Gill is fighting for his spot in the T-20 WC squad.  Grin
Competition is really tough. He got good starts in some of the matches, but he is yet to get a 50. Anyway, in today's match he may get to 50. Now he's batting on 46 and in all probability he should be getting a half-century. That said, the competition is really tough. A number of younger players are in contention for the top slot. BTW, GT looks all set to reach a total of around 180-200. But the big question is whether that is going to be enough at the Narendra Modi Stadium. It offers a lot of support for the batsmen.
Today Gill achieve first step for having his selection into next world cup with scoring 89 runs on 48 balls and keep his wicket till end is also good even I believe he is short of 10 to 15 runs because surely he deserves century with this performance and his team is also needed to be had 215 to 220 which could be much better still they are hot favourite for the third win from their four matches.

Rabada and Harshal Patel have special treatment from the GT batting in this match but still others were better and done good job now we are heading for the second inning with Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad are going to show their magic today we need good batting from the Jonny Bairstow who is out of form and today need to give his best if he wants his team have second win of this season in this game.

I find the anticipation exciting, I'm mostly into football betting nowadays and it still applies. Observing what matches to bet on, then waiting for the games to start and predict if you were accurate, it's kind of thrilling and exciting. It can also be rewarding if you actually were right in your predictions and manage to earn money through it. So yes, gambling is still a fun activity that can fuel different emotions depending on the outcome and the occasion.
Though it's different in sports betting than gambling games, what you said is the actual fun in gambling which most people miss, they are more focused on profit and loss than enjoying the process itself. One should make up their mind before one makes their bet that one will either win or lose and regardless of the results, one will enjoy every moment of the match that one has a bet on. It's natural and understandable to have mixed emotions when your team is performing well and vice versa, but one shouldn't let that ruin the experience.

So, I would suggest everyone worry less about the win and loss and enjoy the process after you have made your bet. Though this can't be said for gambling games, one should still enjoy their gaming experience while they are at it than worrying about wins and losses occurring.

Things started to go upside down for Marseille once again these days. They lost their last two games. Maybe those games weren't the most comfortable ones but I would still expect to see better performances than that. 0 goal against PSG and Rennes combined... They couldn't score against PSG home while their opponent was playing with 10 players either.  Sad

These results caused the gap with the fourth position to reach seven points. There are Nice and Lens between as well so Marseille are just making things really difficult for themselves by that. While there are seven weeks left I started to think Marseille won't be making it to the Champions League.
Marseille was one of the best clubs in French Ligue 1 with usually we have PSG, Marseille and Monaco at the top but in this season we have big setbacks for them with Lyon stay in relegation zone and now having spot into middle of the league table and Marseille which was doing good again having three matches losing streak with now in next game they are going to play against Lille which is currently at the fourth spot and want to secure their place for the fourth spot having good performance can give them bad result which will be surely going to be worst for the Marseille because in case of lost they could be also lost their chance for ending at the fourth spot in this season.

We are having serious decline in quality and consistency in all top Ligue 1 clubs which is matter of concern for them with French soccer federation also needs to do something for the improvement in quality and performance because this is surely going to have problem for them as well in the future.

I still regret thinking about that day not long ago when Bitcoin was $24k. I had $800 worth of bitcoins and when Bitcoin hit $45K, out of necessity I sold $700. Fortunately, there were $100 worth of bitcoins left which is around $500 at this time. Now, every time I look at my wallet I feel sorry for my sold BTCs and I wish I had them too.

Overall, it's all about patience and having enough belief and also having enough funds in hand so that you don't need to sell your Bitcoin when you face an emergency like me. If none of this is the case, I would always advise people not to sell their BTC unnecessarily because Bitcoin is going to go up a lot, and we are just getting started, bull run is yet to come.

After winning the T20 series, the Sri Lankan team had a celebration aimed at Bangladesh, which Bangladesh did their own way after winning the ODI series. As the two teams have their own celebrations against each other in ODIs and T20Is, everyone has been eyeing how which team celebrates in the Test series. However, after winning the Test series in a big way, the Sri Lankan team had a very normal celebration, which I personally like very much. If any celebration is aimed at a team or a specific player, it does not look good at all.

Now if we talk about the performance then Sri Lanka's performance in the second test match must be praised because Sri Lanka batted and bowled brilliantly in the second test match. Although Bangladesh only reduced the margin of defeat in the second innings but could not save the team from defeat. Bangladesh has done well in T20 and ODI cricket but still need to improve considerably in Test cricket.
After winning second test and series things were pretty normal for the Sri Lankan team which is good gesture from them even we need rivalry between them because this will create good cricket for the fans and things could be more competitive but for this all we also need improvement in quality of Bangladesh test team because currently they are one of the worst teams in this format which having no depth and technique which is important for the success.

Now having teams in all three formats are not easy for any board just because of this now we need some changes in this all which will increase quality for few teams and things could be more competitive because test format is going tough day by day and few teams are badly down to achieve something better hopefully in near future we will have some better from the ICC which also needs support from all boards as well.

I don't see any reason why a gambling company would do anything to keep people away from gambling when their revenue is generated by it. They wouldn't do it, they don't need to, all they can do is give a warning and that's it, remaining is the responsibility of the gambler and companies that work on such things. You can't have a board in front of your shop telling people they will get sick if they eat cold stuff when you are selling ice cream.

Besides, I don't think that the fact why so many people get addicted to gambling is because they are unaware of its effects and that it can have negative consequences, but it is mostly because they don't have patience and self-control, and even if they start gambling with the thought that they wouldn't get addicted to it, they would still get addicted to it because of this reason.

It's very clear to see, even though for fans that are not too into football, because if you look at their performance this season especially against the bigger teams,  you will observe that it was only against Manchester united that they didn't struggled, if not, they struggled against all other top side unlike last season that they where on fire.

Talking about their encounter between real madrid, to me it would be very difficult for them to eliminate real madrid considering their form, even though they are still the bookmarkers favourites, due to their experience and the kind of caliber of players in their ranks, but I believe that it's really going to be a fascinating encounter between this two teams, but nothing is impossible in football, if they can raise their game to the level of last season, then I believe that they can eliminate real madrid with such performance.
Yeah, their performance is surely not as we have in last season things are looking surely some down specially with their attack which is having no power which was expected and their performance against Liverpool and Arsenal were also not good which is clearly indicating Real Madrid is going to be the toughest opponent for them in this game and if they are going to have no goals from their attack then surely things can go against them in this quarterfinal even we can expect their elimination as well.

Even Real Madrid is also having some troubling time but still they are much better and well-balanced because they are giving their opponents no space and their track record is also much better than Manchester City so it's going to be one of the most exciting matches in coming quarterfinals for the soccer fans.
488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 03, 2024, 06:29:42 AM
Among the team's Arsenal, Manchester City, it is Liverpool that has the champions mark for the premiership title this season despite the struggles between these three. If you take a look at the remaining games of Liverpool their opponents are not that much of a big sides in comparison to Manchester city and Arsenal's opponents. Only that this is football we can give many theoretical analysis about the advantages that differentiate a big team and gives the why they have to win against a small team but when the ball bounce the practical results has many times been the opposite, a situation where we see small teams beating big clubs.
Exactly, Liverpool has the opportunity to become champions of the English League this season because in the upcoming match they should have an opponent that is very easy to beat, but in July it looks like Liverpool will meet Arsenal. If luck is with Liverpool then victory will be easy to get. Maybe there is a chance for Liverpool to become champions again after several years of not being able to win in the Premier League.
Today we are going to have two games with Arsenal is going to host Luton Town and Manchester City is going to host Aston Villa most chances both host teams will win and secure top and second spot for the one day with tomorrow we are going to have Liverpool is going to host Sheffield United so they will be overtaken their top spot, but next round is going to be interesting because Arsenal will visit Amex Stadium Brighton and Liverpool will be visited Old Trafford which is looking for the another win against Liverpool which is surely going to be had big challenge for them.

But, if we have won for the Liverpool then surely title race is also going to be ended and things will be well under control for them, but surely this is going to be not easy game for the both teams, but Liverpool is going to be well settled team which will surely give his best for having win in this game for the title.
489  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Just because some meme coin or other low Cap coin listed don't mean it's over on: April 02, 2024, 02:08:02 PM
This can be a good strategy if one is convinced and researched that the coin will go further. Otherwise, we may face a huge loss if the new coin is going to be introduced to the market and doesn't run successfully. There are thousands of such cases in front of us where newly listed coins never went up again after launch which are still present in the market in the form of dead coins.

After reading your post, an example came to my mind which I always hear from my elders: It is better to buy something expensive once than to buy cheap things again and again.

The main causes of loss in trading are greed and haste. I suggest that before investing in any project one should investigate thoroughly whether the investment is small or large. After all, the money is your own, so never trade in haste, that too on new coins.
490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How about your experience in taking part in the same bet with friends? on: April 02, 2024, 10:38:06 AM
Well, when you bet with your friends around and all of you are placing your bets on the same or opposite sides, you tend to have more fun than being worried about the bets unless you guys are addicted gamblers and bet large amounts even when you are betting against each other. When you are with friends, you should make bets just for fun so that you guys can watch the game together and have some fun and enjoy the time while you are all together regardless of the result of the game.

When I'm with my friends, we don't bet on games by going to a betting shop or betting online but we do live bets between us which is like if I win, I will take the guys out for dinner or drinks and the same would be for the other guy that is betting against me. Such bets are more fun though they can be costly sometimes, lol.
491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Countdown to the 4th Bitcoin halving.. what should we expect? on: April 02, 2024, 09:23:54 AM
Expect nothing? BTC will eventually go above $100k everybody can see that but is it going to be enough for you? Everybody is living their own reality. Depending on how many coins you hodl and what your entry price is, your expectations may vary a lot. So if you don't expect anything, you won't get disappointed if nothing happens. However, if something slightly good happens, then you will be very happy because your expectations were very low. (basically nothing) That's the secret recipe of being a long term hodler. Just pretend dead because dead people are the best investors according to Fidelity.[1]
One thing I always say is that expectations hurt.
There is nothing wrong with thinking positively and being optimistic, but too many expectations will only disappoint you. It can be even more painful when you want to invest in projects that pay off over a long period. We should keep our minds ready for any situation because trading is not something in which you will get fixed and constant profit.

I am very optimistic about Bitcoin like all traders, I am optimistic that BTC will go higher, but I always keep my mind open to the possibility that anything can happen so we should be ready for any kind of results in the short or long run.

Does it really matter? I mean first of all super cup is definitely the most important game that week, there is no doubt about that, it wouldn't have mattered if there were other games, secondly postponing one more week helps other teams more than these two, because while these two will play, others will rest and get back to club chemistry form again.

All in all I am sensing that it is going to be quite good period in the end and we should be seeing something that will benefit everyone. Let the teams rest a bit, this weekend was election weekend as I can see from the news, and that is good enough reason to stop, this way everyone will have their players fully rested and maybe even some injured players returned as well.

Today after few hours we are heading for the 26th round matches with mostly we will have top teams against relegation zones just one match which is going to have good chance for the Al Ittihad to jump at the third spot is going to play King Abdullah Sports City Jeddah with Al Ahli which was doing good now have problems and losing points frequently and Al Ittihad is now having good change of the fortune with they are improving their quality and which bring them to the fourth spot.

Now if today we will have win for the Al Ittihad will be at the third spot which could be enough for them after having the worst time and staying into middle of the league table now Karim Benzema is also doing good for the team after having some bad time in off the field issues.
494  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: April 01, 2024, 02:46:23 PM
The results of the poll is almost 50-50 now. But I believe there's no need to ask this as it is of course very obvious that the gambler and his immediate family are the ones who are directly affected by his gambling habits. Or if the gambler is not living with his immediate family, the people affected are the ones who are living with him because they can see or feel directly what he is going thru. The emotional roller-coaster ride alone will have an impact on the people living with him.
There are no effects of gambling for people who are living with the gambler but aren't directly associated or dependent on him which means that if they share a house or live together but don't take care of expenses mutually or have anything shared that involves finances. So, even if the gambler loses everything, they won't get affected by it because then it will be the responsibility of the gambler to take care of himself.

However, you are right that the direct family will get affected by gambling because the gambler is person who needs to take care of the family and to provide everything they need. So, if the gambler is losing everything on gambling, that will cause problems for the family as well.

If I have the money I would rather go into business and start something that will be profitable and it must be a business that you understand and know very because if you go into a business ventures that you don't know very well you may run into loose
Yeah, most of the time people get money in their hands but they don't know the proper way of using that money. They waste it here and there because they lack planning and expertise in any field. Still, if a person has already planned everything, has always been eager to start a certain business that they know a lot about, and has thought everything through, they would get right into it as soon as they get enough money in hand and such people are the ones who tend to get success in their lives.

However, as they say, the higher the risk, the higher the reward. So, maybe sometimes one should take some risks with money that they know they can afford to lose just to see if they can get success in a certain field which has a lot of risk of also have the potential to provide great profit upon success.

And for 30 minutes, every visitor to the site moves the winners list down one position. A small battle of the contestants, which brings some interactivity and proves that we don't fake the results. you can log in from two different gadgets and check how the system works.
I'm unsure where I should view the list, is it the current lottery tickets tab? Or it is not yet live? How would you prevent people from spamming new website visits and how reliable is the UI? I'm discussing whether there is a lag between each visit and updating the winner. Not sure who would attack it as of now, but if the traffic increases wouldn't it be problematic if someone could DDOS your website easily? Correct me if I misunderstood something.
You can scroll at the bottom of the page and you will see a section called random winners. You can hover the list from either from left to right or right to left, to see all of them. There is also history winners which you can click on the bottom of them. These features are obviously already live because if not, we are not going to see them.

A website visit is a good thing to the website owners, so they won't ever prevent them except only if they are already a bot which aims to destroy the site but I am sure they already prepare a solution for it. The UI may not be reliable for now but there is always a room for improvement, if ever they are serious on this business.
497  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is meme narrative shifting from Solana to BASE, BNB? on: March 31, 2024, 02:35:03 PM
I don’t think momentum has slowed down on SOL network. Only the last few days really crazy memecoins have been pumping hard on SOL. I assume these things go in phases, people move from chain to chain, wherever the money is. I think MATIC seems to be creeping into the picture too.
True following the money, I think I'll explore other chains now. I'm checking Pump on Bitget and I can see an entry.. might take it..
If Solana continues to develop its technology and attract more users and developers it could increase demand for the coin and potentially increase its price. It is impossible to predict the exact price of SOL as it will depend on many factors that are difficult to predict. Based on the current trend and potential for growth and adoption the SOL price may reach higher growth by the end.
They already have the momentum, so it's now going to be easy for them to do what you are telling there. They need to show to the public that they are a worthy project to pick up and keep for the long term by fixing their past issues and give compensation by releasing more quality updates. It's hard to predict the price of a non-stable crypto and all of us here are only guessing.

The meme narrative right now is still for Solana and it may continue like this for quite some time. BNB is old and its meme narrative is already over, while BASE might be a new thing and it will need to prove its worth first before the narrative transfers to it.

every time you decide on something you risk something also. you and your wife decide to buy a house in the city, you are risking whether it's a good neighborhood to raise a child.
you decide to buy a house far from the city, you risk whether you can find a good job far from the city. every decision appends risks.

because you throw yourself into many possibilities, you gotta do your worst. this is why you need plan to achieve your goals.
I think no, not all things in life has a risk. What about when buying a basic necessity and you are buying on the same store which offers quality products? Risk can mainly be found on business, investing, and trading because there is no guaranteed that what we got in exchange for our money, can bear profits. The example you have given there about raising a child, can always be analysed before we buy a house. Same goes when we are going to find a job, we can always check the job vacancies available in the area.

Planning in achieving our goals can reduce risk, so all must have that, yet even if some has it, there is still a chance that they won't stick on it. We don't want the worse things to happen but like it or not, they can always come. We only need to do our best in order to get out of it.

PSV'S performance today wasn't really such a good one but then it still didn't do so much harm to them as they are still ahead at the top of the table with ten points which is still a very safe zone for them without much fear of been displaced by any team any soon on their League this season, they have been able to maintain the top position on the table the longest this season as no other team has been at the top that long.

PSV has been really up with an excellent performance this season but this evening they seem to have had one of their poor's forma and lost so badly but then they are still safe and this is one of the advantages of getting as much point as you can when the opportunity avails it self so I'm times like this even your loss wouldn't do so much to you because you have got a whole lot of points to cushion the effects of such losses but it becomes a problem when it becomes a series of losses you may be at risk of stepping down a d possibly been over taken by another and reduce your chances at the trophy by the end of the season.

Regardless of what happens, I think PSV still stands tall and With the best chance of winning the league title this season than others so they are actually not in so much hurry to maintain their top position but then it's aswell important thsy don't get to suffer this kind of losses again before it gradually becomes effective on their positions in the league because others are definitely wanting to get to the top too aswell.
We have busy day in all leagues after the break with few surprises are also happened around the matches like PSV lost their first game in Eredivisie in this season and this defeat came against Nijmegen which is currently at the fifth spot and now having four wins from their last five games in another game AZ Alkmaar is also having win by good score or 2–0 with this win now their spot for the Europa League qualification is settled because they are having 10 points difference from the fifth spotted team and their current performance is also good which is another big change after having few bad results which was indicating they could be slipped and lost their chance for staying at the top.

Now the title race is almost ended as we have PSV at the top clearly, and they are also showing no challenge is coming for them in this season.

Generally, if any team is able to give a big target at the beginning of the batting, it must be difficult for the opposite team to win by chasing runs. A big target for Lucknow Super Giants in the 11th match of this season puts them ahead for victory. On the other hand, Punjab Kings batsmen also tried but they could not overcome that score in the allotted overs. Their opening partnership was good but T20 cricket a player must have proper knowledge over all condition of the match. Moreover, if its value is greater, one must play aggressively otherwise it is never possible to overcome the big run hill.

Lucknow Super Giants have exploited the fact that whoever wins the toss first has a slight advantage. They decided to bat. I highly doubt Punjab Kings team will do well in this tournament. The presence of prominent players in the team is less. Apart from Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow, the performances of the rest are not very satisfactory.
After conceding 199 runs PBKS have good start of their inning and Shikhar Dhawan and Johnny Bairstow manage 100 runs in 11 overs but sadly after fall of first wicket things gone terrible for them and their middle order fail to have anything good for the win of their team just because of this we have no win for them in last two games they have to do something for their middle order which give them solid performance otherwise things can go bad for them in coming matches as well.

Three quick wickets for the Mayank Yadav break the backbone of the PBKS, and then we have no fight from them in remaining overs which give them 21 runs defeat and first wins of this win to LSG which is having good quality players in this season for having better results.
