Honestly, I can't understand how you USA guys can stand these Moneyline odds, decimal odds FTW!  Tongue

haha!  Decimal odds are definitely better, but I have become accustomed to the money line odds.  I also fancy the fractional odds Tongue

I'll take any odds I can get as long as I can gamble on it!

Yeah, log in, take some screen shots, and let us know the levels.  Hell, I might even take it depending on the levels.  Haven't played that game in almost a decade but I wouldn't mind getting back into it... if you defaulted Tongue
1365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting Picks ( RECORD 143-64-16) on: August 15, 2013, 03:56:37 AM
My picks for today:
Cleveland Indians v Minnesota  over 9  -113  These pitchers both have been awful, so this should be a high scoring game
Arizona Diamondbacks ML-126   Corbin on the mound looks promising
Texas Rangers ML-230  Garza will ensure the Rangers don't lose twice in a row to the freaking Brewers

3 for 3 tonight!  (I don't count parlays Tongue )

Hope everyone is doing well Smiley

Shame these arent the military mres. If you come across the legit military mres, i would buy a few cases.


I have two cases of legit Military MREs from a 2007 exercise with the USAF... what would you pay?

My wife says I should get rid of them, but I think they are pretty cool to have around the house.  You know, in case of zombies Tongue

Edit:  Wait, the pictures just loaded.  Why would you think the OP's are not "military MREs" ?  I can assure you those are the exact same as mine except for the box and the bag that holds the contents!

I am REALLY leaning towards getting a second GPU miner..    I had a to late to the game  BFL orders and got a Refund for them.. I have a Knc on order but Seriously considering cancelling that and buying a new GPU miner instead..  Just the more I see of the Calculators for ASIC’s the more I am thinking ASIC’s are going to have a VERY small window and most wont even breakeven at the current Difficulty increases..

Yeah ASICs are risky business, IMO.  At least a GPU is useful for something other than mining so it has a resale value even if mining becomes extinct or BTC value hits $5.  I'm keeping a watch on Cointerra, though, since they are located in Austin.  Depending on their minimum order requirements, I will likely become a reseller, or in the very least a group buy organizer since I could do local pick-up and am conveniently located by a major airport (DFW).

Which KNC unit do you have and when did you order?  You might consider mining with it for a week or two and then selling it.  You should be able to pull a profit that way.

As long as BTC value remains constant and people are still playing the alt-coin game, then I don't see how profits could change too drastically.

Since the arrival of ASICs, it will forever be more valuable to mine Scrypt over SHA256 with a GPU, and this pool in it's Utopian form, is the most profitable way to mine scrypt coins.

That being said, maybe another algorithm like Primecoin will come along and a GPU miner will be developed and then Scrypt is no longer the most profitable to mine with a GPU.  At that point, though, h20 will likely create a new pool for the new algorithm.  The 3% he is getting from this pool is very nice supplemental income. Smiley



1375  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com on: August 14, 2013, 06:50:12 PM
Yeah, the hashrate being large is causing a small lack of profits. It would be nice to redirect a portion of the hashpower. I've made no progress on that task so far. It will be a while before I have that, if ever.


Couldn't you use different ports to essentially have multiple pools running?  Then do a check on each of them to make sure they aren't mining the same coin?

Just brainstorming.  I think your pool is great no matter how many people complain Smiley

Good deal!  I haven't accessed my wallet since Monday.

Thanks, tittiez! 

Blazr, I will hit you up with your .115 when I get home Smiley

1377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting Picks ( RECORD 143-64-16) on: August 14, 2013, 04:07:50 PM
just want to ask for what these numbers are
-270
-snip-

Those are the odds. 

Example -270 is a highly favored team.  You risk 100 to win to win 37.07 or 100/270.

I'm sure someone can explain it better, but basically you view it as +115 = 100/115 positive modifier, so 115% of your bet is your winnings.  -270 would be a 100/270 negative modifier so 37.07% of your bet would be your winnings.  At an even zero you get 100% of your bet as winnings.

Note:  if you win, you get back the risked amount (that's really not considered part of the winnings though)
1378  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Roulette gambling system: Triple Martingale on: August 14, 2013, 02:41:25 PM
Another fun thing to do is just play any two numbers over and over again.  I usually 7/10 and play the adjoining bet (17:1) and also do martingales on the 1st third and 1st column.  With the 3:1 bets you can go pretty deep, but with the adjoining bet you can go 44 deep for 129x the original bet.

I usually only do these silly things at online gambling sites since I need a spreadsheet to keep track of what I am to bet next.

Live roulette is much more fun because you get to drink while you lose money Cheesy
1379  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Roulette gambling system: Triple Martingale on: August 14, 2013, 02:18:33 PM
One time at a live casino I was getting a lot of strange looks because I was drinking and decided to do Martingale on Red and Black at the same time.

It was pretty funny, after I was up like $40 one guy looked really puzzled.  I told him I was crazy... don't think he ever figured it out.

Tongue

Edit:  An example in case anyone is confused.

Code:
red	black	r+b	ttl	result	won	ttlwin	p/l
5 5 10 10 red 10 10 0
5 10 15 25 red 10 20 -5
5 20 25 50 black 40 60 10
10 5 15 65 black 10 70 5
20 5 25 90 black 10 80 -10
40 5 45 135 green 0 80 -55
80 10 90 225 red 160 240 15
5 20 25 250 red 10 250 0
5 40 45 295 black 80 330 35
10 5 15 310 black 10 340 30
20 5 25 335 red 40 380 45
