An addict will never stop having the desire to gamble, he can only take control of himself and keep his distance from gambling. But unfortunately, you will never understand for sure whether such a person has got rid of addiction, because he can lie.
Any type of addict will never admit he is an addict. He would rather claim himself innocent. Sometimes he will pretend that he is not addicted in any way. Also, a common denominator among addicts is that they tend to be liars. They often lie. But if the gambler can truly be freed from his addiction by his good effort, it  he will not become addicted if he gambles again. I have seen addicted gamblers who were addicted at one point and then returned to normal gambling life but they also changed a lot during this time. But agreed with your thought that there are many instances of gamblers claiming to be non-addicts even though they are addicted.
That is the true attitude of gambling addict and of course they do not want other people to think badly of the addiction they are experiencing, even now all types of addiction have really had significant impact on everyone development.
They claim that they are fine because they are not aware of the bad impacts in the future and they will only be able to think and regret when they have experienced destruction that really cannot be resolved easily.
Talking about gambling addicts and drug addicts, actually these two types of addiction are very different and have different side effects, on average, drug addicts will feel anxiety and thoughts that are truly like crazy.
Moreover, drug addict will be much more dangerous than gambling addict because this is not about finances and mental health but damaged brain nerves and health.
I will respect and feel more sympathy for gambling addicts than drug addicts.

In gambling addiction, there are still various efforts that can be made in order to truly recover and leave gambling altogether and of course what they say, even if it is lie, is also intended so that there are no bad views or conversations about him.
Moreover, apart from gambling having negative impacts, there are also several positive impacts that can be studied.

Gambling addicts will never admit that they are addicted to gambling. The other persons, those who are near to them, have to make them realize that they are doing excessive gambling and it can be very harmful for them in the future, otherwise the person who is gambling addict will never know about it.

I will say that it is our responsibility that we help our gambling friends who are in a difficult situation, who are losing a lot of money due to excessive gambling but they are not aware that they are gambling addicts and also they do not know how to get rid from this problem.

Gambling addiction may seem a very small issue but in fact, it is something very serious, especially for those who are affected by it. Only those who are involved in it know how much difficult it is to control themselves and also to control their emotions and then face the family's feelings about them on losing money and all such social problems

An easy win for SA today after they bowled out India at 211. Only two fifties in this match from India side and SA don't have to work hard to chase that small target. In first ODI we saw SA bowled out for just 116 runs and today SA was on top. Both teams are now equally popular for the last game and its not easy to predict who will win the last game.   

India lost the match against South Africa. Ruturaj Gaikwad made just 4 runs in 2 balls and after that, he lost his wicket. He made 4 runs by hitting a four.

Sai Sudharsan played very well, he tried to save the Indian team in this match but the other team of India didn't stand with him. He used 83 balls and he was able to make 62. It is average runs, but at that time, these runs were very good because these runs produced confidence, and in these 62 runs he made 34 runs by using boundaries which in 7 fours and 1 six.

Regarding the final match, i reckon, India will bounce back and win the match and the series. However, nothing can be said with certainty unless we see the match results.

I am with you on this. Yes, we have our own favorite teams that we are all rooting for.
However, when it comes to betting, I also follow my instincts even if it is not my team.
Because at the end of the day, it is your money at stake. They don't care about your funds, whether you lose it or not.
So you can cheer on your favorite team but your bets may be on the opposite team. For me, that's more than understandable.

I think it is impossible to cheer up your favorite team if you are placing the bet on the opposite team. So now, what will be your preference, would you like that your favourite team win and you to lose your bet (as you were cheering for your favorite team)? Or you may that your favourite team loses so that you can win the bet.

I know this situation is difficult where your mind is with the team you bet and your heart wants your favorite team to win. If this situation comes to me, I will avoid placing a bet on such matches where I am too emotional with my favorite team even though it may be the weaker team out of the two.
There are too many matches out there, where we can bet, so leaving such matches and watching them without betting is a better and stress free option in my opinion.

India vs South Africa in today's second ODI match, batting in the first innings, India collected 211 runs and got all out. In today's match, the Indian team did not bat very well due to which they did not score many runs. But today it can be safely said that South Africa is looking forward to a great win against India and in the end the result will be South Africa win. South Africa's batsman Tony de Zorzi's amazing batting form today led South Africa to win against India. Tony de Zorzi's brilliant batting performance of 122 off 119 runs saw us win a remarkable victory.
In today game, South Africa team get a chance by winning a toss and they elected bowl first in 2 nd game. India game showed worst effort in today game and they started first by batting lineup. India team scored total 211 runs in 46.2 overs after 46.2 overs entire team of India team dismissed from pitch. T. de Zorzi batsman effort very good in today game because he scored 119 runs in 122 balls with nine 4s and six 6s on pitch. T. de Zorzi was not dismissed from any bowler of Indian team and we know that India team is not a weak in cricket game. Now , both teams won one game each and equal chance to win 3 rd last game and win this series. South Africa won this game by 8 wickets and 45 balls high margin or wickets and balls.

Ruturaj Dashrat Gaikwad used 2 balls and able to made 4 runs. Sai Sudharsan made 62 runs and used 83 balls. Tilak Varma made 10 runs and used 30 balls. The captain KL Rahul made 56 runs and used 64 balls. Sanju Samson made 12 runs and he used 23 balls. Rinku Singh made 17 runs in 14 balls. Axar Patel made 7 runs in 23 balls. Kuldeep Yadav made 1 runs in 5 balls. Arshdeep Singh used 17 balls and he made 18 runs. Avesh Khan made 9 runs and he used 9 balls. Mukesh Kumar made 9 balls in 4 runs.

Short summary is that India's batsmen did not bat well and they were all out at 211 in 46.2 overs. There was no way, India could win this match unless they also bowled out South Africa, but it did not happen. South Africa achieved the target by losing only two wickets.

There were quite a few surprises from the IPL auction yesterday. Players who were retained would be complaining that the ones who got the bid this year benefitted a lot. Mitchell Starc setup a new record, with a bid of $2,980,000 from Kolkata Knight Riders. Pat Cummins was not far behind, with a bid of $2,470,000 from Sunrisers Hyderabad. But the real surprise package was Daryl Mitchell who got a bid of $1,687,000 from the Chennai Super Kings. Cricket Australia would be most happy, as they will receive a fraction of the contract amount (20%) as foreigner release fee.

Yesterday the IPL auction was finished and A new record was created in this auction, which was the first time, a player came who took a 24.75 crore salary to IPL 2024 and this player's name is Mitchell Starc, and the franchise who picked him is Kolkata Knight Riders, and if you don't know that IPL winning price is 20 crores Indian rupees, and Indian players like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and other seniors take just 16 crore or max to max 17 crore, and Jasprit Bumrah took max to max 12 crore.

No doubt, IPL is the highest paying league and i wonder if these players earn too much in this league. That's the obvious reason that once we have IPL, no other International cricket matches take place during that time.

I think there were some players who were overpriced and some players who were underpriced. RCB just Alzarri Joseph for 11.5 Crore while they let Hazlewood go away for lower that price. Players like Travis Head were bought at a bargain price in my opinion.

What surprised me was players Steve Smith, Josh Hazlewood, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, and Tabriz Shamsi went unsold. Meanwhile, some teams bought players overpriced, and these players went unsold.  Some players who I thought would go unsold were bought as well. Mustafizur Rahman is an example.

Well, there is some time in IPL but BBL is in progress at the moment. Though not much hype here, but sill we have some good matches to watch in this year's BBL.

Today is the 9th match of BBL and this 9th match is played in between as usual two teams, and this is a very exciting match because this is the time of the Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers.

Hobart Hurricanes team is very strong they had best to best player who can easily beat Perth Scorchers bowlers because one time Hobart batsmen started to hit so to stop them is not hard it's impossible without using magical bowling. Hobart had players who could easily end the game of Perth Scorchers because Hobart had no players, they had magicians.

The third and final ODI between India and South Africa will be played at Boland Park in Paarl tomorrow. At this point, the series is tied 1-1, so whomever wins tomorrow's match will be the series winners. India won the first match in a comprehensive manner, thanks to some spectacular performance by Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan. But the Indian batsmen disintegrated against Nandre Burger in the second match. For the third match toss is going to be important, as those who have fielded first have won both the matches so far. Also, Sai Sudharsan has impressed everyone in his debut series. So far he has 117 runs from 2 matches. 

Yesterday was the second match between India and South Africa and this match was won by South Africa, and India lost it in a very bad way.

I think that KL Rahul doesn't deserve captaincy because he is not able to become a captain of a very big team that had the no.1 ranking in all formats, so how KL Rahul can become a captain of this country who is World Champion, and KL Rahul performance was also not fair in the recent one-day-international World Cup. He is not a player like a captain.

In yesterday's match, Ruturaj Gaikwad didn't perform well, he is not a good player, and I don't know why BCCI gave him too many chances to play. He made just 4 runs in 2 balls, and the second player who was standing on runs when Ruturaj Gaikwad lost his wicket was played well according to ODI.

At least, he gave confidence to their partners who would play in that match after him. He also hit a six, and he made 62 runs in 83 balls, he tried to lead his team to win but South Africa won the match by 7 wickets.

Of course you should research a site on your own and use that site.  Then you will have more fun using those sites and can gamble with confidence.  And if you choose a site after listening to others, it will not bring you confidence.  And if you don't gamble with confidence, you will lose big most of the time.  But yes it is good to get some advice from others it will help you to do better research. It can give you a better experience in gambling

Many trusted sites advertise on bitcointalk and stake.com can be considered as one of the best gambling sites. However, it is difficult to say that any one site is the most trusted and the rest are not. Every good gambling site is trustworthy and it is a personal preference where the gambler would like to bet. Some gamblers may prefer to play casino games and sports betting on the same site and therefore they will prefer the site offering the two.

Anyways, everyone can share their experiences on which gambling sites they gamble and let people decide for themselves, which sites they want to test and play. Another important thing among the trusted sites is that some may like one interface provided by the gambling site while others may like some other interface by another site. Same goes for features such as different odds offered by different sites.

OP I agree with you. No other batsman except Soumya Sarkar could score good runs in the second ODI against New Zealand. If one or two players like Soumya Sarkar could have scored a century or a fifty, then maybe the score of Bangladesh would have been a little bigger, then Bangladesh could have won this match very easily. But I think the main reason for losing today's match is Bangladesh's poor bowling. We missed Taskin a lot in today's match. Bangladesh bowlers could not bowl well, Bangladesh set a target of 292 runs to South Africa. If Bangladesh could have bowled a little better then maybe Bangladesh could have won this match very easily.

The match of New Zealand vs Bangladesh was won by New Zealand as they did a wonderful performance. Strangely performance by Soumya Sarkar , he made 169 runs in 100 strike rate alone, the players who made these runs in the test match we thought that he is a very good player but Soumya Sarkar made 169 runs in ODI in 151 balls, he is an unbelievable player.

These 169 runs by him could not made possible this victory otherwise they couldn't have lost this match even worse, and he also hit 22 fours and 2 sixes. He is a very good player and if he play like that so he takes the place of Shubham Gill in the ranking. However, despite all this, Bangladesh end up on the losing side.

In T20 cricket, if such a big score is collected, there is certain defeat. This is not a franchise league where match situations can change easily. In international cricket, the chances of chasing such a big score and winning percentages are very low. It was beyond anyone's imagination that Philip Salt would consistently do so well. Having scored centuries in two consecutive matches, he is introducing himself differently to the fans. As both the teams have won two matches each, everyone will be more interested in the last match. But I think those who will win the toss and take the fielding decision in the last match will have more chances of winning the match.
Exactly I also think that Phil Salt will do again. There is one match left that will be very interesting. Because both teams have won 2…2 matches and now there will be final and this match will decide that who will win this series. England made this huge score due to Phil Salt who was playing really. I mentioned that he hit 10 sixes means he was playing very fast.
And you said the team who will choose to field first after winning toss will win the match. And I think the team who will play first and will make 190+ runs will win the match. I might be wrong but I think this will happen.

England team won yesterday's match and this match was thrilling. Phil Salt is the man of the match of yesterday's match against West Indies.

Phil Salt completed his century in just 56 balls, and if you remember that in the previous match of this series, Phil Salt also completed a century in the previous match of this T20 series. He played very well. He made 119 runs in just 57 balls. He played very well on yesterday's match.

By the way, the weather in Tarouba is not good but thankfully, the rain didn't come into the ground during the play. This means that the series is square 2-2 and we will have a final T20 match between the two teams. Now I will give an advantage to the England team as they will go to the final match with full confidence as they won the consecutive last two matches.

South Africa won the toss today and decided to field. After losing 2 wickets after India's 50 runs, India was under some pressure and tried to pull the team out from there, Sudharsan and Rahul.sai. Sudharsan and Rahul performed fairly well. Sudharsan scored 62 runs from 83 balls and Rahul scored 56 runs from 64 balls. Apart from India's Sai Sudharsan and Rahul, no one has scored a good run. Finally, South Africa bowled India out for 211 runs. South Africa will bat at a target of 212 runs if the South African batsmen can bat well then today's match will be easily won by South Africa. If the Indian team wants to win today's match, they must bowl well. Let's see how well the Indian team can bowl.

The match of India and South Africa was finished yesterday and in this match, South Africa was won against India with a beauty.

Indian team can win if they have a good squad, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma are resting so maybe we will see him only at the World Cups.

They don't have any interest in playing series, and maybe Virat Kohli will not play in the T20 World Cup because, in the recent, a meeting was held between Virat and the some big BCCI people, and according to that meeting, Virat can't able to make his place in the T20 World Cup and they Iwshan Kishan to Virat.

Although that was a high scorin match between the Team West Indies and Team England because both the teams gave their strong batting line up although in the previous matches of the World cup if we see the overall performance of the team England batsmen in the World Cup that was not even that good but now in the series they are playing a good cricket and they aere proving themselves to be a better team.

Today we will see the match of West Indies and England and it will start in the next few hours and this will be a very exciting and unbelievable match because this match decide who will win this series; if West Indies wins so West Indies win this series and if England wins so the next match is a final match if England will win so 2-2 will happen and then the fifth match decide that who will win this series, and if West Indies won this series so they won both series of ODI and T20 against England. Waiting to see who will win today's match.

Odds suggest that England should win this match, as odds for England are 1.70 while for the West Indies, it is 2.08 (these odds are taken from stake.com).
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: December 19, 2023, 04:58:36 PM
In my opinion almost all steps that states take to "protect" gamblers have no real benefit. If they wanted to really help people with gambling addiction, they could open more free rehabilitation centers, advertise them on central television, launch information campaigns that would explain the negative consequences of mindless gambling. All this costs money, which will have to be allocated from the budget, so they simply do not make real steps, but only create the appearance of hard work.

It doesn't look good if they will open a rehabilitation centers of addicted gamblers as it will only imply that addiction has already become rampant.

Gambling is controllable by the government, since they regulated it, they have the right to ban it, or consider it as illegal. However, seeing the money that flows to the funding of the government, they can't make that kind of decision to stop, so it's really unto us now, either we become responsible, or be on the other side and experience the effect of addiction, after all the government doesn't care about us since gambling is not a necessity.

At all times there have been people who need help, and rehabilitation centers can provide help not only to people with gambling addiction, but also to people with other problems. Most often we see that rehabilitation centers are a separate segment from the state, respectively, which cannot be free of charge.

The state, instead of helping people, just replenishes its coffers. I think it's clear to everyone where this will lead. 

Are rehabilitation centers for gambling addicts are helpful? Do they play their part that gamblers will not take undue risk and follow the money management?

Risk management in gambling is very important but i do not think any third party centers can really help the gamblers. Even if the rehabilitation centres claim to reform the gamblers, but gamblers seek them when they are already addicted.
I do not know if anyone who starts gambling and is admitted in the rehabilitation centres to seek help. Some gamblers may join them but when they have already addicited or incurred a lot of loss.

There will be no problem if Pakistan temporarily rests two batsmen, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, and it would be better to replace them with two fresh faces in the team. But there is no option for Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi, he may be temporarily rested due to some injuries. Moreover, Naseem Shah is mainly out of the squad due to injury, but if Naseem Shah returns to the squad, Shaheen Afridi's lack will be filled to some extent. However, the lack of Mohammad Rizwan in the Pakistan team is not easy to fill. However, it is believed that the T20 squad would be best if some of Pakistan's new debutants are made up.

Finally, the squad of Pakistan has been released for the New Zealand tour 2024, and this squad is very good, The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) picked very good players, and they also picked players from domestic cricket like Sahibzada Farhan and others.

As you all know that in this time, Pakistan team is in the tour of Australia, and on this tour, Aamir Jamal did bowling very well he took 6 wickets on innings of Australia, but sadly we can't see Naseem Shah in this series due to injury but I hope that after this series we will see him.

We can say that from this series Pakistan team can win, and, In this series, Pakistan was given the chance to play to new player like Haseebullah, and Sahibzada Farhan. Haseebullah is a very good player he played PSL for Peshawar Zalmi and on their his performance was very extreme, and Zaman Khan also played in this series, and Abbas Afridi was also selected and he also played PSL for Multan Sultan. Pakistan squad is very good let's see if will they perform with this type of squad.

South Africa W vs Bangladesh W
Today is the third match of T20 series between Bangladesh Women vs South Africa Women. Bangladesh Women won the first match, the second match was abandoned due to rain. Bangladesh women are ahead to win the series by winning the first match. Today's match is an important match for both teams. Bangladesh women must win today's match to win the series. And if the match is unfortunately abandoned due to rain today too, Bangladesh women will win the series. South Africa Women need to win today's match to draw the series. Today both teams will try hard to win the match. Let's see which team can show a great performance and win today.
In 3 rd t20I game of Bangladesh women team and South Africa team has already finished and this game was played in Diamond Oval ground. South Africa women team getting a outstanding winning in this today game. South Africa women team won this game by 8 wickets which was a lot and 23 remaining balls. Bangladesh team set 94 runs target in 20 over by losing 6 wickets. L.Wolvaardt batters of South African team performed very well in this game and scored 49 runs in 49 balls with hitting five 4s. In Bangladesh team, L.Mondal performance was also brilliant but their other players of team did not support her and she scored 42 runs in 62 ball with two 4s. Winning this game, both teams lead by one one game because 2 nd game was abandoned with not result.

Tomorrow is the second ODI of Bangladesh women vs South African women. First of all, let's check the previous match result of the ODI of this series so in the previous game, the whole team of South Africa played very poor so this type of performance makes us wonder how this team has a ranked number three in women's ODIs and the country who led this team is also ranked number 7.

How is the ranking seven of the country women's team while the Bangladesh women's team plays well against the South African women's team?

Although that was a high scorin match between the Team West Indies and Team England because both the teams gave their strong batting line up although in the previous matches of the World cup if we see the overall performance of the team England batsmen in the World Cup that was not even that good but now in the series they are playing a good cricket and they aere proving themselves to be a better team.

Today is the fourth match of a big series, that is hosted by West Indies state whose name is Tarouba, and the match is between West Indies and England, as I said this match is set to be played in Tarouba, and if we talk to about the weather of Tarouba so in Tarouba there is small amount of rain that disturb the game in between break and breaks, but maybe they will not disturb because I think the timing f both things is different but I know that somehow rain will come in the match and disturb the match.

By the way, England needs to win this match to stay in the series and they would definitely want no interruptions. West Indies on the other hand would want to win this match and do not want to make it 2-2 series level and then everything will depend on the last match of the series.

Soth Africa vs India

So friends today is the 2nd ODI between South Africa and India. We all know that how the Indian team performance in the last match.

Arshdeep and Avesh Khan were really good in that match. I was looking that South Africa was not good overall in T20I series or in ODI series. In third T20I they made only 95 runs all team out and in the First ODI they made only 116 runs and all team out.
By the way I think South Africa will make a comeback today. Or maybe can give a surprise to everyone. But Indian team is really strong so we can't say anything at this time so let's see. Smiley


The second ODI match between India and South Africa has been started and in just 5 overs, the Indian team lost their one wicket so if they play like this then after some time, we will hear that the Indian team is all out on 100, but after this one wicket, Indian batsmen have been charged, and at this time, they try to be a huge run rate but South African bowler can't stable him to increase the run rate but I think that they will increase the run rate after consolidation.

Indian team can give a huge target. They have the tendency provided they make some good partnerships.
By the way, it was South Africa decision to make India bat first as they had won the toss.

Same here, i find it very stressful watching a game when you have a bet on either team. Most of the time, i won't watch it live, i will just watch the replay so i can see how the players were doing on that particular game as a reference for my next bet on them.

I bet to win, not for fun lol, but if my bet loses, i don't have regrets because that's my choice and i just put it in my mind that we will not always win in gambling, we win some we lose some.

I wished everyone would have this mindset of winning some of the bets and losing some. I do not know why some people think that they should not lose any bet and when they lose, they become too stressful. If you can't afford to lose money in gambling and betting, then i think one should not bet.

Watch the match which betting is fun too, as you take more interest in the match and you desperately want the team to win (on which you have bet). Sometimes i do not want to watch the match, but if bet on it, it creates more interest for me in the match. Even if I do not watch, I keep looking at the score to know if i could win or lose the bet.

What a disaster! South Africa all out for 116 runs. They gave a target which is lesser than Srilanka in thier home ground. Arshdeep Singh took 5 wickets, Avesh Khan took 4 wickets and Kuldeep Yadav took 1 wicket. India needs 116 runs to win the first ODI match in this series. I don't think South Africa has ever batted so bad against India while playing at home.

Arshdeep Singh is the man of the match, he took the 5 wickets of South African big to big batsmen and that's why he got the award of player of the match.

In the big matches, CricInfo also tells their player of the match which is known as CricInfon's MVP, and Arshdeep Singh is also Cricinfo's winner. Arshdeep Singh lost his form that's why he dropped from the recent World Cup, and after that, BCCI gave him a chance to play again but he didn't perform in that against Australia but now he performs average in the T20 series against South Africa but he proved him in ODI.

Right now almost 90% of the whole ICC audience is Indian. So I do not think anyone is going to dare fight against India for anything

India keeps winning matches as they are the hub of cricket. Yesterday's match was lost by South Africa because of their batting, I know the bowlers of South Africa also played very poorly because they accepted the loss, if the batsmen did good batting then the bowlers also tried to take wickets.

Reeza Hendricks, Hendrik Erasmus van der Dussen, and Wiaan Mulder, these are all the players who made zero runs, and the other batsmen are equally played like them but at least they made lowest to lowest 3 or 4 and highest to highest 6, 7, or 12. So, this is not a good score.
