getting addicted.
1735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: April 06, 2023, 08:35:34 AM
At the end of the day, the "feeling" is also based on previous data, so the AI could in theory model that as well.

For example, if you watch a couple of teams from another country playing against each other, and you've never seen or heard about them before, you probably won't have any "feeling" about one or the other.
And in that case an AI will be way better than a human gambler, after all a human gambler can only have a limited expertise on a small number of sports, however an AI as long as it has enough data to produce models could in theory make bets on every single market available to it.

This could give a massive advantage to the developers of such an AI as there are markets that due to their unpopularity may offer better opportunities for profits, especially if we compare them to other markets which are more popular and in which casinos put more attention, and as such profits are more difficult to obtain.
We agree that AI can be able to attain expertise in every sport, and might even be able to bet on almost every market based on research and analysis that it does, but as discussed earlier, what about the things that only a human can see and know? Like an injury of a player, which happens on the same day when the match is about to be played.

Now, the human who is about to bet on that game will keep himself updated and will surely see the news somewhere like on TV, etc. But what about AI? If it misses a massive update that is a game changer, it will probably still place the bet without knowing that, and it can cause a loss for sure.

Lower level teams are getting a bit better lately and the yare playing clearly better and closer to PSG, all these teams beating smaller teams ended up being something a bit better for their future. If you play like this and keep improving, then eventually someone will beat PSG again one day, it takes time but consistency is the key, if you are a consistently playing like this then you are going to get better and have better results and more money and then you are going to end up with a much better result.

But, we are going to end up with them not being consistent all the time, not all teams at least, some of them will start to be something a bit worse.

I think it wasn't really just about people leaving. It is also about why people left, because LL decided not to run this anymore and decided to focus on his life. Which isn't a bad idea, like this is a casino after all and it's a business and if the business doesn't bring in enough money, or even if it brings in enough money, sometimes you may want to just leave.

Or he could be sick, like something serious and maybe he is fighting that and meanwhile doesn't want to take care of here neither. All these possibilities are probable and I think that we can easily say that if we want to leave and not gamble here, LL doesn't mind, so it's not really a big deal.
1738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do new online casinos struggle? on: April 05, 2023, 08:20:54 PM
New casinos struggle mainly because they lack a proper business plan, and no business is sustainable if it hasn't been planned beforehand and things aren't done the way they were supposed to be done. The very first and most important thing is to design your business to meet the interests and requirements of the audience you are about to target, and then use proper marketing techniques to get your business to your target audience.

The growth of your business will depend on your initial marketing and how people react to it, if it isn't done properly and people don't really get interested, it is more likely for the business to go downhill from there, and if it works and does the job, there will be steady growth over time if they continue their campaigns with required changes and updates.

Using AI has advantages as well as disadvantages. When asked for help with a common problem they can provide it in a very short time and most gamblers have some common problems that are very easy to solve by this. Again there may be some complicated problems where the bot cannot solve that. If there is a live customer service representative there is a better solution to that problem. But overall this eye works very effectively.
Anyone that ever worked at some form of customer support knows that the majority of the problems or questions that you will encounter will repeat themselves over and over again and they can be resolved relatively quickly, however  there are a few cases which require to look very deeply into the problem in order to find a solution, for the former an AI is the perfect solution as it can solve those queries very rapidly, but for the latter you need a human which knows what they are doing.
I've been in customer support and I can surely back your statement here that most of the questions or problems that customers face are repetitive ones that require the same solution to be provided over and over again which is sometimes frustrating too, but you can't do anything and do what you are supposed to do.

Automation for that is definitely possible, especially if AI is used since it can always spin the answer for every different customer to provide the feel that it is not a computer-generated answer for the sake of customer satisfaction. And for the more complex issues, there can always be a human operator available to whom the AI can transfer the problems to.

The draw in the Chelsea vs Liverpool match is a sign that especially for Liverpool they have finished in the hunt for the European competition zone, not only for the Champions League even for the Europa League it will be very difficult for Liverpool to come by, they are not showing as a team that is ready to win in all the remaining matches, maybe when Liverpool play at home they will have a very big chance to get full points but as a visiting team they are not so good. Klopp fielded quite a different set of players than he is used to but it's a shame the result was still unpleasant as a draw isn't great for those trying to improve position. Chelsea only has a chance in the champions league if they can become a champion but that is much more difficult to achieve, so it seems that the two teams will only compete in local competitions for next season and their positions will be replaced by Newcastle and Brighton who have appeared quite impressive this season.
Even Liverpool squad is having quality to fight against any top ranked team, but their current form is miserable, and they are not near their best which is surely giving them big setback even here now I am also feeling most chances they could be not going into top six because in last three matches they have just one point which is widening difference between them and top ranked teams with Brighton and Aston Villa are also improving their performance with Tottenham and Manchester United are giving them lifeline, but now things are not easy.

Chelsea is already heading for the worst end of their season, but now Liverpool is also ending their hopes for the top six which could be big disaster for them and their fans 10 matches remaining and performance level is not idea which mean any prediction is not easy, but Liverpool is still capable of having miracles so let's watch how their season going to end with this performance.
