Wannawin the 'moderation code' simply refers to the outcome of recent discussion about post deletions.

And YOU were part of those discussions! Remember now?

Here's the link again:

Victor needs to now code some of the decisions made into the forum code.

It's nothing to do with putting money into moderators' pockets.

You are very mistaken thinking that !!!

I've already said in another thread: Moderators are NOT. PAID. ANYTHING. Never have been. Never will be.

Wannawin is not right.

Rest assured moderators receive NOTHING from donations.

Never have. Never will.


Victor uses the money to pay for domain renewal and hosting.

So we face a simple, stark formula:     no domain renewal + no hosting fees = no forum.

Strewth -- nice profits there, LF. 

Obviously a bit more than 'beginner's luck' is at work!!  Well done.

Good points, Wannawin.

You know what? If each member donated $5 once a year  All worries about running costs would disappear for ever.

The horns of a dilemma...

I see you asked for marketing help at Black Hat SEO and got nowhere, thanks to some over-suspicious poster.

(Given its name and given your honesty it's a good place to avoid, methinks)

You've invested a lot of time and energy in the product.

And from what you write and from your videos it seems to be pretty profitable in disciplined hands.

So why not simply use it and make $$ for yourself, and dispense with all the stress, costs and aggro associated with marketing?

But if marketing is still in your sights then for

Folks -- here's why it's worth supporting this forum.


I recently wrote: 

I'm a moderator here for one reason only --  to help Victor realize his software goals.

He has visionary dreams, hopes and aspirations that will give great benefits to future computer users worldwide. (No, I'm not talking only about his gambling software. His plans are much bigger than just that!)

My help in running the forum frees up much of the considerable time and energy he needs to code his software, as well as trying to earn a self-employed living in a financial environment that would challenge most of us.

So I do it for him for no financial gain, but because I share his extraordinary and visionary goals.

A man worth helping...


And here's part of Victor's reply where he explains exactly what he's trying to achieve:

My long-term software goals (beyond gambling) are:

- An easy-to-use web engine. In order to allow anyone to become a forum/community administrator without worrying about updates or the technical aspect.

- Creating easy programming languages to serve both as an introductory point as well as suitable for medium-sized development. At least two: one basic, one more advanced. The gist is them being future-proof, to compile to the "fashionable" platform of the moment; this way users do not have to re-learn every time a new technology arises and code re-use is elevated to the maximum.

- Making a family-oriented operating system. I see this aspect of computing very neglected. Having the ability to re-use computing power to allow more members of a family to have a computing venue, re-using as much of the family's current hardware as possible. The gist would be multi-seat/multi-user abilities in an easy fashion. Today's devices are able to handle great amounts of work. This can be a boon for low-to-medium-income families.

All of them accompanied by an optional membership service (i.e. official hosting for the web engine, source version control for the languages, cloud space for backups from the family OS).


Rest assured I am committed to BetSelection; likewise it is also worthy to note that -rather sooner than later- a spin-off site devoted to these software goals can appear alongside to complement us. So we can devote at least a little towards eventually achieving these worthy goals.

I'm 100% focused in developing the software for us here, plus the above are long-term projects to be realized as we have a thriving community here... but as you can see, we are meant to be part of something bigger and much helpful to others as well. In time.



So your $$ support will help to translate his intentions into reality, sooner rather than later.

Given that for many $5 is one bet only then supporting the forum with $5 seems like a good bet to me! 

@ Sputnik

CB has long since left the forum for family reasons.

So he's very unlikely to reply to your post(s).  Just so you know.

Very impressive.  And flat betting, too. 

Certainly shows one can make $$ without progressions.  (XXVV has also shown that, too.)

You might -- just might -- see a sudden change of name occur.

Don't be too surprised if it happens!

I could hear sighs of relief!  They'll help the deficit. More to come... 

Oh dear. The Wisdom of Solomon is called for. Bit of a grey area...   The way I see it is this -- the poster didn't actually write the 4-letter words himself. Someone else did.  Adulay alludes to  that in his opening sentence.

Perhaps the Rule perhaps needs to be tightened to cover the use of 3rd party stuff on the forum.

Now, if any want to argue the point (and don't one or two members love to argue!!) then start another thread -- don't hijack this one any further! Ta.


[And, before I forget, for those two barrack-room lawyers who think I should never sleep, not have a private life away from my PC, and who obviously have no understanding of time differences and international time zones then yes, there will be inevitable delayed reactions from me occasionally. 

Or, as Adulay noted, we sometimes also wait to see someone dig themselves into a deeper and deeper hole.]

And thank you for those kind words of support and perceptive observations. Greatly appreciated, believe me.

Your last couple of sentences were spot on. 

Sadly that's exactly how it is with those that either don't read the Rules, or they simply stick up two fingers at the rest of us as they willfully choose to ignore them!

I'm fast running out of patience with them...

Making intuitive leaps...forming intuitive connections... 

Just for starters, skilled detectives not only follow step-by-step procedures, but their intuition can often lead to a successful cracking of a case.

Same applies to other occupations in medicine...research...design...the list is endless...where intuitive insights can provide an edge.

There have even been instances where intuition has either kept a person safe or prodded them into taking an action they might not have otherwise taken.

For example:  http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/theme/Premonition/

Like it or not, intuition exists. And it can even be harnessed with practice.

I clearly recall one time when I was consciously writing an article with DublinB running in the background when I suddenly "knew" 32 was going to arrive.

I promptly put 5e on it as I was so confident. And it dropped in. A nice payout!

"Well," you might say. "It was either intuition -- or luck."

My money was on the message received from my subconscious intuition. And I acted on it.

Intuition is, of course, part of a toolbox of selection methods. Nobody in their right mind would use it exclusively and that is certainly not being advocated.

But as the forum is about 'bet selection' then all bet-selection-doors should be open to those with open and enquiring minds.

Or is that being totally unreasonable?

For those interested in exploring their own powers of intuition this link could be of interest:

http://www.magicintuition.com/magic-roulette-intuition.html

[Disclaimer: I have NO association with the site or the software. The link is provided here for information only.]

I soon found the use of the word 'magic' in the site's name is unfortunate. There's nothing magical about intuition at all.

There those who claim we all have it to some degree. Apparently in some it's well developed; in others it's a latent ability that can be developed.

Perhaps that might apply to you!

Hang in there, muggins!

You know it's profitable overall. So don't give up.
