It wasn't long ago that I embarked on a gambling journey and at the same time, I haven't felt in my actions so far that I've ever become addicted to gambling.
I basically always try to gamble with very little funds, and always keep low risk bets. And there are times when I have been able to stay without gambling for months. So I don't think I was addicted. But yes, Ericson, I was into gambling and computer gaming, although that too has now had to be dropped due to work pressure.
I am also somewhat similar to you because I also gamble sometimes, but only with a small amount of money and for fun. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as it does not interfere with our activities. The problem lies with people who like to gamble but indirectly destroy their future because they are too addicted and even borrow money to gamble. But you are amazing for not gambling for months, and I think that's a good thing because gambling should only be done when we are in a good mood. I couldn't go months without gambling like you; I could only go a week or two at most, and it definitely depends on my finances. You are doing the right thing because you are not too addicted to gambling, and we should not let gambling ruin our future.

Anyway lets talk about the todays match currently ongoing match between the Rangpur Riders and Chattogram Royals I am seeing that Rangout Riders team bowlers are doing excellent job they took six wickets of Chattogram Royals and their score is only 74 and 8 overs left Chattogram Royals did good in their first match but in this match I have doubt on their performance.
In the end, Chattogram Royals were all out for 102 runs in 17.5 overs, which is not a good target in the T20 format. Although Chattogram Royals did well in the beginning of the innings, they could not do well in the end. Mohammad Naim was dismissed for 39 runs in 20 balls and from then on they kept losing wickets. Chattogram Royals had a great performance in the first match and won but the batsmen failed in this match. Yes, Rangpur Riders' bowlers bowled well. In particular, Faheem Ashraf performed well, he took 5 wickets. However, Rangpur Riders have scored 40 runs in 6 overs so far, I think they will chase the target in 13-14 overs. I had said earlier that Rangpur will win, and the result of the match is going to be as expected.
In Bangladesh Premier league Rangpur Riders defeated Chattogram Royals by 7 wickets. Chattogram Royals opens inning first with Muhammad Naim and Adam Rossington and among the openers Muhammad Naim played a well inning of 39 runs but Rossington lost his wicket early on 1 run and after that the team was panicked and Riders bowler completely dominating on Chattogram batters but in this tough situation Mirza Baig played a very defensive inning of 20 runs and at the end of the innings Chattogram scores only 102 runs and set a very low target of 103 runs for Rangpur Riders. Rangpur Riders opens inning with David Malan and Litton Das and both the openers give a very positive start to the team and Malan played a well knock of 51 runs and also Litton Das scores 47 runs and after that Khusdil Shah scores 6 runs and remain not out and Rangpur Riders easily chase the target and won the game by 7 wickets
In this match Rangpur Rider was heavy in the field.Rangpur Rider bowlers took the first wicket of Chattogram Royal for 3 runs and with their hard bowling rangpur rider dismissed all the batsmen of chattogram royals on the fifth ball of 17 overs. Faheem Ashraf took 5 important wickets of Chattogram and put Chattogram Royals under pressure.From Chattogram Royals only Mohammad Naim and Mirza Tahir Baig worked hard due to which their aim was very weak.Talking about Rangpur Rider they achieved this aim with the loss of 3 wickets and Dawid Malan showed aggressive batting.Rangpur Rider has secured the second place on the points table with this win.Chattogram Royals need to strengthen their batting line because any team can defeat them easily.
Good summary by everyone. This game was a clear indication of the difference in performance between the two teams. Chattagram Royals began to do so, particularly Mohammad Naim but when he got out, the batting failed one hundred percent. With a constant loss of wickets in a T20, it is not possible to record a competitive score. To their credit, the bowlers of Rangpur Riders, more so Faheem Ashraf, never allowed the batsmen to rest. It was never difficult to chase 103, and Malan with Litton did not want any surprises. Rangpur was a well-balanced, calm, and disciplined-looking man. Chattogram are actually in need of fixing their middle order in order to remain competitive.

That was one sided match because one team did great effort in this match and won the match by high margin. The players of Rangpur Riders cricket team looked in full form because they tried to chase the target very easily and hit long sixes in this match. Dawid Malan was a person who made half century in this match and he made this half century in 48 balls . Litton Das class was also good in this match because he hit 2 sixes and 4 fours in this match and played with strike rate of 151 in this match. Faheem Ashraf was a top performer of this match because he took 5 wickets in this match and gave only 17 runs in this match . We are ready to watch next match of that team because that team is giving high quality result.
In this match, Chattogram Royals were expected to perform poorly from the very beginning. If we look at the match flow, we will see that Chattogram Royals lost their certificate in just 51 runs and five wickets for 69 runs. In this way, they lost their remaining wickets in a row so that they ended their innings in just 102. The main point here is that Chittagong Royals do not have any good batsmen in their squad this year and this is hurting their batting performance. On the other hand, Rangpur Riders have many strong batsmen, against whom their bowlers are weak.
it was entirely one sided and the imbalance of teams was eminent. Rangpur Riders did not appear pressurized at any point and pursued the target without any hesitation. Malan was anchoring the innings not that the strike rate was blazing but Litton Das was giving the charge with his aggressive hits. The match was indeed set after Faheem Ashraf had 5 wickets and 17 runs in a T20 match is amazing. Chattogram Royals, however, they failed far too easily. Their batting line up is proven to be weak this season and with a powerful Rangpur attack, it was brought to full light.

I also agree that main factor that led to defeat of Chattogram Royals against Rangpur Riders was batting collapse of Royals, considering that they were all out with just 102 runs. Team, as you mentioned, lost its middle order calm very early and although Mohammad Naim performed well at beginning with 39 runs, rest of the team had tough time facing Faheem Ashraf who took unbelievable 5 wickets.
I believe that Royals are relying too much on few players and they could not compete with powerful Rangpur team. Fact that matches on December 30 were pushed back to mark national mourning gives team more time to fix their batting order. So they should get 150 or more runs in their next game against Sylhet Titans, otherwise they will be knocked out in playoffs in shortest time possible.

This match was completely one sided and I had high expectation from Chattogram Royals squad that they would perform like they did in previous match. But Chattogram Royals disappointed me and easily handed over points to Rangpur Riders squad. Chattogram Royals squad was begun match first with batting and batters were managed to collect 102 scores off 20 overs inning. Faheem Ashraf did good job and played crucial role in victory by picking up 5 significant wickets. On batting side, Litton Das and Dawid Malan built strong and long batting partnership and both collected 47 and 51s scores respectively. Chattogram Royals squad was unable to restrict Rangpur Riders batters below scores and faced heavy defeat with 5 overs.

One thing about life that people should take note of, is that what work for someone, might not work for you. Which is why, whatever thing that one should know about gambling, is that gambling is always unpredictable and should be gamble responsibly.
So, having known what gambling is all about, will make one to be careful and cautious of themselves, so that whenever things doesn't go as they planned, they will not be move or push to do what they will later regret in life.
Actually here I don't want to go in more details I will just say that again gambling is unpredictable it has no easy solution so that we will apply our skill or strategy to apply for winning. And here we can easily say that if there anyone say that in the midnight games they pay better then we have to also say that it is a myth there is no logic or reason behind of this.
And the main point is we should not actually things on that way because gambling is only for entertainment if we thing like that then we won't gonna play gambling for fun we will also use the amount we can't afford to lose and that will makes us in financial crisis.
Of course you are right on what you are saying, and yes I don't have anything against him neither do I want to try that out to see if would work or not, the main thing is we should be applying responsible gambling and do not approach gambling as an additional means of income rather should be treating it as a place for entertainment but most people nowadays see it as a place for generating more income for them. This is the reason why many of them easily gets into additions while gambling.

Brother, your prediction has been correct, excellent prediction. You said Rangpur would win and it might take 13 to 14 more to surpass the target of 103 runs bowled by Chittagong Royals. Rangpur Riders reached the target after playing 15 overs to get very close to your words. Faheem Ashraf's brilliant bowling devastated the Chittagong batsmen. As a result, they failed to score Burrow. Faheem Ashraf took 5 wickets for just 17 runs and laid the foundation for Rangpur's victory.

Bottom side Noakhali Express heating for third defeat into their third match of this season as they were not able to perform good in their match against Rajshahi Warriors. Here in 6th game of BPL which is playing at Sylhet Noakhali Express invited to bat first but failed to have decent total on board.
Rajshahi Warriors bowlers took early breakthrough and kept things under their control as they were in better side of this match. 124 runs from Noakhali Express looking not enough as now Rajshahi Warriors doing good batting while chasing in favourable conditions at the end of 7 overs 69 for 2. Now Rajshahi Warriors need 56 runs on 78 balls which is looking not challenging for them.
Although there was some confusion a while ago, Rajshahi warriors are currently predicting a victory, currently after 11.4 overs, Rajshahi warriors are collecting 87 runs and their current run rate is 7.45 and their required run rate is 4.35 and they need to take 37 runs from only 51 balls, and that too with six wickets left in hand. Here we can already see a clear image that Rajshahi warriors will win. And Noakhali Express's first Bangladesh Premier League season does not seem to be going well, as they will lose match number three. And the possibility of recovery from this stage is very low for this season.
Rajashahi warriors had an easy aim from Noakhali express which they won by 6 wickets and 13 balls in advance.After a few overs the match became interesting because the wining was not yet decided. Then in the last overs the wining of Rajashahi warrior became clear. Rajashahi warriors first wicket had fallen for 2 runs.After the first wicket fell their partnership would be strong.The wining for Rajashahi warrior was easy because the runs were less and the balls were more.Even if they had wasted the balls they would not have had any difficulty in winning.Noakhali express did not gain any special skills in this league that is they did not achieve much success.I think they will not be able to stay in this league for long.

In terms of bowling, I would say that Dhaka Capitals' bowlers performed better and that is why Rajshahi Warriors' batsmen could not bat well and ended their innings at just 132 runs, which is a very weak target for the T20 format.
And that is where the main opportunity for Dhaka Capitals came in. Although they felt a little weak in front of Mohammad Nawaz's bowling, they were able to recover and win with five wickets in hand and seven balls to spare. However, it is still not possible to say how Dhaka Capitals are going to perform in the upcoming matches because if we look at the matches of last season's Bangladesh Premier League, we will see that Dhaka Capitals were one of the weakest teams.
Yes, Dhaka Capitals did not do well last season, they played 12 matches and won only 3 matches. But they started the first match of this season with a win, I hope they can do well this season. Because this time they have added some foreign star players in the squad, like Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Alex Hales, Dasun Shanaka, so I hope they can do something good this season. However, Nasir Hossain's performance in the first match was disappointing, because he could not do well enough in batting. Imad Wasim played an important role in Dhaka Capitals' victory, he took 3 wickets for 16 runs in 4 overs.
Anyway, after a day's break, there will be 2 matches today, the first will be between Rangpur Riders vs Chattogram Royals and the second will be between Rajshahi Warriors vs Noakhali Express. Rangpur Riders will play the first match of this season, I hope Rangpur Riders will win. Let's see what happens today.

If I give my personal opinion here, I would say that both the teams performed exceptionally well in this match from the bowling format. Here I would put Pakistan Under-19 team and Afghanistan Under-19 team side by side, but in terms of batting performance, both the teams performed poorly.
So there is no context here to say that Pakistan Under-19 team performed very well or Afghanistan Under-19 team performed very well, here the performance of both was almost equal. And in this respect, Pakistan Under-19 team narrowly escaped losing the match.
It is very fair analysis of match where both teams bowled very well yet did not bat well resulting in very close finish. Real stars were bowlers on both sides, and they kept their aim so steady that batters never got comfortable or stayed long. Since two teams almost played same, it was other battle of plans than show of talent and Pakistan was extremely lucky to have won by such small margin. This shows that Afghanistan youth team has become as strong as Pakistan and it is no longer team that can be easily beaten. Although Pakistan won, it is clear that two teams should practice their batting if they want to do well in remaining part of tournament.

I will say one thing here first, that is maybe your friend sometimes made good profits by gambling at midnight, so he has come to believe that you can win by betting at midnight. But I will say that if such an incident happened to your friend, then it was a coincidence because we all know that in gambling, everything depends on luck. If someone has bad luck, then no matter how much he bets at night or during the day, he will lose.
So we have to keep this kind of mind set away, which basically does not keep us in the entertainment of gambling.
One thing about life that people should take note of, is that what work for someone, might not work for you. Which is why, whatever thing that one should know about gambling, is that gambling is always unpredictable and should be gamble responsibly.

Having judged the losses only on financial grounds is usually a mistake but lack of time can actually pose a threat to the career and build up at a gradually increasing rate. You have observed the warning indicators and total elimination is the most risk mitigation tool. We are the better aware, that the habits that consume valuable time, will expand in a short time, unless they are immediately rooted out. Doing what is right at this time will leave you free of regrets in future as the demands of the profession may be more demanding and tough.
I agree with you that losing money in gambling is more harmful than wasting time. For example, if we gamble at a time when we need to study or develop our skills or perform our job duties while working, then of course it will be a waste of time and will hinder our own career. Because gambling at an untimely time slows down our progress speed and at the same time, those in whom we see such a tendency gradually become addicted to gambling and due to this, regular gambling also becomes a habit for them, which should not be done at all.
Actually as a gambler we should be able to control ourselves and not letting the gambling controls us, whenever you began to noticed that gambling has started control people then you should know that they are gradually becoming addicted to gambling but when it's controlled it reduces them. How do you control gambling?
At first before gambling think of how much you should be using for that week and how long it should be able to serve you till you make another deposit to gambling site, but when you lesser amount the fine, you could be just focusing on the fun aspect of the gambling. That is why it's always advisable to allocate either 5-10% percent of your weekly/monthly income to gamble and when it's finished you should be able to hold and control yourself while you get your account topped up at the usual days.
Habits that consume time tend to expand when they are tolerated. What starts as occasional gambling can slowly push aside priorities especially when it becomes a routine escape or distraction. People often underestimate this because there is no immediate pain like losing a large sum. But over months or years the cost shows up as missed promotions stagnation or lost discipline. Removing or strictly limiting such habits early is not punishment it is protection for your future self.
Control in gambling is less about complex rules and more about clear boundaries. Planning both money and time before gambling is what keeps the activity in its proper place. When someone decides in advance how much they can spend and how long they will play gambling stays recreational. Once those limits are ignored gambling starts making decisions for the person instead of the other way around. That is usually the turning point toward addiction.

Time has come for yet another brief monthly overview of local boards activity, this time a little bit later than in previous months. All charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr
Merit Dashboard and BitList.
Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bengali) don't have their own local boards yet.
Post activity per local board during November 2025After the last month's increase this time we have a drop of activity; from October's 14463 posts we dropped down to 13826 posts in November. Majority of this drop happened due decreased activity in two of the most active boards, Nigerian and Russian. Drop is not huge, therefore not concerning and I am confident that it was just a little bit weaker month.
Active members per local board during November 2025During the last month, 1445 members wrote at least one post in one of the local boards that are part of this overview, which is almost exactly the same as in October (1446). To be honest, I expected bigger drop than that considering the drop of the number of posts, but I guess people just wrote less, nothing else.
No changes at the top; Nigerian board far ahead the other, and Russia behind on the 2nd, after many years of dominating this, and majority of the other charts.
Local board members per amount of posts during November 2025When it comes to the percentage of members who wrote only 1 post in their board during November, leader is Polish local board with 58%, while at the same time Pilipinas board had only 12% of such members.
At the 2-9 posts bracket leader is French board with 67%, while Arabic board had the lowest percentage, only 25%.
Regarding the 10+ posts bracket, Portuguese and Pilipinas share the first spot, each having 53% of such members, while Romanian board had no members who wrote 10+ posts.
Merit shared per local board during November 2025During November, 7414 merit was shared across local board, which is a big drop compared to October's 8427 merit. The main cause of this major drop can be found in Nigerian board, whose number of merit shared went from 2241 to 1565. Other boards contributed to this drop as well, but majority of this is decreased happened there. Drop would be much bigger if German board didn't have a big increase in the same period.
Merit/Post ratio per local board during November 2025In November, an average merit per post across local boards was 0.54, which is an expected decrease compared to October's 0.56 and is continuation of the trend for several months now.
After losing the first spot for a couple of months, German local board is back at the top with a very high 1.66 ratio, but few others like Spanish, Italian, Arabic and Italian also have over 1+ merit per post which is an excellent ratio.
Merit senders and receivers per local board during November 2025During November, 536 members sent while 610 received merit, which is an expected drop compared to October (654 senders and 685 receivers) due fewer merit shared.
Merit per transaction across local boards during November 2025And for the end, the chart that shows us merit habits of each board. Arabic remained at the top, while German local board is not that far behind with also a very high merit per tx ratio, which is not surprise given their high merit per post ratio.
The most active members per local board during November 2025Last but not the least, the list of the most active local board members. This time the most active member was Julien_Olynpic from Russian local with 137 posts, close 2nd was joker_josue from Portuguese localwho wrote 135 posts while 3rd was the most active member of Turkish board, mandown, who wrote 127 posts. Keep it up guys!

It's not just that Sharjah Warriors played poorly in this match; they have been performing poorly throughout the entire season of this year's International League T20, winning only three out of ten matches and losing the remaining seven matches, leaving them at number 6 in the points table.
Anyway, if we talk about today's match, then in this match we could already imagine that Desert Vipers team will win this match because Desert Vipers team is one of the most favorite teams of this year's International League T20 and where Sharjah Warriors is known for its poor performance. We saw the same in the match but Sharjah Warriors bowled a little better, due to which only three balls were left towards the last over.
Just two more matches remain in group stage, and now it is confirmed that Desert Vipers will play the Qualifier match. The other team for Qualifier would be either MI Emirates or the Dubai Capitals (MIE has the maximum chances). Gulf Giants and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will fight it out for the final spot for playoff matches, while Sharjah Warriorz is officially out of the tournament with yet another loss against the DV. For the Warriorz, it was a forgettable season. They managed to win just three matches. This franchise is owned by Capri Global (Michael Kors Holdings Limited), and I am sure that the owners won't be too impressed with the performance for this season.
You have put it into good perspective and it is difficult not to agree with this. Sharjah Warriorz have been looking out of depth throughout the majority of the season and their table performance is a fair representation of their overall performance. Although they were slightly better with the ball against Desert Vipers, it never gave them a chance to pose a significant threat to one of the strongest teams in the tournament. Desert Vipers have performed very well in the course of the league stage and thus their position in the Qualifier does not come as a surprise. As the playoff picture is turning clearer with only two games to go, it seems that MI Emirates can secure the remaining Qualifier spot. In the case of Sharjah Warriorz the upcoming season will certainly make the question of squad balance and management a point of concern in future.

There is nothing new anymore to how we uses our time and to how much we can use in gambling, at this point I will want to know how many people that are being affected by their time, such as; they were busy at work place and could have time to gamble, or they have all the time it takes to gamble but doesn't have necessary funds needed to gamble and hence is looking for funds to use and gamble. At this points which of this affects you much, lets see how the rate of people which funds are really affecting or depriving to gamble.
For me, I don't have enough funds to keep gambling like others but whenever I have to spare i wouldn't mind using it to gamble just catch the thrill in gambling. Now I will want to know about you, what affects you much or hinds you from gambling?
To be honest, that happens to me most of the time is that even though I use very small amount of money for gambling, I end up spending more time gambling than I should have and it often affects my work, although it hasn't become that big and I think it's still within normal limits.
However, I will never say that this nature is good or that it should exist. Our right initiative should be to completely eradicate it, otherwise it will later be seen that it can take on a larger form.
Having judged the losses only on financial grounds is usually a mistake but lack of time can actually pose a threat to the career and build up at a gradually increasing rate. You have observed the warning indicators and total elimination is the most risk mitigation tool. We are the better aware, that the habits that consume valuable time, will expand in a short time, unless they are immediately rooted out. Doing what is right at this time will leave you free of regrets in future as the demands of the profession may be more demanding and tough.

I actually never read gambling or betting books, But I must say that if the gambling book talks about positive and responsible gambling in detail, then reading that book will definitely bring positive results and time will not be wasted in that regard. Because we will read that book to learn about loss control and responsible gambling methods in gambling, which will be very beneficial for keeping our financial situation stable.
So from this point of view, I would say that if someone reads a book on gambling, it will not be a loss but rather it will be worthwhile.
Definitely books are great tools for knowledge expansion, understanding and professional experiences.So the value you get from reading gambling books depends on your ability to leverage ideas you grabbed,apply relevant tips or insights responsibly.It takes one idea to improve your skills in strategic gaming,so it makes sense to explore books too.
Indeed, it will depends on how you execute the ideas and how you deal with your understanding those who collect great ideas and follow the patterns correctly are mostly prevents themselves regretting their gambling involvement, while those who failed to process mostly ends up losing a lot, shared ideas thru books or any means of information gives you basis it's either to take it seriously or face the consequences that may lead you to lose more than what you can afford to let go.

Pakistan Under-19 team defeated India by 191 runs in the final match, which made most of the cricket fans happy because Pakistan Under-19 team was able to defeat India Under-19 team in a one-sided manner. India Under-19 team is definitely strong but they could not perform well against Pakistan. None of their batsmen could perform well due to which India Under-19 team lost the final match very badly. India Under-19 team should have been more responsible in an important match like the final match, maybe they thought that since the opponent is Pakistan Under-19 team, we will easily defeat Pakistan, maybe India Under-19 team lost due to overconfidence. Pakistan Under-19 team must maintain the winning streak with which they won the final match so that they can perform better in the future.
I think most of the people who bet on this match lost their bets because most of the people around me were convinced that the Indian Under-19 team would defeat the Pakistan Under-19 team in the final and win the title, but it turned out to be the opposite. The Pakistan Under-19 team performed just as well in batting as in bowling, taking all the wickets of the Indian Under-19 team in just 26.2 overs. It can be said that the Pakistan Under-19 team completely dominated this match. And at the same time, I also think that defeating the Indian team like this could be a game-changer for the Pakistan Under-19 team. And at the same time, it will be possible to test their skills better in this Tri-Nation series.
Talking about betting, one more thing to mention is that in the final match of India U-19 vs Pakistan U-19, I definitely supported Pakistan but I had bet with my friends that India U-19 would win, unfortunately Pakistan won the match and I lost the bet. If we look at the previous matches, India U-19 performed quite responsibly in the final match, both their batting and bowling showed a very disappointing performance. On the other hand, Pakistan U-19 performed brilliantly due to which they were able to defeat India by a huge margin in the final match, but they need to maintain this winning streak so that they can perform better in the future.
24. Post 66217428 (unedited backup) (by Perfectbaby) (scraped on Thu Dec 25 19:42:07 CET 2025) in How do you classify reckless gambling as?:
Even if you're really gambling responsibly, I don't think it's right if your friend calls you a reckless gambler. Even then, we don't really know how much and at what level you are in terms of gambling. But if you are a responsible gambler, it would be better for you not to listen to these nonsense people. If it's too much, you can talk to him directly. You don't like the fact that he calls you a reckless gambler.
And finally, I would suggest that it is best to keep your gambling budget below 5% of your monthly income. In this case, if you spend 15% weekly, it seems a bit excessive to me.
Yes that is true and when gambling it is that better to keep our gambling budgets within 5% within a week but if OP is saying that the amount is entirely for the whole month then I don't see it as something bad as, 15% can be quiet reasonable depending on how frequent s/he do gambles could depend whether such amount is low or higher
For me, I do have specific amount I do use to gamble per bet as I do not spend above that amount per bet and is being divided across all my bets then I will know how often I would be online gambling and to know if such amount can actually serve me to finished the whole month allocation.

You have already mentioned in your post that Sri Lankan women's team is a much weaker team than Indian women's team and I will say the same thing and at the same time I will say that tomorrow Indian women's team is going to play for this T20 series with two matches in hand. And I will not be very surprised if Indian women's team whitewashes Sri Lankan team by defeating them in all five matches. Because Indian women's team has that ability.
So if anyone wants to bet on this match tomorrow, then they can choose Indian women's team as I will do if place any bet on this match.
India is a big name in the cricket world, be it the men's national team or the women's national team or the shadow team A of the national team or the age-based team. There is a place for Indians to dominate everywhere.
The India women's team is fighting against the Sri Lanka women's team at their home ground, which is probably an easy opponent for the Indian women's team. The Indian women's team is becoming stronger with the advantage of home ground. So if the Sri Lanka women's team cannot win any match and the series is whitewashed, then there is no reason to be surprised. Because the Sri Lanka women's team is not a very strong team like the men's team who can win at least one match. The India women's team won the first two matches by a large margin, where the Sri Lanka women's team is unable to put up a tough fight.
