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

Team win: New Zealand
Best Batsman:  Mitchell Marsh

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.
1625  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.

Other casino offer a no wagering requirements on free spin though. That x40 is really over kill if you will compare it to the average wagering requirements of casino here in the forum. Not trying to discourage everyone but rather a suggestion on what’s the current competition here.

Although I can’t really blame you since there’s a lot of casino become a victim of abused using their free spin that’s why some casino like you use a strict wagering requirements to counter potential abuse.

Hi dimonstration,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We recognize that a x40 requirement might be daunting for some, but we're not discouraged. Remember, the x40 wagering only applies to bonuses for new or recent sign-ups. Established players on our platform are offered different bonuses with varying wagers each week. Cashback bonuses on ROLR have 0 wagering requirements. And let's not forget the distinct perks for our VIPs/High rollers. ROLR has more to offer than just x40 wagering requirements; hopefully you'll stick around to discover more.

Stay tuned and let the good times roll,
ROLR Team

Well, it's your choice to put how much wagering requirement as you need to have something to stop the abuse of the free spins too however can you guide me on what you mean when you say "The World's Private Casino"?

What's special in your casino that makes it a private casino?
Is it KYC free casino or what else that makes it "private"  Huh or are you using privacy coins on your site? 
1628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 27, 2023, 12:41:01 PM
Too early to say anything. Pakistan got the initial advantage, when they won the toss and then decided to bat first. A lot will depend on how long Babar Azam stays out there. After these two, it is the allrounders and then the bowlers. Both the top-runs corers for Pakistan are out now (Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique). Babar was in poor form until now, and it needs to be seen whether he will be able to rescue Pakistan today. So far both of them are looking somewhat comfortable against the spinners. But what will happen once Jansen and Coetzee are re-introduced?

Pakistan team throughout the tournament failed to attack the opponent and this is exactly happening in today's game also. After 25 overs Pakistan going with 5 run per over. With this scoring rate Pakistan will only be able to give a target of 270 or 300 maximum. Seeing the bowling form of Pakistani bowlers 300 won't be a safe target. Pakistan already lost 4 wickets and there chances of scoring 300 are now very slim.
In starting of this match, Pakistan batting was very low quality and their opener batter did not show great effort in batting and they did not manage big score. Abdullah Shafique got got after making 9 score just only. Imam ul Haq got out at 12 score which was not show good performance. Babar Azam performance was just little bit impressive because he scored 50 score and not complete full century at least complete his half century and his performance better performance then other batters like Muhammad Rizwan. Now they lost all main batters of their team and only 3 batters remain for batting which is all bowler of their squad. At present, Pakistan successfully made 250 score in 43 overs and let's see at the end their batting how much they will give a defending target to South Africa team.

Nawaz play very well and he hit a beautiful boundary in just the previous ball, i know you see later this post that’s why I mentioned the over name 43.9. In this ball, he hit a best, amazing, and amazing boundary. Anyway, Shamsi was very harmful in this match for Pakistan because he took the 3 best and game-changer batsmen of Pakistan, and Pakistan batsmen played very well in this match and they should have because if Pakistan lost this match so maybe Pakistan lost the World Cup. Now, 3 or 4 overs left in the Pakistan innings, so let’s see what happens in these overs.

The total runs that Pakistan finishes will matter the most as their bowlers need some good total to bowl and defend.

Pakistan ended up being 270 all out in the 47th over.  This may seem a good recovery but there is nothing to be optimistic about the Pakistan team today.

We know that South Africa has one of the best batting line up and this 270 score is nothing for them to chase. Pakistan's only hope is to get quick wickets and keep on taking the wickets throughout the innings until they are able to bowl them out. If the South African batsmen are able to play the whole 50 overs, I don't think that Pakistan bowlers can defend that small score.
Yes, 270 is a small score on the pitches of India where even 350 seems insufficient at times.

Tomorrow updates
Pakistan predictors will be given 10 extra points. Hassan ali ruled out of tomorrow match. Wasim jnr might be another option to play.

I think after previous losses and also the current situation, this is a sort of do and die match for Pakistan. Keeping this in mind, I think we can bet on the Pakistan team for today's match. Also we can take a chance and earn these 10 extra points.

South Africa on the other hand is on a roll and looks comfortable on the points table.

Pakistan vs South Africa

Toss Win: Pakistan
Team Win: Pakistan

could you ever bet millions if you had it?
No.

I honestly do not risk too much into bets when I gamble. It's something I do for fun to test my proficiency in predicting a sport I love to watch, staking excessively will take away a chunk of the fun. I'll rather stake low with the chance to win a low reward, than risk a ridiculous amount.

- Jay -

Most people will say that they wouldn't bet a million dollars if they had that much money. That's not true. The reason is that once you do not have this money, you always think that you will take care of that money and be a responsible gambler but things will change when you have that money in real.

When you have a million dollars, it means that your lifestyle is changed altogether, you have a business that is making you a million dollars and maybe more and then you think ok i have a lot of money and I can bet one million dollars and have a feeling of a lifetime. Yeah, you and I do not have that one million dollars now, so we can only think that we won't risk that money in betting.
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 26, 2023, 05:59:10 PM
I'd like to share my experience with you all. Even though I'm not currently employed, I went through a phase of gambling while I was working in the past, and the outcome wasn't positive. It affected my job performance because, as you may know, when you lose, you tend to dwell on your losses and constantly think about strategies to win. When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.

Let me tell you, the feeling is far from pleasant. It leads to a decline in your work performance, which can have significant consequences since that's your primary source of income. It might be manageable if you're winning, but the harsh reality is often quite the opposite. Even when we do win, we tend to spend most of our winnings, so we don't treat it as business money. This leaves us in a precarious situation when we lose because the money we initially budgeted for our families gets diverted to cover unexpected gambling-related expenses.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.


Regardless of whether you win or lose in gambling, if you are gambling at work, this means that you are indulging in other activities other than your day job and it will definitely have a bad effect on your job performance. Jobs want dedication and commitment from the person but if you are doing your personal things (like gambling on your mobile) while at work, you can't remain dedicated to your work.

If you want to gamble or bet while on work, I will advise you to gamble in your free time when you are not occupied with the job. For example, you may gamble when you are having lunch at work. This way, it will not be a burden on you and your job performance will also remain unaffected.

Sorry to hear that some of you encountered problem with crash game. I have already forwarded this to the team.
This happens mostly due to poor internet connection or when you are offline. Otherwise, it should work perfectly though.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

So the problem of crash games on coins.game is that gamblers have issues with their own internet connection and it has nothing to do with the site itself.

Are you sure on that it is why many people will complain about the crash game, they can't have an internet issue at all times. or can they?

I think it is the load on the crash games when many people connect on the game and it crashes. Moreover, this crash may not mean much to the site but for the end user, they are just losing their money on every such freezes Sad
1633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 26, 2023, 05:38:59 PM
As the gambling industry is evolving, I think innovations would have kicked in that can make someone create a career from gambling. I do not know how this can be achieved but I feel it is possible.

There is no concept of making a career through gambling. This idea is just a flop and the reason for this is that gambling is based on luck and there is no career which can be built with luck. You progress in your career with experience, while the experience of gambling does not matter as every day, every hour and every minute is a new day new hour and a new minute in gambling.

Making gambling a full time job might be seen as risky but I still feel one can make gambling full time job and a career.

Gambling does not require you to think all day before gambling, so why can't you gamble part time while being on real job or business? Even you can access gambling during job/business and still continue your other work.

Also if you believe that gamblers should gamble all day long, they will only lose more money and become addicted to gambling, if they spend most hours of the day busy in gambling.
1634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: October 26, 2023, 05:24:48 PM
Gambling is not an illicit activities, but we are the ones that make illicit activities comes out in gambling with our hands, we are expected to gamble as a means of an entertainment, people are expected to enjoy gambling during their leisure free time, those that made gambling a business also were expected to make profits in providing us with adequate gambling activities, but when there are other motives hiden under the normal ways of how gambling should run, we are the ones that are found responsible for that.

Well let's face the facts, gambling casinos are made with the intention of making money from them and they are not made for charity purposes or not even, they are made for to provide fun to the gamblers.
Similarly, the gambler's motive is to earn money and there are very few who are playing only for fun.

However, i do agree that gambling by itself is not an illicit activity. It is only the player's way of gambling and the motive behind their gamble, that makes us believe that it is an illicit activity.

England and Sri Lanka have had a very poor journey so far in this World Cup both team have won one match each ,

In today’s match England team played very poorly in every section, they played poorly in bowling, batting, and fielding. The England team gave a target of 156, which teams give in T20 and England gave Sri Lanka in ODI. There are too much differences between T20 and ODI. This is not a way to give the target in ODI.

Now, that England’s team qualifies in the top 4 chances to go on their own become difficult. Now, I don’t think that the England team can qualify for the semi-final. The best players’ of the England team are not in their form,  like Jos Buttler's performance is very poor in this match and also in the previous matches that were played by England.

I also believe that he is spending way more on gambling than the subscription of $20 on his new shinny console, he is enjoying himself so let him, and if you think that gaming will destroy him just like gambling then you don't know the difference, the urge to play video games is different from the urge to make a fortune with gambling, one is less addictive than the other.
However, he will still become addicted to video games and can spend the whole day without doing other activities. But at least he had saved much money instead of using it for gambling. And maybe later, he can find a way to make money from playing video games.

If he could make money, that would be a great way. He could even benefit from playing video games but he has to find a way. That's like what I saw in some young people playing video games on smartphones.

They enthusiastically played the video game and answered that it could make money when I asked about it. But I don't know how because I didn't ask further.
I think changing his addiction to video games is much better and safer because it helps to lessen the expenses as well as the possibility of losing a huge amount of money. It is also much safer than using the 100% addiction withdrawal method which causes many psychological side effects to the person. Cross-addiction can occur because addictive behaviors often stem from underlying psychological and emotional issues that are not fully resolved, leaving individuals vulnerable to developing new addictive patterns to fill the void left by the initial addiction.

Do you think that the gambler who is used to gambling with real money and who is used to gaining money from gambling, will quit gambling and start playing video games where is have no chance to win any money  Huh

This is highly unlikely to happen as gamblers will need something from where they can make easy money and video games are not the replacement of gambling/casino games.

I don't think that anything can be a substitute for gambling  Roll Eyes

Actually, for me though, I don't see any need or reason to still gamble on any casino that is outside this forum since i am already here, except i have been gambling on that casino before i find my way into this forum, then that is totally a different case, but for me to be in this forum and be looking at gambling on casinos that are outside this forum, i honestly do not think it makes sense though some people may still think there is nothing wrong with that.

For the bitcointalk forum users, yes, it is easy to choose the casino as there are so many casinos having advertisements here, and most of them have ANN threads where official representatives are actively replying to gamblers' queries. We do not need to seek gambling sites other than on this forum as I think that the best of the best sites are advertising here.


There are a lot of great casinos here on the forum, good and reputable casinos one doesn't have to search so hard to trust, and the beautiful thing is that, since the casino is already here, it's very easy to follow them up in terms of updates, and also very easy and convenient to report the casino any time they begin to mess up.

Another thing is that here you will get true feedback of the casino sites on their gambling Ann threads. There is no paid or false feedback on bitcointalk as we often see on other platforms such as trust pilot etc.

Also, most of the time, all the announcements of the gambling sites are posted on the ANN thread and thoroughly discussed by the members, hence this forum is one of the convenient ways to know about all the updates of the casino sites.

England's performance in every match has surprised me. If this is the case with the last world champions, what team will we be watching?

Honestly, we never expected this type of performance by the England team. Yes, any team can lose on any day but the way England lost to
Sri Lanka today, it was least expected.

England were all out in the 34th over and made only 156 runs. A team with having batting lineup like Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root , Ben Stokes and others, can you imagine they will be making only 156 runs and that too against one of the weakest team Sri Lanka ?

Another thing which no one is talking about now , is the people who bet on the England team. (England was the favorite before the start of the match). There will be 90% people betting on England today and they all have lost the bet and money.

I also feel sorry for the lady but life goes on. If she called off the wedding, life goes on.

But I want to ask a question. The lady only called off the wedding and continue with the man or she also broke up with the man? The finance may not be a gambler but just want to try his luck, but that is stupidity.

I have seen something like this before but I did not know who contributed the money. Men like some risky. Some of them were luck but some were not lucky.

Even if she called off the marriage and refused to marry this man, she would not get her money back. By calling off the marriage, she will lose her husband too to whom she was to marry. The money is gone already. Don't know what decision is beneficial for her  Huh

I think if the husband's intention was to double the money, only to get his wife out of trouble of saving more money, then I won't call it wrong but one thing he did wrong was that he gambled with the money, without asking from his wife. If he had consulted his future wife and told him that he wanted to double the money through gambling, the wife could have either refused or maybe asked him to use only 10% or less money to try his luck.

Yes, that is the correct approach towards gambling. Some people like going to the movies, others go bowling, others go travelling and eating out, while there are people who just want to go gambling. So instead of spending their money on every other activities people are used to, they spend it on their bets, and that shouldn't be seen as a waste of money, because it's part of their personal preferences to spend gambling, and not doing other hobbies.

I take this by the example of someone who were very close to me and didn't have pleasure going to the movies anymore. Instead, she loved gambling at casinos. That was what brought entertainment to her and even not enjoying the fact she was losing money this way, I think I should have felt happy, because gambling was the activity which was at least putting a smile on her face and bringing some joy to her life...

Here you are talking about those gamblers who gamble for fun and entertainment and they treat gambling as an expense towards their entertainment. Unlike other gamblers the lost in gambling is not a big concern for them. Also they do not run after the profits and winning the game is not the only motive for them.

I think these are the people who really enjoy gambling, they gamble in a relax mode and since there is no pressure of winning the games they feel truly entertained by gambling on the casinos.
