Hei limon can you teach me the art of bookmaking please?

Lets say that a guy come to me and wants to bet 1.000 usd on player A ( for simplicity only 2 player, A and B. no draw possible)
Another guy want to bet 100 usd on player B.

How do I book this bet?
Which odds shall I offer?
How do I make sure that ill make a guaranteed profit regardless of the result?

you are a legend
Ciao

There are those on this forum who are closer to Micon so I would defer to them to confirm.

I will say that Micon did get into crypto before Haralbob and was as fervent, maybe moreso than Haralbob. So you can prob surmise the final tally. These guys are pretty secretive about what they are worth, prob due to potential tax liabilities, which reinforces the belief that they made a killing.

In this thread, Haralbob, mentioned he need a billion to buy a basketball team and that he got close but decided it would tie up too much money.
The Official Crypto Wealth Speculation Thread

Micon in 2012 discussing BTC on a crypto forum
Bryan Micon's List of BTC Ponzi Schemes that should not be listed as "Lending"

To put it in practical perspective, at BTC high of $65k, you would need 1,539 BTC to be worth $100 mil. Did Micon ever own that much BTC?

Who was this player abusing? If you really wanted to keep the player at the table, seems like you should have tipped the victim.

What’s your take on Todd?

Also, any takes on other known LA live regs: Garrett? Art? Shane? Adam OG? All the Hustler casino/stream guys?

Todd is a simpleton who sees the world as black hats and white hats and he has cast himself as a white hat crusader. todd has done the best with what hes got.

I avoid live regs like the plague. Ive specifically designed a game devoid of live regs for the most part.

What are your thoughts on tanking/calling the clock?

I play limit mix so everyone typically acts before I kill them but occasionally I have to sit in a big bet game and the time it takes players to make the most routine decisions drives me nuts. And I’m not talking about the fish. Fish don’t really tank

Do you think poker, as an offering is hard pressed in most Las Vegas casino settings to compete with video poker, slots, sports-betting and house-banked table gambling games when it comes to floor space, resources, and other overhead and marginal cost factors casino management considers ?

Godmother at Bay Cities is probably the best. i get it with torres potato chips.

For chinese chain food its hard to beat din tai fung or noodle street. both are very good and very consistent. everything on the menu delivers.

Ive never called the clock on anyone, ive never had the clock called on me. If someone is going slow i just ask "who's it on?" over and over.

Why not? Not against a fun player obviously but a constant tanker?
