Actually I wonder why SBF got arrested? is there any rule he broke? but I can't find any laws that he broke.
It's the risk if anyone leave their coins on centralized exchange and it's their right if they use customers money for investment or other thing to make more money, even banks did that. I believe they have a rule if they're not responsible to recover customers money when something bad happen, all centralized exchange have this rule. So it doesn't make sense for me if SBF go to jail just because this problem.
"It's the risk if anyone leave their coins on centralized exchange and it's their right if they use customers money for investment or other thing to make more money, even banks did that" .. actually banks DO that. It's called fractional reserve banking and the great crash of 2008 proved how and why this can be a very dangerous proposition. SBF is yet another example of why this practice should be minimized. The guys also did countless amounts of lying and deceiving, so it's not like he didn't do anything wrong, because he certainly did. |

I'm curious which countries actually demand this, and not so sure I actually think it's a bad thing. Personally I lean more on the side of lesser government, more of a libertarian type-ish when it comes to government rules and regulations, but I think this could actually promote good gambling habits. That being said, I wouldn't want to deal with it and would certainly try and use ways around it if possible.

Thanks for sharing, I love learning about other cultures and was glad to read about another local game from on of the replies on here. I'm not sure there's any sort of local game in my area that could be turned in to a game that could be used on a gambling platform. The only local games I can think of that I grew up with are pretty universal in nature.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Deebo have a bit of a history of being injured? He’s certainly has this year at least. I’m really going to need him in one of my other leagues if I have any chance at making a run for the championships (which I doubt with all the injuries I’ve had this year).
He was wrecking ball last year, but yeah he's been plagued with a hamstring injury for the majority of this year. So have I, btw, but I'm paid much less and my hamstring has no impact on my job duties. Getting old sux. As for your Fantasy Leagues, I think you can write Deebo off for the remainder of the fantasy season. If he does play again this year it probably won't be until Week 18. Yeah that’s going to be one heck of a game this weekend. Even with all the injuries I’m kinda surprised to see the Niners still favored by over 3 points at the moment. Can’t wait for this showdown.
As long as Bosa, CMC, and Mr Irrelevant stay healthy I think we'll be fine. Deebo is obviously an important part of the offense, but mostly on novelty plays. He's super fast, so he'll be misses as a standard slot receiver also, but none of that is insurmountable from the team's perspective.
As for our fantasy league, I'm in the running for last place! I guess it's fitting since I won the championship last year... I feel like the Rams.  Are you sativa roller? If so, best name in the league hands down  Used to love me some of Dead too. I was a big fan of theirs even as a little kid. I remember their music video with puppets coming on TV as a kid, hence where my fandom started. Oh yeah I’m aware of how great Deebo was last year. I wouldn’t just classify him as a gadget player though. He means a lot to that offense and with him gone that’s going to make Aiyuks job all the more difficult. I can’t see them going very far personally, but we shall see. |

I'm first not sure I can agree with BlackRock here in their assessment. As someone who also closely follow financials (being that it's my job to do so), I've seen countless outlets predicting a recession for years now. I remember back in 2016 there was a big "recession" scare that never materialized.
I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but I just wouldn't bank on it. Yes this should be bitcoins time to shine, with inflation being where it's at, but unfortunately bitcoin is still too closely related to the stock market. I'm not sure we are going to see this separation anytime soon (though I sure hope we do).

The less we use cash, the more we pay people through a corporation. The last remaining use of cash and direct payments is Tipping.
Everything else we must pay through a corporation. We cannot pay another human unless there is a corporation involved. As cash disappears this becomes a final fact -- a corporation involved in every financial transaction you pursue. In each transaction, the corporation is taking their percentage but also controls and monitors your transaction.

While I would agree that this certainly does seem to keep becoming more and more the case, I can't say I agree with you in full for how much this is actually happening. I still know of a good amount of businesses where people actually request cash in hand. For example my dry cleaners will charge something crazy like 5% if you decide to use a credit card instead of cash, which essentially forces you to use cash. The laundry mat down the street only takes cash etc etc. |

I think lumping every single casino with an ANN thread here as being ripe with issues/problems is a bit unfair perhaps. I certainly don't disagree that most seem to have complaints of some kind, but I also think we have to look at the people who are doing the complaining pretty closely too. I think some of it is just miscommunication, not understanding the rules etc.
Now don't get me wrong there's plenty of accusations which stand true, and thankfully we have an avenue to expose those here on the forum.

It seems like you've just sort of convinced yourself that this Casino in particular is the best for you, and like you said you tend to just feel more comfortable when playing at this one in particular. I have a couple like this, both IRL (in person) and online. For the in real life/in person casino there's a specific casino in St Louis that I always just seems to have the best luck at. I try and go there as often as possible, but I also sort of don't want to go too much and ruin my luck lol. Of course this is all just stuff made up in my head, but hey, superstitions are a big part of gambling are they not.

Without Deebo, I'm just not sure that the Niners will have much of a chance. I mean without their starting quarterbacks I'm not sure they had a chance, but especially now. Will be a lot to have to overcome.
It's a high ankle sprain, so he'll likely be out for at least three weeks I'm guessing. Hopefully he's back before the playoffs. He'll be missed for sure, there are a bunch of tricky plays that just wouldn't work without him. The only game that I'm really concerned about is this Thursday at Seattle. If we win that one we clinch the NFC west, so that guarantees the 3rd seed at least. The rest of the season looks fairly easy with the Commies at home, a trip to Vegas, then the Cards at home. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Deebo have a bit of a history of being injured? He’s certainly has this year at least. I’m really going to need him in one of my other leagues if I have any chance at making a run for the championships (which I doubt with all the injuries I’ve had this year).

“ Fanatics Betting and Gaming has an industry edge combining one of the best global databases of diehard and casual sports fans, proven creative marketing and social strategies, cutting-edge technology, and Fanatics’ global brand recognition” https://www.fanaticsinc.com/fanatics-betting-gaming Curious if anyone had any thoughts abut this. I personally have never been a big fan of Fanatics (to those who aren’t aware of who they are, they are an online sports apparel website. They’ve expanded in to other sectors such as baseball cards, where they purchased Topps, a legendary baseball card company). I won’t be using their services , but admittedly very curious how well they’ll do. |

Unfortunately, Sam Bankman-Fried's views about compressing books in blog forms are shared by most youths of this generation. Most of them seem to be on the fast lane to achieve success without investing time in the foundational knowledge of a particular field or endeavor.
Regardless of the claims that learning should be concise and attractive, they cannot dispute the fact that knowledge and experience are not cheap. Yeah, quality and not quantity should be the benchmark of scoring a book but to get a piece of in-depth and comprehensive knowledge about a concept there is a need to gather information from diverse authors of different blogs, books, and other material. There is some vital information that is not available in blogs, you can only access them in books.
The former FTX boss has accepted to appear before the Senate Financial committee but he warned that his testimony wouldn't be helpful. He stated that his comments might not reveal what the lawmakers wanted because they would not be detailed.
You are certainly right in saying "Unfortunately, Sam Bankman-Fried's views about compressing books in blog forms are shared by most youths of this generation". It's sad how the youth today has changed so much in this sense over time. It's no surprise to me what so ever that he doesn't read books, or is dumb enough to say something like this. I've never met a super intelligent person who doesn't read books, and a lot of. This is just very telling to me. |

Gavin Andresen, former lead bitcoin developer (appointed by Satoshi) did come up with the idea of "physical bitcoins". Essentially some posted a coin they had made which is thought to be the first ever produced and Gavin suggest they add and address to the coin by putting the private keys on the back of it, and cover it up. ( see this and the historical timeline of physical bitcoins here- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174217.msg52116521#msg52116521 ). This sparked the first ever physical bitcoin/physical bitcoin wallet ever. First BitBills were introduced, then shortly after Casascius. Casascius made these coins as a way for people to better be able to grasp the concept of bitcoin. He felt that if people had something in hand, it might help them to better understand the concept. So this one thing you could try to use to help out. |

The only gambling techniques that I really have probably solely resign with poker, or Texas Hold'em to be more specific. This is easily my favorite games at the casino (roulette being a sizably distant second). I think one of the main thigs, or techniques I use, is just ultra concentration. Players often do different things when playing to try and psych out their opponent, and for me it's no different. I just try and think of anything other than poker when I'm playing, especially when I've got a great hand or trying to bluff, this way I try and come of as even keeled as possible. I try and always look the same..straight faced and calm. Of course this only works for in person gambling, and not online.

I'm curious who you guys would list as your top 5 players in the world right now? I think you've obviously have to include
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and Kevin Durant. But after these three, I feel like it's pretty hard to round out the top 5. I feel like Lebron is still in this category, although of course getting pretty close to longer being there. But who else would you guys choose to round out your top 5?

I'm trying to keep my enthusiasm from getting the better of me, but HOW ABOUT THEM 9ERS?!?!? Our defense kept the GOAT guessing all day, and our quite relevant rooky QB is looking like he's got a great career ahead of him. Last week as I watched Garoppolo being carted off the field, I was sure our season was going right along with him. Somehow, I think our chances of reaching the playoffs (and winning) just got better. Speaking of Garoppolo, did anyone see him on the sideline yesterday? Neither did I.  I'm extremely impressed with how well the 49rs have been playing despite the fact that they've lost both of their starting quarterbacks. However... you've all heard me bitch about injuries in my other leagues so far this year..well add Deebo Samuel to that list. Without Deebo, I'm just not sure that the Niners will have much of a chance. I mean without their starting quarterbacks I'm not sure they had a chance, but especially now. Will be a lot to have to overcome. @Moon- nice game. I was spouting off how you can't just look past my team as it's still pretty good/competitive and then I go drop an 80pt game  . What an ugly season for me in this league. |

Of course Josh Jacobs has a big game as we square off (not that it matters for me at all lol). I have to say of all players that I incorrectly judged, he tops the list. It’s not that I didn’t think he had the talent, but I just thought his team around him would fail to be competitive enough to help him succeed. But he’s been balling regardless.
You and me both, that came out of left field! Guess he really wants a killer contract next year. I thought for sure a shitty team with coach issues would never produce a top 20 back let alone a top 5 one! I had Jacobs last year and he was doing ok, so I drafted him again. Basically thinking that a shitty quarterback means more work for RBs, look at CMC et al. Did not expect him to do quite this well but I guess Carr sucks this year more than last year Surprisingly Jacobs does not have most snaps in the league - third after Barkley and Cook by count, and third after Barkley and JT by percentage. Hopefully that means more chance for him to survive through week 17. My team is actually playing pretty well right now. I've got 22pts with Joe Burrow, 14pts with AJ Brown, 15pts with Najee Harris and struggling a bit 4.6 pts with Diggs, but still that's a pretty nice start to the game yet I'm already projected to lose with a win probability percentage of 27%. I swear lol. Not to mention your defense right now is currently -1 points. Such has been my season. Not catching too many breaks. Still a lot of game left, but well played so far Moon! |

Rams still suck horribly though.

If the purchasing of bitcoin is not in your spendable budget, then you shouldn’t be purchasing any bitcoin at all. First off bitcoin is inherently not an investment, secondly it’s likely to have a lot of volatility for quite some time, so if you do purchase some make sure you expect it to go to zero. That way you won’t technically have to worry about it taking a big hit downwards.

LOL this is pretty funny and I can't say that I know anyone personally who has done this but I can share a story that would be relevant here.
If anyone reading this is a fan of the Howard Stern show this would ring a bell for you. One of the Stern show staffers, Sal Governale has a father who's a chronic gambler. He will do all sorts of whacky shit. Like for instance the day his mom died he made everyone in the family go to bed with a pen and pad of paper because he was sure she was going to come to them in their sleep and reveal winning lotto numbers. He owned an Italian pizza joint and would kick out homeless people for being in his store for too long, but before doing so he would make them write down a few of their favorite numbers to use for the lotto..for some reason thinking they had luck coming due to him.
So there's all sorts of people who do crazy stuff like this!
