Quite disgraceful performance from the Kiwis yesterday. The moment South Africa reached more than 350, I knew that there was no chance for a New Zealand win. But then, the Kiwi batsmen didn't even put up a fight. They surrendered without any resistance. Only Glenn Phillips was able to score runs freely and take on the South African bowlers. Keshav Maharaj, the only Protean bowler who looked out of form till now picked up 4 wickets yesterday. Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee were also exceptional. Now New Zealand faces a real danger of not qualifying for the semi-finals.

It's too early to say if New Zealand will qualify for the semi final or not, but looking at the points table, things are looking really interesting and a lot of teams are competing for the 4th position including New Zealand. I won't rule them out as yet. They only need to beat Pakistan (who are not in a good form) and they would qualify.




Today is the match between India and Srilanka, which India should win but if somehow Srilanka can win this match, they will also have six points out of 7 matches, and they will still remain in the race. But beating India looks like an impossible task for now.

We also have a tough competition between the first and the second position and believe me, it is important as the first team on the points table will play the semi-final with a fourth team.

I have not really been following the price movement and even the project development in general,  but if the price of the RLB is already near a time high,  it then not wise to buy into the project at this moment,  and rather is best to wait for the price to have done some level of correction before you see what the best but position for the token.


Can I have a reason as to why this token is at all time high price? Is there any listing of this token on any big exchange or is there is some major update on the Rollbit platform. Maybe they introduce any further use case of this RLB token or what else could be the reason of this big pump ?

The best approach to these tokens that are considered low gem tokens is when the project is still at its basic then is the right time to hold a large position in them,  but once they launched,  it then becomes a risk all through and just a gamble,  those early birds would have taken all the profits.

I think it is still not bad to buy this low value gem at this price. If the token price is near the All time high, when other altcoins are near their all time lows, it shows the potential in this project and it can multiply many X in the next year or so. Only if you can hold this token for the long term, it is not a bad investment, even at the current prices.

I’m a new member here, and I want to gamble on online casinos. I found some good trusted casinos. And I want to begin with a game with a low budget. First, I need your suggestions about the best games, slots. Live casino for a beginner.
Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.

First, you need to tell us how much money do you have for gambling. No matter how less money you have, you should make sure to invest small amount in every game so you keep small risks in each game. This habit will always help you in the long run.

Secondly, you need to decide for yourself that which gambling game suits you best. The best way is to play every game and also try out sports betting and see which game you feel is more entertaining and fun.

I hope you already know the purpose of your gambling. It should not be mainly to earn money but to get entertained and have fun.

I will love South Africa to change history of this venue and won the game which will help paksitan to be alive in world cup points table.

Well a loss for New Zealand will not only open doors for Pakistan but it may open chances for other teams as well, Afghanistan in particular.
As it seems that New Zealand's grip is very low in this match and hence they may lose, the other teams will be keen to see the new equations and how they can qualify for the Semi finals.

For NewZealand's point of view, it may be difficult to win this match but they can control the damage by playing the full 50 overs and making as many runs as possible. I am saying this because the run rate will matter a lot in the later stage of this World Cup and the more they can score and lose by less margin, they won't lose much on the run rate.
1566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most you have ever lost in one session? on: November 01, 2023, 11:43:07 AM
It depends on how much money I have. If I deposit $20, I could spend $10 for a session. But sometimes, I use $20 for one session and it also depends on my mood because when I want to gamble quickly and don't want to linger, I will choose a slot game and use auto spin. So I just sat back and watched each round.

I've never lost more than $100 and don't want to. It's better if I gamble enough and stop before things get bad. In playing slots, I also choose small bets and never exceed $0.3 because that is the amount I can afford to place a bet.

You've already lost $200,000, which you could have used to invest in Bitcoin and earned around 5 BTC.


The deposit money was the most important one for the gambler to take the big risk in the game.If the gambler made the deposit of 20$ like you said,he never go for the big bet in the game.All his betting amount is like below 1$ per bet.If the gambler want to enjoy the full game in the gambling,it’s better to use the big deposit minimum of 100$ in to the gambling.You also use the dice for the auto run option with the minimum deposit like the 20$ into the gambling.If you made the deposit of 20$ for 5 times,it won’t add to 100$ in a short period of time.So you can make this way for the minimum loss in the gambling game,but for the better win you should build an unique strategy.

It really depends on the ones portfolio that how much money he can gamble in a one single bet ? If you take the example of $20 gambling portfolio and if you gamble with $20 in a single game then it is like going all in and it is not recommended.

A person who have $20 for gambling he can gamble with $1 or maximum $2 at a time if he has the risk management plan with him. Going more than that amount in a single bet will definitely exposes a lot of risk on him.

Yes a person with hundred dollar portfolio can gamble with a lot more money and similarly if anyone has a 500$ portfolio he can gamble one game with $20 and yet if you lose that game he won't lose his whole portfolio.
1567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this how it start? (No or yes?) on: November 01, 2023, 07:17:22 AM
Have you been in such situations before?

Yes, I have clear my mind about gambling in 2 weeks already. But 2 days ago, I don't know, I was in my bed and wanted to sleep suddenly I have this urge and itch to play. So I did deposit like $10 and play my favorite game which is roulette. It was just a couple of single spin bet on evolution gaming's Lightning Roulette.

Didn't even win but I was able to control myself not to deposit anymore as I know what's going to happen to me in the next hour or so. I know that I will feel again to the trap of gambling of depositing even more and betting higher denominations of money just to be able to recoup my initial bankroll. But it will be ugly on my end as I might end end losing big money. So once I lost that initial deposit of mind, I just quit and never look back and even I wanted to deposit, I say NO and control my emotions that night.


You were able to control the emotions and did not deposit more but there may be many other gamblers who would keep playing irrespective of the loses.

One reason which I feel that you are not addicted yet is that you have only played two weeks of gamblings so usually a person is a bit more careful in for the games if he had lost some of the games.

Moreover being a gambler first you should makeup plan how much money would you spend daily, weekly or monthly on gambling and stick to that plan. In this way your risk is predefined and there is no way you can lose more than what you are already have decided before.
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: November 01, 2023, 04:49:52 AM
I think the effect is temporary though. I mean if you used gambling as a stress reliever, definitely it will work but for how long? Maybe just a couple of hours playing and then you lose money? Same with it improves your mood, when you gamble it might release some chemicals like Dopamine so you really feel good about yourself. But then again, the same question, how long will you feel that good mood?

So not really sure if we can call this as health benefits because the effects is for a limited of time only.

I also think the same that all the health benefits which are associated with the gambling are linked to our winnings. As long as we are winning in gambling, we are making money everything will be good. There will be no stress, we will feel happy and comfortable and this will give a boost to our health.

I think that all these gambling health benefits will turn into health losses in case we start to lose in gambling. It's natural that the loss of money will have a negative effect on one's emotions and ones health.

I didn't find any gambler who after the lose in gambling seems to be happy. You see the gamblers when they lost money they will try to recover the losses and this extra burden will put more stress on their mind and health, it will be more dangerous for health.
1569  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: November 01, 2023, 04:20:14 AM

Those which think they can obtain profits out of gambling are the most prone to eventually develop some issues with it, as they see every win they get as a confirmation they are on the right path, and every loss they get becomes more motivation for them to find the right betting pattern or strategy to finally beat the casinos, an idea that is completely mistaken of course, but one that is very difficult for them to get over it as the lure of making money through gambling is too strong for them.

Many gambling will like to make the success in the secret way,in my town their was the saying.We should not share our real plan to our friends,because we don’t know who is the real friend or enemy.Some people will act like good friend and spoil your plan in the real world,this was the main reason for the gambler to keep their gambling activities in the secret way.Even gambler friend will tell the gambler wife about the involvement of the gambling,which made the gambler to quit the gambling fully.So the better option for the gambler to keep their gambling activities secret to their friends and family member and have fun in the gambling.
A great deal of the time your friends mean well as they do not want to see you to do badly because of a decision that you have taken, the issue is that most of the advice you will receive will be about playing it safe and avoid any risk, but success comes associated with risk, so if you avoid all risk then your chances of reaching any significant amount of success becomes zero, and this explains why a great deal of the members of this forum hide their bitcoin investments even from their family members, because they know very well that if they had consulted them they would have tried to discourage them to invest in bitcoin.

Maybe yes, if they are being surrounded by people who doesn't understand what bitcoin investment was, there's a chance that they will be discouraged, I'm not sure though if we can relate it to gambling as there are many gamblers who choose to hide their gambling activities to avoid being criticize as they are not willing to submit themselves to any confrontations.

Things that they just want to enjoy without any bad or any negative comments about how they are enjoying the game of gambling.

Well first of all the even the gambling exist before the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies where people use the fiat money in order to gamble. So if there is a group of people who doesn't like the bitcoins, it does not necessary mean that they will  dislike and discourage gambling also.

Generally I will suggest that we should not disclose our gambling habits and our gambling day to day wins and loses to the people who don't like gambling at all because if you do that we will only get negative and bad comments about gambling and those people will think bad of us.

Only the people who themselves play gambling and involved in gambling will concerns about our losses and will appreciate our wins.

You are doing a great job and we did not face any issues during this time period.
Also i would like to congratulate you on getting your account issues resolved.

I was busy today but could not bet on today's match that Pakistan team won. I think today's match was not important in the context of the tournament.
Regardless of any team winning today (Pakistan is the winner by the way), they would still can't quality for the semi finals.

I like 100% welcome bonus. With this type of bonus, it is not that gambling site has gotten plenty money from me and give me bonus in a way they know that they are not losing but giving me bonus from what I have already lost to gamble with it again.

I am not the bonus type, I do not think of bonus at all, I just gamble and have the fun. I hardly gamble, and only during weekends.

100% welcome bonuses are usually for the gamblers who joined the gambling sites for the very first time. If you are an old and experienced gambler on the site or even already have an account, you will not get the welcome deposit bonus. So I think these bonuses will attract only new gamblers on the site.

Reloaded bonuses and cashback offers are more worthy for routine gamblers.

In my personal point of view, free spins are more entertaining than any other bonus. Yes, i know that wagering requirements are tough on the bonus, but if you play free spins, even if you are unable to fulfil the wagering and unable to withdraw, the free spins still give you the next level of amusement.

Afghanistan has won against Pakistan and England, so the possibility of Afghanistan winning this game can not be ruled out. Hoping this match to be a thriller.

Yeah, that match can go to the last ball as Afghanistan are chasing the score slowly and steadily.

Meanwhile, tomorrow is the match of Pakistan vs Bangladesh, and this is a most important match for both teams because this is the last chance to qualify in the semi-final for Pakistan, the Bangladesh team has too low a chance to qualify in the semi-final but Bangladesh should need to win tomorrow’s match because ICC tells this that only top eight teams qualify for the champions trophy 2025.

I know that ICC late telling this information but if Pakistan loses and Pakistan also can’t come in the top eight then Pakistan still won't suffer because the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan and the host automatically qualifies for the Champions Trophy.

In today's match of Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka team, Afghanistan team has won the toss and decided to bowl. Now Sri Lanka team has come to bat. They scored 188 runs in 41 overs. Now Sri Lanka team is under a lot of pressure after losing 7 wickets. Afghanistan team has a lot of bowling line.  Good performance started today.Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka got out for 60 and 46 runs.Dimuth Karunaratne got out for 15 runs in 21 balls.Kusal Mendis got out for 39 runs in 50 balls.Looks like Sri Lanka can't give more runs target.
At present, Sri Lanka ended their batting inning of today match against Afghanistan team. Pathum Nissanka was a strong batting inning performance as he managed 46 scores off 60 balls. I feel bad for his batter because he didn't complete his mid century and only 4 scores were remain for completion and then catch up by Azmatullah Omerzai bowler of Afghanistan team. Some other batters also fairly good strength like Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Maheesh Theekshana. These batters was also managed good scores like 39, 36, 29. Both these team won two matches previously as well lose two matches. Hight net run rate of Sri Lanka team their slot is in 5th and Afghanistan team slot is in 7th because of their lower NRR.


The only one player from Afghanistan was out, who is the main and very good player of Afghanistan Rahmanullah Gurbaz. He was out on duck by Madushanka. In today’s match, he didn’t perform well. But the Afghanistan team didn’t take any tension of this wicket as the Sri Lankan team took the pressure when they lost their first few wickets.

The Afghanistan team can try to win this because the middle order of the Afghanistan team is very strong. Both the teams Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are in the race for the World Cup so this is a very important match for both teams. A win would mean that they will have the chances alive in this World Cup.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: October 30, 2023, 07:29:52 AM
I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?

If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?

All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.

Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.

Absolutely it can develop such habit.Not only when you are lonely but most of the time when you feel sad from the events of your life like in this case which is a major blow when your wife leaves you no matter that we as men make jokes about our wife in reality it hurts to live without them most of the cases.

Loneliness can only increase the sadness from the events of your life and thus people tend to find relief in alcohol,whores and gambling with this last one being the most dangerous of all together with the first one alcohol.When you go with whores as long as you keep protection nothing bad happens  Grin.

Yes loneliness can be one of the factor due to which a gambler may become addicted to gambling. A person who is alone has no one with him to talk about , or to spend the time and therefore he will try to engage himself with something which is available to him easily and the only thing that comes into the mind is gambling.

Since there is no one available to him for counselling or for any advice and he will continue to gamble all day long or all time when he is alone and therefore he can easily become addicted.
1575  Economy / Gambling / Re: Evolution — report for Q3 (HOW THEY EARN THAT MUCH?) on: October 30, 2023, 07:06:22 AM

I have question - how do they make that much money if their games are fair?

Their profit per month is 73.7666667M, le'ts imagine this is 20% of total comission...And it's shocking. Don't they suppose to have negative months, or years? Like operators have?

I mean, all of this videos of their rigged game shows, blackjacks...I'm about to think that all of them are true

Their games are fair in the sense that they officially have an advantage over players, and they are not hiding it. Their profit is only telling us about how many gamblers are using their products, I don't understand why do you think it implies they are cheating. Like other people said in this thread, they don't need to cheat because they are making big money legally. Why risk your license?

Acknowledging your point and also the rigged casino may not be able to gather so much revenue as compared to the honest and trusted casinos.

Also if a casino is rigged you will not find it in mainstream media telling about it that how much they have earned over the time. There is no doubt that the Casino and games in question in this OP thread is legit.

1576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports bets or in-house games, which is best for the weekend. on: October 30, 2023, 06:41:24 AM
Sport bets vs in-house games which is most enjoyable and has a higher tendency of bringing much winning compared to it possibility of losing?

Simple, it is depending on your own favorite. If you do like both, you can place some bets on sports before the match start and you can play in house game while you are waiting for the result of the sports. Which one bring more winning chance? If you have great knowledge about sports, no doubt that sports bet will give you better winning chance but if you do not have any knowledge about sports and you are betting on it with speculation only, it is the same as when you play in house game. Every gambler has their own passion, has their own favorite gambling game to play, so it is depending on yourself.

I do not understand why are you specially  asking about the weekend that we should play the in house games or do we do the sports betting ?

It really doesn't matter if it is a weekend or a normal day a person who is interested in sports betting would continue to do the sports betting through out the week while the person who loves the casino games will play the in house games always or almost of the times.

The only exception to this is that sometimes you may not find any of your favourite sports on the weekend and therefore you have nothing to bet on. In that case you may switch to in house gambling games because they are available 24/7 on the online gaming sites.
1577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? on: October 30, 2023, 06:02:59 AM
It really isn't necessary for us to tell people about our gambling habits or activities even with friends or family. I, too, live along with my parents and I have never told them my gambling activities online but I'm sure they're aware that I'm gambling as I casually visit local casino malls. Its not really about being discriminated by my family or friends but rather it's something that isn't necessary to talk about unless you've hit jackpots.

I think it's not the same situation when it comes to other people because like for example in our country, parents are more responsible for their children and always look for them whenever they are not around, and guess what? they always knew what they were up to and sometimes they found them in the gambling den along with their friends. that's why it depends because you cannot just hide it when you have that kind of parents who always look after you. I remember my friend got beaten badly by his dad after he was found gambling with cards along with the adults in the other village.
Having that kind of strict parent will ended up having a child who tends to hide everything to them, I know that they should be responsible but please set a boundary, do not let them  interfere in your decisions and privacy. Also, As long as you know what you're doing and you're aware in the consequences of the things that you do, then it's very okay to not let them know that you're into gambling. I mean, i didn't say that you should lie to your parents but set a boundary, not all the things in your life should have know by your parents.

Generally speaking the gamblers do not tell their parents that they are involved in gambling. The reason for this is that they fear that if they tell their parents they may force time to stop gambling or they may give them punishment or something like that. The sort of treatment the parents do with the children if they know they are involved in gambling will also depend upon the age of the children.

The parents do know that thier children involved in gambling or not,  in most cases parents will not tell their children that they know it from their words or their behaviours.
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: October 30, 2023, 03:03:05 AM
Many believe that gambling is for young people online as they need thrill and and fun. But I think that even old people can enjoy gambling. There should be any age to retire from gambling at all. One can do this activity and leisure time and thus it does not affect retirement related activities also.

I think that there is no age to retire from gambling. You can gamble for as long as you mind is working and you have money. Once you become older, like 80+ your mind does not respond as it used to do previously and at old age, we do not earn any income, so this means that it becomes difficult to gamble at that age. However, some may have passive income, with which they may gamble for lifetime.

But if we do research thoroughly we will find that all gamblers in online gambling are loved by all groups from young people to adults and old people so the assumption that online gambling is only for young people is an incorrect idea.

With the popularity of online gambling, it is even easier for the old people to continue to gamble in the comfort of their homes. If those people need to go out to the physical casino, maybe they would think to quit it but since gambling is available in their home, on their mobile or computer, so its becomes easy for them to gamble and pass their free time.

I felt India will lose today since their batting was not up to the mark and they set target of 230, but Indian bowlers have destroyed England (55-5, atm), low chances they'd able to chase even 230.

India is looking far superior team than all the teams in the tournament,  i do not know which team will be able to beat India in this World Cup.
It's like either India will win this World Cup or we see them having an exit in the semi finals or the finals.

Coming to the prediction of the match, here we go.


Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan

Toss win: Sri Lanka
Team win: Afghanistan
Best Batsmen: Kusal Mendis
Best bowler: Rashid Khan

Well if you will question them then you have to question their source as well. Nevertheless, it's gambling and we all know that it's a worldwide phenomena. So there could be thousands in a given day playing and then losing big money. Not saying that it is accurate, but the amount of money flowing in casinos today are really huge as there are a lot of individuals that have been addicted already.

Yeah, people invest a lot of money in gambling and they lose a major portion of that money. So when a gambler loses, who is the one getting all that money?
It is the bookies, the casino site owners who gain all this money. So we can't imagine how much the gambling sites may earn.

It's really hard to question though if their games is rigged or not or they collude with others. Maybe as gamblers it's our responsibility to check whether they are provably fair or not. But who does it? Everyone just wanted to play, from dice game, to roulette to card games that Evolution gaming has.

The gambling sites do not have to be rigged in order to gain that much money. In fact, if a casino is honest they can earn more money as the gamblers will keep losing and keep playing in an honest casino. The rigged one may get some quick money but over a period of long term, they may lose the customers and the business.

By the way, i would like the source link for the report too in order to study in depth.
