Sri Lanka has been through a lot in recent times. I believe it will take a little time for them to get everything fixed. So the domestic setup is going to take a little time to be fixed. I did not expect too much in the test format from Sri Lanka. Especially because they are going against New Zealand.
Sri Lanka doesn't have a proper domestic setup. Instead of a first class structure where different regional sides compete, they have a competition between the Colombo-based clubs. There is hardly any cricket structure outside the capital city, although there are some very beautiful international cricket stadiums in some of the outer cities such as Galle and Dambulla. Even establishing franchises for the Lanka Premier League outside Colombo hasn't helped much. After the LPL, domestic cricket just moves back to the capital city.
This is big disadvantage to them even they have population near to Australia and three time greater than New Zealand, but they are not able to have good domestic cricketing set up which can give them good revenue and good players as well now they are improving their domestic things even right now situation is completely near the disaster but still they can do better things in sports which can give them good sponsorships with they are one of the best tourist destination for millions of tourists.

Recently they have good thing with having few good new cricket grounds which are helping them for having good increase in their fan base and improving cricket structure I remember few years back we have all games in Colombo but now Hambantuta, Galle, Dambulla and Kandy are also doing good for the cricket fans.

It's amusing hearing Manchester United fans share their hopes and dreams of winning a quadruple this season lol, Erik Ten Hag has done so well to revert Manchester United's poor and hopeless season to something much better and have a trophy already won this season. Their match against Sevilla will be interesting even though Sevilla is not so good at the moment but if they can hold United's attack down then it will be easy for them to get a good result.
Things looking impressive after the International break and Ten Haq is surely doing good job with they already won their first trophy and now having good time in UEFA Cup and The FA Cup with most chances they will be stayed at third in Premier League with this all I have feeling most chances they will be able to own one more trophy, and they have no chance in Premier League which mean quadruple is not possible but double or treble both are under their radar and things can take good change for their success in coming weeks as well.

Sevilla is having good reputation and history in UEFA Cup with in current season they are doing worst in La Liga but still their performance in Europa Cup is impressive which is surely giving them some hopes for having better results against Manchester United even this is not easy game with Manchester United having impressive performance against Barcelona and Real Betis which are doing much better the Sevilla.

I think PSL has been on a successful track and every year the tournament gains more popularity. However, the Pakistan cricket board should focus on getting more International players in PSL. We have seen limited numbers of International players and that is the reason PSL lack behind the IPL.

If PCB can manage to attract more International players, I am sure the league will become even more popular, however, they need to have enough money in order to do so.
There is no doubt every year things going into positive way for the PCB and PSL because viewership is increasing with media rights are also getting good increase but keep one thing in mind PSL or any other league never been going to compete with IPL because this is having one off the biggest cricket market in the world like EPL of England they are having much better viewership and other things which are helping them for ruling into cricket world with this all every league having its own benefits and negative points.

So, I have feeling like comparing them with each other is never been ideal things but still good now we have few good leagues which are helping cricket and players for having good experience and money as well in next few years if we have things better in this region then surely we will have good increase in revenue and other aspects of these few leagues which are currently small and have not enough fan base as well.

Bringing International players is not in PCB hand because it's their own choice which is not in control of anyone but still we have the good number of players those are enjoying here and many after giving their best here joining IPL on high prices as well.

This is the first WWE thread I have seen in the forum but I believe others are there in the Gambling Discussion Board. I was also wondering why people are interested to watch a match that is not real. I just thought that many people are going there for fund and others might be there to while their time. Well some of them also addicted so they just create WWE fun process to gambling ground.
If I remember, there was another WWE thread here before but it was now buried alive because it was not bumped actively. I think that's one obvious reason that many people are lacking an interest on it. MMA threads, boxing and the likes are more active than it, I think it's because it was a real one and people find it more thrilling and entertaining.

The same thing is experienced when it comes to betting. They can also ensure that their bets are more likely to win, as long as they have done some deep analysis. I think WWE is only a brand name and the entertainment in its name, does not indicate that it was staged although the show itself is. Many kids are still entertained on it.

1xbit has a bad reputation for a reason. They have a lot of unsolved cases and it's clear that they can't be trusted. Yes, they've made announcements before about fixing their issues, but nothing ever came of it. Whether 1xbit1.com is part of the "new management" or not makes no difference. They should never be trusted again.

It's unfortunate that some people still fall for their marketing tactics.
You are probably right that it doesn't really matter if OP has tried to use a tactic to scam people by using the name of an actual scam casino because, at the end of the day, both OP and the actual representatives of 1xbit both are involved in unethical activities and should totally be ignored by everyone to avoid getting into trouble.

I think it will be much better if the original 1xbit representatives of the forum try to resolve the issues of those who got scammed by the casino instead of coming in here and trying to get themselves clean and not involved in something bad because what they've done in the past is already bad in itself.

For a fact Bayern Munich knows that the UEFA Champions League is a more important trophy than the Bundesliga and they'll be fight with their last strength to make sure they lift club football's biggest trophy at the end of the season

But I don't think quest to win the Champions League will make the Bayern team to forfeit their their dominance of the Bundesliga. Bayern are the raining champions and would do anything possible to retain the title. The fact that they lost to Bayern Leverkusen shouldn't be a reason to think that they are not interested in the league title.
This is better point by you Bayern Munich will be never forfeit this Bundesliga just because of this Champions League with one point lead is achievable, and they can do good in their remaining games as well with their chances in Champions League are also high Manchester City will in hot waters after having draw against team like Bayern Munich because they also well know how strong is this team and how can they do in their next games against them.

Bayern Munich is also surely facing some problems but still they are having enough players those can do better and win this game easily currently both Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund on same boat for their titles hopes but this all need good strategy and motivation from their players as well because this one team alone can destroy many dreams on his day in the game.
1807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: March 23, 2023, 06:23:39 AM
This is one of the main reasons why AI has been trending. AI is capable of predicting and answering questions related to almost anything. ChatGPT in particular can even answer homework for a student especially if it involves an essay. There's even recent news wherein GPT helped win a hackathon although I'm not sure if this is verified. AI can do so many things if you know well how to use it to your own advantage.

Although I don't really suggest using and relying solely on AI because they can't guarantee a win despite how nice and convenient they are. I believe it should only be used as a basis but not entirely put your bet on the predicted result of AI because it could still turn out wrong and you can lose your money all at once with just a wrong decision.
Well, it is not a joke gaining over a million users within just 5 days, a lot of previously developed and very popular systems and applications had taken way more time than that, and ChatGPT did it in a whooping 5 days. I understand that at the time of other developments, advertising or spreading the word about something wasn't as easy as it is today, but it is still a record.

So yes, the popularity of ChatGPT is because it is useful for almost everyone doing anything in any corner of the world. I know it is not capable of doing a few things like predicting future outcomes as we are discussing, and some other things, and, think of how much more powerful could it be if its training data wasn't limited up until 2021.

Actually it is not a big or small team problem and many players in big teams take part in many matches because that is not a logical reason.
In every match or match that takes place there will always be a pause for each team to rest before playing again in the next match so there is no word tired except for an injury that makes sense because no one knows who will be injured and how bad it will be so he cannot participate compete.
The playing stamina of each team does affect the outcome of the match, but it will be difficult for a small team to win a big team just because they excel in the stamina of their players.
Precisely players in big teams who often compete will benefit because they can continue to learn how to play well in every match that takes place.
I disagree, not because there is a rest, but because overall amount of games you played matters a lot during a whole year. If one team has players that played on average 40 games, and the other team has players average over 60 games, that 20 game difference will make the resting mute point because no matter how much you rest them, the players will have some carry over fatigue for sure.

Look at Manchester City and then look at some team like Bournemouth for example, their players did not play the same amount of games, not even close, even if we just ignore the fact that City players played in world cup, we could always look at just fa cup + league + ucl together, which makes it 2 games per week for months and months, whereas others have like one game per week for months, that makes a difference without a doubt.

It's true to read rules of events like free spins before joining it. If you see rules are not attractively good enough or contains some requirements you don't like because you see it violates your privacy, simply ignore those events.
Right if you are not comfortable with the rules then don't participate at all in them because after that you won't have any excuses and we are not forced to do anything.Like for KYC if we are comfortable with it we can proceed further and if not then we have choices also so choose accordingly.
people always complain about KYC even though if they want they can just choose another casino that maintains their privacy, after all there is no compulsion to play at a casino that asks for KYC, everyone has a choice so before playing don't continue if you really don't like the existing rules including KYC .
This has been clear from the starting that they are enforcing KYC for their casino players but if you are not comfortable then find some other options available to you.I am small gambler so not to much trouble to withdraw huge funds and not too much documents needed in my case.
I think KYC is not really a small time thing in the crypto world anymore. Almost everyone gets asked KYC whatever they do, at this point DeFi projects may start asking for KYC lol, it's literally as common as anything in the crypto world.

This is why I wouldn't be shocked about anything potentially close to it in the casino world as well. It's easier to just give it as soon as possible and then you are going to end up doing a lot better, I personally feel a lot better when I do it first, and then I can continue without a trouble. Because if I don't, and face it later on then it could be due to a problem and I would not want to face that.

Binance listing is really useless if there will be no changes on current utility of BFG. BFG is very dry which holders is just relying for the team to have a buy back using part of the casino profit while there’s no transparent report on much casino made to verify the cut for BFG holders share.

I’m holding BFG tokens but not that much. I don’t expect any explosive price pump on this token even if it’s listed on Binance if the team keeps using BFG tokens for their partnership and marketing because they are the one who unload first their token before everyone can.
I think the utility is good enough, the purpose of BFG is obvious and this is exactly why they created it and it is doing its job. I agree that there is a thing they need to do before Binance listing would make sense, which we all know they can2t be listed just yet and all of these discussions are just "for fun" but that thing is not utility, that thing is marketing.

They can do marketing just for the casino itself and still get a lot more in return for the token as well, or could just directly do marketing for the token because without marketing we do not have proper volume, we need to have at least 10x more volume to deserve to be in binance right now.
There are really people who can't appreciate some things but if they do, they better abandon the project before it gets worse and more complaints are going to be thrown or they must not invest on it at the first place. There are so many good coins on the market anyway and not just this or other similar casino tokens whose use are mostly the same i.e to earn dividends.

To be honest I am also not impressed on this. To me this utility was too basic but we shouldn't expect too much for them because their primary business here is still a casino. It would be better if they will only market their casino since you said their token can still benefit with it.

If u say the that Chalsea needs a good coach that can help blend those players into the square,  I completely accept. But speaking about chelsea signings not being high class players is what I try don't understand.
Even in clubs like PSG,  there is no complete balance between the three high class players which they signed,  reason because the coach isn't good enough to manage a team of such stars. A player can't be world-class on his on, it takes a good coach and a blended tam to produce it. Chelsea has world class players which are not seen due some conditions.
After watching two top ranked European clubs this seasons results no one can dare to go against your statement about this all here if you are spending millions of USD for having quality players and not have good coach your all investment is going into drain without any problem because this is the most important decision for any club how to handle this all Chelsea invested good amount.

But sadly just sacking of Thomas Tuchel on wrong time bring them down badly with worst results for end of this season is waiting for them as Graham Potter completely fail to handle this all even he is not able to do transfers on right time in winning match as we watch in last game against Everton where they lost their win into draw in injury time due poor misjudgment from coach and his bad decisions in second half of this match.

The lack of consistency from some teams is frightening. Take Freiburg and Leipzig for example. Both failed to win their last games, although both had opponents they should have been beaten. They are lucky that the pursuers are not playing very well either and are not really a threat to them. That has been the case for a few weeks now. If they will not win the next games it will be hard to keep place 6 at least.
Frankfurt could come from behind and threaten Leipzig and Freiburg right now.  There is still a difference of 5 points between them, but that shouldn't give any comfort.  If Frankfurt wants to take part in the Champions league, it must at least finish in the top 4 places.  That's why I'm sure the champions league race will be more exciting.
There is no doubt about Champions League race is going to be toughest in this season with six teams are competing here but for them Frankfurt already lost their chance with lost of 10 points in last four games mean things are completely out of their hands now if they win their next three matches then still there is no chance for them to have top four spot because in next 26th round all top teams are going to have easy games which are going to be had no change in spots with just top and second seeded teams have match which will bring changes, but other four will be stayed at their current level which is big challenge now for them.

Leipzig are also having problems and lost their last two games form three which is also problem for them now they are also going to face Mainz which is also having good results in last few rounds.

On the next match week there will be a delightful match waiting for us. Napoli are going to host Milan in the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

I wish Milan were much better than now and we watched a solid match between them as a result. But now I'm lowering my expectations from this one a little bit. Because Napoli are already about to declare their league championship very soon. On the other hand Milan are 23 points away from them and fighting for a place in the Champions League. Even though Milan seem like they still have a goal in the league I don't see their chance much high here. Napoli already beat them once in San Siro and they can even destroy Milan by a bigger score home. Milan are still having defensive issues.
This is top ranked teams match but with the current form and quality I have not positive hopes for the visitors because in last few matches they are falling down badly even now if they lost against Napoli with these things could be from poor to worse because in case of defeat most chances they could be at sixth spot which is surely big problem for them Napoli is clearly doing impressive and now have chance for win, and even they can also go into final of the Champions League as well which could be impressive.

AC Milan after winning title last year not able to have few changes in their squad which is now having problems for them because injuries and bad performance of few players now having not ideal situation for them, hopefully things could be improved before they will have exit from top ranks in coming weeks here in this league.

All leagues are getting harder to predict because of fatigue. Even the best teams end up having more injured players, more players resting, or even if they are playing, they are tired. The best teams losing to lower level teams happens because of one simple reason; they play more games. Think about it, if you are a big club, then you play the league games, the cup games, the UCL games, and most of your players were in the world cup as well and didn't take a break.

So when you combine all of that together, a lower level team might be just in the league and nothing else at all, and they would be a lot more rested and that type of difference causes unexpected results.
1815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: March 21, 2023, 06:30:41 PM
I didn't get your point and question about it. Affiliate marketing is the most profitable business when it comes to casino affiliates. There are a lot of companies that were built and they only rely on the commission they get from casinos. Casino review websites like BTCgosu and cryptogamblingbros's main income come from affiliate commission. So, I don't know why you say it is waste of time.
Generally, you can call it a waste of time if you are not good at marketing affiliate links, and all you will do is only waste your time if you are not getting any action and playing referrals. We all know that affiliate marketing is one of the most profitable ways of earning money, it is also passive income as you don't really do anything except for the initial work, but it is not really easy to get referrals.

Only the best marketers, bloggers, YouTubers, influencers, and some of the normal people who are good at convincing others to join platforms and do stuff even if that involves investing money, they can earn good enough with referral bonuses.
1816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Random Number Generator and it's importance in Online Casinos on: March 21, 2023, 05:40:30 PM
In most cases, if you know you are on a reputable casino, you wouldn't ask anymore about its provable fairness.
But some players will test it from time to time, just to see if the casino is indeed honest about it.
But RNG and other provably-fair systems are just secondary if the casino already earned their credibility.
Normally, you can find such question to a new gambling site, just to test that they are indeed implementing the provable fairness.
And in some cases, there is surely a gambler that knows technically how to determine deeply the fairness of that site.

For sure, if they found something strange, they will question that said site.

Again as I mentioned, these reputable sites won't do some sh*t regarding the fairness of the game. That is something not make sense to do knowing how hard it is to gain people's trust and that it needs several years in making to make it happen.
A reputable platform will never compromise on its quality of service only to gain an advantage of a few bucks over a player as they see the wider picture and understand how crucial it is to maintain the trust and reputation among the community as a gambling platform's reputation is a very sensitive matter, if a small issue comes up, every user becomes cautious and start doubting the trustworthiness of the platform.

And, if we talk about a casino that is new and isn't so popular or has much of a reputation or trust from the community, they may manipulate bets and stuff to cheat their players. If they do so, a normal gambler wouldn't really notice but someone with a technical background would notice and start questioning the authenticity of the platform right away.

It's good, but the difference in strength between the two teams is obvious. You are a team like PSG and you shouldn't lose at home with this squad. If you lose even points at home in games like this, the fans get bored and blame you. You can't react to this blame because the fans are right. That's why it's natural for PSG to blame this failure on the team or on Galtier, the manager. A lot of money was spent on this team. An all-star squad has been built, but it's nothing. That's why the fans are angry and they want more. I would think the same thing, you have brought legendary players everywhere, you have money, you have the means, but there is no success. In the Champions League I expected them to reach the final but it didn't happen.
They can't capitalize on their advantage on everything, which is a bad thing in my opinion. Maybe this defeat doesn't affect them because they are still at the top of the standings with a pretty big point advantage. Actually I'm not too interested in fighting for the title in Ligue 1 but I would rather see how they are in the Champions League, but again and again they also fail for the umpteenth time in the Champions League. The Champions League is still too difficult for them to beat until now, they are still at a level that has not been able to achieve that success.
Failure in Champions League again and again is surely big problem for them now, but they are not working to fix this all with having too many big stars are also a problem in itself which needs to settle if they want to have something better in this event management spending huge funds which are surely good, but spending without any solid strategy is never been ideal now we have rumored many big stars are ready to leave this club after end of this season which is also good for them because with these things could be good for them, and they will be able to work on their talent hunt problem which is better than having ready-made stars which have personal ego's, and mostly they never love to work with other players on positive way which is hurting them.

In last few years, they spend too much if they use mind and spend this amount on their academies and have better players than surely things could be improved, and they are able to secure better results in the Champions League.

I have a wild suggestion after witnessing the grand success of this year's IPL. For this season, the viewership (both domestic and global), as well as revenues reached new records. Now Najam Sethi is planning to add two more teams to the competition. My suggestion is to add two teams from outside Pakistan. They can add one team each from Afghanistan and Nepal. These two are cricket crazy countries and it will transform PSL to an international competition. Rather than having franchise leagues based in each of the test nations, I think that it is much better to have a single league covering multiple countries.


There is no doubt now after 8 seasons things are looking better and revenue and other aspects are giving good positive sides, so I agreed with this suggestion here I want to add few more things currently Sri Lankan league is having some issues, so they can add two teams from there as well which will increase their fanbase and revenue as well with three or four countries leagues are regular in European countries, so they can also do things like this which will bring good changes in this region.

Even this all is not easy because right now situation is not good in Pakistan, and we have to wait for how things could be in next few weeks because political and economic problems are going at their highest level and many countries already give negative reply about help which was usual business in Pakistan for many years but now China and Saudi Arab are completely not near this so first just wait and watch how they will settle this all in near future.

Newbies in Bitcoining can surely learn a lot with your story OP but for us experienced Bitcoiners, we already know those because we have been on the same boat by the time we are just getting started. If let say you are more knowledgeable in Bitcoin, there are still scenarios that you can't avoid and there is still a chance that you will use/spend your Bitcoins.

This is something that we must not regret. If you want to know how much Bitcoin you have sold, you can always check your wallet history. If it doesn't have that option, you can try copying your receiving address and paste it in some Bitcoin block explorer like https://www.blockchain.com/explorer or https://blockchair.com/ . They should show the total Bitcoins that you have received in your wallet.

Casinos are just like every other business and at they will easily set the system to support only themselves and protect the interest of the casino's revenue generation is the primary aim of casinos so at that it will be better if we have the mindset of losing to the house but not all the time.
it is not easy to set a system in a casino business mate because this is full of important skills and knowledge to conduct , because if this is just like other business to set up then maybe half of us here are having a casino business now.
but what you have said is correct that only the generation of money is what they are concerned and just a bit for the players concern.
money will always be the main purpose as like what all business is.
What do you guys actually expect? Should casinos let themselves go bankrupt and out of business? They wouldn't do that, and to be honest, casinos don't hide the fact that they have an advantage over the players, they call it the house edge and almost every casino has it, for some, it is quite lower while for others it's higher. It also differs from every other game that you play in a casino.

So the house definitely has an edge over the gamblers, and almost every gambler understands this they still gamble because this isn't considered cheating if they are open about it as it is a part of the business.
