My first gambling experience was really nice and it was on sports betting. I want to try it and it was something unplanned and I'm not sure of the odds and all. Just placed the bet and I was able to win. It was on directbet where we need to send the bet amount to a specific wallet and we'll receive it on our wallet if won. I won the bet and it was really nice to see the winning amount in thr wallet.

There is 229 runs opening partnership between both openers. West Indies got first break through at score of 229. Yashasvi Jaiswal is having ideal start of his test career, you won't get better start then that. West Indies really need to do something about there team as time is running out of there hands. This West indies are no way near India team and it looks like India is playing with some associate team.
West Indies have gone completely down. I don't know when this team will get back to form. It is the team that is full of legendary players and now everything have gone upside down. I don't know how things could change. There needs to be some arrangements to overcome the scenario. If this isn't addressed at the right time, even they could drop down from the better position in the T20 cricket format.

Gambling is something completely different from cryptocurrency, but the usage of bitcoin into gambling in its beginning days makes it more related. Some believes that cryptocurrency is developed to fulfill the gambling industry as people expected anonymity with their gambling activities. This isn't true, because the reason behind the innovation is to fulfill things that weren't got perfect with the banking system and to eliminate the third man involvement.
524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: July 13, 2023, 11:47:13 PM
Mindsets were just a myth. Everything related to gambling is connected to luck. Some form of gambling is much associated with skills. At times even the skills doesn't bring us winning moment. It is all the luck that favour us when we go for with some random choice. Mindset plays a role when we're gambling. Personally whenever I feel frustrated I do gambling and this leads to loss which is a known fact, but being lucky at the moment have the opposite reaction happening. This even calms down and makes us come out of the frustration.
525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 12, 2023, 11:29:30 PM
to quote myself, Eubanks had good match, and provided some gains
but, I did not cash-out when possible after third set on a win, and should do that, but at that moment expected to see Eubanks winning this one, and he could do that in fourth set, fifth was just a formality

will be interesting to see Alcaraz against Medvedev, but I think that Medvedev is without chances to take even set there, should be straight sets for Alcaraz, will check odds and probably have it like that

Good performance from Alcaraz. Both waited for mistakes from the opponent and Alcaraz was more consistent overall in terms of performance than Rune

Eubanks as expected from me, did not disappoint me. The fact that he managed to play 5 sets in the quarter-finals shows that we have to expect more from him in the future. It seems he have lost concentration in set 5.
At Thursday the mens have a day off and at Friday the semi-finals will be played.

It was refreshing to see how the guy called Eubanks played against Medvedev. I have never heard of him before and it seems that he was about to give up professional tennis. The telegraph and some other news outlets have written that he was on his way to a different career path as a commentator. I love life stories like that. A player decides to end the career and then to his own surprise almost beats Medvedev in a Wimbledon quarter-final.

Alcaraz was strong and he is looking good and confident. I don't own a crystal ball but I think that both Djokovic and Alcaraz are too stable and focused to fail in the semi-finals.
I have followed Eubanks for a long time now and he is a good player that serves well and has a good forehand but his behand is bad and that causes problems for him. But he has improved so much lately and this is one of the biggest achievements of his life. But cant wait to watch the semifinals,it will be awesome.
Eubanks gave tough fight winning two sets out of the first four sets. The final set could've been very close, but things were different and Medvedev won it without difficulty as the set ended 6-1. As said the progress from Eubanks is really big and he needs to keep it up to stand high.

The match between the two young players Alcaraz and Rune were more enjoyable as we were able to watch the energetic performance from both sides. Rune played well, but he couldn't stay on the tournament anymore. The tricky shots and cool movements were nice to watch.
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 10, 2023, 11:55:29 PM
Alcaraz won his match against Berrettini and is through to the quarter-final 3-6 6-3 6-3 6-3. Quite a comfortable win against a serious opponent. In the final set Alcaraz easily broke the Italian (it's unbelievable how this huge tall guy failed to win his server game) and guaranteed himself a place in the quarter-final. Alcaraz will face Holger Rune in the next round.
Rune won the first set and he gave good fight, but beyond certain point Berrettini loses easily. Anyhow the upcoming match seems to be interesting as Rune seems to be a tough contender. His win against Dimitrov hadn't happened easily, two tie breaker wins have given him the lead. Every learning will reflect in the upcoming matches and the two young players fighting to reach the semifinals makes it a worthy match.
527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: July 10, 2023, 11:34:41 PM
The country of El Salvador will one day be able to achieve their success with Bitcoin. El Salvador is truly an amazing Bitcoin country.

This could be achievable if the next person who is to come to power after Nayib Bukele has completed his term will also be a lover of Bitcoin. If not, the beautiful picture that has been created of El Salvador will be rearranged to be the opposite, especially now that the opposition party of the currently ruling party is seeing Bitcoin being a legal tender in the country as something that is wrong and they have all turned racist. It's a gradual process; what Nayib Bukele has done for Bitcoin and its people will forever remain there, even if the next ruling government happens to be against it. A few people who understand Bitcoin better will continue to use it in every possible way that they can.
Nayib Bukele have made big changes in the country. Years back people fear to travel El Salvador and now he had changed the situation. Now tourism have been generating good revenue and more good things happening in the country in terms of economic upliftment as well as in terms of peace. I don't know how far its true, based on different data it is predicted that Nayib Bukele will once again come to power with good majority.
528  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you prefer to own a luxury watch or invest in bitcoin or other assets? on: July 10, 2023, 11:06:52 PM
Luxury watches at the top end of the market can be considered as an alternative form of investment. While I don't possess extensive knowledge about watches, my understanding from available information suggests that reselling them can yield a substantial profit. The return on investment for luxury watches tends to be quite satisfactory. Prominent examples of such watches include Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Audemars Piguet, some of which have a waitlist spanning two years. Most of these watches tend to appreciate in value.

However, the worth attributed to an item is typically influenced by its demand and supply. While I believe that owning one or two high-end watches, provided they are well-maintained, may outperform stocks, gold, and real estate, it's worth noting that their appeal may diminish over time. This is because future generations are increasingly gravitating towards other interests, such as bitcoin and other emerging trends. If given the choice, would you prefer to own a luxury watch or invest in bitcoin, digital assets, gold, stocks, or real estate?
Owning any luxury items are still a form of good investment but it needs a lot of capital so you can start with it. And I don't think I can afford it for now. I would rather take part in Bitcoin investing and save my hard-earned money for now so I can invest a portion of it in the future. Bitcoin investment is way more promising as long as you are investing at the right time and store your Bitcoin at a secured wallet.
The growth of bitcoin is more promising than the luxury watches. When we think of it luxury watches it is a costly watch for specific years. There'll be limited edition and other premium choices which makes the value. However this watches won't be having a much higher value over the years as we experience with bitcoin. Only after long years when the watch turns to be a classic product we can experience better growth in its value. So in my understanding bitcoin is the best against luxury watches.
529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto another form of gambling? on: July 10, 2023, 03:05:06 PM
Why bitcoin and crypto is connected with gambling. With gambling we predict the market and wait for the outcome. To some extent strategies and skills help in prediction of the outcome. With bitcoin we don't know exactly on what basis is the price movement happening around. We predict with connection to the previous market movements as well as the incidents taking place relative to bitcoin. This makes people have an understanding that crypto is another form of gambling.

Good awareness as well as right learning is required to understand well about the market. What we experience with gambling is possibilities or choices whereas bitcoin is all about the technology.

Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women
The second match of the Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women T20 series has started today. New Zealand Women won the toss and elected to bowl. Batting after losing the toss, Sri Lanka women collected 14 runs in 3 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. New Zealand women won the first match by 5 wickets. If New Zealand Women win the match today, the series will be won. Both teams will try to play well in today's match. Let's see which team can win today.
In this match New Zealand Women have won the toss and decided to bowl. Sri Lanka Women have started the innings scoring 21/3 in 5 overs. Rain have delayed the game. This is a series winning match for New Zealand Women team as they've already won the first T20 match. Both the teams have faced in 10 T20 matches and every match have been won by New Zealand Women team. Sri Lanka have good players and slowly they're getting importance. Over time we can expect the team to improve whereas New Zealand Women team is one among the best and the goodness is that the Women team were given equal importance same as the mens team by the New Zealand Cricket Board.
531  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We All Know, The halving time will be full of drama on: July 10, 2023, 05:00:07 AM
By the time of halving the price used to increase. This is much known and majority of the bitcoiners try to keep hold of the bitcoin atleast till halving as it is possible to enjoy assured profit. The price to reach high from a higher price is different from reaching higher price from the bottom. For this reason we'll able to see the price to decrease or move in a stabilized manner for a long time period close around the days of halving. This price dumping takes place by its own, and here the price movement is connected with SEC and other events happening around. In reality if this is the day close to halving the price will drop unlike the incidents happening around.
532  Economy / Economics / Re: Agriculture can save your country from recession on: July 09, 2023, 11:43:11 PM
Countries that are good in agriculture have made good progress in the economy. More countries have begun to concentrate on agriculture. Even the corporate networks have begun to focus on agriculture. Microsoft have bought agricultural lands considering the future. These corporate firms were more futuristic, which means they have well understood the future and working on it.

The worst happening with agriculture is the lack of importance given. Most of the time third parties eat the profit. Governments need to make arrangements, because people find it hard and don't enjoy the good out of their efforts.

The Netherlands played two matches against Sri Lanka. They were badly defeated in both the matches. In both the matches Sri Lanka set a low target but the Netherlands could not win. The Netherlands scored 192 runs against Sri Lanka in the previous match and today they scored only 105 runs. I don't think this team can play well in the World Cup. They will lose every match.
Netherlands is the best team that is available to get a slot in the final 10, think about a scenario when other associate teams gets a slot, it will be a one sided affairs and there is no way they are going to upset any major teams and the thing that is going to happen is that the teams facing Netherlands in the World Cup would view it as a practice match to boost up their averages Cheesy.

Netherlands are finalists of this CWC and they deserve to play the world cup. Netherlands is not playing the WC for the very first time as they played 1996 ODI world cup also. All teams need to be careful while playing against Netherlands as they have beaten WI while have given tough time to SL.  Netherlands bowling is good but they need to pay attention to there batting.
Netherlands doesn't have consistency in performance. At times the batting order performs well and bowling line-up too gives the best. The best thing happened with the match against West Indies. Look at the match against Sri Lanka, the bowling order performed well and the batting order completely collapsed. I don't think Netherlands would be making big change in the World Cup Matches.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 09, 2023, 07:43:00 PM
Quit gambling is always possible based on the person's mindset. He himself need to prepare his mind and find an alternate to keep himself focused whenever there arises some thoughts about gambling.

A person trying to get out of gambling should have some scheduled plan. One cannot easily end it all of the sudden. Little by little need to take break from gambling, so that one gets the time to realise and end gambling than just prolonging the addiction.

India Women vs Bangladesh Women

We were able to see good number of matches taking place between different women's team. The three match T20 series between India Women and Bangladesh Women have begun. In the first match Bangladesh Women team scored 114 runs, and India Women team have reached the target comfortably losing 3 wickets. Harmanpreet Kaur as usual performed well scoring 54 *runs out of 34 balls. These matches surely help with the improvement of the team performance.
536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accepting Bitcoin on: July 09, 2023, 06:13:27 PM
Accepting bitcoin into any business is really profitable and this doesn't happen all of the sudden and we should have the patience to experience the goodness of bitcoin acceptance. Even the large corporate firms have failed in bitcoin acceptance into their business even after big promotions. So, when we make a plan to accept bitcoin we should have the better understanding and have the waiting time to receive good business.
537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 09, 2023, 05:38:33 PM
Addiction happens with a person when his mind doesn't think of anything other than gambling. Mostly this takes place when a person loss continuously. He/She will think of recovering the lost amount in gambling, some will be successful while the rest will losing further. This keep the addiction continue. Successful gamblers have control on their gambling activity and they won't get addicted easily.

One need to understand well about gambling before getting into it. This is how one can keep his gambling activity good without getting into addiction. Gamblers should know when to start and when to take a break to keep the gambling activity healthy.
538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My personal savings now I will invest in Bitcoin on: July 09, 2023, 01:12:42 PM
Considering the prevailing situation of the banks it is good to move the funds to bitcoin. Bangladesh is one among the country that have made more restriction on usage of bitcoin. Some have suggested to invest partially on bitcoin and keep the rest in cash. By the time you should understand the risks, because when you're in need you can't expect the investment to return good profit as you need to have patience to hold. If you're with a good day job that can fulfill your daily expenses, then it is good to consider it a long term investment and try to increase the holding through trading.
539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: July 09, 2023, 01:03:40 PM
Sri Lanka haven't lost any of the matches in the World Cup Qualifier. With its previous win Netherlands is highly confident to chase targets. However to play against experienced teams is still a struggle. The score of 233 runs seems a reachable target, but Sri Lanka is getting better in its bowling order. Particularly the spinners were performing good, today the fast bowlers have been giving good break from the beginning. Already Madushanka have taken 3 wickets as Netherlands have lost 4 wickets scoring 39 runs in 8 overs.

In both matches against the Netherlands, we saw some poor batting from the Sri Lankan batsmen. In the previous match, Sri Lanka's collection was 213 runs. And today they managed to collect 233 runs. But the Sri Lankan bowlers bowled well in both these matches. Netherlands batsmen are not able to survive at the crease against Sri Lanka's experienced bowlers. The Netherlands team lost 5 wickets to collect only 41 runs. However, the match is not important for either team. Because they have already qualified for the World Cup. Even so, I don't think the Netherlands will bat that badly. Collecting 100 runs is now a tough task for the Netherlands.

It seems like Srilanka will easily win this final match at Harare against Netherlands. Although I thought that Srilanka did not make good runs as they could only reach 233 but this seems to be more than enough for them. They were all out in the 47th over. Sahan Arachchige  made 57 runs and was the highest run maker from Srilanka.

Netherlands had the worst possible chase in this match. They are 6 down for 82 runs. All their batsmen completely failed today.
Only Max O'Dowd is batting  at 33 and the rest are unable to reach even double figures.

Max O'Dowd have fallen to Theekshana at 33 runs. Now Netherlands is 7 wickets down and the score is just 92 runs. Unlucky Scotland, because their small mistakes and miscalculations have costed them to leave the ODI World Cup 2023. The team that performed well against Scotland at the very critical time now struggling to reach 100 runs shows the bad play against the experienced ones. Madushanka is the star of the match to take some quick wickets and collapse the opening. If not the team might've scored something better than now. Anyhow in the World Cup Qualifier the performance of Sri Lanka is really great and exceptional. Lets see if they were able to continue it in the World Cup Matches.

If there arises an opportunity and if was due to the problem from their end. I'll try to have advantage through it. I haven't got opportunity, but this is the common thinking of each and every people. I'm not an exception, because we might've lost big on the platform, why not we get some of those losses back. This is how the mind thinks.
