Ya it wasn’t a huge number for what we were betting, I think we held similar numbers with me owing him that never got settled and then it swung the other way. Been busy and travelling a bit coming up but I plan on posting in the scam thread when I get a chance.

Been busy traveling a bit coming up and will make a thread when you get a chance? You gotta be a lot more ambitious than that if you wanna get paid

Seeing that you worked at Stars security, I have a question. I used to play high stakes HU sngs across all sites up until early 2016 or so, although I prob had the lowest volume at stars. But seeing as these games were by far the worst affected from cheating from players who used RTA, and as such affected me personally a lot (even had a prop bet vs. a guy from a German bot ring , where I think they all got banned in the last 2 years, which I lost, but that was mostly due to running bad and not playing very well, not sure if he actually used RTA), I was wondering if you knew, to what extent stars was monitoring these issues at the time. That is users using bots/GTO software in real time.

Say in between 2014-2017 or so, did they have any idea the extent to which this was going on, and how good do you think you guys were at catching these type of people? I.e. the ones using RTA in any game, not colluders or things like that. Did anything ever happen to these people outside of getting accounts closed/money confiscated, like getting blacklisted from Stars live events/casinos etc.?

Do you think the stars security team was very competent/have enough resources to deal with the vast majority of cheating etc. or would a lot of such things pass under the radar most of the time (unless there were some people who sent in evidence like the disgruntled cartel member thread in NVG).

Do you think that going forward, security will be more lax and cheating issues will be more commonplace, i.e. more lax security now that it seems they have budget cut that department? Or is stars reputation enough of a deterrant to prevent the majority of these incidents.

Not sure if you can even talk about these issues, but would be cool if you can give some info on it.
I cannot talk about, well, basically, any of it. I've read over my agreements and I guess I can say positive things about the company, so it looks like I'll be staying silent.

Bots were the one area in Game Integrity where I did almost no work. I did collusion investigations, multi-accounting, following the money trail on hacked accounts (use double factor authentication please people) hoping to get back what we could and make it inconvenient for hackers, and cases of grimming/blind manipulation. I do know things but I cannot disclose anything that isn't public. Parts of me want to see that company burned to ashes but other parts of me think they'll sue over everything and anything (even if it would be mutually assured destruction). Good people were working on the things you mentioned. Whether enough was/is being done is in the eye of the beholder. As far as I know/was told to me, budget for RTA/bot type stuff is not decreased. Director of department gave some public access before I was let go and said as much. Re-allocation of resources toward those bigger concerns you mentioned. Disheartening they didn't ask me to do those roles or ask me to move to NJ as they hired people to do my exact job there when I had ~9 years of kicking ass, but so it goes.

I think online poker will be dead in the near future. RTAs/solvers/etc will be too good and widely available for a cheap enough price. It will become like online chess. So, not dead, but not what it was.

-company bought by a public company with stock holders

- stock holders like their stock to go up

- when you cannot grow the actual poker playing public much, only way to make more is other verticals and/or cutting costs

- workers let go to cut costs

- cannot disclose anything negative that isn't public, so I'm afraid it will not be entertaining to discuss much

Last month it was Big Rob Style pleading guilty to millions in fraud and now Parlay Patz is indicted as a maniac. This industry smh
03-05-2020 , 12:51 PM
I never thought of the threatening players and their family before the game angle. Smart bettors like Parlay Patz are always looking for an edge.

Gotta figure out a way to game the polls, more Bernie makes market go down more Biden makes it go up. Plus you can get infinite volume down in stonks.

Today is a good day to start buying stocks with large China exposure: BABA, XPEL, LVMH, AAPL, SBUX, et al. Check back on this post in 30-60 months.

why today?

Your tables literally have nothing to do with what I wrote. There was no such thing as China Exposure in equities in 1987 or 1931 ffs.

Do better.

what about fading disney now that HULU doesn't have live sports since live sports don't exist
03-12-2020 , 06:06 PM
What about Altria at a near 10% dividend yield? Sales go up in a recession, historically. I think the NNT fanbois would even call it anti-fragile. And they own Juul if that's your thing.

Not since he gave away his investors' alpha FOR FREE in his book and screwed all his investors so he could be on the NYT best-seller list.

The guys who bankrolled his career and lifestyle for years and years and he turned around and effed them in the A. Of course he still took his fees and carry while his returns went in the toilet.

Store of value?
03-12-2020 , 11:05 PM
Gamble on technology that hasn't been useful outside of funding illegal activities

but real stores of value like gold and palladium (RIP) suck too.

Feels like a Saturday in November where CFB/CBB/NBA/NHL are all losing only this time I can blame dropping 25% on the Chinese instead of myself. We've been prepping for this our entire lives boys. Stay strong.

Maybe we should have a month of school

Lets pick a sport, strategize, gather data, etc. and analyze it all together. Community building.
