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.

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.

Vic

Thanks to the kind fellows who supported

Thank you very much indeed Now we continue with our regular publications

We move forward to the next octave

Quote from: wannawin on May 10, 2017, 03:38:00 PMIs it a one-time payment now and I will have everything sold here until December 31, 2017 at no additional cost?

Correct Walter. Those who contribute via this thread are added to a special mailing list where they get unlimited access to all of our PDF books, software or any other product we put up for sale here during the whole year 2017 at no further cost. It is a one-of-a-kind gesture to reward this very special spontaneous thread.

Quote from: wannawin on May 10, 2017, 03:38:00 PMIs the minimum to give $ 25 USD?

It's exactly what you support as a gesture. You are already in. As soon as our first "Practical Roulette Matrix Book" hits the virtual shelves during the next days, you get your download link. Same for every other release as they happen.

Those who didn't pledge can use the Paypal buttons around to add themselves to the special supporters' list for the year. After it closes, it's the regular buying price for everything.

Supporting now does indeed fully cover until the last day of 2017 (December 31st) so you can consider this an early Christmas gift for the kind fellows who support

We'll leave the button up until May 10th, then they are removed and the long and winding process of publishing our four books begins:

• The Roulette Matrix Book.
• The Roulette Wheel Book.
• The Roulette Felt Book.
• The Roulette Timeline Book.

The Roulette Matrix Book began its diagramming. The domain name for our books is BetBooks.cc

Sale price is $9^.99, in a rolling-release distribution where we update the Book's version with every new addition. If you'd like to get all of the latest releases we make this year 2017 as a special treat for this special thread now, feel free to use the Paypal button below:

...It is a nice deal for a nice spontaneous thread which is 'd very much.

Paypal buttons get removed later so this is a last-chance opportunity for those who enjoy these betting topics and are inclined to reading them in full to get 2017 as a complimentary year.

We'll leave the buttons for some more time then they get removed and the long and winding process of publishing our four books begins:

• The Practical Roulette Matrix Book.
• The Practical Roulette Wheel Book.
• The Practical Roulette Felt Book.
• The Practical Roulette Timeline Book.

Content-wise these four eBooks are the "core projects" of 2017. The kind fellows who contribute here get all revisions via mailing list during the year as a thank you

A very grateful & happy,

Thank you Glen, Ted, Allan and Walter. You guys ROCK!

This sponsorship helps us advance our transition to our new custom engine directly.

Let's continue by PM

Well, a full-blown spam attack started all of this. Add people doing shady things and we end-up here.

If we go back to where we were, we'll have just viagra and porn spam.

In a around a week more than 100+ spam accounts were created in a row as we passed from ~1700 to 1800+ members out of nowhere. All of them are spammers ready to fire. Seems there were some automated security updates too. (i.e A character in my signature got messed)

Any case, these sort of things happen because we're using a 3rd-party core which was extended to get us online ASAP. I'm doing our own web engine from the very scratch so I'm not standing still. That's the one true solution. Getting us to a fresh code-base for us to have our own updates schedule.

Let me check what I can do to get us to a workable state around here. Rest assured your participation IS appreciated and I'm with you: it's sucky right now, but from the administrative point of view this is better than being flooded with nasties that would really ruin us badly.

Thanks for the comprehension. I'm  checking permissions right now.

Vic

Hi Glen, thanks for caring. Please check your messages.

Cheers!
