Hello i can not download these programs

Sio, this video is from oldie 1.x version.

Version 2.x is alive and kicking at: http://betselection.cc/betsoftware-books/

Short & sweet:

We moved BetSelection to our new Iceland-based datacenter

https://check-host.net/ip-info?host=betselection.cc

The following matching websites are in preparation:

• BetSelection.is
• PublicDomain.is
• Abundance.is

(.is = Iceland's domain name extension)

Once we use .is domains only, Icelandic law gets to be the only set of laws our BetSelection operation gets subject to, which affords us a very calm legal climate.

Since we're programming the personal spaces for members at <user>.BetSelection.is, we can extend the very same environment to our users. We can surely self-regulate to keep good standards but it's always great to have good laws backing you up.

It's an interesting transition.

Right now, it's time to code! Next step is completing BetSoftware & our custom web engine.

Feel free to use the forum as usual.

Cheers!
Vic

You are our betselection forum's eyes; it is important you do this reporting so we can ban abusers.

Thank you very much.

"Boom" can be nice on multiple locations; the more payout, the better. Double-streets, quads, streets, splits and -of course- straight-ups.

Let's end the sponsorship in peace. Our community aims at being a friendly, peaceful place. There have been interactions derived from your sponsorship engagement which have clearly been part of an unhealthy scenario for all parts involved. In the aim of aiming towards peace, let's call it a day.

We're honouring the archiving of your posts past their removal from being highlighted.

If -on the other hand- you would like to have all of your posts and topics removed, we'd be glad to provide you with a retroactive full refund covering the entire amount you paid to have them published.

Thanks.

I'm back!! Beaten but happy & having enough resources to devote the rest of the month towards coding free 'wares for our community

After a (deserved) little recharge it's time to go full-blown

We have several goals to achieve,
Vic

Hi guys, chances are I'll be fully back at the forum on Tuesday/Friday. Hard at work right now!

Cheers & many thanks again

Hi guys, I won't be able to connect for the next few days.

Our June's goals shift to this month of July (the very same ones).

The forum stays in the good hands of Esoito & Adulay as global mods.

Please forward your forum-related concerns to them.

(Esoito is AUS timezone, Adulay is US)

See you guys in a some days & thank you very much again,

Vic

Welcome back dear friend 

It's nice to be backed by such a fine H.I. (human intelligence )

I'll be back in just a few more days to resume regular online activities as usual.

P.S. Andy also joined the crew.


Vic

Hi guys! Three very straightforward points:

- Esoito is back as a global moderator.

- Sponsoring the board doesn't give a member any more rights over the posts & forum members, it just gives them access to promoting his/her "paid wares" within sponsoring section/board.

- I'm devoting most of my online coding time to the web software all of our community's going to use + our upcoming BetSoftware so please contact Esoito/Max for mod issues. He can put people on pre-moderation/mute if needed.

Cheers & many thanks again.

Hello GG; yes, I know how it may sound yet even this very thread of mine goes away to be archived somewhere else because it's not gambling related.

Once you get your greenguy.betforum.cc space you'd be welcome to post anything you wish as long as it's legal under US & Canada laws.

Why these two countries? Because our .CC domains must comply with US laws & we're being physically hosted on Canadian soil as you can easily check by using any domain-to-location service:

i.e. https://check-host.net/ip-info?host=betselection.cc

We've tried doing this transition in the past so what's different this time? Simple: sponsors + money.

I'm being paid as the direct result of coding this (finally). I've learned the "no money, no code" reality from our past philanthropic ventures so, as a corollary, the "since there's money, there's code flowing" fact prevails now.

Furthermore, I retired from doing small-time private coding around the web so I'm not hireable online anymore. I've shifted to creating web engines, programming languages, smartphone apps and other products already. My personal 'lab' has partials for what there's to come during the year, so what others believe about what I am able to program or not bears no actual weight as releases come to light.

So yes, I'm a paid developer now, with a twist: my customers being our web operation's sponsors as well as the people buying the latest versions of our programs under our new support license.

We're also enabling the CheapComputers.cc community as part of our new (non-gambling) propositions where we're going to sell physical computer hardware but that's irrelevant to the betting side of ours hence not mentioned during this transition specifically.

---

One a last point. In addition to provable violations to US & Canada laws, we're adding this fast-track common-sense rule for expedited content removal:

- Unfounded accusations, doxing & hate speech gets removed on sight; contrasted to personal opinions protected by freedom of speech which can stay.

Example:

I think/believe <xyz member> is <whatever personal opinion protected by freedom of speech>.

Stays.

Versus:

<xyz member> is <direct accusation, not marked as being a personal opinion>.

Goes away as soon as spotted because it is an unfounded accusation unless there's accompanying undeniable proof of facts being published alongside, within the very same accusatory post's body.

With this fast-track removal + the requirement of it being legal under US & Canada laws chances are we're good to have a nice operation. Our focused BetSelection.cc for gambling discussion + the multi-forum site where each member has his/her own space to discuss betting topics with their own 'personal gusto' as well as being as tangential as wished.

(Any case, we're just some days away from our initial transitioning so there's not really much point on devoting to trivial talk about it)

Cheers.
Vic

We're about to be ruled by one simple rule/question here: "is it gambling-related?" If it's not = gone from BetSelection.cc

This nukes every personal quack & quarrel, trivial argument, bad-meaning message and the like, while leaving us with the juicy Bet Selection, Money Management and actual betting-related posts & topics (hooray!)

By updating our terms with Google-like wording in our next website revision, it let us slim newly-submitted posts to their very core if needed, in order to trim all of the irrelevant non-gambling parts.

When does this get in place?

As soon as we enable the new multi-forum space.

The working database model and controllers for the multi-forum are in place; so even if it's just a basic text, forms & images view, we get to launch it to close this month of June.

Since a modern web engine is never fully-complete anyway, we're going to launch what we have in order to 'iron things out' as they're needed.

What happens to all of the current threads/topics/content?

No content is lost, everything's simply moved to the new multi-forum with a 301 redirect away from our BetSelection.cc pages.

i.e. All of the irrelevant/non-gambling posts simply end-up at the new multi-forum space in bulk based on topic starter, while we reserve the right to keep all of the productive individual gambling threads/topics featured in here.

---

This is a massive shift in our community's focus and ways.

The new multi-forum enables every member to have a space to post as many personal/tangential/off-topic messages as wished while our BetSelection.cc space finally becomes a true betting-oriented community, focused strictly on productive discussion for productive-thinking fellows to build upon each other's relevant contributions.

Hopefully, by means of this move, we get to achieve the lowest signal-to-noise ratio we've ever had in our betting discussion websites.

Every featured game gets three sub-boards only:

• Bet Selection
• Money Management
• Game-related

Sponsors and truly generic sections remain.


Vic

Stephen Tabone agreed to provide a token of appreciation to the board hence, as a sponsor, his section's back at: http://betselection.cc/stephen-tabone%27s/

His topic has been reinstated inside the section too.

What happen to Stephen R. Tabone topic about his book?

Cheers

Hello sputnik, very simple, no conspiracy or anything: he just didn't considered it cost-effective to sponsor the forum at this time, hence his sponsored section was removed and his topic restored to regular baccarat section today:

http://betselection.cc/baccarat-forum/20-years-5050-baccarat-research-resulted-in-2-books-in-top-7/

He's welcome to continue posting as long as there's bet selection, money management and gambling-related information within his topics; just like any other member is welcome to do.

Cheers & many thanks!
Vic

Thread for wording the new rules in effect on July 1st as our June 2017 objectives roll up.

Basically:

BetSelection.cc's focused aim is being a website for the study of bet selection and money management plans for popular betting games.

The new criterion for choosing what to feature here is simple: "Does this topic relate to bet selection, money management or betting?"

If it isn't related to any of these then it belongs to the new (generic) BetForum site/space and would be moved accordingly.

This means a progressive moving of topics is going to take place.

Do notice: no content gets purged/deleted, just moved to its new destination on the generic forum.

This is made to get us back on track towards our BetSelection.cc's roots as a focused betting study group.
