While I am not a poker player, I watch with amazement this company coinpoker.com raised I estimate, @US$65-70,000,000 in Ethereum. They had a pre ICO (Initial Coin Offering) opened for 4 days and then the ICO itself which was opened for about a week 2 months later.

Just to share with our fellow members here what is going on around us. We ignore at our own expense what is going on with the Millennials.

Met a guy in Spore, a fund manager who was explaining to me that the Millennials (the young people today)  think that its difficult to compete with the old rich, the old businesses which have been in existence for decades. But the millennials refuse to surrender n kow tow to the old establishment n that's why cryptocurrencies  like Bitcoin n Ethereum were invented. And now lots of companies raise funds through ICO ( a type of IPO but using cryptocurrencies). Which is like crowd funding except that u raise funds through cryptocurrencies n normally its of a higher amount.

I think cryptocurrencies will do well over time. Retail has been disrupted by amazon.com. Transport by Uber and the likes. Hotel by airBnB. Dining by Ubereats, foodpanda etc. The last bastion for disruption is the financial industry. And it will be disrupted by cryptocurrencies and ICOs. For as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.

I enjoy reading your  writings and musings Glen. Some write with humility. Some write with arrogance. Some write with arrogance and fire in the belly!

Let us pray for those killed in the Texas church massacre yesterday. God bless their souls. Amen.

I went to the homepage wanting to contribute to help the forum keep going but don't see a button to let me do so. Perhaps there should be an easy way for people to do so without any complications?

Reading some of the material here puts in perspective my intellect level. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Its good for my vocabulary enhancement (no insult meant, truly!) because I really tried to understand what was presented and debated but failed miserably.

In any case, I have never thought about approaching gaming from this intellectual level. it's a resfreshing approach. Has anybody brought it to validation?

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  - Romans 8:31

For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Amazing, the endorsements. Some of it worded a bit contrived though. And the positive reviews are from members whose names I am not familiar with.

Otherwise it sounds like a good pitch

Dear all,

I really don't understand the accusations against Alrelax re fake games. I know him well enough to stand up for him to say to those who accuse him so 'stop the nonsense'

Why should he bother to make up fake results to disprove some book? When in reality there are all kinds of possible shoes that will kill a system one way or the other. As someone who has idiotically bought a few such systems (including BAT from Silverthorne) and in discussions wit Elliot himself on MvD etc etc there are always games that don't work well for ANY systems.

If you choose to believe there are holy grail systems that can handle ALL kinds of games please continue your faith. But please. Cut the accusation that Alrelax would do such a thing to post fake results.

From my @15 years Baccarat experience and research and experimentation including funding others for tests, I can say Alrelax has been one whose posts are factual, stimulating although sometimes, some may find it cocky at best and condescending at worst. But never, no, posting fake results. Please don't talk nonsense.

Seeing your passion on this forum I will go buy your book on Kindle. It will be my 5th purchase of a baccarat related book from Amazon. 🙄🙄  I have also bought 2 systems from Silverthorne and was also in a discussion with Elliot, the man himself the inventor of NOR, MvD etc etc.

I am of the considered opinion ( as also expressed by some on this forum more eloquently) that each system can only work in certain shoe type.  that's why I think Elliot has come up with so many systems and one has to go search for certain shoe types and apply different systems.

Effectively, it is play the trend as it reveals itself. And stay away during the random phase. If the shoe is showing rows of terrible 2s and 3s which normally kills most systems why must one be an unintelligent and bet against it as proposed by most systems that cannot defeat terrible 2s.l? In my early days  on this forum,  I bought a system, mastered it and went on a cruise ship with my junket. I quickly lost my credit following the system as I came up against several shoes in a row with distinct patterns of terrible 2s. The junket assistants looked at me in despair and at the end of the cruise asked me why She played so differently because the old Lungyeh would have made a killing from the distinct patterns.  Sigh! Life and all its wonders

Please feel free to ignore my comments. I probably shouldn't have commented. Just felt that discussions had been going on way too long and going nowhere on the small subject matter of a book.

Alrelax and Jimske have the one holy grail - play the shoe as it unravels before you.

Glen, Jimske!! This is getting too much! Wth! We having someone who plays the investment markets full time and analyses the baccarat game part time and writes his dreams when he sleeps teaching the fishes how to swim and we indulge his discussions?

What do you mean by a pledge? How do I contribute? I can pay through Visa. Please let me know

Still, I really appreciate your efforts and also your patience in dealing with that thing with a name starting with M. In my more than 5 decades of life, I sometimes come across people as difficult to comprehend as M. And they take delight in other people struggling in their efforts. Is there a term for such .....?

Moglizu sir,

I have Private Messaged one of the forum members to seek help to explain. Its just my thought that since the original strategy is from you, your public explaination in a clearer way ( no offense meant because some of us are not as intelligent as the rest and therefore find problems understanding especially when it is posted in multiple posts here and there) would help us better.

Thank you for considering Moglizu. God bless

I also don't understand. For those of us who really want to know and learn why are you making life so difficult for us? 😬😬. What is the definition of event? Each hand decision is an event? Just monitor 4 results?
