There’s a popular saying that birds of a feather flock together. Does this apply to your gambling experience? What I mean is, do you have more gambling friends with whom you can share your earnings or strategy, or do you prefer to be on your own, not telling anyone that you gamble?
I have gambler friends with whom I can share my insights on boxing matches and horse racing. Honestly, it’s hard not to have friends in gambling because you want to talk to someone with the same interests.
I don’t know if there is a similar topic, but if there is, let me know, and I’ll lock this right away.
I actually have a lot of friends with whom I discuss my gambling, and I mostly share when and how much I lost because I rarely win. However, things are not such that we follow a strategy through which we will easily win at gambling. This is especially true in my case, because I think that gambling can never be won through strategy or skill.
It's just a lot of sharing our personal activities with each other, and in many cases, we personally bet on different sports with each other. And then there are the physical card games that are played.
Well, having a friends to discuss achievements and defeats openly is a nice place to face what gambling is like. The genuineness of your position that strategy or skill will never make the difference in gambling is a truthful one. This makes luck to be of the greatest concern when it comes to winning the bet.
Social interaction and excitement of competition should also be considered major motivators as manifested by the fact that you often bet together on sports and that you often play physical cards. Though here and there you may only flit at a strategy, it is a level-headedness to admitting that gambling is a game of chance and that, in cases of a preponderance of losses it is as such. This is a social activity, the price to enjoy themselves together is the amount of money bet.

This is excellent point about change in good work of team in T20 and ODI cricket. Since Bangladesh has been not so strong team in recent ODI matches whereas Afghanistan has been strong team then it is right to think of Afghanistan as favorite in game today. Their batting is biggest problem facing Bangladesh, which is shown by their low score of 221 in last match. To win, top batsmen of Bangladesh will have to do much better and either make big score such as 280 or more or be able to go after hard target, otherwise they will likely lose once again. Game will only depend on skill of Bangladeshi batsmen to finally do better.
From this point, it is indeed true that Bangladesh is weaker than Afghanistan in the ODI format. Whereas in the T20 format, Bangladesh is only one step ahead of Afghanistan, in the ODI format, Bangladesh is three steps behind Afghanistan. There is a huge difference in terms of ratings, with Afghanistan's rating being 93 while Bangladesh's rating is 76.
And here we can basically understand that the format plays a huge factor in the performance of each team, for example, the Afghanistan team was badly defeated by the Bangladesh team in the T20 match, but in the ODI, they did fairly well in both bowling and batting, and as a result, they won this match.
This means that this time the players of the Afghanistan team are stronger than Bangladesh. Bangladesh performance in T20 matches was excellent but in ODI they could not maintain this performance due to which Afghanistan left Bangladesh behind.If Bangladesh wants to return to its position it will have to defeat Afghanistan in ODI matches continuously. Only then can Bangladesh be equal to Afghanistan because they are far behind Afghanistan in the rating list.The run rate of matches in every format is important because if the rating decrease they will fall far behind. Therefore every team tries to score more runs than the team in front. Afghanistan has avenged the defeat in T20 matches now everyone is waiting for Bangladesh comeback.

I think the Indian team has taken a wise decision in this match because if they can bat for a long time in this match, then we can see a big record being broken by the player and the team. And of course, we can expect a minimum of 450 runs from the Indian team in their first innings, although the score could be higher than that.
India has completely dominated on the first two sessions of day 1. Without any doubts, India will play similarly in the 3rd session of today. They have already scored 220 runs by losing 1 wicket only. I guess they will easily score above 550 or 600 runs in the first innings. I hope Indian team decision makers will give the opportunities to their batsmen to make some records instead of declaring the innings. Another victory is loading for India by an innings. Bookmakers have already stopped accepting bets on India to win

The match first ODI match between the Bangladesh and Afghanistan team was going to start in a few minutes?
The Bangladesh team seems somewhat confident that they will win this match, but the problem is that Bangladesh's ODI captain Liton Das is injured and Mehedi Hasan Miraz has been given the captaincy in his place.
I had doubts about Bangladesh winning the T20 series, but they were able to whitewash Afghanistan there, so I don't accept the fact that Bangladesh won't be able to do well in the ODI format either. I think Bangladesh will start the first match of this ODI series by winning.
Bangladesh have already lost 3 wickets for 60 runs. Among them, Saif Hasan, who was in great form in T20Is, was caught by Rashid Khan off Nangeyalia Kharote for 26 runs and hit a six. Bangladesh are currently on the backfoot. From here, Bangladesh's batsmen need a big partnership to score a winning run against Afghanistan. Currently, Towhid Hridoy and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz are at the crease, and how many runs Bangladesh can score depends on these two batsmen. If these two batsmen can bat for 30 overs, then I think Bangladesh will be able to put up a good total against Afghanistan. The series win including the whitewash in T20Is has increased the aspirations of Bangladesh supporters, many think that Bangladesh will easily win the ODI series like the T20Is, but I think it will not be that easy. Let's see what the result of today's match is.

I agree with you, that's the essence of betting as much as we can afford. It means that the funds used for gambling don't exceed our means, so that if we lose those funds, it won't cause us stress or disrupt our finances. For example, if we gamble once a week and our budget is around $10, but one day we bet more than that, it will impact our finances.
Wise people won't allocate such a large amount of money to gambling because they know that loss is inevitable, so they only set aside a small portion of their income, for example, as you mentioned, 5% of their income.
Exactly that's what I wanted to say.
We should actually play the amount we can afford to lose and here not only lose we should use only the amount if we lose that we will not gonna be in stress.
I personally follow these types of rules when gambling and this is what basically keeps me out of gambling addiction and at the same time allows me to get real enjoyment from gambling. And besides, I also tell the people around me to gamble this way and always stay within the limit before spending money on gambling.
I observe that the values you have introduced form a firm base to responsible and ethical gambling. Betting within a range that is not distressing makes betting just a matter of entertainment. We have to be stern with ourselves, when we have attained that trouble-free loss, the game is over, by all means.
The importance of your behaviours of putting these boundaries in place and letting people know about them prior to leaving the house is due to the fact that this conduct adds personal responsibility and risk awareness into the social environment. In my opinion, this is the sole method to distinguish the possible road to addiction.
That's what it means to gamble within your means, allocating your money to gambling in moderation, and not depositing money that could impact your finances in real life. Many people find themselves in debt due to gambling addiction. This is one example of gambling beyond their means. Instead of seeking profit, it leads to disaster.
There are many paths to addiction, but preventing it depends solely on good self-control.

This saying is directly related to ones financial status To gamble with one can afford to lose doesn't mean to gamble or stake with smaller amounts.It all boils down to our financial status, there people that financial bouyant , they may decide to stake with a huge amount and it won't affect the way it will affect someone that is struggling financially. Let use this simple example to explain this better, Mr A has $5000 and then decide to gamble with $100 and Mr B has $200 and decided to gamble with $100. Now Mr A has gamble with what he can't afford to lose while Mr has gamble with what he can't afford to lose. It is always the impact that the lost amount will have on the gambler that will tell that the gambler has stake more what he can afford to lose.
In fact, I will say the same thing in this case as I said before, that a person should use the amount of funds for gambling so that if he loses, he will not have to face stress or any financial problems from gambling. It's not just about his ability to lose, in many cases someone who earns $200 has the ability to spend $100, but spending that will definitely impact his financial situation and that would be irresponsible gambling.
In this case, I think that every person's gambling spending amount should be below 5% of their monthly income. So that they do not have to go into any kind of stress or financial bad situation.
From this point of view, someone who earns 5000 dollars a month can easily spend 250 dollars a month on gambling, and on the other hand, someone who earns 200 dollars should have a monthly gambling budget below 10 dollars.
That is the best advice you can give to any gambler and anyone who does otherwise would have themselves to blame, I see how people make gambling look like a very bad thing they play blame games on it cause it gets people addicted but they don't think about those who fail to do it responsibly, people who fail to use the amount of money that won't affect them financially to gamble, and it should be according to the gamblers financial status, well 5% is not bad, I think it's fair enough but if it could still affect one financially they can still reduce it to about 2% or so, it differs for everyone though but the idea is to avoid reckless spending.

I will not disagree with you because the match between West Indies and India does not create any excitement among us at the moment because we can guess the result in advance. Here, the West Indies team is performing as an underdog team so that only the personal records of the players of the Indian team and the points in the ICC ranking are increasing.
However, from this perspective, we, the sports bettors, can make some profit despite the low odds. This is only our profit and we will not get any benefit from such matches.
You are correct that these matches are not very exciting since we can pretty much predict outcome of final result where West Indies team is obvious underdog. Central theme in these one sided series however is no longer game itself but individual Indian players who are increasing their own personal statistics and their standings in ICC rankings.
As gambler it is intelligent to perceive opportunity here. Although chances of winning bet are minimal but safe bets on outcome that is nearly sure can yield small consistent returns. But you are quite right in your last point it is okay to make money but these types of matches that are not very close or competitive do not add any real value to sport or fans since they are lacking drama and rivalry that makes cricket really great.
