1861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: September 26, 2023, 04:25:02 AM
Personally I don't use chatgpt for sports prediction because I think most of the predictions AI would give will be as a result of cumulative statistics it has gotten from the history of the sporting events, so more often than non AI predictions are usually statistics based as AI do not watch games but get information from statistics provided by sites and analyst on the media.

Depending upon Chat GPT for making the sports predictions is totally wrong. The ChatGPT cannot predict correctly based on the changes in the current ground realities like some key player may get injured or there is a change of weather that may have an impact on a particular sport like cricket.

However, while making a bet, you would like to have some history and stats about the previous matches and the players. Let's suppose you are betting on who will win the football world cup but before that you need to see some of the stats of the previous world cup. In that case, in instead of google, chatGPT may become a very handy tool that can give you information within minutes or seconds.

I would prefer combination of chatGPT plus my own analysis for placing the sports bets.
1862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: September 25, 2023, 05:58:52 PM
yes.. indeed, addiction to gambling can be influenced by our own views on gambling, because when we talk about gambling as "fun" then we will be normal when gambling, but things are different when we think that when gambling is for a profit, where in the end we will lose control and continue to chase victory.

Most of the gamblers say that they are playing gambling for fun but in reality, their focus is to make money. When your aim is to get money from gambling, that's where the problem starts. You start to think differently. On every loss, we (the gambler who is addict) become more aggressive and put more money to recover the loses.



Always losing control is why they cannot prevent themselves from continuing to gamble and one of the consequences of this behavior is not only becoming addicted or losing money but also if the gambler is too crazy about gambling he will lose his family because a family does not want to have family members who has a very serious gambling addiction and I once found an addict like this in my city when he was gambling online I asked him where he came from and he answered which surprised me that he came from far from my city and he chose to leave because his family had kicked him out because he often stole money to gamble.
Maybe this is one of the craziness of gambling addicts and I think several people have also told stories like this.

The gambling is like the drug to the addict,they can live without their wife and family.But they never live the life without their gambling involvement,this way the gambler was became the gambling addict from the gambler position.The gambler may act like the animal in their family after losing some money in the gambling.If they person doesn’t have a capacity to balance the money loss,they can use the other game to entertain themself.Some gambler will loss their family after the rude action in the family by the gambling loss.

There are gamblers who gamble with common sense they are not addicted to the gambling and therefore they are not trouble some for the families and friends.

It is only those gamblers who are addicted , become annoying for their families, use excessive money and even their mood and their way of life becomes extremely disturbed cause of the gambling addiction.


1863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: September 25, 2023, 05:26:01 PM
I think it's a better way to do it, because being a citizen comes with responsibilities, like voting.

Yes, voting is the responsibility of the whole nation but here we are talking about the betting on the USA Elections. Voting is totally different from betting. Usually, only the citizens of that country are allowed to vote, where the elections are held but people all around the world can bet on the result of the elections on online betting sites (that offer these bets on votes).

Being not a citizen of USA, i would prefer the candidate for the USA presidency to be crypto friendly and I will bet on that party that I think will make policies for crypto adoption.

Is the 200 million customers’ money? Are people serious about saving all this service?

That surprises me that people are using this Mixin Safe to store their cryptocurrencies and 200 million is not a small amount.


How does "we're hacked, you can't withdraw" reduce worries?
It will not eliminate worry, but people can know what is happening instead of remaining in the dark.

It is a usual thing that if any exchange/wallet is hacked, they may immediately block the withdrawal services to prevent further loss or people trying to withdraw everything that is left.

However, this is not an exchange and i thought this is a decentralized wallet and hence there should be practically no chance of hacking the funds/wallets unless the private keys of the wallets are stored with them.
1865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 25, 2023, 04:34:05 PM
Everyone stay away from gambling game then you all will be happy and happy Gambling game is very bad which will harm your family a lot and will also harm your life like my father gambling ruined my father's life and also my future is dark now I am now  I came back to this bitcoin to find light in my life in this darkness you all help me shine.

The gamblers should already know that gambling is a risky game and whoever is gambling, is doing it at its own risk. Those gamblers who play gambling only to make money and have no knowledge that they can lose big money in it too, should stop or at least learn the basis of gambling.

Experienced people know how to manage risk in gambling by not exposing too much of their capital in the games and also they have money management techniques so that the money lost through the games does not affect the total capital they have allocated for the gambling.

For most people, who want to earn big money from gambling, usually end up in losing money.

Here are final standings of Asian Games Women's Cricket Competition:

India - Gold
Srilanka - Silver
Bangladesh - Bronze

After there men team winning Asia cup now its Indian women showing there dominance in Asia. Indian women gave a target of 116 runs batting first. In reply SL were only able to score 97 runs in there 20 overs quota. For 3rd position match, Bangladeshi women easily won there match against Pakistan.  

Indian women's team is far superior to all the women's Asian cricket team and it was obvious that they will win the final. Although I think that the Srilankan women's really bowled well to restrict India to only 116 runs, but they batted poorly. At 14 runs, the Srilanka team had lost three wickets and none of the batsmen showed to resist the Indian bowlers.

Titas Sadhu took three wickets and gave only 6 runs in her four overs, That was a game changing bowling by her. Rajeshwari Gayakwad also took two wickets and Indian bowlers managed to defend this small total.
The low scoring could've been a pressure for India Women team, but Titas Sadhu gave the relaxation taking three important wickets. The young girl Titas Sadhu had her debut against Bangladesh Women and it is her second match. Being the game changer in the very second match and being a reason to win gold medal is a big achievement. Sri Lanka Women team is short of 19 runs, maybe if the early partnership weren't broken match might've gone in favour of Sri Lanka Women.

Srilanka women's team should not lose hope from the result of this final. They played well and lost by fighting hard. This was not one of those one sided matches.

We had a one-sided 3rd place play off match, where the Pakistan team only managed to score 69 runs in 20 overs and the Bangladesh women's team chased it easily.

I must say that Asian women's cricket teams need a lot of maturity and practice in order to become better team and challenge the stronger teams of England and Australia Women's teams.
1867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [WARNING] Crypto casino scam on teh move again. on: September 25, 2023, 03:46:05 PM
general rule: if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Unfortunately these scams continue to run because people believe that it is easy to get rich at the expense of others and they think that there are actually people on the internet who want to provide you with opportunities to get rich.

this discussion/warning, although it is connected to the gambling sector, I believe it should be included on scam accusations board.

If you get deals from an unknown person, then this is the first sign that you may get scammed. If the deal is so lucrative that you feel that it is easy money for you, then there are more chances that you will get scammed.

For sure, if anyone asks you to give us money so he can gamble and share profits, we will refuse instantly but gamblers always come up with new ways to scam us. This is a more advanced technique where the scammer has his own gambling site and whatever we deposit on that site actually becomes the property of the scammer.

Now the big question is how can we save ourselves from these scams.
The first is that we should not be greedy. This way, we can avoid many of such scammers attempt offering us easy money.

1869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 25, 2023, 02:04:13 PM
The loss was our loss, and we did not pay the taxes. And even if we win, we might just pay winnings tax to the casino. But using a credit card to gamble is not recommended because it is as if we are using borrowed money and have to pay it back on time. Otherwise, we will experience problems, and we may have to give something to the credit card company to pay off the money.

But to pay taxes on our gambling, it seems it depends on where we live because some countries will not ask for tax money on gambling, but countries will ask us to pay for other things. And it will depend on the policies of each country.
That sounds better than if we will pay some taxes in each bets that we placed no matter if they are a win or a loss. But if we win, we are going to pay a little bigger for the tax again. When it comes to payment methods to play gambling, indeed that using a credit card as a way to place bets are not good idea because apart from your stated reason, it can also tempt us to borrow more money and become move divested once we also lose them.

Maybe it's true that tax obligations in gambling can depend on the country that we are living because I'm not asked yet about it. But it can also depend on the game because lottery winners here are being charged by a tax and the amount is huge.

It's better if we do not have to pay taxes at all; it would be fair for gamblers that way since casinos are the ones making money. The government can seem too greedy when they tax everything. You see, if a casino wins, they will need to file income tax, and if we win, we are going to file income tax, so the government makes money both ways.

The government usually does not care, if you are making money or the casino is making money. They are only concerned with the taxes.
This means that if you are making a significant amount in gambling, you will have to pay the taxes. The casino is making money and they will separately pay the taxes.

However, the gamblers who are doing online gambling using crypto, sometimes do not declare anything to the government and the government also cannot figure out if they are making money through gambling, so they save their tax but still, it is risky as if they got caught could face legal consequences.

Nobody has abandoned this thread.
But it really looks like you have abandoned this thread as the way you are bumping this now. Your posting quality and replies were better in the past. You are bumping this thread without any valuable content now. Post some big wins screenshot and make promotional announcements occasionally to make the thread alive. BTW, there is no promotion at Punt.com. When the 'challenges' will be available?

If gamblers do not ask anything here or they have nothing to discuss about this casino, then the OP have no option but to bump the thread. However, he should think about why other gambling ANN threads are always active and there is no activity on this thread.

One reason which comes to my mind is that fewer people are playing on this platform and hence they do not discuss anything here. Also, Punt needs to have some sort of marketing campaign / Signature campaign in order to attract the gamblers. The competition between the gambling sites is quite high and hence they need to have some budget for marketing purposes.
1871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage your money on gambling sites. on: September 24, 2023, 01:46:10 PM
Most of the time it's laziness.  People do the same thing in keeping theor crypto on trading exchanges its the same thing
  The beauty of crypto is that you can send it to a wallet where only you control it with no one else with access (to include banks).  It's a shame people don't use crypto how it was intended to be used.

If managing money means where to keep our crypto, then for sure, gambling sites or trading sites are not the ones where we should store our crypto. We can move our crypto to these sites to gamble or trade but as soon as we get the profit, its time to move them back to our wallets.

I usually tell my friends that once you go to the shop and buy something, you bring that thing home. So when we get some profits/coins from gambling sites, why we are happy to keep them there?

In case of any mishap/hack/scam, all that money stored in the centralized exchanges is gone and they are not our money as long as they are on their platform.

Another example of Batriarchy domination over Bowlsheviks.  Grin

The way Indians are going today, a mammoth total is definitely on the cards. Australia would be very lucky if they could restrict India under 350. If by any chance India gets out under 300 then shame on them as this pitch looks like a belter. Aussie batter will enjoy their batting as well.

After losing Ruturaj Gaikwad at 8 runs, there is no turn back by the Indians. They have scored 173 runs with only 1 wicket down and still counting.

Australia is considered as one of the best cricket teams and if they are being punished the way right now (looking helpless), What will be the fate of other teams playing in the World Cup against India?  Who can stop India from winning this World Cup ?
1873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: September 24, 2023, 09:15:12 AM
It's up to the gambler if how will he decide on the opportunity that is given in front of him, considering that he found a loophole or weakness to the system. But we certainly cannot really say that every gambler will just turn a blind eye and just do the game fair and square because every gambler is different and there will be always that others that will take advantage of every hint just to get strong chances that will in turn make money for them. In the long run, it won't give them benefits but who cares, for them, it's a now or never world.

First of all, there is hardly any loophole to be found in the gambling games, because if there is a loophole and even if you are honest and do not exploit it, there may be many who won't let go of the free money and they will try to make as much money as possible.

Now coming to the fact, that why gamblers will try to cheat and not be honest? Well, the answer is simple, most of the gambling sites also exploit the gamblers by giving them high and tough wagering requirements. They don't show pity on gamblers no matter how much a gambler loses, so when the gambler gets his chance, why does he care for the casino:Smiley

This schedule does not contain the warm up matches for the World Cup. The World Cup will kick off with the warm up match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on 29th September. There will be a total of 10 warm up matches. Each team will play two matches each before the start of the WC.

I do not know if the sports betting sites will allow the betting on the warm up matches too ?

In today's match, India women's team defeated Bangladesh and qualified for the final match

In the other Semi final, the Pakistan women team scored only 79 runs. This was a poor display of batting by the Pakistan girls. Shawaal Zulfiqar made 16 runs and that was the highest score for the Pakistan team. Udeshika Prabodhani took 3 wickets and Kavisha Dilhari took 2 wickets, the bowlers destroyed their bating completely.

Srilanka women should easily win this semi final unless we see another batting collapse which I don't think will happen. They had already scored 24 runs and lost the wicket of their captain Chamari Athapaththu.
1876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 24, 2023, 05:34:17 AM
but they way Ireland played is quit impressive and have ability to bounce back in last match.

I really like the way they tried to chase this big score of 334 runs and were short only by 48 runs. Being the underdog team, this batting performance was too good for me. Although none of the players scored a 50 in this match from Ireland but the good thing is that everyone contributed to reach close to 300 runs. Players who came down the innings like George Dockrell , Barry McCarthy and Craig Young , all contributed good 40+ runs and helped their team reach close to the target given by the England team.

Remember the first ODI was abandoned by rain, this one England won. I hope to see another thrilling ODI between the two teams on 26 September at Bristol.

A few good knocks from the tailenders and lower order doesn't take away the fact that Irish top and middle order is out of form. I don't even remember when was the last time their star batsmen like Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling scored runs. Even the younger players such as Harry Tector and Curtis Campher are also out of form. Lorcan Tucker was performing well in the CPL, but he failed during yesterday's match. All Ireland got was a decent total in the end, thanks to Barry McCarthy, Craig Young and Josh Little towards the end. 


Anyways, the lower and the middle order did play well. It was not that they hit one or two boundaries and got out. They really stayed on the crease and made some useful runs in the context of the game, otherwise 286 runs by the Irish team were not possible.



Today, i am waiting for the 2nd ODI between India and Australia. The first ODI won by India have given bookmakers more confidence in them and this time the odds show that bookmakers have more confidence In India team.



Remember, in the first ODI the odds were almost equal between the two teams.
Believe me or not, even the bookies aren't sure who will win today's match. The odds are pretty equal for both teams.

I have been watching the score for this series on cricinfo but could not find these matches live coverage on any TV Channel.

Can you tell on which TV channel you are viewing this series?

I have been watching the Caribbean Premier League on Fancode App, which is covering the matches live in India. Apart from Fancode, Star Sports is telecasting the matches live on TV within India.


I usually have access to all the sports channels as i use IPTV to watch the matches. So which channel of Star Sports is telecasting this series (Star Sports 1, 2, 3, 4 or Star Sports Hindi) ?

Bangladesh bowled out for 52 after 17.5 overs. This is going to be another cakewalk for India. Nigar Sultana, with her 12 was the only batter to score in double digits. The Indian bowlers were exceptional. Pooja Vastrakar got 4 wickets, while Titas Sadhu was exceptional in her opening spell. In around 3 hours from now, the second semi-final will be played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

If Pakistan could win the 2nd Sermi-Final, then we will have another India Pakistan final. No matter who win from the 2nd semi final, i think that India women team is too strong for all the other teams in the series. Also, remember that three of the four quarterfinals were washed out and only Srilanka won the Quarterfinal againist thailand women.

Its potentially true in every country, gambling is often vital revenue to the government.

Are you sure that all the gambling casinos would pay taxes to the government? I highly doubt that.

Yeah in countries, where the casinos are being operated physically, they will have to declare their profits and give taxes but what about those online virtual casinos which may be hosted on remote servers and no one knows from where they are operated and no one could take action against those casinos.

The regulations with online casinos are still very relaxed and many casinos operate without giving any shares to the government agencies.

Anyone following the Caribbean Premier League? Final match will be played tomorrow, between Trinbago Knight Riders and Guyana Amazon Warriors. TKR have heavyweights such as Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Martin Guptill playing for them. Guyana is mostly dependent on Dwaine Pretorius for bowling and Shai Hope for batting. Both the champions and runners up from last year's tournament failed to qualify for the final this time (Jamaica Tallawahs and Barbados Royals respectively).

I have been watching the score for this series on cricinfo but could not find these matches live coverage on any TV Channel.

Today we have the two semi finals for the Asian Games Women's Cricket Competition. The first one is already in progress where Bangladesh are struggling with 7 wickets down and the score is only 34 runs. India will surely win this Semi-final.

Thanks for sharing the information. This would help many gamblers stay on the safer side. When it comes to money we never think about the after effects. We just agree and go for it without a second thought. This will be a learning and surely if someone receive any such pm regarding profit sharing one can stay out of it. Once we get into money laundering or any such problems, it is really hard and we can't prove that it doesn't belong to us or we haven't involved in it.

One thing which make us accept such deal is greediness. Of course when we accept the deal, it is either we get money either in profit sharing form or a fixed amount and the offer is so lucrative that it is hard to ignore. Another human sociology is that when accepting such deal our heart says that there would not bad associated with the deal and everything will fair and we may earn some easy bucks.

However, the sad realty is what the OP experienced. We need to be careful indeed and not indulge ourselves in undue problems.
