England need 230 runs from 300 balls to win this crucial match against India. Keeping a team like India below 250 runs is not an easy task. England have lost a few matches in a row and they are trying to recover and maybe they will get back to winning ways with the India match. Chasing 230 runs, there is nothing not to win then opponents England. With enough balls in hand and enough runs on the wicket, England's batsmen should not be so aggressive early on. England's batsmen have tried to attack too much from the beginning in all the matches and because of this they have lost most of the matches. England must be patient today and leave the field after winning this match today.

The Indian team looked under pressure for the first time. Often their openers provide a good partnership. Due to which the middle order players are able to get the score to a good target without any pressure, but today shubman Gill 9 runs and Virat Kohli dismissal for no runs caused pressure for the middle order players.India three best players had returned to the pavilion for just 40 runs. Rohit Sharma played an excellent responsible innings and none of the players could stay at the crease for long.

 However, all England's bowlers performed well. A target of 230 runs is a low target that can only be defended if the Indian bowlers manage to get all the England players out. At this time 6 overs have been played and the England team has scored 33 runs for the loss of two players which is definitely a good sign for India.

I understand that India did not bat well but I think they did a good job playing the full 50 overs and did not lose all their wickets before 50 overs and managed to score 229 runs. At that time we felt that it may not be enough runs but as soon as the Indian team started bowling and took 5 quick wickets, all of sudden this total may seem adequate for the Indian team.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami took 2 wickets each and one wicket was taken by Kuldeep Yadav. With England, only 5 wickets remaining and the way the Indian bowlers are dominating at the moment, it is easy to predict that India may win this match even though they scored a mere of 229 runs.

Edit: Shami took another wicket just now,  Moeen Ali gone. England was 6 down now.

What are your thoughts on these strategies to assist me in achieving my $50,000 betting goal by 2024?

I think that you need to tell us how much money will you allocate for gambling in the year 2024. We don't know if this target is realistic or not because we do not know how much money you will be using for the betting. If you have anything between $20,000 to $30000 for wagering, then this may be achievable but if you have a supposed 1,000$ to 2000$ gambling portfolio, then I think you need to stretch a lot in order to get this target considering the risk involved in gambling, you may not achieve this target at all.

Anyways, i wish you the best of luck and i would like that you keep on telling us your progress from time to time as to what you have managed to achieve and where are you standing in terms of your 50,000$ goal.

The pitch of Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is not batting friendly. It is bowling friendly pitch. Indian batsmen should have batted carefully. The Indian batsmen were  very well informed about the pitch. Yet they batted like fools. And lost wickets very quickly. After 15 overs, India's total is 50/3. India are now under a lot of pressure after losing three important top-order batsmen. If Rohit Sharma is not able to play big innings then it will be very difficult for India to collect 200 runs. If India can deliver a target of 260-280 on this pitch, it will be a good enough target to fight for. But I think England will win today's match.

India did not start the match well today and lost three early wickets cheaply. Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all of these batsmen got out without troubling and making any scores. However, as you said this wicket at  Lucknow is not batting friendly, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul   are looking to stabilize the innings and both of them have taken the score to 100 runs.

If India can manage to keep wickets for last 10 overs, they can still reach a score near to 300 and it will be a match winning score on this pitch. Indian middle order is being tested today and so far KL Rahul along with Sharma are looking good.

At one time, the match was looking in England's favor but now the game is in balance and anyone can win this from here on in. If you get a good score on a bowling wicket, the chances increases for the team batting first.

Something you must have before playing gambling is self-confidence and also understanding all the risks of losing money, gambling is not just about winning because the thing you have to understand is how if you experience defeat, you still accept it with grace, it is wrong to blame other people for gambling. for yourself, not for other people, so whatever you play, you face your own risk.

Self confidence is good but it won't work in gambling. If any gambler is self confident that he will win, then that's not going to work for him as there is no guarantee that he can win or lose in gambling. If a gambler initially makes up his mind that he will lose, only then he won't reject after losing because he already has made up his mind that the chances of losing are more than winning.


You are right that gambling is a game where there are wins and losses that must be faced by each user, therefore gamble wisely so you can limit your budget and yourself so you don't get addicted or even exceed your limits, gamble responsibly with yourself so you don't become an addict because if you fall into it, it will be difficult to recover.

Addiction in gambling is another extreme level of gambling and more people are addicted to gambling once online gambling has become popular. It is easy to become addicted to online gambling because one can access gambling at any time. In physical gambling, you have to get ready and go to the casino, but online gambling can be accessed at any odd time too like late night or early morning.

India is unbeaten so far and seems like they will remain unbeaten at least before Semis. England don't have much chance today against mighty India, they have just won one game so far and that'sagainst Bangladesh. If you are betting then its very risky to bet against India. India already in semis and England out from tournament. So it won't matter what will be outcome of today's game.

Today is the 29th match of this ODI World Cup, which is India vs England. Today’s match was played in Lucknow and I can bet that today the stadium of Lucknow will full with a full crowd because today is the match where the hosts India is playing and also today is Sunday means a holiday so many people in India will come to watch this match, which motivates Indian players to win this match.

Anyway, India has more chances to win because India is in the first position and England is in the last position, which is a very bad position in the point table even the Netherlands is upper than England in the point table (at least at the current date).
1586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: October 29, 2023, 07:06:58 AM
There may be casinos that don't allow women to enter, but some of the casinos I've seen have a lot of women because I think it's also a marketing technique from the casino company itself. With female employees, of course this will attract men to play in their casinos, and when they win, they seem to be tempted to increase the value of the bet so they can win, but behind the temptation they only aim to make the winnings run out again. So it will be profitable for the company again.

If the casino has some separate timings for the ladies or the casino does not allow women at all, that's a separate thing but usually, I do not see why the casino will not allow the women to enter in a physical casino. Yes, if there are only men in the casino and no female staff, then for sure, the female should refrain from entering that casino but the casino usually does not put any such restrictions. They want both men and women to visit their casinos and gamble.


I think there are also women who play gambling because they have enough money, but not all casinos allow them to enter to gamble or for other things. But most casinos must have women whether they are players or employees. There is no problem with women playing gambling as long as they have enough money, but it seems unnatural for women to play gambling. Especially now, with the current online gambling, of course everyone can play it with no exception. So at this time everyone can access it easily without having to go to the casino to gamble. Because in my opinion there is no rule that women are prohibited from gambling or is this a contradiction? I myself don't care about it hahahaha.

Online gambling is a separate thing, women can easily gamble online without facing any gender restrictions or any humiliations events that may happen to them in a physical casino.
I think that casinos should encourage women to be a part of gambling, both online and physically, and they should make sure to address any concerns raised by the women in terms of their security at the casinos.

India vs England is basically a dead rubber match if you ask me since India pretty much qualified for the semi-finals while England is pretty much out of the semi-finals race based on my observations.

Am expecting this one to be a one-sided encounter where the current champions will continue embarassing themselves as usual.

England need to play for their pride. Even though they cannot qualify for the next stage (semi finals) but they should try to win the remaining matches and try to climb up on the points table. It does not look good that the former world champion England team is among the low teams in this WC.

I checked the odds and India will win this match one sided.  Wink The difference between the odds is too much. I think it is good to bet on India today and get 1.44 winning odds.

Another close match b/w nz and australia. This match was more interesting one and the way australia batted and newzealand started chasing was fantastic. newzealand fought till the last ball but unfortunately Neesham run out just before the last ball. on the other side Bangladesh played so badly and Netherland win an easy match...

Nice to see another close finish match. Even though Australia batted very well, New Zealand were even more better as when you are chasing such a big total, pressure is on your side and if you manage to reach so close to the total, it is a big achievement. They may take this confidence to chase in upcoming matches.

Today/s match, Anyone has doubt about the Indian performance  Wink

India Vs England

Toss win: India
Team win: India
Best Batsmen: Shubman Gill
Best bowler: Kuldeep Yadav

The Tigers were in trouble when they scored 230 runs against the Netherlands.This match was a victory against the Netherlands.  But that hope disappeared into despair.Shakib Bahini did not care about the Netherlands.The Red Green team confirmed their departure from the World Cup with a shameful loss. I had high hopes that the Red Green team will win today. First the bowlers bowled brilliantly. But the Bangladesh team could not show a good performance with the bat.All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan disappointed the team. Today's match is really a shame.

The Netherlands won the second match in this World Cup and this is the first time the Netherlands won two matches. I think this World Cup is good for small teams to make history because Afghanistan also won two matches first time in a single tournament.

Anyway, coming to today’s match, the best player of today’s match is Paul van Meekeren.  He took four wickets and gave just 23 scores around seven overs. He did wonderful bowling. He out the main of the Bangladesh team and was the game changer player’s of his team, that’s why he is the man of the match.

Netherlands winning by 87 runs is a good achievement for a team that is relatively new among all the other teams.

Gambling with the hope of winning young is impossible because even if you play carefully, it is still very difficult to win, especially for those who play uncontrollably. I think very few people play gambling just for fun because most people who gamble of course want to win from the games they play and if we have experienced an addiction then it will be very difficult to stop gambling so it will be better to play our gambling can control ourselves so as not to easily spend the money we have on gambling.

Winning in gambling is hard, so people can quit gambling. But No, Even quitting in gambling is hard too. The reason for this is that no matter how many times you lose and how much money you win, there is always a hope of winning big.

You can ask different gamblers and all of them will say that they lost many times but no one will say that they want to quit gambling. This is the power and addiction of gambling. People can afford to lose in gambling but they can't imagine quitting gambling. It is the fun in gambling or the hope of winning, which will keep people involved in gambling.

BTW, Kiwi bowlers are looking hopeless against David Warner and Travis Head. Australia has raced to 46/0 after 4 overs.

Travis Head is going crazy here and he has scored his half century in just 25 balls. This is the fastest 50 of this world cup. David Warner has also scored 65 runs in only 37 balls.
They are going aggressively against New Zealand and have scored 118 runs in the 10 overs without losing any wickets. Trent Boult, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguso and all the bowlers are looking helpless at the moment. If these fireworks does not stop, I am seeing 500 runs today.

By the way, Is the Australian team peaking at the right time? This show will be an eye opener for the Indians and South Africans who will probably be playing semi-finals with this Australian team.
1592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think if you have a lot of money its hard to satisfy your ego in gambling on: October 28, 2023, 05:39:41 AM
We have threads here about people betting millions of dollars on sports battings and other games in casinos and the amount of money is insane, they can bet millions of dollars on one team and they easily forget everything and bet another millions.

I doubt if we have high rollers who will admit, that having a lot of money means you cannot satisfy your ego or that your level of enjoyment is high that you will need to bet millions of dollars just to fulfill your dopamine level.

What do you think, if I have millions I will be satisfied betting thousands of dollars for fear of addiction that will lead to losing my fortune, but I really don't know if I will reach that level of having millions and still be moderate in gambling.

If I had many millions of dollars, I would still avoid betting or gambling a million dollars on a single bet. That is too insane and too risky in my opinion. Would it be better if i could bet with 100$ per bet and participate in many bets, rather than going as a high roller? Gamblers are not in any sort of competition to the highest roller.

As far as the ego or the interest in gambling is concerned, it should not be related to how big is the size of my bet, rather I would be more focused on how many times I can bet and gamble. (as every time you gamble it gives you another level of feeling, fun and satisfaction.

Long story short, even if you have a lot of money, it is better to use it wisely rather than just throwing it away in a single bet. Also how many times can anyone place a million dollar bet? No one has unlimited money. So better think about what you are trying to do as money lost in a bet is lost forever no matter if it is 100$ or 1000$.
1593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spirituality and Betting - Do they Have any Connection? on: October 28, 2023, 05:15:30 AM
I don't think that a spiritual assignment or power can make you to win gambling and if it's so I think that gambling nobody would have missed to win in the gambling, because almost every body will go to a spiritual store to buy items and perform rituals before betting  of any kind in a different gambling websites, the connection between gambling and spiritual connections is very far, a gambling is something you have knowledge of and it means that you assume that this thing will be in this form and you are not sure of that, so for you win its by luck and some insights you already have on it.

Another thing to note is that most religions do not encourage gambling and some may strictly prohibited gambling and betting, so in that case, no one can use spiritual powers to gain an edge in gambling.

In most religions, in order to gain Spirituality, people may pray or worship and ask for divine help from nature, but when something is not allowed in religion, how can anyone ask such a thing from their god? Prayers do make your cause easy but you can only ask god to help you in those things which are not forbidden by religion.

So, in my opinion, when you gamble or bet, you are going against Spirituality and maybe that's why we lose more often than we win  Huh

Pakistan's cricket is on biggest setback as things are not going good in men and women cricket today we have double defeat one against Bangladesh women's and then against South Africa with most matches were winnable but due to poor strategy and batting teams lost these matches Bangladesh women's score 120 runs which was chase able but Pakistani women's completely fail to do this even they lost only seven wickets but too much dot balls hurt their chances for the win and now Bangladesh win their first ever series against Pakistan women's as well veteran Bismah Maroof score 30 runs on 44 balls which was really poor from her because now it's time to bring changes into their strategy and have some improved quality as well for the better results.

The second T20 was also won by Bangladesh women. If we look at the players of Pakistan so the previous captain of the Pakistan women’s cricket team Nida Dar also didn’t perform well in all formats.

Shorna Akter is the player of the match but I think she doesn’t deserve the medal of player of the match because she just scored 27 runs in 22 balls, which is a very cheap score but the other women of Bangladesh can’t do even 26 scores, so from nowhere she deserves the medal of player of the match. Bangladesh women’s do a very low score but Pakistan women's team can’t chase it and were all out at 100 runs.

1 more wicket for Pakistan and will have a juicy ending.

We did have a thrilling ending to this match and so far it was the first close finish match in this World Cup. That is a bit strange or the ODI matches no longer seem to be last over thrillers like the T20s.


I am hearing a lot of social media that Pakistan lost this match because the umpire did not give out and therefore DRS review did not go in Pakistan's favor but don't the Pakistan fans realize that Pakistan was losing this match throughout both innings, First, they made only 270 odds runs, then they weren't able to take quick wickets or put any dent on the scoring by South Africa.

Yes, in the last one hour of the game, they dominated the match and now crying over the social media on that decision. Strange.

I think I should say this, mate. Casinos are somewhat like exchanges, but the only difference is that casinos are gambling platforms, while exchanges are for trading cryptocurrencies and fiat

I hear this a lot but sorry I have to disagree with it an i think thisproverb applies here "With some toil, he explained water as being water."
You didn't explain why you think casinos are like exchanges and didn't mention the similarities between the two!
When it comes to security, then you are right. Both need to be as secure as possible as a huge amount of customers' money is at risk and need to be protected. But casinos can't impose many layers of security otherwise the user's experience won't be pleasant.

Exchanges are not the casinos and both of them are totally different from each other. Also, the fact is that people who gamble and the ones who trade, are totally different categories of people and there is no way we can find any similarities between gambling and trading.

If you want me to pinpoint a major difference between them, then I would that trading requires skill to be profitable while the criteria for gambling profitability is luck. 

The only similarity between them is money management, as the only way to save yourself from losing money in both trading and gambling is effective money management.

South Africa won a nail-biting victory in Chennai against Pakistan by just one wicket. Pakistan playoff chances are now hanging by a thread. I think That Umpire call took the match from Pakistan grip. Nevertheless best match of the world cup.

That was one of the first closet matches of this World Cup. The decision of umpire could have gone in either way like if the umpire had given him initially out, the decision by DRS would be umpire's call and it would have been a victory for Pakistan. Bad luck for them though.

Today is Saturday, meaning we will have two matches to witness.

Australia vs New Zealand

Toss win: Australia

1598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much do you Value your Privacy in Gambling? on: October 27, 2023, 05:55:16 PM
With regulatory pressures all around, there will soon be no no-KYC casinos in the industry and then those who are hesitant to provide their personal details and information to casino platforms will not have a choice but to comply with the rules and regulations imposed by the casinos. I don't say one shouldn't care about their privacy, but when we use the services of a platform, they can obviously ask us for details and information that they might need to verify whether we are clean and aren't involved in anything illegal or something.

Well, we are already living in a world where there is no KYC casino. The casinos that are completely KYC free are either very new or untrusted ones and playing there is not risk free. Some of them may let you play freely but won't let you withdraw with KYC.
So unless in future we will see some Web 3 decentralized casinos, that may be with the KYC, but right now we are live in a centralized world with KYC.


Those who have doubts about the integrity of the platforms and think that their information might be misused should find and use the most reputable and trusted platforms of the industry to rest assured that their data is secure and it isn't going to be used for illegal means or wouldn't be sold to third parties.

Even trusted platforms can misuse the KYC documents, can't they? What is the proof and guarantee that they will safeguard or protect our data ?
There is no guarantee at all. I don't know why the regulators who enforce the KYC on the customers, do not set the standards for keeping our data safe too, breaching it would result in heavy fines on the casinos and centralized gambling sites.
1599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 27, 2023, 05:36:23 PM

Yes, there are others who recover their losses and I think these are the only ones who are not too greedy, because once they recover their winnings, they will not bet again.
I experienced this before when I got back my loss but of course I felt like I would win a lot more so I just continued gambling until I ran out of money without realizing it. When you're really hooked and you receive a lot of money from your gambling, it's really hard to control yourself. I didn't repeat it because I was taken by what happened and I learned something from my stupidity at that time.

You will surely loss if you are counting your losses while gambling since your decision making will be affected by your desire to bet higher just to quickly recover. This is why you should think only about playing your current game and stop counting your loss so that  the game you are playing is in total control of your clear mind.

Just set a target profit and allocate a bankroll you should only use for that game so that you will never consider chasing loss or being greedy to win more once you hit those target.

Some people may ask why they lose even more when they are counting their losses or looking to recover their losses. Well, the answer is that once you are thinking about the loss, you are all surrounded by negative energy and you only are depressed and full of negative thoughts. That is the reason that you may lose even further.

Believe me or not, if you want to win, you need to have positive energy, hope and willingness to win. Only then you may succeed and may win in gambling.

Jansen, Coetzee and Shamsi were great with the ball while Pakistan just messed up once again. 270 is a really bad total in a 50 overs game especially against a team like South African batsmen who have been in phenomenal form these days.

Am expecting South Africa to win this one pretty easily as expected which would knock Pakistan out of the semifinals race.

Yes, for sure, South Africa will win today's game as they only need now 150 runs and they have 30 overs remaining to make these runs. Also with 8 wickets in hand who can stop them from winning this convincingly?

Both England and Pakistan team disappointed in this World Cup. They did not play to their potential. Both teams have some great players but it seems that they are playing an individual cause and not as a team. There is no planning and these two teams haven't adapted to the conditions and shifted their mindsets that here under 300 runs are not defendable.

Pakistan will be out of the World Cup race and I guess it is only a matter of time before England will face the same fate.
