Yes it is huge but if you choose right location you can have like 3malls in walking distance, like between gmall and abreeza is Victoria plaza(bit old mall) and not so far after abreeza is sm lanang, they all along same road(jp laurel)

Ageism. Only one guy I see in the travel threads keep mentioning age. And it's always negatively. There are countries and religions that appear a bit homophobic / sexist/ racist/ whatever. I don't really see it as an age thing. Bizarre to suggest that people born when homosexuality was illegal, would all be homophobic, and be homophobic forever

Back to Snooky.............

going to tard up this thread instead of the broke bros thread so im sorry for people who read this thread. Seriously can you stop saying i keep mentioning age. I literally mentioned it once here about clothes they wear when i was drunk. i dont keep mentioning age and youre making it up and its annoying me. So well done for making stuff up to make sound ageist lol youve mentioned that im ageist more times than i mention someones age negatively


And pure lols that you think older people arnt more racist/sexist/homophobic than the younger generation. Ofc they are. because it was normal for them to be homophobic/sexist/racist when they was growing up. Trying to change these thoughts when people are adults is incredibly difficult so it often goes uncallenged and there is a reason why people are more lenient with older people with their comments. they often say "excuse blah blah for blah blah, they grew up in a different time to us"

And i obviously didnt mean they all stayed homophobic/sexist/racit forever. But as ive said before, trying to change an adults opinion on these subjects is incredibly difficult compared to when theyre kids. When slavery/racism was legal. there was a lot more racists compared today. When being homosexual was illegal, there would of been helluva lot more "homophobic" people compared to now because they grew up thinking it was wrong to do in society. this isnt hard stuff to understand

im not saying "if youre old youre racist/homophobic" lol

so i have a problem

my crazy brain needs something to obsess over, i cant just like watch a tv show and enjoy the show, or walk around and look at ish, i need to be obsessing over something 24/7

for the past 6 months it has been "make it to the end of the winter poker time with a 5 figure roll"

that is done, not only that im in much better shape then i ever could have dreamed because now i have the stupid online work to tread water with instead of my original play from pre winter poker season which was living in hell for 6 months playing 40 sngs a day to tread water


but now i have nothing to obsess over, so i just keep breaking down different options of how much i may make per month doing this online work and either way its 1000ish give or take a few hundred and totally meaningless to think about


i dont know what to do

You should try some DFS basketball on fanduel. Can make some cash and it will give you something to obsess over. Just use a vpn when you sign up so they dont block you for trying to deposit outside the country if you decide to play.

Its nothing like sports betting your not betting vs the house. Alot of poker players have moved into DFS because they both use some of the same skill sets. Its a growing game and theres alot of dead money. You can start playing small 1.00-2.00 games. The 2.00 gpps on fanduel are 10k for first.

If you take it seriously and read how to play right the learning curve wont take you to long to figure out. Its also alot of fun if you like sports.

So the $1.00 and $2.00 games are profitable? How many people are in the pool?
And how many small $ ones do they run per nights?

What about higher stakes one? Those aren't as profitable?

I would presume you need some pretty gnarly simulations?

The game size depends on what you play. You can play heads up all the way to 80k tourney sizes. They run tons of games. You can also multi enter the big tourneys. The higher stakes ones are profitable if your good enough to make better decisions then the players in the game. Somebody just starting wouldnt be profitable in them.

The biggest thing about nba is reacting to last minute player news. You need to be on twitter and ready to hear what players will be out and figure out who will step up.

https://rotogrinders.com/ and http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/150/fantasy-sports/ are good places to start if you want to learn more about DFS.

Ok, thank you. And fanduel rakes in 10%? I'm guessing a lot of the players in the big pools are complete donks?

Edit: I'm guessing that the big 50/50 pools have tons of fish and are also super profitable if I want to start with something simple?

Yeah 10% rake. Same as poker more donks in the low limits. In nba even in the 25.00 gpps its not uncommon to find a player who was called out for the night a hour before tipoff to be around 5-10% owned while in the 2.00 gpp he would be a 8-15% owned player. Thats one way to make profit on the tourney besides making better decisions on your lineup.

I'd suggest checking out rotogrinders they have entire sections dedicated to teaching new players the questions you're asking. Stay away from cash(headsup) and stick to 50/50s or gpps. The heads up cash games are loaded with the top players from micros-higher stakes.
