WTC point table update

Savior and the biggest entertainer of Test Cricket are in their usual 8th position. They cemented this position for some time now and this standing will remain the same for a couple of months because of no test cricket.

As of now, India and Australia seem favorite candidates for the Finals. Kiwis and Proteas might have some chance as well.

We have right now interesting stats in WTC era with three teams are dominating for the last few years and most chances we will have no chance from any other team to challenge them while things are going into their favour and English Bazball is also going to have big below in this Indian tour first two final are India, New Zealand and Australia with most chances we will have two teams from these for the next 2025 as well and as mentioned India having no chance again but hopefully now BCCI will try their best for shifting final because they also deserve this with huge fan base and many other factors like quality and consistency hopefully changes will be occurred.

For me Proteas are having no chance as their quality is badly down and their performance is also not as par requirement because their selection policy and internal issues are killing their cricket which was at his best few years back with better selection criteria.

PSV are having a really enormous season in the Eredivisie. However I don't believe they are strong enough to eliminate Dortmund in this round. Dortmund could have already won the first leg but PSV managed to get a draw. But this time I think Dortmund will finish the job in Germany. They should be able to show the quality gap in this game.

I know Dortmund aren't doing well in the Bundesliga. Their Champions League chance is in danger as they might finish out of top four as well. However their performance in the Champions League has been more impressive. Considering their group phase performance they should be able to get past PSV too.  Smiley
There is no doubt Borussia Dortmund is big club with having too much experience and sources for having the best performance in this league, but their performance in this season is on decline even now they are facing problems for having their spot in Champions League for the next season as well but still this could be no easy game because we have PSV at his best and their performance in Eredivisie is at the top while they were also good in early matches of the event this could be good experience for them and if the able to won surely this could be historic success because now in next season their entry is again settled and this win brings good confidence for the players and team as well.

Borussia Dortmund which is famous for having top quality players are currently at their lowest level because their current squad is not near at his best which is surely problem for them.

Have you ever tried it? For example, asking the AI that you use to predict or apply formulas or whatever it is for the gambling you do to get a win.

I myself have tried it all and did not find any results, some of them are reluctant to answer because they are not programmed for that, even if there is an AI that gives answers about gambling matters I think you have to question the possibility again, it's the same as asking your friend who you don't know whether he is gambling or not, but he is very smart.
But you already know that they are not programmed for this? Also, common sense is only needed here. There will be no such thing because this is going to make all the gamblers rich and time will come that there will be no gambling. I won't say it's a good thing because our one source of entertainment have been removed.

If let say it is possible that some tool can have a greater advantage against the casino, it will only be solo by those who discover it, as it can also make their lives in danger. At the meantime, some good AI's might still work on giving formulas to other things like for example in our school subjects or homeworks, and also if we are a developer/programmer.

I never use services or buy trading signal services. if I use signals, I choose free signals and to strengthen my analysis services instead of following the signal. actually open signal services, the accuracy of the analysis is also not 100% accurate or profitable. because if you are sure of the analysis, just trading with large capital will make a big profit and make a lot of money without having to sell signals.
Yes, but unfortunately, many people don't understand that if a person was so expert in trading that they would provide accurate signals all the time, they would be making millions of dollars every month just by trading instead of creating and managing paid signal groups where they charge about $20 per person per month to provide them with trading signals, it doesn't make much sense or have any logic in it.

I have seen people showing themselves as being millionaires, having a lot of money and riches, and still selling courses on how one can make money. I mean, if you are so rich and have everything you need in life, why don't you teach others for free?
305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Couple won the jackpot but split soon after! on: March 11, 2024, 02:25:10 PM
In my opinion, the reality is that money can change a person. by getting a big win or a large amount of money, of course it does influence thinking, usually people will experience changes when they have a lot of money. This is clearly a reality because in my environment there are cases like this too. People who get big wins tend not to care about relationships or anything else because they feel like they have a lot of money so they think they can have everything with the money they get. with them separating, perhaps because of their respective egos, which are both large, whereas they cannot take a better middle path, only thinking about their own egos, until the decision that occurs is separation.

It's true what you say, maybe it's because of their greed, but in my opinion, if the party who wins can share it well, in the sense that they are already in a serious relationship then everything should be done together. including the victory obtained, if it is discussed properly, perhaps there will be no separation. However, in reality, humans do have the nature of being greedy with their own portions, especially with money. When you have a large amount of money, change or selfishness will definitely emerge.
The thing wouldn't reach the point of separation if they were both serious about the relationship and if they had love and affection for one another, but that doesn't seem to be the case in this situation because they are doing their best to have the money on their own and keep the other person out of it, and from what we can read from the story, the girl/women seems to be more selfish and greedy if she is the one who started all this after the win if what is written in the story is true.

However, this shows that a lot of relationships are based only on certain conditions and compromises and this is proved right when things like these happen.
306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: March 11, 2024, 07:10:42 AM
We should be able to linked ourselves with the current phase of the system. There we have it, the vast majority of gambling addicts coming from football because it's more simple to understand and comprehend unlike casinos that's not worldwide. Our problems will be resolved as soon as we're able to sort out the means of making necessary bold steps in the space. Gambling comes with different sources, we're the ones that would bear the heavy burden when things does go as planned in the system. We just have to control ourselves and ensure we take proper time to lay down solid investment.
What are you talking about? I don't think that most gambling addicts are sports bettors because sports betting isn't that addictive and gambling games are way more addictive than it such as slots, dice, roulette, or any other gambling game that is played by most gamblers in a casino.

In my opinion, slots are the game that is the reason for most gamblers becoming addicts and the reason behind that is the graphical gameplay of it and most importantly, the multipliers slots games offer to the gamblers which mostly lures a lot of people towards it.

Slots are also the most played casino and gambling games in the world as far as I know.
307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indirect victims of gambling addiction on: March 11, 2024, 06:22:34 AM
Slots and children this is very much known to me. I was sort of victim of indirect gambling at my childhood. After the school, on the way home, few times we have visited casino (there were only slots, can this be called a casino then?) and gambled lunch money. This wasnt done every day; maybe once a few month. We were a company of classmates who walked home. Some of my friends gambled there on the way home. I did it more rarely than they. But still, to be «in the company» or «like them», I have tried slots.
I can relate to that because we have had similar habits as children where we would go out as a group of friends and sometimes gamble on games that are played in shops or sometimes on streets where there are small areas created as places for fun activities and stuff where you can play some local gambling games as well. It used to be fun when we used to go there because you always have a good time with friends around you.

A game that I remember from there was that they used to have a board where they had some images fixed, and then another dice-shaped box where the same images are fixed. You would need to make a bet on one of the images, he will roll the dice, and if the image you have bet on comes on top, you win all the money on the board except his commission which we can call the house edge.

Never surrender to a situation, but keep trying and moving forward to improve the situation.
That's the bottom line. Success is not for those who give up when there are hurdles in the way, people who are determined and focused on their goals and targets, barely know about surrendering and they will keep moving forward despite all the hardships, difficulties, and hurdles in their way of success.

Achieving something isn't an easy task, you can't just do something casually and then become successful in it, it requires loads of hard work and a hell of a lot of focus and dedication and then you stand a chance to achieve your goals in your desired field of interest or in the business or investment that you are into.

So, one needs to remember, never surrender no matter what the situation is.

Some of the refereeing decisions also hampered the match a little bit because I think in this match there were some issues about questionable refereeing decisions.
It's hard to catch up with 1 goal down and losing players makes Lazio seem frustrated with the conditions in 90 minutes of the match.

Yeah, and those referees didn't let me win with such a good multiplier,  66.58! But "That's life", like Tommy Wiseau said in The Room. Let's not be upset about it too much. Smiley

haha you're right buddy because things like this always happen even though it's very unfortunate especially the odds of 66.58 are clearly very large and very regrettable but when the decision has happened then we can't do anything because in the end we can only try again on another occasion Cheesy
btw this week there are actually good opportunities in terms of betting especially for the EPL, my multi has been running Manchester United has won and Arsenal now I am quite optimistic they can also get 3 points and the peak I am waiting for Newcastle against Chelsea and Liverpool against Manchester City to complete my multibet.

Quote


I was a little different this week as an easy bet I made almost led to a loss.
Nunez's late goal to give Liverpool 3 points saved me from my multi Smiley I was pretty sure Liverpool could win easily but Nottingham exceeded my expectations in today's match.

Wow, congrats, mate! What a win! I don't know why you are hiding the bet amount, but I feel like it was a big one. Congrats again!
Yeah even though it only became 6.58 but I think it's still very good for my return of capital and I'm quite happy with the win in the previous week hopefully this week I can get the same thing.
The worst is that when you have a good bet going and you lose maybe on the last game, or just with one game in general and after the game is over everyone on youtube starts to show 10 different angles of why that bet was wrong. I had that most recently with Roma-Sevilla game last year, I bet that Roma would win and I wagered a quite big amount of money, I believed Sevilla run on europa would end and in return I got a horrible referee decision that made the game turn.

This has caused a lot of people tol ose a lot of money, that day whoever wagered on Roma ended up on losing and thats really something special. We should be careful with these and not say anything because a friend of mine said some "not so nice" things about the referee on twitter and he actually got sued.

Is it wise and realistic for someone in his early twenties to set up Bitcoin as  a retirement plan such that he continues accumulating Bitcoin from this time till he gets to his retirement age?
Why not? I have seen and read a lot of stories where people have started investing in Bitcoin when they are still in their early 20s and they seem to be doing great with the process. All you need to do is save any money that you can, like cut down unnecessary expenses that you know wouldn't have an effect on your personal life and routine, and invest that money using the DCA method in Bitcoin either weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly, etc.

A mistake that most people make is that they start investing every single penny in Bitcoin, even the money that they need for other things, some would even sell valuable items or properties to invest the money in Bitcoin but I never recommend that because one should only invest money that they can spare for an unexpected amount of time because you never know what might happen in the market next, we can only make predictions.
311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 10, 2024, 03:52:44 PM
The match of PSG vs Reims team in French Soccer League has already started. Both teams are tied with 2-2 goals. I still don't know which team will win today's match. But PSG team is on the 1st position of the points table so expect PSG team to score one more goal.  Today's match will be won. If the players of both teams do not score any goals today, the match will be a draw.
PSG which is currently having 10 points lead from the second spotted team Brest fail to break their draw streak and now have third draw match in domestic league against Reims which is surely poor from them but as match and things are going to look like now we will have new strategy from the Spanish coach Luis Enrique which is trying to have team without Kylian Mbappé which is set to leave this team at the end of this season, but strategy is not working for them as they fail to keep things at the better level.

At home against Reims they were ended 2–2 at the half-time but in second half completely fail to have anything which give them better result so Reims lucky to have one point from this match in second half we have Mbappé for 20 minutes, but this also not works for the PSG.

It is totally random and it is not going to have anything that would be related to goodwill or anything like that. It's purely regards to randomization and nothing more, every provably fair gambling game out there has that randomizer in their system and that ends up being one of the most important ones, so it is going to end up being an important part of it. I realize that it is not that easy, but it should definitely be considered one of the few important parts of it without a doubt.

I guess that there are some people who wanted to see something beneath all of that, but it doesn't really have it, it's gamblers fallacy and nothing more than that, so having that type of understanding would not help you at all if you look further.

And it means absolutely nothing to him at all. That's the thing I love about money and find so fascinating, this money would be enough for me to live off forever, it would be an amount that I do not even need to make any money further.

I do not mean any investments, savings account interest, gold, crypto, nothing. Give me 615k and I will not be able to finish that off until I die, it would be impossible unless dollar has like 1000% value loss. This dude can afford to lose it on a single bet and nothing in his life ever changes. That's the gap between the rich and the poor, that has to be something so important in discussions of politics, but this is not the place.

314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 10, 2024, 06:29:24 AM
This is very common, if you are doing something that you enjoy, not only you do not want to stop but also times seems to fly away so you feel as if you have not done the activity for long, even when you have been engaged on it for hours, this is a trick that our mind plays on us and we need to be aware of it and know when to stop, otherwise it could be possible that in order to keep true to those feelings you will gamble way more money than what you had planned for.
Sometimes it's not about money, but you are considered to be an irresponsible gambler if you also don't limit the time that you spend on your gambling activities which means that you can't spend the whole day in the casino and then say that you didn't lose a lot of money because you have lost a lot of time and as they say, time is money.

So when someone gambles, they need to make sure that they have a limit on their gambling budget but they also need to make sure that they have a limit for the time they will spend in the casino as well so that they don't spend a lot of money and a lot of time on their gambling activities like any other responsible gambler in the community.
315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 09, 2024, 05:45:44 PM
After spending a lot of money for the club, PSG's owners actually want to see the club has Champions League cup in their club's hall. PSG tends to play fearfully against big clubs in Champions League but they can change this attitude and in some matches, it can make big difference to help them winning Champions League.
I don't know what happened to PSG when they even had a lethal attacking trio in their squad but still failed to win the Champions League, nobody doubted the quality of PSG when they still had Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in their front line but when the best players were in their squad but they were still very difficult to get the Champions League trophy for the first time at that time.

For this season, I highly doubt if PSG will be able to get the Champions League trophy just by relying on Mbappe at this time and even after the certainty of mbappe leaving of course mbappe spirit and concentration is now no longer 100% to help psg, with the amount of money that has been spent by psg owners so far of course we can say their project failed, by the way its quite interesting to see what happens to PSG next season, although maybe they will look for other players but most likely will not be able to improve PSG performance later bcause so far it is very difficult to get a striker who is really able to make the teamsmentality improve like Ronaldo and Messi.
This is never been difficult to understand it's never been guaranteed you have huge funds and top players then you can win any title because we have too many examples about this all with most of the time after spending huge funds clubs struggle even they have gone down badly like we have Chelsea and Manchester United with PSG never won because I will blame management about this all they need to stick with good coach and also allow him to do changes as he needed like currently Luis Enrique doing hopefully these will be brought positive changes, and they will be able to have better results in they will be keep faith in him even after exit of the Kylian Mbappé.

For the success and wins in big events we need mentality like we have in Manchester City, Real Madrid and Inter Milan they are allowing their coaches all as they feel better and things are going into their way with success is also coming without any big trouble.
316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI on: March 09, 2024, 04:03:24 PM
I will definitely favor Mumbai Indians women today as they are second in the points table and they are good in form. Although Gujarat lost their first four matches, they got their first win in their last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore women's team. Although I am not taking Gujarat Giants women team lightly as they have good batsmen like Beth Mooney, Phoebe Litchfield, Laura Wolvaardt who can turn match at any moment. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians, who have four wins in six matches, can topple Delhi Capitals at the top of the table if they win against Gujarat today. Since the top of the table team will qualify directly for the finals, I think Mumbai Indians will not want to miss the opportunity.
We have Gujarat Giants on batting as they decided after winning toss and what a performance from their batting lineup after winning last game now their confidence level is up, and we can expect good performance from them which will surely create good competition in last few matches of this WPL season Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalatha score almost 100 runs in 10 overs which help Gujarat Giants to achieve this big score on board 190 runs which is surely impressive from them now we are heading for the Mumbai Indians batting which is looking for the win and having top spot in league table.

Right now all teams having chance for going into play-offs, so every match is important now we have to watch today how Mumbai Indians will be played after conceding huge target from the bottom side team can they manage this, or we are going to have second win for the Gujarat Giants in today game.

It is quite risky to see Inter's narrow lead from the first leg against Atletico and even though they are favorites to win, playing the second leg at Atletico's home ground will be a problem. Usually Atletico will be more difficult to beat if they are at home and their fans will never stop providing support. I think Atletico could overturn the aggregate lead and if something like that happens, Inter must be prepared for the worst. Inter just needs to strengthen their defense and if they are able to score more goals, it will be difficult for Atletico to catch up on the aggregate goals.
Never put hope on these average teams because they have signs of trembling fall in any moment of this particular tournament. The UEFA Champions League competition is unpredictable due to the inconsistent performance coming from these elite teams and its left them with doubts. Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid, have been important for both sides but Diego Simeone have failed to beat Simeone Inzaghi who's very optimistic regarding the performance of his club, he needs to be confident enough because there are other winnings to settle for.
I am not agreed as you are calling them average teams for me these both teams are top ranks into their domestic leagues and as well into UEFA competitions because these teams are having rich history and quality and consistency are also into their side for the all seasons even these are having no trophies as much we have for the few others but still these are coming in Champions League every season and giving their best even mostly we have them into top spots like round of the 16 and quarterfinals as well.

Now in this season we have interesting situation like Inter Milan is having only 1 goal lead which is surely not enough but still things are favourable for them to have better performance in second leg and win their spot in next round even Atlético Madrid is also not easy team, but things could be very interesting for the both teams in this match.

What an end of the first inning between Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiator with at the end Peshawar able to score good target 196 thanks to some firepower from Recardo Powell at the end and good inning from the captain Babar Azam who hit 53 runs on 30 balls Akeel Hossain 4 for 23 with the help of hat trick was the main bowler for the Quetta Gladiator now we are waiting for the batting of the Quetta which needs to win this match having second spot in league table which could be guaranteed for them to have spot into last four.

Most chances we will have exciting end of this match as Peshawar Zalmi is having good bowling attack, and they will also try their best for having stop the Quetta Gladiators from scoring these runs on this batting pitch.

If you look at the strength that the Arsenal team currently has, they shouldn't have too much difficulty turning things around in the second leg, especially since the match will be played at their home ground, Emirates Stadium, but many people doubt Arsenal because of this team's mentality, not because of its quality. And Arsenal and Arteta should be able to prove that it will be very influential in improving the team mentality of their team in the second leg.

The match tension in the Champions League is definitely different compared to other competitions.
If you really believe in Arsenal being able to turn things around, that's quite natural because Arsenal will be very favorites in the second leg and if there are no big surprises then Arsenal will be able to win the match, I think it's worth betting on Arsenal winning.
After first leg game there were too much talk about Arsenal and Porto game with most chances I have feeling we will have result like we have in game Bayern Munich vs Lazio because currently Arsenal is surely at the top with their quality and things can go into their favour without any problem but still they need to understand while they will be host Porto they give their best because once they have already done mistake while they underestimate their opponent Porto and lost the first leg game now hopefully they will be at their best while they will face them and also give their best game which will allow them for having spot into last eight.

In last few games we have best from the Arsenal while they are now having good experience as well which will help them for having better results and then surely in coming days they are going to face another challenging match while they will visit the Etihad Stadium for the Premier League game where things will be decided can they go for the title or again going to end at the top four without title.

Liverpool has home advantage when they meet Manchester City this week. I don't expect both teams to draw despite their peak performance, but one of them must be able to win the match regardless of whether it is Manchester City or Liverpool. One of the two is expected to maintain its chances of winning the title instead of Arsenal, but if the two teams draw then Arsenal will certainly get a big benefit.

It is true that there are still a number of tough matches remaining this season, but if Liverpool or Manchester City can win this match then their motivation to maintain their position at the top will be even better. I expect Manchester City to win the game, but a draw might be expected by some people instead of a loss.
They do have the home advantage but against a team like Manchester City it is not enough, they need more than that to win Manchester City and i hope a lot of their injured players recover before the match. I see Arnold and Alisson out and some few key players that might be helpful in the match because they need all the players they can get in order to win.

Some players are barely recovering and might be not be fully fit to give their all in the match so Liverpool needs to approach the game with caution. Manchester City also needs to be careful, it is a crucial game and a league deciding game and anyone that loses will see a setback in the title race.
I am not agreed about this team like Liverpool needs home advantage for winning game because their quality is at the top and their available players are also capable of giving their best like we have from them in last night game against Sparta Prague where they have done impressive job and destroy them by good margin even things are not easy against Manchester City but still this could be not easy game for the Citizens because they are also needed to give their best if they want to win this game at Anfield and have top spot in league table.

Liverpool's injuries situation is worse but still they are doing good, and we can hope now Mohammad Salah which is well recovered will give his best in this game against Manchester City and keep their top spot in league table with their chances for the winning of title will be also increased.
