General Discussion / $10.000 deposits
March 05, 2024, 11:42:40 PM
There are probably some other posts regarding depositing or withdrawing $10,000 or more from your bank account,,......but if you missed those posts. the link below may refresh your memory if you are thinking of depositing or withdrawing $10,000 or more from your bank account...... money obtained from gambling winnings or other financial transactions..............
I have a feeling that there is alot of money hidden in mattresses or buried in the back yard in the USA as well as the rest of the world.

General Discussion / Play poker.....win easy money ....NOT
December 05, 2023, 03:08:13 PM
If you are considering playing poker for a living, this is what you are dealing with when you play poker for high stakes.
https://www.pokernews.com/news/2023/12/wesley-airball-accuse-mars-cheating-poker-games-45012.htm
I love the part where they put a "special" deck into the game........also it seems that there are decks imported from China that are marked and you can see the actual cards being held by all the players, and are all but impossible to be detected.........probably you need special contact lenses to see the cards.

This is a little off-topic but since this is an election year in the USA, I thought this quiz may be of interest

General Discussion / bank account cancelled

Here is some info as to some people having their bank accounts cancelled for seemingly unfair reasons.
https://news.yahoo.com/why-banks-suddenly-closing-down-155511987.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
Also be careful if you carry large amounts of cash travelling to or from a casino if you play poker, baccarat, sports betting etc etc etc and you get stopped by police for speeding in a car or are in an airport ....it is possible the police can confiscate all your cash and, hiring a lawyer may cost more than the cash you lost.

Vegas and Atlantic City / corporate greed in vegas
May 30, 2023, 03:54:11 AM
Good article on how vegas casinos are screwing their customers....and most visitors don't realize it......they just go to vegas to have a good time.
I wonder how long it will go on before customers start to get tired about getting ripped off and will stop going to vegas.
If the Journal paywall shoe up, just click on the X button in the right hand corner and the article will appear.

General Discussion / crypto
May 27, 2022, 02:05:54 PM
I think there were some posts about speculating in crypto currencies......maybe you should read this article in the wall street journal before you risk your hard earned dollars in a crypto currency.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/terrausd-crash-led-to-vanished-savings-shattered-dreams-11653649201
Sorry.......I tried the link and there is a pay wall for the Journal ( have to subscribe to the Journal to read the article) so you probably will not be able to read the article.
The article said that numerous people lost their life savings trading crypto. Classic example of a herd mentality bubble.
Nothing comes easy in life.......unless you have rich parents who leave you a lot of money when they die.

Looks like the BJ teams are still trying to make a dent in the casino's profits.
30 minute video below..... about one such team who played just before the virus started in 2020.
Make sure you watch the whole video because the last 2 minutes are the most interesting........it shows how
the variance in the profits and losses can be very brutal whether it's roulette, blackjack, poker, sports betting
or baccarat.

Baccarat Forum / Important lesson
February 01, 2021, 03:31:40 PM
Most of you have probably heard about the current wall street situation regarding GameStop (GME) and other stocks which were bid up to unbelievable and unrealistic price levels by many retail
( unintelligent money ) mostly young stock traders who banded together using social media like Reddit and the RobinHood trading platform, and created a trading mob which bid up the stocks in an attempt to create a short squeeze in order to destroy the professional hedge fund traders ( smart money ) who had shorted the stocks.
This resulted in numerous hedge funds losing billions of dollars ( see the article below ) who had to cover their short positions at higher stock prices.....and also lost over 50 % of their trading capital and needed a cash infusion of $ 2 billion to stay solvent.
What has all of this to do with gambling speculation such as baccarat, roulette, sports betting, Blackjack poker etc etc etc?
Well, the lesson is to set a conservative % of bankroll which you are prepared to lose for any baccarat shoe, set of roulette spins, poker session, individual bet on any sports event, etc etc or you can end up like the hedge fund in the article below which lost 53% of its trading capital on one trade and would have gone out of business if it could not have received the $ 2 billion cash infusion.
I think this is the most important lesson any speculator in gambling or investing should learn.
You can't continue to play the game if you lose most of your trading capital or gambling bankroll if you lose most of it in a very unwise single bet or gambling session

Las Vegas Bookmakers should post a bet to estimate the over/under as to how many people will be infected during the Sturgis motorcycle get-together........ and another bet as to how many will be infected as they return home.
The Strurgis motorcycle meeting is a perfect example of why a vaccine may not have much effect as to eliminating the virus.
