Shitter and I got another warning privately today from ownership. I suspect my time is limited here. And that’s fine as it’s a shell of the former wc and I’m ready to move on to degenerate sports gambling, which I read has now eclipsed investments. No idea if true but maybe.
so. My fellow degenerates @bradstevens @eppy99 and whoever was our World Series guy @bulk-vh did we ever agree? Last night I found myself going down a rabbit hole of this guy I liked getting “trespassed” playing black jack at casinos bc he was an “advantaged” player. He was counting cards. He’d last about 20 minutes at Mandalay and other decent ones then sneak into shitty ones like flamingo and maybe make it an hour. He’d win a few grand every 20 minutes. But he had a point system based on the cards and the shoe. His “true count” determined how much he’d bet. High. High bet. Low or negative minimum.
I don’t understand why this isn’t permitted? What’s the reason? Seems like bullshit
I thought it was Cosmic, but I was wrong.
I never understood the issue with card counting either.
.
@bulk-vh he’s Quattro ap on YouTube. The videos are like 20 minutes. Then they come and kick him out.. He created a simple point system or if not created following. He developed a skill. It seems ridiculous that’s not allowed. And he loses a bunch too

Mikki Mase is blacklisted from every casino in Vegas, I've read. Dude is a savant in terms of gambling.
Remember, Cig usually covers, so lay the points.
I’ve moved on from crypto and fantasy sports. My thing right now is investing in sports memorabilia. Mostly soccer cards right now. I’m banking on the World Cup lifting the soccer index card market. My biggest prospect right now I’ve been talking about on the soccer page is Estevao of Brazil. Those who know Lamine Yamal I’m betting this kid will be as popular and possibly as good as Yamal. So there’s my degenerate move of the year.
@boogie I don’t understand why if they aren’t cheating. How is being smart cheating
@eppy99 I know a guy who makes a shit ton on comic books. He was collecting them long before the big Marvel movie boom and had a bunch of rare first edition issues then. I'm way watering it down, but he was saying whenever a movie is announced with a character that hasn't been in the movies yet, the issue with said character's first comic appearance shoots way up. Sequels can help too, but not as much as that first appearance.
He also tries to follow the MCU/DCU trades so he knows which 'books' to take to shows or post online. He does overpay for first editions and has some that are worth a lot that he's holding onto. He has a whole room in his house where he keeps them.
One thing he told me is that it's surprising how many people don't know what they have. He said he'll go to trade shows and comic book stores and buy boxes and boxes of old comic books. He said he usually finds a few that are worth something in those boxes.
@mcm666 it really is wild. He's a great guy and actually incorporates comic collecting into his everyday work and networking. He's met CEOs and executives from some pretty big name corporations and organizations through buying and selling comics. That helps his 'real' job and he might not have met those people otherwise.
He writes about it semi-regularly. Here's a cut and paste segment on the industry he wrote recently:
"The Comic Book Market size was valued at $14.69 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from $15.4 billion in 2022 to $22.4 billion by 2030, at a rate of 4.80% during the forecast period (2023-30). Let me tell you, the person that paid $6 million for Action Comics #1 last month probably wasn’t a teenager!"
@ohio-guy that is insane. I know that is a crazy market. Ive watched a few videos on that stuff

GOD, you are starting to coach like Woodson. Pussy.
If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.
Hell, Even I have not got a private slap on the back of my head. I guess I need to up my game. I've been a bit lame lately.

Casinos are about making money just like any business. If you're smart enough to take their money, then they will put a stop to it.
It stinks but there's now law against casinos giving people the boot.
