Yesterday I said in one of my posts that if Bangladesh can take 5 wickets on the fourth day then Bangladesh will win going to the fifth day.  I said 5 wickets but Bangladesh took 7 wickets, it probably won't be too late to take the remaining three wickets for Bangladesh on the fifth day because it is difficult for the batsmen to bat on the wicket on the fifth day and then again there is only one professional batsman on the wicket. Even if Daryl Mitchell is not out, this wicket will not be so easy for those batting at the other site. 
Taijul Islam truns the ball around 4 degrees and 5 degrees, if the ball truns so much then it is very difficult for the batsmen to bat on such wickets.

Bangladesh quickly took the remaining New Zealand wickets quickly today and wrapped up the match in the first session of today's play. They won by 150 runs and it is indeed a big and important win for them.

Taijul Islam took 6 wickets in the 2nd innings making him the player of the match.

It was a disappointing performance from the New Zealand team. They need to improve on their batting and they do not have much time as the 2nd and the final test will start on December 06 at Mirpur.
1222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling on: December 02, 2023, 05:22:34 AM


I have seen crack heads more than responsible with there cash, than gambling addicts, this is what make me to ask you guys this question, drug junks are more responsible than gamblers, I have seen a gambling addict who spend 200 grand in under one and half hour on gambling, I've never seen a crack head done such before, not even on drugs.


You have a valid arguments even better than Drunkard and Womanizer  but let me tell you this .
it is indeed that Drug addict are better than Gambling addicts but that is if they will stick into drugs + liquor + woman , even those 3 combined won't make them lose amount being spent by gamblers.

But sorry to call this but most  drug abuser that I knew is also involved in Gambling , because some drugs even bring them Positive views and vibes that encouraged them to try and enjoy gambling.

so the bad effects is? they are not just in drugs but ended into all types of vices , but yeah you are good on that point and I must agree .

Well, I think that a gambling addict is bad for himself and too his family. He loses his own money and only his family and he himself will face the consequences of it and suffer. He is not bad for the society.

When it comes to the person who is drug addicted, he may not be in his senses after taking drugs. He may act violently in public and can damage the people or public property. The same goes for the person who is drunk. How many times we have seen a Drunkard person driving fast and having an accident on the road?

Keeping this aspect in mind, I think the Drunkards and those involved in different types of drugs are more dangerous for society.

Axar Patel, from India, took all three top order batsmen wickets of Australia. Look like this will be another close finish match, something we are consistently seeing in this series.
Yeah. Axar was brilliant and it didn't surprise me since he is easily one of the best Indian all-rounders these days while Chahar was alright though he was pretty expensive. Bishnoi is turning out to be a good all-rounder too.

Apart from Axar Paterl. who took 3 wickets, Deepak Chahar also took 2 wickets and played a part in this Indian victory. India won the T20 series and gave a message to the World that they were unlucky losing only one match in the World Cup 2023 and that too was the final mattch of the world cup.


On the other hand, it was a weird decision by Australia to rest their key players like Maxwell when this was a do or die match. Anyway, congrats India for winning the series.

Was he rested without any reason  Huh
Or maybe he was not fully fit on that day? Really, this was the important match for the Aussie to win and they should not have rested thier key players if they were fit to play.
1224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Many Bets to Know How Good Enough You Are? on: December 01, 2023, 05:03:40 PM
Well for me, since we are talking about how good we are when it comes to betting I think the higher the percentage of winning makes it acceptable to be called "good enough". 60% is for me quiet good but we all know that it's not that easy to achieve in just a short period of time. Though this depends on what kind of gambling we are in.

What about the number of bets, because only by talking about the percentage of return is not enough for anyone to know they are a good gambler/bettor or not. For example, I could bet twice in the same day and get up to 70%. Would that mean I am good? I don't think so.
I would even only bet once and that a good percentage, but that does not tell anything about how proefficient I am when comes to evaluating matches and trying to guess outcomes.
On the other hand, if I betted for a whole year and got 60% or 70% of profit by the end of the same year, that would be pretty good, even better than most of the stock market can get. That is when one can say one has become a professional bettor.

Though, I seriously doubt there are many professional ones in the world, just a hunch.  Tongue

Betting for the whole year and getting a 60-70% win rate is good enough but still, it needs to be further drilled down as to how much odds you took on each bet to get this percentage.

For Example, I can bet on odds like 1.01 to 1.05 and my winning percentage may be above 95% in the year but that does not mean that I am a good gambler or I made a lot of money.
Lowering the odds means less profit on winning but a low risk of losing.

If India post a total over 200 in this match, I don't see Australia winning this one because their main players like Maxwell etc are missing while the new players might stumble badly.

It all comes down to how well both teams bat since their almost all bowlers from both teams have been consistently underwhelming.

India can still win this match as they have scored way less than 200 runs, that is 174. They now need 76 runs with only 36 balls remaining, not impossible but a really difficult task. A big task on the shoulders of Tim David and Matthew Short. The top order from Australia failed today. The highest score was 31 by Travis Head.

Axar Patel, from India, took all three top order batsmen wickets of Australia. Look like this will be another close finish match, something we are consistently seeing in this series.

What about 10BTC investment? It generates 0.001BTC daily that is equal of $37 daily or 1200 USD monthly. It's more than enough income for those who live in poor countries and still a very good addition for those who live in rich western countries.
Not bad at all. Monthly money made from that can be easily used to cover up monthly bills in any under-developed country that has its local currency in red compared to the USD.

It can be a good method to hold those coins instead of keeping them locked in the wallet. Additionally the site allows you to withdraw the money any time you want. The only deterrent is the counterparty risk - meaning that you have to trust the opposite party in this case freebitco.in's owner and that they would not scam you, which we can all be sure that they would not.

While freebitco.in is one the most reputable sites, it seems very risky to me to store 10 BTC on it; even storing it on a legit exchange as Kraken or Coinbase is never recommended. Yes, the interest would be very nice but just seems way to risky for me. What if your account get compromised or stuff like that?

Yes, it is never save to store even half a bitcoin on a centralized site, no matter how much trusted in the site.
Many will say that freebitco can never scam us as they are here for so long time, i agree to this but what if the site is hacked or some bad incident happened externally where the freebitco management and team have no control ?

So it is not wise to 100% trust a site , as anything unexpected can happen any time. We should be prepared and never store so much money on freebitco or any site.

India A Women vs England A Women

The second match of England A Women tour of India competition was starting on the crease which is India A Women against England A Women squads. In the this competition, India A women already leads by one match from England Women squad because they emerge fantastic victory in previous match. Now in current match, India a women batting inning already finished and this inning has been quite good and they have made a good defending target for England A women but their bowling inning performance was not too good if this inning continuing like this India will lose this today match. In 20 overs, India squad made a 149 scores with nine 9 batters lost and England A women defend almost 50 scores with lost one batter and now they need 100 scores in 78 balls.

India A women's playing very well in this match, they did a wonderful batting but England A women's didn't play very poor, they also scored very well against India A women's team and maybe England A women's win this match.

I think the match will go on the last ball. Indian A women's team did batting in a very good way, and due to that batting they made a huge target but India's bowling is so poor. India batsmen played as well as they possible but sadly Indian bowlers can't maintain that lead and now almost they give the match to England A women's.

India face Australia in Raipur today looking for a series win. It is clear that both India and Australia have some important areas to focus on going into the fourth T20I. With the series finely tuned, India will be keen to address their death bowling concerns and strengthen their top-order batting performance. Australia, on the other hand, will work to adapt to changes in their squad and strengthen their middle-order batting. Overall, it promises to be an exciting and closely contested match between the two cricketing powerhouses. Both teams will be looking to gain the upper hand and build momentum as they head towards the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The match between India vs Australia will start in the next few hours and the Australian team players are confident to enter the ground and beat India in their home cricket stadium.

If Australia loses this match so they lose this series, and if they want to win this series so they should need to win this match. Australia can win this match because they have world-class batsmen and all-rounders who can be hit again and again by Indian bowlers especially Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head, and also in the previous match of this series Glenn Maxwell hit a century to Indian bowlers so now let's see.

BAN Vs NZ

Finally 6 wickets gone for New Zealand.
Bangladesh's successive spinner attack resulted in the fall of New Zealand's six wickets. There are many more overs left in today's third session and if the spinners become more aggressive, New Zealand will be all out today. It is very likely that New Zealand will not be able to play on the fifth day. Usually on the fourth and fifth day in Tests, batting becomes difficult and the spinners have an added advantage. Bangladesh is using this opportunity and they are succeeding.  However, if Bangladesh can beat New Zealand today, another coveted Test win will be recorded. Picking up the next four wickets for Bangladesh became crucial for the desired win.

Do not worry as we still have the 5th day and therefore if Bangladesh are not able to get the remaining four wickets today, they will definitely get them tomorrow.

Bangladesh can't lose this match for sure and they will celebrate victory today or tomorrow. Daryl Mitchell is not out at 40 runs and showing some resistance to the Bangladesh bowlers. Taijul Islam took 3 wickets and have bowled 16 overs. He is an inspiration for the Bangladesh bowlers today.

Around 11 overs are remaining in the day's play. If Daryl Mitchell does not throw away his wicket, i think we may see the fifth day of this test match.
1230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: December 01, 2023, 08:13:11 AM
But if we look at what is been directly meant by the OP of the thread which is the referral of someone actually turning his gambling habit as a means of income then that is a totally different case all together.

As I have mentioned, a career in gambling cannot be achieved by everyone. I understand what the OP mean, about the possibility of making gambling a full time job. This is a very difficult thing, considering not every day we can win and get a lot of money. Playing cards, betting on sports, all of these can be options, but win is not always ours. Especially for those who choose to make slots their full time gambling, this will be even more difficult. Referrals are not a part of the OP mean, but I think this is the easiest for gamblers to choose. However, the factor of how he gets referrals and how much he gets will determine his income.

The word career does not suit with gambling. Yeah, one can earn a living through the gambling industry if he owns a gambling business. But if you are a gambler (a player), then there is no possibility that you can earn a living with gambling. Even if you think and plan something, to earn regular income from gambling, that will not work because gambling would not let you earn a consistent income. Those who are experienced gamblers know this fact and hence they always have an alternative to gambling for their regular income.

It better for us to be to be wise than ignorant and gamble for fun only and not to make our career in it.
1231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 01, 2023, 04:57:05 AM
So guys today is the fourth T20I?atch between Australia and India. As we know that India won first two matches of this series but in the third match Glenn Maxwell was on the pitch and have seen that if he will remain on the pitch so definitely Australia win that match.

By the way no one know about that what will happen in today's match. If India will win today match so India will win the series and Australia needs to win two of remaining matches to win the series.

Both teams are really strong and no one can predict exactly that will win. In both of teams which will play the first turn and will make 200+ runs so for the opposite team this will be little bit difficult to chase.

And one more thing which I was thinking that how the cricket evolved. Means in the past we considered 200+ runs target a huge target ambut now we are looking that this is a common target in these. What do you think guys Isn't it?

This is a very important match of this T20 series, probably the most important one being played at Raipur. India can either win this match and seal the series or Australia can win this match and square the series.

I think if India were to win the series, they need to win this match, otherwise, if the Aussies win this one too, they will be in full confidence coming back from two matches down and equaling the series. The same they did in the World Cup when they lost the two initial matches and then there was no looking back.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: December 01, 2023, 03:42:29 AM

Yeah, and even when someone does win, they usually keep playing until they lose it all.

Even most lottery winners seem to end up losing their money.

We need to find out the root cause as why people even when they are at a profit while gambling, are unable to cash out the profits. This is a serious concern for many gamblers and none seems to know the cause and also they are not willing to accept the solution of limiting gambling games after a few good wins.

To be very honest, gamblers lose two fold, first those who are unable to win , they lose their money , and next those who win, never care to take money out, keep playing and eventually they lose too. This situation is paradise for the casino owner as the fully exploit the gambling addiction and never send any message or email that becomes a responsible gambler or take some time to enjoy the money earned and other such messages that are for the benefit of the gamblers.
1233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 01, 2023, 01:51:33 AM
New Zealand and Bangladesh are evenly matched at the moment in the first test which is why it looks like it will most probably end in a draw. Bongs are performing nicely unexpectedly.

Williamson is back in form across all formats which is great news for the Kiwis in my honest opinion.

A draw from this position will not be good for Bangladesh. They are 200+ runs ahead and when you know that New Zealand has to bat last and play to survive the test match, Bangladesh should go for a kill rather than just settle for a draw.

Seriously if Bangladesh aren't able to win this position, I do not expect anything from them. Also, a win for them will make the series which they cannot lose. So they may be going to the 2nd test match with much more conviction and confidence. This test match is crucial for the team's confidence and future.
1234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: November 30, 2023, 05:48:48 PM
It's me, In our country our maximum parents discouraged their children and boy's and girls not to do any kind of side work before complete their study. They think that will create defect on their study. Gambling you know in Bangladesh gambling in illigali and it's highly risk to economy. I started gambling my own and hide this from my family. My parents are not aware with my gambling habit.

Most of people do gamble at work but if we see the current result of the pool, only 31% claim that they gamble at work while 57% claim that they do not gamble at work.



I think this is healthy behavior if people do not gamble at work as this way they can focus more on the work during working time and when they gamble at other times (off work timings), there would be no tension of work at that particular time.
1235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: November 30, 2023, 04:21:58 PM
If it's true that anyone can be a millionaire in gambling, I wonder why many of us are still poor gamblers?Cheesy. I think there is no way we can see how many tries the gambler have done in order to finally get the win by basing only his tickets because there might be instances that even the matches are too much or the odds are too high, the bettor are lucky to hit them in their first try only.

How can everyone become a millionaire in gambling? The fact is that if you and I have not become millionaires in gambling, this means that it is not so easy to be rich through gambling. I would prefer gambling for fun rather than thinking it would make us rich. This will add extra pressure if we think in this way.

Some are also lucky to hit them within a few tries (e.g 2, 5, 8, and, and so on...). Their number are only low though and maybe the OP is not among with them, so yeah, it is better to not hope for the same thing, and it's better to not focus only on the wins. It helps us to stay on our limits and lose less.

We should not be carried away with excessive wins and losses in gambling. Having a lot of wins and a lot of losses, both will lead us to make wrong decisions. While we may do excessive gambling on more wins. we may also engage in revenge gambling is case of more losses. Being responsible is the key if you are a regular gambler.
1236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling are mainly for rich and lucky mind. on: November 30, 2023, 03:58:38 PM
Gambling is for people who are risk takers regardless of it's financial status. Rich or poor we have the right to gamble but will always have differences between habits and behaviors when gambling. Some gamblers are responsible and some are not regardless of how rich or poor we are. Rich or poor, our only goal is to have fun and win. Luck will always strike randomly keep that in mind.

How can you ignore the status of rich gamblers and poor gamblers and put them together? The rich gamblers have more money to gamble and they won't be facing financial problems while on the other hand, the poor gamblers will be thinking too much about what to invest in gambling and what not to. The financial problems may not give them a free mind to gamble and usually, they will gamble with more tension as they would be wanting to win in any case.

A loss for poor gambling will mean a lot while a loss for rich gamblers may not hurt them much. These are key differences between both types of gamblers and therefore we cannot say that the circumstances for both types of gamblers are the same.
1237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 30, 2023, 03:12:14 PM
I started gambling online by seeing those big bonuses on ads and after that I knew that these require wagering to be able to claim those bonuses.
it was hard to complete those requirements so I lost of first deposit and I deposited second time i lost that too, I was playing irresponsibly and without knowing anything about online casinos.
I learned the lesson hard way that player cannot win in gambling long term if he doesn't able to control his emotions.

For the most part, bonus systems in casinos are designed to make a gambler in the casino as much money as possible to his account. If you consider the fact that the casino has an advantage over the gambler, it is easy to understand that the more you gamble, the more you will lose money. This is a very simple marketing move, which many do not understand and continue to chase bonuses.  

This means that the gambling sites uses the bonus as a marketing strategy where they give bonus to the gamblers (usually on the deposits) so that people deposit more in the site. They already know that more they deposit, the more they will gamble and hence chances of the gamblers losing the money and eventually it is a win for the gambling site.

To counter the little advantage, whereby some gamblers may be able to win with the bonus money, they put a high wagering requirement so in the end its only a win sin situation for the gambling casinos only.

T10 League 4th match between Teams Abu Dhabi vs The Chennai Braves was so fantastic. Ab dhabi was very close to chase the target but Leus missed the last ball. Chennai braves won the match by 4 runs after a very tight competition. In the total scores of 115 Jason roy alone score 84 which is good record for him. Noor ahmad is only bowlers which has economy of 4.5 and others all above 10.

Abd dhabi openers couldn't make a big partnerships. They lost wickets and then Leus du Plooy make brilliant 47 of 18 balls. Orher players not played a T10 fast cricket which is main reason of Abu Dhabi defeat. T10 match are fast and less time consuming which is the reason I like to watch.

The seventh match of T10 is in progress between Chennai Braves and Samp Army. Usually, the 10 overs matches are not one-sided but still match seems that Chennai Braves will lose. They have scored only 32 runs with already 6 wickets down. Only Kobe Herft scored 20 runs and none of the other batsman was able to enter in the double figure score.

All the bowlers from Samp Army were successful. Jason Holder, Karim Janat and  Qais Ahmad took one wicket each while Moeen Ali took 2 wickets.
Chennai Braves had won their last match but in this match their performance is really poor.

I guess it's fair to assume that Bangbros are firm favorite for 1 up in this series.

It would be an insult to their batters if we are considering some sort of batting collapse tomorrow, especially against this spin attack. I've noticed this pattern, if the Subcontinent team gives any competitive spin deck or call it skill based track to SENA countries, their spinners fail 99.99% of the time.

Bangladesh lead by 205 runs and we have two days left in the match. If the Bangladesh do not lose wickets or collapse (which they should not), the most important thing will be when to declare ? They would want enough time to bowl out New Zealand in the last innings. the captain Najmul Hossain Shanto is not out at 104 runs and a lot will depend on his wicket. If he can keep the one end save, it may give roam for the other end batsmen to play freely and of course quickly.

Will the 4 sessions be enough with 350 runs lead or it can be 3.5 sessions with 400 lead ? This will be a tough decision to declare with a proper lead and proper remaining time in the match.
1240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Math and Gambling on: November 30, 2023, 01:11:59 PM
I don't think that mathematics is related to gambling, because if it is related today we have seen that many genius mathematicians gamble and win in casinos, but unfortunately so far there are none. So gambling is still related to luck and skill, mathematics is only the umpteenth factor, not the biggest factor.

Agree with you, in my opinion mathematics has nothing to do with gambling, in the sense that no matter how smart someone is at studying, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be good at gambling. This means that gambling requires experience and skill and to perfect it you also need intelligence in good thinking so that you are not easily influenced by gambling games and we need to remember that gambling is just luck that can be obtained by anyone, both smart people and people who are not smart.
But people who are not good at mathematics can win some money from gambling because they get lucky. Those of us who only use gambling as entertainment don't need to think about things because it can be confusing for us, especially since we don't chase victory like other people. We just need to enjoy gambling as we should and whether it's experience, skill, or intelligence in understanding mathematics, we need luck and that means we have to be able to relax when playing gambling. Otherwise, we will not be able to enjoy gambling but there will only be the desire to win, which can lead to greed or a lot of losses.

Does math really work in gambling? i don't think so. Even probability and statistics are hard to work in gambling. In any other field, you may gather the previous data, compile it and try to find the future outcome but here in gambling games, no probability will work because every game has its own luck and you cannot measure or predict luck. It is natural and not predictable.

The strange thing is that no matter how much you are intelligent or have experience, nothing matters at all, nothing stands in front of luck. The most dump person can have good luck and become a millionaire from gambling.
