You can't really blame people for not wanting to play poker anymore. You said it yourself "it requires knowledge and skill" and frankly enough not a lot of people will be willing to put in the required work and hours to learn a game only to fail horribly to opponents with years of experience under their belt.
Well, if you do not learn and play, how can you become a professional poker player? People need to realize that those who are experienced, were one day very new to poker, but they did not leave the poker only because there are experienced players already in the market. By the way, does experience really count in Poker:  We get the cards by luck and therefore this game 80% depends on the luck and 20% on the moves by the players. |

Every warm-up match had been interesting to watch due to the high scoring. In today's match Williamson tossed the coin in style and soon after winning the toss he nodded the head and took batting. It means they've already planned whether to go with batting/bowling on winning the toss. Same as what they had planned, things are working in favour of New Zealand team.
Weather conditions disturbed the match, yet everything is on time. Close to 350 runs can b expected as New Zealand have reached 243/3 in 40 overs. New player Chapman on the crease is now waiting for another fresh batsman from the pavilion.
New Zealand's innings stopped at 321 runs against South Africa. If New Zealand could have continued the way they started in the end, the score would have crossed 350 plus, but they were not very aggressive towards the end against the South African bowlers. I wouldn't say the South African bowlers bowled very well today, they picked up a wicket early in the game but then they didn't pick up wickets for a long time, due to overheating two players got off the field with good runs for the team. South Africa took a total of six wickets against New Zealand and managed to pick up five of them in the last over which led to New Zealand's first innings total of 321 otherwise the first innings total could have been bigger. South Africa is struggling in terms of the run rate and are at 60 runs with one wicket down. If they can manage to keep the wickets in hand, this match may become tense at the end but for now, South Africa not only needs to accelerate a bit but make sure that they do not lose wickets too. Devon Conway played a very good innings of 78 runs before he was retired hurt. If he had played more, I am sure he would have made the century. Their captain Tom Latham , also played a good innings of 52 runs and helped their team make almost a match winning total (their bowlers of course need to defend this score). |

As experts say, gamble responsibly. When you are greedy, that's already a significant non-compliance with responsible gambling. So, expect that you'll lose; there's no need to further explain this.
Greed is a human behavior that is difficult to eliminate, but we can control it when gambling, therefore learn to control emotions and control yourself to gamble wisely, of course gambling must be responsible but we also need to know and understand the meaning of responsibility in terms of This, don't waste money unnecessarily. Always limit your budget before gambling as an alarm for us to stop. Usually we can control our greed when we have a really good mindset, for example gambling just for fun, nothing more than that, let alone making money and making gambling a source of steady and consistent income, so listen to the experts on this forum, always remember the message that Always remind and read this thread because it is important for us to be able to control greedy behavior. It is impossible to control our greed especially when we are new to gambling. We do not know how greediness can destroy our portfolio but we only realize it once we have lost a lot of money in gambling. When we analyses our loses, we see that most of the time it is because of our greediness because if we had stopped the game and not wished for more profit, we could have enjoyed our profits and not converted the sure shot profit into losses. |

Exactly, a bad streak happens to all of us but is always frustating. It is easy to say to stop on time and take your winnings but when everything is going your way, you will always be inclined to keep going and keep playing as you think you will keep winning.
Unfortunately even stopping to play without waiting better results to come doesn't guarantee the losing streak will not resume once you will go back to the game the next day or even the next year. Life is life, sometimes outcomes are good, sometimes they are bad. What is dangerous is to chase your losses by increasing your stake, because if you lose again you will need to increase it even more, until finding yourself in a very bad situation that can harm your personal life sadly. Still, if you are in a losing mode, stopping and coming back tomorrow is somewhat better than keeping on playing for the day. I do not say that the next day the luck will change and you will start winning, the only thing that will change is your mood. You will come up fresh. The losses that you bear yesterday will be less burden on your mind as you had a break and a sleep. You will start over again. If you started winning, then it's good, if you started to lose again, then it's time to again quit for the day and come back the next day. |

Today Asian games T20 7 match between Nepal vs Maldives had ended.Nepal won the match by 138 runs. Kushal Malla and Rohit Paudel played well and stand a rock of scores for Maldives players. Kushal Malla made 47 runs in just 20 balls and Rohit Paudel scored 52 runs in just 27 balls. Nepal made 212 runs with fall of 7 wickets. Kushal Bhurtel and Gulsan Jha made 35 _35 runs and showed good contribution. Nazwan took 3 wickets by giving 17 runs in 4 overs. Naseer took 1 wicket by giving 23 runs in 3 overs. In response, Maldives team cannot chase this score and all team out on 74 runs. Ganee made 36 runs in 34 balls. Maldives 8 batsman cannot enter in double figures. Bohara took 6 wickets by 11 runs in 3.4 overs. Kami and Jha took 1 - 1 wicket.
I did say that Nepal is the best team among all of these three. And that is what is being proven time and time again. Nepal is just destroying the other two teams. And it is absolutely true that there is nothing which the other teams can actually do about it. In this match. Also, Nepal just destroyed their opponent. They put on a very big score, which was definitely impossible for the opponent to actually successfully chase down. 213 is definitely a very big score for any team to chase. And it was the Maldives who had to chase down this total. As soon as they saw the target, they knew they were screwed. Eight players were not able to reach their score to a double digit and six of them were zeros. Maldives had no hope in this match. Nepal is just showing their class to the other teams and they stand out among them. Not only do they score big runs but at the same time they bowl out the opposition very cheaply. In the latest match, they won by 138 runs against Maldives. In the match before that Nepal beat Mongolia by 273 runs. The other teams need to improve themselves in order to compete with Nepal. However, I am interested to see how Nepal will play against the stronger India, Pakistan and Srilanka teams. Are they the new emerging Asian Team? |

Answering your question about the security measures in casino later after what happened I believe there is a better routines and measures because we didn’t hear similar incidents after that, still just what I know since I don’t live in USA, and if I were in charge of a casino security surely there few things I would like to do from prohibiting guns or any arms near the facility and also doing the best to calm anger cases between gamblers and control situations where I believe the gambler may do something bad especially on a big loss.
It depends from situation to situation and if there is a security risk, then the casino owner should hire full fledged security inside and outside the casino to avoid such incidents. Just like we always see a security guard outside the banks, since gamblers bring in and take out money from the casino, the security arrangements are very necessary. However, this applies to the physical casino. For online casinos, the security should be in a sense that no hacker can hack the site and the site should have all the measures to prevent brute force and other attacks. |

After losing the ODI series in South Africa surely New Zealand will now plan for the T20 series and I believe New Zealand will not lose the T20 series.
Well, we should know that South Africa women's team lost today's match because at the back of mind they knew that they had won the series and even if they lost this match, it would have no impact. If this was a series decider, the South African women's team approach would be much different toward this match. So SA women's team is more stronger and they have more chances of winning the T20 series as well. The first match of every series is very important, if you can do well in the first match then it is very easy to do well in the next matches so hopefully New Zealand will try to win the first match.
Again this is not the right logic. How many times we have seen teams losing the first match of the series but still coming back and winning the series? Yes, you do get an advantage by winning the first match of the series but nothing is certain as to who can win the series. |

I'm expecting this restriction to happened to me since casino will surely doesn't allowed anyone consistently winning. I view this punishment as compliment since it's very rare to defeat a casino.
This is the first time i am hearing that anyone is being restricted to get a bonus etc because he is a consistent winner on the site. That's really strange. I know you have hidden the site name but even if you told the name, it would be better for the community to know which site takes such a step. Can you tell, which games you play mostly and how you win often? Any strategies which can be helpful for us too so that we also become consistent winners and get such an email from the casino  |

New Zealand Women's batsmen are batting with responsibility. The target is not too high. The New Zealand women's team will easily win this match if they can survive at the crease.
Opener Suzie Bates returned to the fold with just 9 runs off 25 balls. But Amelia Kerr is batting very well in today's match. He scored 30 runs off 37 balls unbeaten. The New Zealand women's team collected 54 runs in 11 overs. 156 runs in 34 overs will not be a difficult task unless the team loses wickets very quickly. However, it is very difficult to make predictions about women's cricket matches. The performance of almost all teams in women's cricket is very erratic.
Well, it seems thar New Zealand women team is keen to win this one day match to have a positive end to the series. They need almost 90 more runs in the remaining 18 overs and this is indeed very much possible. The required run rate is only 4.85 and with 7 wickets in hand, there is no way that New Zealand can lose this match. Well, if you were betting on the match, you would have chosen South Africa women's team as they have won the first two matches. But you will lose the bet today as New Zealand may win. I usually bet on the weak team if the series results have already been declared and the current match results are no longer important. |

The moment i read the Subject of this thread "Stake Balance Glitch" , I rushed to open my stake account and found there is nothing wrong with my balance and it is only OP who is facing this issue. I hope you can show some evidence that what you are saying is credible somehow, and have you contacted their support about this problem you are facing with their casino gambling platform? if you have replied? What did they tell you about the problems you told them anyway?
Yes, the OP should come up with all the proofs including screenshot of the deposits and withdrawals. He can give us the screenshots for the withdrawals ( https://stake.com/transactions/withdrawals) and bets ( https://stake.com/transactions/bets) and all others that he thinks will prove him right. Since he is not replying anymore, i guess he lost his balance in gambling and now wants to get it back somehow. |

Rain has continuously affected matches since the Asia Cup. Although these are warm-up matches, rain is still spoiling the mood of the World Cup.
Let's hope these rain spells will be over, and we will see a complete 100-over game in the World Cup.
Any of my friends from India please tell us about the weather forecast in India for the next couple of months.
One more thing which annoyed me today is that there is no warm up match scheduled for today. Why ? Today is Sunday, a holiday in most parts of the world and people would be free today and would be wanting to see some live cricket in action, but the schedule is no match on this Sunday, making it a bit boring day. Still can't figure out the reason for this |

@noormcs5, You are allowed to make prediction all at once but I just made changes in the rules just to gives extra benefits to the those who active here and like to predict after toss before match started. This is optional and anybody can make all prediction at once so don't worry, I will count your whole warmup matches prediction in one post.
Thank you for this. Extra benefits mean that If any low rank team play with higher rank, I will gives double points chance for predicting low rank team.
This will be interesting as if you give more points on betting on an underdog team, it will still be risky to choose that team as more chances are that the strong team will win. But if we are low on points, we can choose a less favorable team in the hope there is an upset and we get more winning prediction points  |

Netherlands will definitely lose this match because they are 84 for 6 wickets down already but this does not mean that everything is good for the Australians. They need to look back on this match and see what were their mistakes and why they lost so many wickets when the opposition was not so strong team.
There is nothing to say anything about the Netherlands batting performance today. Only Colin Ackermann is playing at 33 and the rest of the team was not even able to enter the 2-digit figures. Mitchell Starc bowled three batsmen out and none of them scored even a single run.
The match ended without any result. Netherlands is no way a team that can beat Australia in ODI contest. Netherlands have lost this game if its evaluated by DLS Method. There were only two Netherlands batsmen that were able to make it to double figures i.e. Colin Ackermann and Scott Edwards. From this performance it looks very clear that Netherlands is there to give 2 points to every team. I am just getting frustrated by these rain-affected matches. Think for a moment that it was not a warm-up but a real match. Australia were 100% winning it and got the two points but the rain interruption let them get only one point. This could have a serious impact on the final top 4 teams to qualify for the finals. If there are matches with such results in this World Cup, then teams will not only need to perform well on the ground but also need to have a bit of luck with the weather in order to gain match points. |

If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.
But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?
We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.
Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?
I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.
This can be the other way round too. For example, you heard that gambling is profitable and you decided to gamble the first time and you lost. You did not lose heart and decided to give more tries until you eventually won. The difference between your example and mine example is that once anyone wins in gambling, he wants to win more and hence he continues gambling until it becomes a habit. Similarly if anyone loses in gambling, he still continues (with a broken heart), to recover his loses and this also make him a gambling addict in the long run. |

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.
"Telling" them isn't going to do anything. They're humans, they have wants, and needs together with responsibilities. Now if no one actually educates them to understand that those come together in a bundle, it's rather inevitable that they're going to do something wrong. There's a world difference between telling them these things vs letting them understand. The most effective way really is to have a family that can support them and educate them, but not all households are like that so other than that, there's nothing really. A being is shaped by their surroundings early on, and even if we do say they can filter out what they can and shouldn't take, by the time they understand such logic it might've been a tad bit too late. I understand that guiding them may not have much effect on the addicted gamblers. Instead, those who are violent and aggressive may start teaching you the importance of gambling in a manner that you may feel insulted. However, this should not mean that we refrain from guiding them only because we fear their reaction or they won't change. Even if by our teaching, 2-5% of gamblers change their habit, it will be good for them and also fulfil the purpose of spreading better practices in our society. If we do not care for our near and dear ones (the ones involved in excessive gambling), then who may look after them  |

Now Member are allowed to predict two times. First one should be before toss and second before match start. Do we need to make both predictions in same post or different? Honestly, I dislike this update, previously it was better for predictors and for you also. Now, predictors are required to stay online before match starts, yea they can predict beforehand, but then they will be at disadvantage against people who stay online and know the lineup. I suggested OP this (below) I see people making predictions for today's match before the start of the matches. Sometimes it is not possible to make the prediction before the start of the match due to a busy schedule, so is it possible that we can make predictions of a few or all of the warm up matches at once?
but he did not respond on it yet but instead made changes in the rules which makes it even more harder for the people to remain online before the match start. That practically not possible for me at least and this means that I will be missing many predictions. Also here are people from different time zones. Some may be at jobs while other may be sleeping, so allow us to predict at any time / day before the match and even predict for future matches at once. |

Anyway Australian side scored 166 in lose of 7 wickets which is quite surprising because they have strong agianst Netherlands weak bowling but still they lose huge number of wickets which mean we should not underestimate Netherlands bowling too. Hope Australia will recover and won this starting match
Netherlands will definitely lose this match because they are 84 for 6 wickets down already but this does not mean that everything is good for the Australians.

Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.
Governments have been concerned regards gambling practice on their territories since a long time, with many of them completely banning the activity from their areas, while others are more concerned about it only now, due to the fast spread internet and cryptocurrency have proportionated to the industry. The worries are caused by religious beliefs, income evasion to foreigner companies and potential damage to the health and financial life of the citizens involved in gambling. There is a consensus nowadays gambling has to be practiced with limits and ethics, and those who don't follow these basic guidelines are completely out of the game. But then all this misuse of the money and the damage to the country's finances is only limited to the gamblers only? Can't the traders or anyone using the crypto can do money laundering and other illegal movement of the money? I don't think that gambling damages the countries as a whole but yeah when it comes to the individual level, if can ruin your life if you are not a responsible gambler and gambling without any plan to save your capital. Only the experienced gamblers will save themselves through risk management while the rest of the gamblers will only lose money in the long term. |

I don't think that Limiting the match to 23 overs will give an advantage to the Netherlands team and Netherlands will be able to beat Australia even in a 23 over match, because Australia is a very strong team compared to Netherlands. If seen in less overs, Australia's batting side is very strong which can beat Netherlands easily by making a big score.However, in cricket sometimes that happens, and a weak team can beat a well-rounded team.
One may win once due to luck, but due to performance your chances of winning are always higher. The match has started and Australia have scored 31 runs for the loss of one wicket in 5.2 overs. Steve Smith and Alex Carey are at the crease.
Well, surprisingly Australia hasn't been able to freely score in the match till now and scored 114 runs in the 16th over with 4 wickets down. This score seems a bit on the low side considering this is a strong Australian side and the opposition is one the weakest teams (at least on the paper). Steven Smith scored 55 runs is the highest among the Australian team. I really didn't expect to see scores like Josh Inglis (0), Glenn Maxwell (5), Alex Carey (28) runs. If it was any strong opposition i would rekon they would have won against this Australian batting failure today. |
