Guys,i am a total stars n00b.
Just made platinum ....whoopdedoooo.

What an earth do you spend your fpp's on? to gain some "rewards"?

Is is best to exchange fpp's straight for cash in the store? mtt tickets?
Ive done some research,but its all mind boggling tbh.

Im thinking of going for supernova....but still deciding if its all worth it.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

The highest conversion for fpps is to use the concierge to purchase a time machine with which you'll be able to travel back to 2006

Thanks for this most informative of answer's...

However, ive asked concierge about this time machine,and they politely said"no"

What is the best way to spend your fpp's please gentlemen?
01-30-2012 , 08:40 AM

save your fpps until you are supernova, biggest cash bonus is 0.016 $/fpp, even better is concierge-service, 0.016128 $/fpp.

Im really new to stars...soz.

How can you put a price on concierge? isnt it just a service?

So,is that what most serious grinder's do? keep your fpp's until you make supernova?

How much roughly does supernova cost in rake to achieve?

if by cc u probably have to wait until it clears.
01-30-2012 , 11:58 AM
no not by cc. I think I have to play with the money first, just not sure for how long (like certain amount of vpps or hands or w/e)
01-30-2012 , 11:59 AM
Pretty sure when you have raked $20k they up your transfer limit to $50...
01-30-2012 , 12:16 PM
my transfer limit is like 5k i think, but they don't let you transfer money that hasn't been in play yet

Wrote this blog post on my myspace page 4.5 years ago, my best friend made me a stop gambling book with pictures and excerices to help soon after. I did not listen to the book




This might be long, but Im basically just writing to kind of give some info about a random persons life. Kinda helps me a little bit.
Looking back when I moved downtown, i was excited as could be. Just wanted to move out of the parents house with no plan at all. I got a job and started back in my awful poker habit which has ****ed up my life for the past year and a half. Ive probably lost around $$$30,000$$$ or more with online and casino play. From March until May I did nothing but work everyday and play poker. I made no friends or attempt to meet anyone new, instead I just gambled. Didnt pay my rent, my car payment, cell phone, insurance, credit card bills for months. I worked 60 hours a week, made over a grand a week but didnt pay any bills?? How ****ed up is that. Luckily I have a mother who loves me and bailed me out on the cell phone and insurance. Got a lucky 3 day work period to pay $$1000 dollars to catch up on rent, car got repo'd and cc bills have still not been paid.
Now its June, I had no job at all, no money to my name, hair long as ****, pale, didnt look like the pics when I was modeling anymore and i said I need to get my ****ing life back together. Sitting here I cant even remember anything I did in April, not one thing. Very Sad.
I started getting back into my modeling work, called my agency and started doing other promotional modeling work. Finally went to the beach, working out again, got a tan and promised myself I wouldnt gamble for a month, besides I had no money at that time. I had really no friends downtown at all, and didnt know any women. I got lucky and got a job bartending and everything seemed to be going well. Met a few girls when i started there, had fun, had money, paid some bills.
Sure enough the old habit comes right back into my mind and I went to the casino and one week I had literally $10 dollars in change to my name to being up to $2000. I actualy paid my cell phone though, paid my rent, and my other bills I had and was still left with alot of money. Im sure you can guess what my jackass does next and seeminlgy a week later am back to where I was before.
My job is all ****ed up, my love life is non existent, i dont do anything besides go back home. I need to get a ****ing life and get myself straightened up. Tonight at 2 AM it begins. Im going to start pursuing my personal training more seriously, start working more at my job, and already booked 4 modeling events for this weekend. NO MORE ****ING GAMBLING.
2 more years left in Chicago until I move to LA and pursure my becoming a famous model/actor dream that alot of people have. Hopefully I will look back at this in 5 months and will have mode progress.

If you read all this, your ****ing nuts, comment with a smiley face or something, give me some positive motivation lol. Thanks
