Yes, Indonesia does prohibit gambling, but there are many active gamblers in our country. Of course this happens because it is easy to access online gambling services. Even though the government restricts access to gambling sites, we can use VPN. Of course, we choose a gambling site that allows VPN use and avoids KYC

Sometimes countries that prohibit gambling actually have lots of gamblers, because human nature is curious. The more forbidden it is, the more curious it becomes. Cheesy

Even though your country prohibits gambling, but you can still play online gambling as long as the gambling site does not restricts your location. I do not know about Sherbet if they allow gamblers from Indonesia but generally speaking, it should not be a problem for anyone from Indonesia  to access the online gambling sites and gambling without the government or the authorities would never come to know about it.

If you want to be more safe, a use of a VPN may further prevent your ISP to know if you access the gambling sites but then keep in mind the terms and conditions of the gambler's site for vpn usage.

The big match day, hopefully we will get good cricket from both the sides because in the last few instances of their appearance everything went to one-sided game, so hopefully this world cup match will be actually a #GreatestRivalry as we expect.

I am not sure whether team management will choose Shami for this match, but I believe he is the best on this particular venue and he proved that in the IPL edition as well.

Even if Shami do not play this match, I think India has enough strong bowling and batting lineup, that they should win against the Pakistan team. Also we know the head to head record of both teams in the ICC World and the Indian team dominates.

Here goes my prediction in the favour of India.  Smiley

Match 12: India Vs Pakistan

Toss win: India
Match win: India
Best batsman: Viral Kholi
Best bowler: Kuldeep Yadav

India vs Pakistan time! Both teams won their first two matches though India seems to be better when compared to Pakistan, but no one can say for sure who will win in such high stakes encounters.

I am expecting this one to be another one-sided affair though in India's favor primarily due to their superior bowling attack. Excited!

Before that historic match we have another match between Australian women and West Indies women. The previous of this series was mostly won by Australian women. The last match of this series was ended because of heavy rain, but if we check the score of the last match so West Indies women did not play as well, as it should.

West Indies women lost their 8 wickets in 25 overs. That is a very poor play by West Indies women. I think that West Indies cricket time is up because the women's team doesn’t perform and the men's team also doesn’t perform. They can’t qualify for the World Cup from the qualifying rounds. West Indies won the first World Cup of cricket history and now they can’t qualify for the World Cup. I hope that the West Indies team comes back in form but I think West Indies' time is up for cricket. The next cricket World Cup will be hosted by West Indies and America, Imagine that West Indies hosts the World Cup and they can’t qualify for the World Cup.

I agree with you, we are expected to lose so you should have a budget allocated for each gambling game.

"Don't chase the losses, instead consider it as payment for the entertainment" I just read this and it's a good idea that we should do this.
If you don't feel comfortable, I think you should stop and don't chase your lost money anymore because we know that the more you chase it, the worse it gets.

The most important thing is that we are mentally ready, if we lose a certain game, we know how to react to it. In an ideal case, any loss should not make us sad or emotional because we should be playing according to our plan. We need to have such a plan where a loss does not affect our portfolio.

If you feel that after the loss, your gambling portfolio is considerably down, it means that you are doing something wrong and you need to rethink your gambling strategy. A successful gambler is one who has everything defined to him as how to react to the wins and losses in gambling.

New Zealand team won today's match by 8 wickets. New Zealand won the match by exceeding the run target given by Bangladesh team very easily. Just as they did well in the bowling line, the New Zealand team won so easily today because of the good performance in the batting line.  Done. Daryl Mitchell scored 89 runs off 67 balls. Bangladesh team batsman Litton Das got out with 0 runs off 1 ball.

New Zealand won the match and found the best wonderful bowler whose name is Lockie Ferguson. He did a wonderful and amazing job today. Lockie Ferguson took 3 wickets which is very good, and he just gave around 50 scores.

The all team of New Zealand had a beautiful performance, But sadly Kane Williamson was again injured in today’s match. He had a thumb injury. Most of people are waiting for his century but sadly he can’t do the century.

After the IPL 2023 Kane Williamson had a bad time because after that he was always injured. I hope that he recovers their injury fast because I want to see him in this World Cup.

Which is more entertaining? playing games listening to music or without music just sound of the games like roulette ball bouncing on the metal wheel or playing games in silence?
While listening to music its hard to control our emotions while losing and we are not able to concentrate on game. it is highly likely that we blow our account by betting high.
but it is more entertaining while listening music on low volume and playing games.


Well sometimes I think that the music also give us some positive energy and positive vibes and theirfore if you listen to the music you love 😘, while gambling , you may feel confident and you may rather enjoy the gambling.

I would say that as long as the music does not distract you and distract your games then you can listen to the music and have more fun while gambling.

One thing to be clear that listening to music will not change the outcome of the game, it is just the personal choice.
1707  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: October 13, 2023, 05:12:10 PM
well, thats what I mean, its important for us to always maintain the confidentiality of our gambling activities wherever we are because there are lots of benefits that we will get, not only from friends borrowing money when we win, but also sometimes we go on holiday in a country that we dont know turns out to prohibit gambling. so that we will avoid being trapped by this law as you said because sometimes we go on holiday to other countries, we dont understand what rules are prohibited, so sometimes online gambling can help us to hide the gambling activities we do.
I don't know how the relationship between laws in other countries can affect us gamblers when we vacation there. Gambling activities are individual in nature and countries don't go too deep into such matters and maintaining the confidentiality of the gambling we do is more about the level of comfort so that people don't think badly of us, That is if we live in a country where the majority of people consider gambling to be a form of bad activity.

Online gambling available on several existing sites is a good choice for those of us who are in this situation because people will never know about the gambling activities we do. The level of comfort will be much more guaranteed compared to traditional gambling, but regarding security it depends on each of us to maintain it.
Keeping one's gambling habit a secret can be detrimental to the gambler if he's not disciplined enough to handle his emotions especially when he's losing in gambling. But for people who can perfectly handle their emotions, it's absolutely good if they decides to keep their gambling habits a secret.
For someone who's controlled by his emotions, telling few trusted friends or family members is good as they'll help to keep him in check when he's losing his money by stopping him from gambling more which might result to him becoming a gambling addict while for someone who's able to control himself even when he's losing keeping it a secret wouldn't have any negative effect on him

For someone who can manage their emotions, things like this or making it open to some people who you really trust will allow you to be monitored and if in case you exceed from your limits, there are someone who can remind you and let you go from the beginning, pause for a while or quit and rest to think about it and re-assess your conditions.

Something that will really help you to avoid the chance of getting addicted, being discreet or making it secret might harm you once addictions triggers, better to have someone to tap you and help you to move forward and solve a potential problem that will arise.

I just do not know for how long one can keep his gambling habit secret from his family. When you are living in the same house with your family, won't they ask that why are you busy on the laptop or computer (you are playing gambling). Also if you are losing money while gambling they may ask where the money you are spending.

And any day your family may catch you playing gambling and that will be the very embarrassing moment for you. So why not take your family in confidence and tell them your activities and time and money you spend weekly on gambling.
1708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health on: October 13, 2023, 04:23:03 PM
I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.

People need to understand that gambling is a two-way activity- results can go either way.

Sure, a person may experience a winning streak that may result to him winning significant amounts of cash. But that does not mean that his subsequent games will continue the fire- in fact, the more the person gambles, the more chances that they lose at the end due to the presence of "house-edge" or the edge that gambling platforms have for their profit.

If a person truly wants to capitalize on their winnings, then better to treat gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a source of money.

Every person needs to understand or at least needs to find his purpose or goal of doing gambling. To finding the motive of gambling in your life is too much important. If anyone is in the gambling to meet his daily day to day expenses then he is totally on a wrong track.

For sure he will not be able to win daily or consistently in gambling and when he knows that he has to get money from gambling in order to run his house , this will add  a lot of mental pressure and can cause serious health issues for him.
1709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 ACTUAL DISCUSSION THREAD! on: October 13, 2023, 03:38:41 PM
The Bangladesh team scored only 245 runs in the game between Bangladesh and New Zealand. The target of 246 runs has been given to New Zealand and to fulfill this target the New Zealand team is playing exceptionally well. The way New Zealand played in the beginning today looked really disappointing, but later on they improved their game and increased the run rate. They don't have to put too much pressure on themselves to win today and easily win the match against Bangladesh. So far, since New Zealand's great batsmen Daryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson are in the field, I think they will take the game and eventually leave the field with a win. And I can definitely make a correct prediction today that New Zealand will win the match comfortably. With this match, New Zealand's three matches will end and if they win today's match, they will have a great three match win in ICC. New Zealand team is going to win against Bangladesh soon, they need only 77 runs from 94 balls to complete the target, which is very easy for New Zealand.

The score of New Zealand is very good. We can expect that New Zealand can win this match. New Zealand's target is less and their current score is over the initial required run rate.

If we are starting the discussion about players, If New Zealand wins so I think Kane Williams is the man of the match because he does score good runs for his team. He is on the strike and I want to see the century by Kane Williamson. He is too close to a century. New Zealand made a distance of twenty balls, which means New Zealand needs 63 runs in 83 balls. If we only talk about Kane Williamson,it won't be fair with other players too because other players are also playing equally well. Daryl Mitchell made a half-century in 45 balls. That is very good batting by New Zealand.

I hope that he takes more wickets in today’s match against Bangladesh. At this time, the score of Bangladesh is under 200, and 40 overs were passed so I would like to predict the score, and I predict the score of 246.

You predicted the score almost right and Bangladesh give the target of 246 runs to the New Zealand team to win. I am impressed by your exact score prediction  Smiley

Bangladesh batsmen failed badly in this match. Only Mushfiqur Rahim scored 66 runs and i could not find any other top order batsmen playing a responsible innings. Yes their captain Shakib Al Hasan scored 40 odds runs and similarly, we see a 41 runs by Mahmudullah but all in all it was the New Zealand bowlers who dominated the match and took 9 wickets to restrict the Bangladesh team to under 250 runs.

1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a strategy to lose on: October 12, 2023, 05:33:01 PM
To focus only in one gambling game in order to become a "specialist" on it doesn't guarantee considerable advantages on outcomes compared to less experienced gamblers in a particular game. I think it's important to have knowledge and understanding of how gambling games in general work, what you can expect from them on long term, what the house's advantage against you is, strategies to enable your bankroll to last longer. However, it seems a waste of time to put so much effort into a single game which is based on luck attempting to find a trick to increase your winning chances, what is impossible.

The OP has no idea of the difference between games where there is a house edge and games where there is not. As you rightly say, in casino games, and I would qualify where there is a house edge, spending time and losing money to supposedly become a 'specialist' is a waste of time, which at best might make you lose less quickly in the long run. In games where there is no house edge, such as sports betting or poker, it may make more sense to invest time and money because you could make a profit in the long run.

I think the OP also do not realize that gambling is a game of luck and no matter how many times you play and how much experience you have, every game is a new game and it does not matter if you have played many of those games before or you're a totally newbie in this industry.

Also the typical casino games always have the house edges and there is no casino which will let you gamble without the house edge.

Sports betting is something different and it comes in the betting category. Here also having experience will not matter much because every game is a new game. However if gambler have experience and knowledge of the sports then he or she might have a bit of edge while batting on that sports and game.

1712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you not gamble on women sports? (tennis not included) on: October 12, 2023, 05:22:25 PM
I'll pass on women's sports to be honest, even if it's not politically correct to say so. The only thing I've watched from time to time has been a bit of beach volleyball to see them in bikinis moving around and things like that. Women's sports don't attract the attention of viewers in anywhere near the same way that men's sports do, and if many are seen more nowadays it's because they follow political guidelines and are subsidised. For example, women's football is loss-making, and what clubs do with what they earn from men's football is to compensate for the losses in women's football.

With that background, there's no way I'm going to bet on women's sports because I'm not interested.

I really don't think that we should look at the women's sports in this prospective that the women's are playing to show off and not playing for the countries or people are only interested in watching the clothes of women playing the sports.

Women play football , women play cricket , womens are in the Olympics, I think in every game these days, we see woman team, the women matches, the women series so we don't and we can't deny the importance of the women's sports.

Yes I do agree that betting on women teams is difficult and the reason for this is that we do not know about the teams and women players and therefore it becomes hard to decide to which team or which player to bet on.

The only good news is this time I remember how this weakness of mine always makes me lose in the past so I stop already gambling and take a break. This is what I’m trying to share here. If you really feel that your gambling doesn’t want to make you move forward by having decent profit and just giving you a hard time then don’t hesitate to quit! Don’t push forward while you are already playing uncomfortably because this will just make you bet recklessly.

This is really good to hear that you managed to stop yourself from gambling and will want to have a break when you feel that luck is not in your favor. Many people know this but they are unable to do it practically, keep on playing and lose more.

I would like to know what is your gambling experience once you return to gambling. Did the bad streak end and did you start to win after a break? It would be nice if you updated on this thread when you resume and the results of wins or loses of your few games played when you resume gambling.

It can further motivated others , to follow you, when they know the results which you share later.
1714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 12, 2023, 04:07:10 PM
This one was a match which I thought would be close. And in the end, we are getting another one-sided match in which South Africa is going to win by a 3-digit margin. Marco Jansen has picked up the wicket of Mitchell Starc, to break the 7th wicket partnership. Now Australia are at 137/7, and they are trailing by 172 runs. Did we had any close matches so far in this world cup? Even matches between the pig-4 teams are turning out to be one-sided. And surprisingly Netherlands have so far managed to lose their matches by two digit margins.

Now, we can say that Australia has too less chances to win today’s match against South Africa. South Africa takes Australia wickets like a dripping of water. Australia lost their 8 batsmen. This is the second match of Australia and they have chances to lose their second match, they also have their first match against India, and today they are near to losing against South Africa.

Now, we are going to talk about South Africa's team performances in this World Cup. So, The South African team’s performance was very good, we are impressed with their performance. I think the win of South Africa's credit goes to De Kock, he plays very well in this World Cup and he should play well because this is the last World Cup of De Kock.
1715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: October 12, 2023, 03:58:26 PM
At one of the local gambling shop I visited during the weekend I happened to listen to a conversation between two bald looking gamblers at the shop talking about one of their gambling colleague who had won a big amount of money amounting to a million in the local currency and due to that win this colleague of theirs' has been avoiding them since e won that money. From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.

After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.

We don't know the whole story, maybe the guy did the same to him so he is just giving back what they did to him we really don't know their relationship or the man is really that stingy to give even a small portion of his winning, and it's not good it speaks of his character.

Here in our country, the tradition is to part some of your winnings if it's a big amount I always give a percentage of my winning whenever I win a big amount even to strangers so in case the scenario shifts they will also return the favor.

Winning a huge amount means luck smiles on you so you should share your blessing so the blessing keeps coming if people see that you are stingy they will avoid and you will have no friend left.


It is always better not to tell anyone of your big wins, as it usually will create problems for you. Friends may start asking for money from you in the form of loans or gifts. Other friends may become jealous of you and some may quit the friendship with you.
In some worse case scenarios, they may try to harm you because of jealousy or even try to snatch your money.

I will prefer not to tell anyone; if I win anything substantial from gambling. This holds true for any money I won, not just limited to gambling etc. The point is when you have money, means that you are happy, what's the point in telling everyone and creating unwanted troubles?

In today's match of Australia vs South Africa team I thought Australia team will perform well and will win the match. But due to bad performance in bowling line South Africa has given a target of 311 runs in 50 overs in today's match. South Africa team batsmen have really done amazing performance. Now bat.  Australia team came to the field to do. They scored 70 runs in 17 overs. Now Australia team is under a lot of pressure after losing 5 wickets. I don't think Australia team can win in today's match.

According to the Australia score and target, I think that Australia also will lose their second match of this World Cup. South Africa gave a very good target to Australia, they gave a target of 311 score which is an awesome target. I think Australia can’t chase the target because, in the current situation, Australia lost its main players which can prevent Australia from losing.

Another thing, in most of the matches of this World Cup, we see a century from one player, and today Quinton de Kock did a century. The bowling of the Australian team is also not good. They gave away too many runs.

Mistakes are a part of individual traders growth in the crypto space. Then it's also true that trading is not easy; other newbies just think it's just buying and selling, but they don't think that these are things that should be considered in reality to achieve the desired profit.

And most of us already know that passion is really needed in crypto trading or in anything we want to know and learn. Apart from this, the only thing that is often done by others is that, due to a lack of knowledge, they base their trading on luck, while others become emotional and make rash decisions in their trading activity.

Almost all the traders will make mistake, it is very rare that any trader will never make any mistake in trading. Sometimes in a trade, we get a emotionally involved and take decision based on our emotions which eventually result in loss.

For example some traders follow the money management principle but at sometimes they get greedy and put more money into a single trade and if that trade goes in the wrong direction they will lose money.

I usually make mistake of not putting a stop loss in my trades and thus keep holding those trades for a longer duration.

Trading is a lifetime skill that is always beneficial if you know what you are doing, the biggest mistake of traders is trading alt that most times doesn't obey market structure,
when it comes to cryptocurrency, trade only Bitcoin.
Bitcoin doesn't just give you profit, it gives you security, it obeys market structure, for the past 2yrs I have been trading, I only have losess only when I trading Alt, price action trading I utilize will trading always gives me result when trading Bitcoin, but when it comes to Alt I really do feel as if am gambling, so my fellow traders, trade only Bitcoin, I don't know if anyone feel the same way?

I think that you need to first learn the trading because even if you do trading in Bitcoin or altcoins you will lose money in case you are not familiar with the price action and all the trading methodology.

Yes if you want to invest then you should only invest in bitcoins but I think if you are a experience traders altcoins trading can give you more profit as compared to Bitcoin trading because there is more fluctuation in the prices of altcoins as compared to the Bitcoin.

So final wordings, long term investment go for Bitcoin and short term trading go for altcoins.

Just want to share my experience, I depo last week - spin the wheel and got 100 freespins on one of Pragmatic slot, well it almost stop on 600 freespins.

Anyway the luck is not on my side last week, maybe it will be different this week. Thanks for the promo Winz!
Well, bad luck is not something to worry about, for as far as gambling is concerned, bad luck is like a cake that every gambler must have a taste of, best thing to do in times when you feel that luck is not on your side is just to step away from gambling for a while, and possibly come back later and try again.

Its what I myself do most of the time, and some times, it does work, and some other times, it doesn't, but what I have always considered to be the most important is that thing is to never gamble excessively, that is to always gamble with funds one can afford to lose, so that if by the reason of bad luck, one ends up losing all his or her funds, he or she will still be ok and not regret the loss much.

Anyways, for me, its been a while i played on this casino last, I currently do not have any plans of playing here for now, but I will just have to wish you good luck on your next trail.
Some days are like that you end up losing all your previous winnigs and that is why sometime we advice you to always give a break when you already made some winning for the day, and leave to try your luck again another day, this is why a lot of gamblers some time end up losing because their chase a winning direction so much because of the early winning results.


Taking a break is the most effective approach to avoiding this scenario in most cases and just as Fivestar mentioned, that mechanism works sometimes even though not all the time but it does help a whole lot.

People do not realise that sometimes not gambling at all is better for a gambler then to gamble. This is more true when you are facing a lot of losses and you are all surrounded by the bad luck.

Most of the time we have seen that when the gamblers take a break their continuous bad luck period ends and when they resume they start all over with a good luck. Experience gamblers realise this but the new gamblers may take some time to understand this logic. Even when you take a break some new ideas may come to your mind and which can proof to be a reason for your winnings.

Pakistan team is in the best position right now. Because they are almost at the end of the match by protecting the wicket. However, Pakistan's victory depends on these two batsmen, Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, who are currently batting. Because I can see that if Pakistan wins today's match then Shafique, Rizwan and Saud Shakeel will have the most role. As today's game Sri Lanka team gave Pakistan a big score of runs. This target is the most difficult to achieve but Pakistan team players are patient due to which they are close to winning the match so far. Right now Pakistan team can win 37 runs from 33 balls.

First Abdullah Shafique and then Mohammad Rizwan snatched the victory from the Srilankan team. Who would have thought that an unpredictable team with unpredictable batting can chase this much score?

The Srilankan bowling line completely failed against the Pakistan batsmen and Mohammad Rizwan played a remarkable innings, even though he was getting unfit at the end of the innings but still continued to play for his team.

The below scorecard will tell you all,
