@BillKrackman All at the expense of the avg player in favor of a smaller customer base w/much higher bankrolls, until they milk em dry, burn em out, piss em off, toss em to the curb, w/hopes of a new crop of suckers in the pipeline. How long can they survive under this modern model? 🤷‍♂️🎰🍀✌️

@BillKrackman 😂👍

@BillKrackman Love the Dow Jones ticker tape machine 👍

@FezzikSports Hey Steve, since you’re taking a mild break (selling picks) for a bit from these shenanigans, have you considered setting up some type of “teaching” program to educate suckers or those of us who’ve tried for years to improve our skills at this stuff to have a fighting chance? ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@JesseCohenInv My people. Love it. We’re all hiding in front of our phone and ‘puter screens now. Lmao 😂 maybe toss a few sports games up on the screens too ‘cause you know many of us market geeks are doing that stuff too.✌️👍

@BillKrackman @RR39 I wish we could bring my wife along more often Krack. She is lucky 🍀 as heck, but she is bored out of her mind by anything sports or casino related. I’m happy if I can get her to enjoy an afternoon at the racetrack just to hang outside watching the ponies run once a year. 😂✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@BillKrackman Nowadays, track takeouts are insane, short prices, many races raise fixed-race skeptic’s heckles, and stewards are inconsistent with foul claims imho. I still love watching, but trying to beat the game is worse than a slot machine imho, especially w/the new phantom tax. 🤷‍♂️🐴

@BillKrackman There were some nice OTBs in the Chicago area I’d go to w/my pops in the late 70s, early 80s. We’d have lunch & spend some quality time together. I remember them being well kept & generally respectable establishments. However, the sport of kings had regular fans back then. 🐴✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@StanTheCaddy6 @BillKrackman Best post here. Most of the time that supposed AP counter pops when I play that machine, it pays crap, so I’ve given up chasing it unless it happens to occasionally be up there and extremely close when I randomly sit down to kill some time. Peace ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@BillKrackman Holy Sh*t! Krack, that’s highway robbery. Add IRS theft of unrealized gains tax on top of that BS and they’re burying us before we walk in the door. WTH is going on? Are people really crazy enuff to keep playing some of this stuff? We really have to pick our spots these days. ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@JakeMorrisonNBA Too many whistles & free throws in the game to begin with these days. Just have players put on pads & self police the game. Make the refs just time managers, score keepers, and mitigation specialists there to try and keep the peace. Put the f’n whistles away & play ball 🏀 🤷‍♂️🤣

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@BillKrackman Been quietly watching & listening to ya for a long time sir. Just thought I’d drop a quick note to say thanks for all the wisdom and stories. Keep up the good work. Peace ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@MTTrading2 As an old school collector, who’s given up due to BS since the last “boom” & infiltration of “gambling” markets by some greedy pricks out there, I’d love to see crooked players who take advantage of & scam others taken down & have real collectible value & scarcity revived ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@MTTrading2 Your will power to stay on this kind of BS in the market still gives me a “small sliver” of hope for a better future in the collectibles market at some point during my retirement years. Godspeed. Peace ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@MTTrading2 No way. Don’t tell me this is so. I’m shocked and now riddled with emotions.😳 Rflmao. Peace✌️😂

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@CFCNole @KevOnStage @Showtime_MOB Unless peeps are on the ML/Spread, seems like some hardly care who wins anymore. Pro sports occasionally feel like individual player shows since most leagues are supported through revenue sharing. Win? Lose? Entertain? Rig? Another work day. Still get paid! 🤷‍♂️ Peace ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@KevOnStage .. to keep this massive industry alive and well (imho) without inevitably going back underground, all professional sport leagues MUST be legally classified as Sports Leagues and NOT ENTERTAINMENT to protect the integrity the game & betting community. Peace ✌️

[Brian Collects @BrianCollects]

@KevOnStage … I wouldn’t mind if they reduced or eliminated sports props on individual players (especially “scrubs”) where they have the ability to control an outcome before the game or match even starts (fake injury, weak play targeting under, colluded overs, etc.) - finally…

@DMProps @AzGaming @GoldenNuggetLV @goldennuggetac @GoldenNuggetLC @goldennuggetlt Sorry for delayed reply, but yes I finally did after posting on X & multiple copies & complaints sent to the gaming commission. We should ALL #Fear & #Hate dealing w/ crooked (imho) books like this! It #Angers me SO MUCH! Trying to stay in the game is hard enough! Good Luck🍀
